Congratulations Daina, have a good time, I can tell you will!

bonus feat
two 1st-level powers
Entangling Debris
(Roll twice)
Thicken Skin
Know Direction and Location
With those rolls I think the gods are telling me to continue.
Thinking of a human wilder. Will think about backstory, but my breadth of experience with Dark Sun consists of playing Shattered Lands 20 years ago.
I've got some reading to do.
I'd forgotten about this thread but will monitor it now. Also, don't fret too much about particularly high or low ability rolls. I can use magic items and other bennies to even things out between those more and less blessed by the dice gods.
After a couple days of thought, I'm just not inspired with any good story ideas. I'm bowing out. Good luck to the GM & players.

Hope I wasn't out of place reviving this thread from the dead. I just didn't want to clutter up your game threads.
I'm working on a Halfling Cleric of Rain at the moment.
Alright, done with my Halfling Cleric of the Rain. Bring on the storm!

Magical gear:
He favours loose, comfortable clothing with many pockets to hide things in, dyed in shades that make it easy for him to blend in with a crowd or go unnoticed in the shadows gathering in Tyr’s narrow alleys. A deeply hooded cloak of loosely stitched cloth is an item of preference, and he rarely ventures abroad without the protection of an armoured jacked of mekillot leather studded with scales.
Nonetheless, he does his best to portray himself as a rather villainous type, finding he gets less hassle if most who know him fear him. He tries to avoid open battle as much as he can, considering an arrow in the back from as far away as possible the best way to start and end a fight. Talmun has a passion for gambling, and considers cheating without being caught a natural element to any game of chance.
Only Talmun’s father, a hunter too old and stubborn to recognise he could no longer support even himself alone, elected to remain in the wilderness. Leaving her husband to his inevitable fate, Talmun’s mother Vetha took the remainder of her family (Talmun being the oldest of five) to Tyr. There she sold herself back into slavery, the price of her bondage going to Talmun with his promise to care for his brothers and sisters. Vetha disappeared into the Brickyards, to join the sorry slaves bound to spend their short lives toiling on Kalak’s ziggurat, and Talmun, at the age of fourteen, found himself head of the family.
Finding home in a tiny hovel within the warrens, the naïve Talmun was swiftly swindled out of the coin made by his mother’s purchase. In desperation he turned to thievery … and turned his fortunes around in less than a month. With a knack of burglary, pickpocketing, scams and intimidation, Talmun became a child of Tyr’s streets – the worse kind perhaps, but one that saw his brothers and sisters fed, clothed and even educated in a fashion without facing the heavy chains of slavery or the string of a master’s whip. He in turn, developed quite a reputation, and grudging respect even from the duplicitous elves, who taught him a little of their language as they fenced his stolen goods.
Talmun’s skills as a marksman also found favour, for though his father had never taught him the ways of the desert, he had shown him how to use a bow and make viciously barbed arrowheads from the teeth of kes’strekels. The shadier members of Tyr’s underworld paid well for assassinations, and one such job led Talmun to cross paths with the Veiled Alliance.
The murder of Gurzen Rhuc’Tel was not planned by the Veiled Alliance, but when the smuggler was found one night with an arrow in his throat it was considered a convenience. As one of few apart from the elves with the means of smuggling magical components into Tyr, Gurzen had for too long been a necessary evil for the Alliance. They needed him, but his loyalty was ever suspect, and many suspected it was only a matter of time before he went to the templars with what he knew.
It was Talmun’s arrow that silenced Gurzen, following a generous bounty paid by the elf C’hel, who wished to corner the market in esperweed, a trade in which Gurzen also competed.
Following Gurzen’s killing, Talmun began to feel extra eyes on him in crowded places, and strangers following him about the warrens. Fearing the templars, he ambushed one of these ‘shadows’, and thus made the acquaintance of Aramethesa, a young sorceress amongst the Alliance. An unfortunate run-in with Kalak’s forces a short while later gave both a chance to demonstrate their mutual hatred of the templars, and a friendship was formed. Through Aramethesa, Talmun was recruited to act as Gurzen’s replacement, and began smuggling spell components for the Veiled Alliance through his contacts in the Elven Market.
The years have passed, and Talmun’s secret involvement with the Alliance has deepened (as have his unrequited feelings for Aramethesa). His siblings have grown up and gone to find their own fates in the world, and without familial responsibilities Talmun has grown more reckless in his desire to strike back at the templars who lord it over the poor and enslaved. Unbeknownst to him, his actions and allegiances have become known to the templars . . . .
This is the latest incarnation of Uggu (other have been destroyed, lost or simply fallen apart). Talmun uses his innate psionic wild talent to animate Uggu to intimidate or simply confuse those he does business with, fuelling the rumour that Uggu is a golem under Talmun’s control.
