Quote from: Bloody Stupid Johnson;550234Read some more into Rockhome (not any GM secret stuff) just for background. Duncan is probably from the military clan, and his Immortal would be Kagyar, as usual.

Diplomacy and dwarves don't usually go together, my theory is that Duncan has a delay between thinking stuff and saying stuff thats longer than most dwarves by about 0.1 of a second, so that he opens his mouth and then closes it again, rather than putting his foot in it in the traditional way. His inner monologue would be interesting though.

Awsome!

Looks like a great character Sigmund. I always liked the Academician kit.
 

Quote from: jibba jibbaThe problem of course is that the guards represent the legal power in the city and Rask the Noble thinks that the best option is for both of the combtants to surrender and then face justice. He is also naive enough to assume that the truth will out and justice is even handed even amongst these lower species just as it would at home in Theeds.

So on that basis he will only intervene if the criminals start killing guards or if the guards fail to treat their prisoners fairly once they have them subdued.

Reminds me a bit of that scene in Pulp fiction

@JJ.
Didn't want to drop too much ooc chat into the other thread. Just had a thought: Its possible that the guardsman who got stabbed isn't completely dead yet, in which case prompt use of the magical healing power might save him, if Rasks' sympathies are with the guards and he's feeling noble. =P

Indeed an option I am considering likewise I am wishing Rask had some more balls and was willing to wade in and take control and calm everyone down ah the naiveity of youth ....

Quote from: Bloody Stupid Johnson;550234This probably doesn't help but I thought I'd see if I could find any catguy pictures that might work as a character pic for Rask. OK, nothing really great here but you never know ]

Was thinking more



but with chain mail

MTG has some awesome cat man art i will track down a decent pic

Damn, that is a bitchin' tigerman!

Also, BSJ is right: the man hit by the dwarf is badly injured by not dead.  Rask can see him moving and hear him moaning.

Brenden, Don Dulce Rivera is needed!

Brenden, you message box is full so I couldn't respond there.

Standard PHB for starting gold.  Rogues gets 2d6 x 10 gp.

Cool on the other part too.

Missed that thread. How do you do the spoiler tags

When you're in the message editor the last button on the right (looks like a square within another square) wraps spoiler tags around things but they're easy to do manually. They're just

Fyi, usually if you want to figure out how to do something like use spoilers or whatever on a forum, usually all you have to do is find a post with that shit in it and quote it. You can see how it was put together by looking at what comes up in your reply to thread window.

I have stolen BSJ's character layout for preliminary work-up...

 Special Benefits: The Academician receives both of the following benefits:
 
 1. Academicians maintain an extensive correspondence with scholars throughout the world. Additionally, an
Academician's reputation as a man of wisdom often precedes him. When encountering an NPC who is familiar with
his reputation, who turns out to be one of his correspondents, who fancies himself an intellectual, or who is an author,
researcher, teacher, journalist, or fellow scholar, the Academician receives a +3 reaction bonus.  
 
2. The Academician receives a +1 bonus to all Intelligence Checks and Wisdom Checks.

Has the “Farsight” legacy:
Here's the Good: "The character can see clearly even reading if so desired for a distance of up to 100 yards per level of the caster (to a maximum distance of one mile), though not through obstacles. If the caster prefers, the Legacy can instead be used to examine something in minute detail, enabling the character to detect tiny seams, minute marks, even the impressions left from writing."

Here's the Bad: There are certain physical detriments if you become Afflicted.

Here's the Ugly: You permanently lose 1 point of Strength.
　
Background
Finnur is from the Duchy of Frisonnia in the Kingdom of Eusdria. As a new apprentice while first learning Alchemy, Finn became impatient and tried mixing a batch of smokepowder with added vermeil and cinnabryl dust to try to increase it's efficacy. The foolish experiment detonated, wrecking Finn's strength and marring his body with a large red patch that has resisted all attempts to heal it. This accident, while damaging Finn's body and dampening his spirit, alsogranted the young elf a level of wisdom and capacity for patience uncommon even among his long lived race. His once attractive face marked by his impatience, Finn often wears a hood and seeks to avoid direct attention, except when engaged in scholarly discussion, especially about the Red Curse and the Legacies that come with it. About these subjects, Finn has a scholar's obsession, and he has dedicated his life and studies to pursuing knowledge of both magic and all things relating to the Red Curse, including continuing his study of Alchemy. Newly freed by his Wizard master after being pronounced competant to seek power and study on his own, Finn has set out to learn all he can about his chosen areas of knowledge.

Raven (Crow)
Ravens and crows are often mistaken as bad omens by superstitious farmers and peasants. They attack
with strong claws and their long, sharp beaks. Ravens employ a grab and peck approach to combat.
These birds are 10% likely to attack an opponent's eyes. If successful, the attack causes the opponent to
lose an eye.

Still a work in progress, but many of the essentials are done.

If I am allowed to roll for a familiar beforehand, my roll is:

Die roll for elf wizard

Campaign: Drohem's Red Steel
Rolled on: June 21, 2012, 10:56 a.m.

1d20 → [6] = (6)

... which would make my familiar a crow.

Cool, Sigmund!

I'm going to try to get another IC post done later today, but today is the due date for my son's arrival... so we'll see how it goes.  Wife is kind of needy at the moment- which is completely understandable!

Good luck brother, wishing good health and swift delivery to you and yours

Yeah best of luck.

The delivery takes ages though so no reason why you can't slip in a smart phone or a tablet and knock up a few comments while your misses is screaming about how she is never goign to let you touch her again

You're so bad JJ.... but yeah, it does take forever Luckily for us, they forget about the whole "not gonna let you touch me again" bit as soon as they see the end result and century after century of primal instincts designed to make women get weak-kneed in the presence of babies kicks in and they are practically ready to make another right in the hospital room

OK, Sigmund's character is good enough to get into the action for now.  Sent a PM about minor stuff.

Well, in typical child fashion, my son is being a pain in the ass (pain the uterus for my wife, LOL!) and has decided to hang out longer than expected.  Still waiting for him to arrive.
