Background

A rich man had been blessed with a beautiful child. As perfect as "three peach flowers floating on a pond in the light of full moon" had the childs mother said. And everyone agreed. The word spread of this wonder and patrons of many merchant clans came to see their rival's beautiful child. Soon even the rulers of nearby cities had heard of the man and it brought him fame and with it even more wealth. The child grew and his beauty grew greater, but people soon forgot about him as people do.

One day a wise woman was travelling through the land and saw a child playing in a peach-garden. The beauty of the sight enamored the woman and she asked a nearby villager who was this child. She was told and though she soon resumed her journey she never forgot.

Years later a rich young man was practising his swordarm. Every slash perfected for elegance. Style was in his blood. Suddenly he was interrupted by clearing of throat. A messenger was standing behind him, and the man silently created a poem about his annoyance in his mind. But he took the letter with a smile and sent the messenger away. A day later he was already on his way, not knowing what to think about this mysterious letter.

Here's what I have in mind visually:

Growling Ape

Name: Growling Ape / Shizaru, the 4th monkey
Quote: "Man's schemes are inferior to those made by heaven."
Race: Nai-nek-chai (Baboon)
Class: Druid 3
Class Variants: Spontanous Caster, swift hunter, martial

19 Health; 12 Grace rolled 6 for 3rd level
XPs: 3.000

Str: 12 (4 pt)
Dex: 14 (6 pt)
Con: 14 (6 pt)
Int: 10 (4 pt, -2 racial)
Wis: 16 (6 pt, +2 racial)
Cha: 10 (2pt)

Bodily able and wise but no very friendly demeanor

BAB: +2

Refl: +3
Will: +6
Move: 40'
Init: +2
Listen/Spot: +9
Loads: Light: 0-43 / Medium 44 - 86 / Heavy 87 - 130

Racial Traits

- +2 Wis, -2 Int. Nai-nek-chai are creatures of instinct, not intellect. Nai-nek-chai base speed is 30 feet.
- Medium: As medium-sized creatures (in their humanoid form) nai-nek-chai g
bonuses or penalties based upon their size. Shapechanger: All nai-nek-chai are Humanoid with the Shapechanger subtype. Animal Blood: Although Humanoid, nai-nek-chai are also considered to have the Animal Type for the purposes of spells and effects. For example, a nai-nek-chai could be affected by both a charm person and a charm animal spell.
- Low Light Vision.
- Animal Form: A nai-nek-chai may assume the shape of one species of Small or Tiny Animal. To do so is a standard action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity. A nai-nek-chai may assume animal form a number of times per day equal to 1 + his Constitution bonus. He may remain in this form indefinitely, and may return to human form in the same fashion (this does not count towards the number of changes per day).
Any armour or clothing worn at the time of transformation simply falls off. Magical worn items may remain, at the GM’s discretion. In animal form, the nai-nek-chai’s mental ability scores are unchanged. He keeps any skills that he has (although it may not be possible to use some in the new form). He gains a modifier to his physical ability scores depending upon the animal form taken (See Table: Animal Forms below). He may also gain any modes of locomotion that the new form has, and any racial skill bonuses. The change in size will affect armour class, attack rolls, Hide and grapple checks. In animal form a nai-nek-chai gains any extraordinary abilities of the animal form and any attack forms (and is automatically proficient in their use). Where the creature has a single attack form, the nai-nek chai applies 1.5x his Strength bonus to damage. Where an animal form has secondary attacks these are made at –5 to the attack roll and x1/2 Strength modifier to damage. A nai-nek-chai may learn the Multiattack feat to reduce this penalty and may also learn feats such as Weapon Focus and apply the effects to his natural attacks. A nai-nek-chai is also eligible to learn Improved Natural Attack, Ability Focus and other applicable ‘monster’ feats. Improved Natural Armour, if taken, applies only to the nai-nek-chai’s animal form.

Staff -- +3 To Hit, 1d6 Damage (x2)

Spiritual Guide

This would be my conversion:
You are befriended by a spiritual guide that speaks to you and aids you as long as you remain in the wilderness.
Level: 1st.
Replaces: This benefit replaces the animal companion class feature.
Benefit: You gain a spiritual guide. As long as you remain in natural surroundings (including underground caverns), this guide is a constant companion. Once you enter any civilized area larger than a hamlet, however, your spiritual guide leaves your side, returning only when you return to the wilds.
Although it cannot protect you from harm, your spiritual guide can warn you of impending danger. As long as your spiritual guide is with you, you gain a divine bonus equal to one-quarter your druid level (rounded down) +1 on Handle Animal, Knowledge (nature), Listen, Search, Spot, and Survival checks. In addition, you can use commune with nature, as the spell, once per day (caster level equals your druid level).

Skills:
Concentration: +6 (4 ranks, +2 Con)

Character Quirks

I hope you all are not easily annoyed by asian proverbs I will add the meaning.

Houserules

For hit points, I am using a variant from the Book of Experimental Might. You gain extra hit points at 1st level equal to your Constitution score +1. You also get any bonus hit points from your Constitution, plus maximum hit points for your character class type. Thus a rogue with Con 12 would have 13 (Con+1) +1 (Con bonus) +6 (rogue hit die) = 20 hit points. This makes low-level characters more robust without needing to start at 2nd or 3rd level. Hit points gained from Con (in any form) are known as ‘Health’ and those from class hit dice are known as ‘Grace’. There are no real mechanical differences between them, except that you lose Grace first.
Hit points from the class hit die are added to Grace
Hit points from Constitution bonus are added to Health

Taking a Breather
Breather moments give a PC a chance to gather himself—to mentally regroup,
collect his thoughts, catch his breath, and take stock of the situation. Characters
who use a standard action to take a breather can do one of the following:
• Heal up to their level in (Grace point) damage
• Gain a bonus to damage equal to +1 plus an additional +1 per four levels
on the following round
• Gain a bonus to one attack roll equal to +1 plus an additional +1 per four
levels on the following round
• Gain a +1 bonus to one spell save DC for a spell cast on the following round
• Gain a chance to make another saving throw to shake off an unwanted
condition with a duration measured in rounds (as opposed to minutes,
hours, days, etc. or one with a duration of Instantaneous or Permanent)

Because taking a breather is an action, conditions that prohibit actions—
such as being stunned or held—prevent a character from taking a breather.

A character can take a breather only once per encounter. A character cannot
take one outside of an encounter involving a round-by-round initiative count.

Standing up from prone does *not* provoke an AoO.

Scribe Scroll becomes Craft Spell-Completion Item. The end product is the same - an item that gives a single use of a spell, that can be used by anyone with that spell on his spell list. It may be a scroll - sutras and ofudas are fairly common, it may be a talisman or lucky charm. The exact form is up to you, depending on the character of your spellcaster.

Brew Potion becomes Craft Single Use Item. This is a single use magical item, usable by anybody. It may be a potion or oil, it may be a specially grown fruit, it may be a scroll, it may be a pebble inscribed with magical symbols. Most spells can be turned into single use items. Ranged attack spells are usually turned into 'detonations' that require a ranged touch attack to work. Some special cases may need review on an individual basis.

The Bonded Item feat may be taken by any character of 3rd level or above, provided that they have used the item in question through several dangerous situations (and it has made a difference). A bonded item gives a +1 enhancement bonus to its 'normal use'. Most common would be a weapon, gaining this bonus to attack. A suit of armour may also benefit but other items such as thieves tools, rope, artists brushes and so forth are all candidates. Once bonded, the wielder can also spend XP to add further enhancements to the bonded item. Thus a bonded sword can gain further bonuses or special abilities. Obviously this is easier to adjudicate for weapons and armour but imagination can be applied to other equipment.

This means that, for example, swords become legendary because of who wields them, not who made them.

Losing a bonded item may or may not be a real pain. They should be fixable, with maybe a monetary cost for the ceremonial materials. Still on the subject of swords, that gives you a quest to retrieve the Green Destiny sword, or to reforge the Sword That Was Broken etc.


You can 'weave together' three spell slots of a given level to create one of a higher level. Thus you can give up 3 0th level slots to cast another 1st level spell.

Conversely, you can 'unweave' a higher level spell slot to give two slots of the next level down. Thus you can give up one 2nd level slot to create two 1st level slots.

Weaving up can be done indefinitely. You can weave three 0th level spell slots, add that new 1st level spell slots to 2 existing 1st level spell slots, weave those three to give a new 2nd level, and so forth.

Weaving down can only be done for one level. The spell energy 'released' is weaker and less stable. Spell slots created by unweaving a higher level spell cannot be unwoven further.

0th level spells cannot be unwoven. 9th level spells cannot be woven. (Neither has anywhere to go!).

This gives greater flexibility to casters and makes them more useful for longer. It also adds a very fun element of resource management where a caster can 'throw his last bit on magical power' into one hopefully crucial spell, rather than being stuck with a bunch of 0th level resistance spells.

Background

One day, a great lady was traveling through the countryside, when she came upon a crossroads. A young man sat in the crossroads, crying over his fate. A man of no possessions and no trade, he could not marry the woman he loved. He had nothing to offer her except the dirt beneath his feet.

Being a kind lady, she asked after his troubles.
Being a wise lady, she informed him that even dirt could have value.
Being a generous lady, she gave him a trade.

The great lady gifted the man with a small plot of land, so that he might be a farmer, and marry his love. In time the man and his love were wed, thanks to the great Vashti of Cormondal. And in more time, a son was born to them. They named him Dirt, so that they would never forget the lady's generosity and wisdom.

Years passed in happiness for the couple and their son. But eventually war, famine and drought came to their land. Livestock died, or were stolen. Crops withered. Disease and violence took the couple, and maybe in death they will be reunited.

...

One day, a messenger was traveling through the countryside, when he came upon a farmhouse. A young man sat in the house, silently facing his fate. A man of no possessions and no trade, he had nothing to his name other than the dirt that was his name. Filthy, tired, and covered in soot from his parents' funeral pyres, he contemplated the point of a dagger. The messenger delivered his letter, and a young man found enough will to rise to his feet and walk out the door. . .

Annika has come a long way since her nearly feral childhood, and the original Vashti had a lot to do with that. Though she is adapting slowly to civilization, and still distrusts human beings, she is growing more comfortable as she deals with them more.

Jar'thol is a slim Salsham'ai who wears simple brown leathers and a hooded cloak. A few swirling green patterns decorate his clothing and make him harder to spot in woodland areas. Like most of his people, Jar'thol wears his hair long and partly braided. He also almost never wear boots or shoes.

Background

Jar'thol grew up in Little Thalsa in the port city of Llaza. As a youngster, he always liked to go down to the dock area and to speak to the travelers about distant lands. The docks were a more dangerous area than the beloved treetop of Little Thalsa but all the wonderful stories made it worth it. Eventually, wanderlust took over and he started to travel the lands.

Like most of his people, his elders had taugh him the way of the spirits and how they influence the great and small events of everyone's lives. However, he never felt their presence as strongly as after he started his travels. Jar'thol always felt a conforting presence watching over him while he was on the road. One day, while visiting a small group of salsham'ai in a deep forest, he was invited to meet the matriach of the community. In a surprising turn of event, she told him that she felt a strong connection between him, the spirits and the Pas Aat. She would teach him about them if he stayed with this community for a while. Curiousity and a bit of mystic compulsion made him accept her offer. She was an old withered crone but her knowledge was vast. She told him much about nature, plants and the spirits of the woods. She also showed him how to call upon the spirit to help manipulate the Pas Aat. Eventually, she told him that he had learned all he could and that he should leave her to her rest. He never saw again the old wise woman but afterward, the spirits were always with him, protecting him and allowing him to help those in trouble.

A few years later, Jar'thol was visiting yet another little colony of his own people, near the town of Cormondal. The treefolk had trouble with local farmers who had started to excessively hunt game, gather fruit and mushroom and cut lumber in their forest. This was caused by a flood that had destroyed most of the farmers' crop. Being familiar with human culture, he met the local Vashti and together they were able to come up with a peaceful trade and cooperation agreement between the two groups. Impressed with his talents, the Vashti invited him to stay in Cormondal and help her with her good works. He did so for a while before wanderlust took him again and he left to explore other regions. A few months later, a messenger carrying a letter found him as he was staying in a human inn. The content of the letter sadden him a bit but the curious Jar'thol once again took his pack and headed toward Cormondal.

Appearance:
Shakou definitely was not a woman to make a small impression. With amber eyes and catlike pupils, her stare was quite unnerving to some, and when coupled with her wild hair made her quite a striking figure along. The tresses only fell to about her shoulder, but the pattern bore a striking resemblance to a tiger's coat.

Her posture was self-assured, almost bored for the most part, though her eyes often worked to take into account as much of her surroundings as she could, constantly looking for an advantageous position in any situation to ensure she comes out on top.

Her garb was somewhat unique, in that she wore a rather close fit, flexible outfit that hugged somewhat to her curvature. She also carried a spare outfit in her backpack, made of looser materials when she anticipated needed to fight seriously.

Background:
Shakou can hardly remember the specifics of her early childhood, having lived as an orphan as long as she can remember. She managed to make her way in life through petty theft and cleverly scamming other children into doing things to either distract from her theft, or to pit others against themselves to avoid unwanted attention from either party.

She lived like this for several years, until she came across Gengoro, a Cleric of a mischievious Fox-God, who delighted in trickery. Sharing a similar trait, the ability to become an animal, Shakou and Gengoro struck up a trick to carry them through the rest of their lives. It was simple really. Shakou turned into her tigress form and terrorized the populace of a village, and Gengoro then 'frightened' her away from the village, saving them from 'certain' doom.

It went well for a number of years until recently they were found out but Cormondal authorities. It had seemed Shakou's story was drawing to a close, but the new Vashti stood in and offered to spare her and Gengoro's life if they would assist some group of adventurers in a task. Not thrilled at the prospect of working with strangers, but not really seeing another option, Shakou accepted... and that's where her story really begins...

Appearance:

The mystics backpack does not look especially full, and only one small but wide pouch adorns the back of his belt.
He wears some nice, tanned-leather gloves, well-worn black leather foot-gloves, plain brown trousers, and a dark green shirt that's covers his armor.

His hair is white and long, face half hidden in deep hood, rosy eyes watching with intensity world around.

Personality and Background:
Mystal Mar is born in the tribe of Susar, who live in the cloud forest upland regions where the braashak climbs the mountain borders with Denra-Lyr. The Susar are sometimes called Cloud or Mountain salsham'ai. They are similar to their lowland cousins except that they do not revere Themnass and Shroma but have a closer association with the smaller spirits. Mist spirits are very popular, coming at dawn to bring fertility to their mountain home. The Susar have also taken up the practice of terrace farming on the mountain slopes above the borders of the braashak. They have their own dialect, Susaran, related to Themnassic but distinct enough to cause misunderstanding. Nevertheless, relationships between Thalsan and Susar salsham'ai are cordial and fairly open."

Mystal grew up as part of small semi-nomadic community in far north of cloud forests on the mountains. He was marked from birth by his unusual skin by superstitious folk of his tribe. His parents however tried to instill into him peace of mind and strength of will to recognize such reactions as simple fear of unknown and to control his grief over this treatment. They tried to show him that by helping community he helps himself to survive regardless of the treatment he receives.

(He was later informed that was probably because his parents were traveling through mistmoor and were touched by mistwraiths.)

After some time he was apprenticed to tribe shaman, learning basics of spirit language and some focusing techniques that were supposed to aid him in meditation and communication with spirits. Problem with young Mystal however was that he lacked patience common to his people. He was more willing to take risks and experience spirit world directly then to patiently learn from his tutor until he is ready. After many exasperated tries, Deep Root gave up on young albino.

When a mystic warrior from the mountain visited the community for a week, the young Mystal , outcast because of his 'mist blessing' and later disgrace as lost shamanic student, took an interest in the man's stories and unusual tricks,
bugging him for a few days until the older man, Orlane, allowed Mystal to prove his worth as a student.
Mystal passed Orlane's tests of agility, cleverness, prudence, and basic swordsmanship, so the teenaged albino was accepted as an apprentice.
He followed the swordsman Orlane for several years, adopting part of his mentor's philosophy and discipline for himself, but preferring to continue pursuit of bright gold and rare treasures.

In time this lead to Orlane dismissing Shaddar as a student and he has wandered alone for many years since.

Mystal struggles to maintain the warrior's discipline that his mentor taught him, so he's usually honorable and reliable, though occasionally acting purely out of self-interest. He keeps to his word, but prefers not to promise anything in the first place. Greedy and proud of his talents, Mystal is always looking to acquire treasure and glory for himself, though he's willing to share some of it, thanks to the influence of his original community.

Because of this jadednesss he is seen as strange by his own race and those familiar with gentle ways of his people. Somewhat of his naivette stemming from living his early life high in the mountains isolated from the rest of the world still remains and he is amiable to new friendships altough rarely those result in deep bond.

Mystal is used to cooperating with other folks and prefers to work alongside other people who have skills that complement his own, but doesn't forge many long-term bonds. He doesn't concern himself much with the welfare of others, but will fight for them if he's getting paid for it and on rare occasions might even do so without payment.

Mystal likes to explore and wander from place to place, seeking new opportunities and only staying in one place for a few months at a time, as he figures that people who stay still never get to have any real fun or make any significant discoveries.

He's always searching for chances to advance himself.

Current life:
A bounty-hunter and explorer of ruins, Mystal has spent the past several years wandering the land in search of riches, fame, and secret lore.
Primarily motivated by greed and pride, Mystal has braved dangerous caves and catacombs on his own and alongside various temporary allies.
So far he's only managed to plunder a few minor magic items and a handful of old coins, and a little bit of old lore on new human and tlaxi fighting techniques,
to supplement what he learned from mountain swordsage in his youth.

His occasional partnerships with other adventurers have been brief, and only motivated by a mutal need for aid to obtain treasure from dangerous places.
Mystal desires personal power and glory, but struggles to reconcile those selfish goals with the more-communal greater good that his elders and parents had once tried to teach him.

For now, glory and wealth remain his immediate goals, along with the pursuit of secrets and special techniques to better achieve those goals.

Attacks:
Rapier +8 (+2 BAB +4 DEX +1 weapon focus +1 MW weapon); 1d4 -1 piercing; 18-20/x2

Winter

Hi! I'm a pale Bard who likes to read, carry heavy books
and heal the sick!

I type in blue.

Winter

Background

My first memory is of the frozen peaks, the gigantic mountains of the north. It’s of the cold winds and misty valleys, and like the mist the memories are fleeting and filled with uncertainty.

When I opened my eyes the sun shone through the puffy clouds and right into my eyes. It hurt. The people who had found me though, they thought I was dying from a cold. My pale, cold skin and dizziness made them rush to the Vashtis for learned help.

The following days saw the smiling face of the old Vashti in my room several times. The kind woman nursed me back to health with a few meals and one or two kind words. I didn’t have a cold, I was simply cold.

They called me Winter.

The Vashti thought I must have bumped my head or something, my memories were blurry. I started a new life at their monastery. Reading and contemplation stood in focus. I had an affinity for languages and studied those along with the craft of healing. My nimble fingers and quick mind made me a fast student. At first I was shy and uncertain; the books became my sole companions.

I found my purpose in traveling the countryside and helping the helpless. A curiosity awakened within me and I began to overcome my shyness. The nights went by with the soft tune of my flute. The peculiar rapier that had been found nearby me were probably not enough to discourage any bandits I encountered, but I had learned to say what people wanted to hear. That doesn’t mean I never got robbed, actually I had to go hungry for a lot of the time. Most villagers were happy to help me out though and I helped them in turn.

When the letter of the Vashtis passing got to me, I felt all alone again. Uncertain and unfamiliar I traveled back to pay my respects.

Description

Winter is a young man with pale complexion and icy blue eyes. He is thin and somewhat frail. His hair is almost silvery. He is only slightly above 5ft and could easily be taken for a teenager.

He is most often seen with wide beige robes over his shadowy armor, he has a sack slung over his shoulders with nightly necessities. Covered with simple silk scarves is his rapier. The rapier is set with silver and inlaid with pale pink gems.
