[QUOTE="Ghostknight, post: 1600485, member: 15338"] It does not really matter - but since you will be starting in the Empire (Unless everyone comes from Hosa), you would need a reason to be there - but it would explain why you are there with a body guard (if you and Goddess are linking back stories) I am happy with the UA variant - while you get the fighter feats, you don't have the HP, BAB and weapon proficiencies, but his is covered by extra skill points. It does make sense that a noble "rogue" would not use sneak attack (not necessarily wrong if just seen as getting attacks in to vulnerable locations/nerve junctions etc). But I would like to see some perform/craft skill as for any other noble - it would be part of your childhood education. Goddess- as for your concept - it is fine - "undercover" bodyguards fit in well to an oriental campaign, but would have a lower class background, so as not to be concerned with the lack of honor in hiding ones abilities, especially as a geisha. Also not that being a geisha is not a dshonourable thing. They are seen as fulfilling a necessary function in society - many noblemen would visit "Floating cities" regularly, even with their wives knowledge. A geisha is seen as an outlet where the man can reveal himself even in ways he could not to his wife. As such a geisha is trained as a conversationalist/comforter/poetess/artist etc to provide succour to her clients. As such to pose as a Geisha you would need a least surface knowledge of these aspects and courtly behavior. For all here is a new skill that is available to all characters as a class skill [B]Knowledge(Civilised behavior) (Intelligence)[/B] This skill covers the basics of how to act in society. It gives knowledge of the correct modes of dress/customs/behaviors for all daily behaviors. Synergy: +2 bonus to Knowledge(Local) if you posses five or more ranks in this skill. Knowledge (Local) provides a +2 synergy bonus to this skill if you possess five or more ranks. [/QUOTE]
