[Pathfinder] B6: The Veiled Society

[Rhun]

Still have a bit of coin to spend, some background/personality to flesh out, and a couple of spells to finish, but otherwise my PC is ready:


Celythia Andrenia, of Clan Callarii
Neutral Good Elf Female Wizard 2

Description
Celythia is tall, nearly six feet in hieght, with a slender, svelte build; she weights perhaps eight stone (115lb). She is beautiful, with finely chiseled features, a pert nose and full lips, though perhaps her most striking features are her brilliant scarlet hair and almond shapes eyes of violet hue. She dresses fashionably, and always wears a few items of gold and silver jewelry to accentuate her outfits.

Personality & Background
Celythia is still very young by elven standards. At barely 120 years of age, she finished her apprenticeship in record time. Upon completion of her training, her master, the great elven mage Vindathar the Wise, sent her to Specularum in Karameikos. He did not tell her why, only that the next stage of her magical development could be found within the great city.

Celythia hales from the Radlebb Woods of Karameikos, from one of the small Callarii villages.

OK, good to see the final PCs of the puzzle.

PF uses Combat Maneuvers for grapple and such, so you need CMB and CMD instead of grapple.

Theroc: no deity necessary. In Mystara, all known 'gods' used to be mortals. As an elf, you might have heard tales of revered ancestors who rose to Immortality many thousands of years ago.

Rhun: In the latest PF rules, an evoker gets Force Missile (1d4+evoker bonus damage, 3+Int mod / day, as magic missile), not Energy Ray. Other than that, as far as I see so far, looks good (so to speak). It looks like you can help the others get that wand.

That may actually change my choice of chosen school, then. What about Conjuration? Did they change that up?

 

[kinem]

You should read the wizard rules on the PRD.

None of them get at-will attacks anymore. I guess that seemed too good, compared to the other options, and stole too much thunder from a 1st level warlock.

Thanks for the link Kinem...I've been using the BETA, and it looks like some things changed. Let me read through and see what I can come up with. I guess I may have to purchase a bow for my PC after all.

Skills and Combat manuever info fixed, I think. Will try to make a fairly setting neutral biography(because finding info on Mystara via your link didn't work too well for me... kept finding rules info somehow.)

Appearance: Kynar looks somewhat like your typical elf, slender fair-skinned with slightly pointed ears. Adorning his frame is a breastplate of notable quality, along with somewhat elegant robes, crafted in such a way as to not get in the way when moving. He's rather handsome, though not in any real exotic way. He moves with great purpose, however. It is obvious he retained the Elven grace that his race was known for.

Background:
Kynar's childhood wasn't quite what one would expect for an elven child. Raised away from the forests and a large Elven dominated culture, he was raised around many humans. The city-like atmosphere was both good and bad for the boy. Some of the warriors he saw inspired him, causing him to frequently wear toy-armor which impeded his range of motion... but also drew jeers and mockery from his peers. This occasionally got the boy into fights... but also taught him the telltale signs.

There wasn't a great deal to note about his past, besides a love of practicing his swordplay and displaying his prowess, and a joy of crafting a beautiful weapon. He crafted his own weapons by preference, of course. He was, at his relatively young age, quite single. Of course, that is subject to change.

 

[kinem]

Character traits are more important than character background anyway, I think. Attitudes towards others, sense of humor, favorite activities, etc. Those things will come into play; details of your character's childhood probably will not. Certain outlines of his life do matter, such as whether he is single.

When I see a 3 page history of a new PC, it's impressive, but it is not that helpful during play I think. I'd rather see that stuff filled in with memories and flashbacks once you really know who your PC is from playing him for a while.

 

[Theroc]

Short bio and appearance edited in. Is that good, Kinem?

 

[Rhun]

I should have the last of Celythia's things finished up tonight and/or tomorrow night.

 

[kinem]

Theroc: OK.

Remember you are all 2nd level though; you have some experience and combat accomplishments. My default assumption is that the lot of you helped defend a town from goblin raiders.

Don't forget to post your PCs in the RG.

I guess we can get underway when Rhun is done.
