[QUOTE="airwalkrr, post: 6694768, member: 12460"] Everything looks good on the stat block from what I can tell. I do not see the need to swap Perception in for Religion. It does not seem to fit the background of the character as you have described it. Perhaps you are thinking of Investigation, which is more along the lines of research. Even still, it would seem to me that based on the description you provided, Religion is a natural fit for this character. Just because he has studied Religion does not mean he has found what he has been looking for. In fact, it might make further quest for enlightenment all the more vital. "More knowledge leads to more questions." A character with Perception by contrast might have training as a scout, hawker, spy, or look-out. From what I have read, however, Religion seems a perfect fit for the character. Perhaps you would like to customize the background a bit and develop the idea further. Let us take a page from the book and ask these questions: what was the reason for your character's isolation, and what changed to allow him to end his solitude? Beyond that, what did he do while living as a hermit? You might also want to take a look at the section under Other Hermits on page 135. Maybe another background would fit what you have in mind better. I will review [MENTION=8858]hafrogman[/MENTION]'s wizard next. [/QUOTE]
