[QUOTE="Manzanita, post: 2793389, member: 10109"] [b]Julian Hemlock[/b] I've decided on an elven bard as my submission. I am considering changing him to a half elf to give him more class flexibility. Currently, I see him aspiring to Arcane Archer. It's possible the half elf might fit his background better as well. I see him as a diplomat, or ex-diplomat. Would there be an elven nation that would have diplomats in Sundaria? Or would a Sundarian diplomat be an elf (or halfelf?)? Would being an active diplomat make participating in the adventure a problem? Could he be assigned to be involved by his superiors? He would take speak language ranks in the languages he would be dealing in. These might include other human languages. Do you have any suggestions here? Any other feedback welcome as well. non-confidential Stats: [sblock] [CODE][B]Name:[/B]Julian Hemlock [B]Class:[/B] Bard 160 gp [B]Race:[/B] High Elf [B]Size:[/B] Medium [B]Gender:[/B] Male [B]Alignment:[/B] Neutral Good [B]Deity:[/B] [B]Str:[/B] 14 +2 [B]Level:[/B] 1 [B]XP:[/B] 0 [B]Dex:[/B] 17 +3 [B]BAB:[/B] +0 [B]HP:[/B] 7 (1d6+1) [B]Con:[/B] 13 +1 [B]Grapple:[/B] +2 [B]Dmg Red:[/B] 0/0 [B]Int:[/B] 14 +2 [B]Speed:[/B] 30' [B]Spell Res:[/B] 0 [B]Wis:[/B] 12 +1 [B]Init:[/B] +3 [B]Spell Save:[/B] +0 [B]Cha:[/B] 13 +1 [B]ACP:[/B] -2 [B]Spell Fail:[/B] 0% [B]Base Armor Shld Dex Size Nat Misc Total[/B] [B]Armor:[/B] 10 +3 +0 +3 +0 +0 +0 16 [B]Touch:[/B] 12 [B]Flatfooted:[/B] 14 [B]Base Mod Misc Total[/B] [B]Fort:[/B] 0 +1 +1 [B]Ref:[/B] 2 +3 +5 [B]Will:[/B] 2 +1 +3 [B]Weapon Attack Damage Critical[/B] Long bow +3 1d8 20x3 100' Long sword +2 1d8+3 19-20x2 [B]Languages:[/B] Common, elven, Sylvan, Dwarven, Gnome, Halfilng, orc, goblin [B]Abilities:[/B] Bardic music, bardic knowledge, countersong, fascinate, inspire courage +1 [B]Feats:[/B] Point Blank Shot [B]Skill Points:[/B] 32 [B]Max Ranks:[/B] 4/2 [B]Skills Ranks Mod Misc Total[/B] Balance 2 +3 +5 Bluff 4 +1 +5 Diplomacy 2 +1 +3 Gather Information 2 +1 - +3 Hide 2 +3 - +5 Knowledge (Geography) 1 +2 +3 Knowledge (History) 4 +2 +6 Knowledge (Nobility & Royalty) 4 +2 +6 Listen 1 +1 +2 +4 Perform (sing) 4 +1 +5 Sense Motive 4 +1 +5 Speak Languages(4) 4 NA [B]Equipment: Cost(gp) Weight(lbs)[/B] Studded Leather 25 20 Long Bow 75 3 20 arrows in quiver 1 3 Long sword 15 4 backpack 2 2 waterskin 1 4 signal whistle .8 0 3 days rations 1.5 3 empty sack .5 .1 50 feet silk rope 10 5 [B]Total Weight:[/B]44.5lb [B]Money:[/B] 28gp 6sp 0cp [B]Lgt Med Hvy Lift Push[/B] [B]Max Weight:[/B] 58 XXX XXX XXX XXX [b]Spells known[/b] (2 spells/day) Dancing Lights, message, Know Direction, Flare [B]Age:[/B] 125 [B]Height:[/B] 5'7" [B]Weight:[/B] 145lb [B]Eyes:[/B] Green [B]Hair:[/B] Wavy dark brown, down to his shoulders [B]Skin:[/B] light brown, smooth and clear[/CODE] [B]Appearance:[/B] Julian smiles easily.
