[QUOTE="pathfinderq1, post: 6960502, member: 48394"] Okay, here goes the next round. I'm down to two ideas at this point- I'll leave the Lovecraftian warlock and elven archer/archaeologist for the future. I'm going to post up what I have for the two finalists, in successive posts following this one, and I'll edit them in as I can- but I wanted to at least get SOMETHING up now, while I can. >Submission 1- AKA Holtzmann: Rock gnome female; Rogue 1/Cleric 1 (Knowledge)/Wizard 1 (Artificer); An accomplished alchemist, tinker, and scholar who is fascinated with magic, especially making things with magic. She will be using lots of rituals, rune, and magically-infused clockwork (more a Build Familiar than Find Familiar type). She is convinced that applying proper scientific principles can "fix" the dangers inherent in arcane magic. Yes, this is the one submission that has held up through this process, and normally that would have made my decision- but gnomes... There, I said it. I've never played a gnome, and I'm very leery of their reputation as silly. She is going to be curious and a bit offbeat, but definitely NOT silly... >Potential submission 2- AKA 'Better Call Thea': Half-elf female; Rogue 1 (more as 'Expert' than 'Criminal')/Bard 2 (Lore); the youngest daughter of an ambitious noble house, scholarly and musically gifted- she was sent abroad to a "real" university so that she could be a proper jewel to support her family's quest to join the true nobility. Unfortunately, while she was in school, her family's schemes collapsed, and the family fortune with them. Thea stayed at the university, but turned away from music and history, to instead study Law, politics, and Diplomacy.
