[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 6435817, member: 4936"] Okay, first draft sheet, it's just the mechanics. Details of appearance, background, etc will go on the final draft. To sum it up, Nia is a support caster first, using her ranger abilities for primary offense. She's a good shot with her longbow, can use Shilleilegh and wild shape if things get up close and personal, and tends to save her spell slots for healing and debuffing enemies with Entangle and Faerie Fire. In situations where her bow doesn't cut it, she has Flaming Sphere (great for setting fire to enemy ships at close range) and Moonbeam (radiant damage is good vs undead, and it can expose shapeshifters, plus decent ongoing damage). In noncombat situations she can spam Guidence, and use Enhance Ability to give potent bonuses to ability checks; which she abuses heinously to inflate her skills as Sailing Master. Mirror Image offers good defense at any range, and Misty Step gives her a workaround for her lackluster Athletics bonus when boarding. :) On the ranger side, she has some pretty sweet bonuses; doubling her proficiency on any 'coast related' Int and Wis check, and gaining the Natural Explorer bennies on food gathering, navigation, etc. Quickleaf, I haven't decided on the magic item thing yet, but I'm leaning towards the '2 unidentified' item idea, just because I'm curious to see what you come up with for that eclectic and odd mix of items. :) [sblock][B]Nia Steeleyes[/B] [I]Neutral Good Human Druid 3/Ranger 1[/I] Background: Sailor Str 10 Dex 16 (+1 race) Con 14 Int 10 Wis 18 (+1 race, +1 feat) Cha 14 HP 32 AC 14 (11 + 3) Prof Bonus +2 Init +3 [B]Race: Human[/B] +1 Dex, +1 Wis Bonus Feat Bonus Trained skill [B]Class [/B] Druid Druidic Language Spellcasting Ritual Casting Wild Shape 2/short rest (up to CR 1/4) Circle of the Land - Coastal Terrain - Bonus cantrip - Spell Recovery (1/2 lvl in spell lvls/short rest) Ranger Favored Enemy (Adv on Wis checks to track and recall info, gain language) - Aberrations Natural Explorer (2x prof on Wis/Int checks related to terrain type, gain benefits when traveling through) - Coast [B]Proficiencies[/B] Armor: Light, Medium, shields (only nonmetal armor) Weapons: All Simple, All Martial Tools: Herbalism Kit, navigation tools, water vehicles Saves: Intelligence and Wisdom [B]Background[/B] Sailor Skills: Athletics, Perception Tools: Navigational tools, water vehicles Equipment: Belaying pin, 50 ft silk rope, common clothes, 10 gp, trinket) Feature: Shelter of the Faithful [B]Skills[/B] Athletics +2 Nature +6 Survival +6 Perception +6 Stealth +5 Insight +6 [B]Languages[/B] English, Something, Abyssal [B]Personality Trait:[/B] I do not suffer fools.
