A "character driven" FR campaign.

Well, bards do have speak language as a class skill, so it's less useful for them I'd say, but it still frees you up a skill point per level after the feat.

Aye, I agree, but it does give her more languages than I would have given her and some of the bard’s abilities are language dependant.

I think it should be fine, and with all the people traveling through Waterdeep, I doubt there is any shortage of people to learn new languages from.

I agree with this too.

How are we doing HP anyhow? (1/2 or 3/4 after fist level?)

 

[Ion]

max HP at 1st level sound, with 75% rounded up for each hit dice after that.

oops. I guess she had double digit HPs at level four then.

Ion,

Hey, I think I fixed alot of my portable library issue. I’ll assume you’ll humor me by letting me explain.

Using the normal 150% cost increase of combined items I came up with a Heward’s Haversack/Possum Pouch.

In case the items aren’t familiar:

Heward’s Handy Haversack: A backpack of this sort appears to be well made, well used, and quite ordinary. It is constructed of finely tanned leather, and the straps have brass hardware and buckles. It has two side pouches, each of which appears large enough to hold about a quart of material. In fact, each is like a bag of holding and can actually hold material of as much as 2 cubic feet in volume or 20 pounds in weight. The large central portion of the pack can contain up to 8 cubic feet or 80 pounds of material. Even when so filled, the backpack always weighs only 5 pounds.
While such storage is useful enough, the pack has an even greater power in addition. When the wearer reaches into it for a specific item, that item is always on top. Thus, no digging around and fumbling is ever necessary to find what a haversack contains. Retrieving any specific item from a haversack is a move action, but it does not provoke the attacks of opportunity that retrieving a stored item usually does.
Moderate conjuration; CL 9th; Craft Wondrous Item, secret chest; Price 2,000 gp; Weight 5 lb.

Possum Pouch: Also known as a false stomach, a possum pouch is a small, flat, circular bag about 10 to 12 inches in diameter and up to 2 inches thick. When placed against a humanoid's abdomen and sealed there with a command word, it blends in unobtrusively with the surrounding skin, requiring a DC 30 Search check to detect. Spies and couriers find these items useful as diplomatic pouches, while nobles and wealthy merchants sometimes use them as money belts. Assassins, ninjas and sneak thieves love possum pouches because they make it easy to smuggle poison, daggers, and small valuables into or out of well-guarded houses.
Faint illusion; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, disguise self Price 1,800 gp; Weight 1 lb.

Anyhow, I see the item in question having the outside shape and functionality of a Possum Pouch that’s a little bit bigger in size (12 x 6; for really thick books, let me know if it needs to be bigger) while internally it has the three pouches in one for a 12 cubic feet pouch that can hold 120 lbs. (It also weighs 5 pounds at all times and produces the item she thinks about. Is that cool?

Cost should be 4,700 gps.

 

[Ion]

So this Possum Pouch of Holding requires a DC30 search check to detect, holds 120lbs of stuff, and is most importantly self sorting?

Yea, that's probably ok for 4700gp.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Cool. I will be done with mechanics by the end of the night then.

Ion,

Okay I have Meadowbrook done and posted in the RG thread. When I say done, I mean she has the equipment that she would probably have on her in a normal day in Waterdeep. If she's doing any overland travel she would buy food and other required gear before hand.

I have a healer (miniature handbook core class) in another game that I think could kick her ass but oh well this will be fun!

I made a mistake on the Ray of Enfeeblement. It's a wizard only spell so I gave her charm person, which admittedly does make sense for a defensively challenged young woman.

I still owe you a lot of stuff for the 36 Point Buy and I will get it done. (and soon)

Oh, I found a picture for her... but I'm not sure I like it. I do but I don't so it might change.

 

[Ion]

Brain over braun and the pen is mighter than the sword and all that.

I like the history so far, it seems fairly comprehensive, and I'm interested to hear more about the people in it. I'd have never even considered someone like Katrina, I think she makes a nice addition.

The thing I like most though, is the moral struggle. "I like to love people, but I'm smart enough to know I'm fickle enough to hurt people...oh what to do what to do?"

That in itself could be reason enough to leave town, to go "find yourself" or something.

 

[Ion]

With regards to the picture, I can see why you might have torn opinions on it. I personally picture nymphs a little "softer" somehow....

Just to throw a couple more pictures I've found on epilogue.net at you.

"elven dancer" or prehaps more along your original line of thought (minus the rapier...) "rinael"
