He could work as a rogue/ wizard come to think of it. might even work better. Isnt there a prestige class that is a religious wizard in the service of his faith? forgot the name of it, but it was in the Forgotten Realms book....

.... and we need magical support.....
 

Actually, two wizards (or combo wizards) might not be bad, especially given the sheer number of spells and schools available.

Gonna have to check the books when I get home tonight.
 

Two Wizards would be fine.. especially since the character I made is more of an illusionist who disdains the use of fireballs, magic missles, and lightning bolts.

I guess I'll abandon my other idea for a character... someone can take it: A Half-Orc Barbarian 1/Druid 6. He flies into a rage every time he sees someone stepping on flowers.

Good suggestions by Mahiro (welcome to the group ... my name's Dave, by the way). A level of Rogue might be fun.

Matt -- what's up with disciples of Mystra (goddess of magic in FRCS)? Anything cool in that book of yours?
 

Character Backgroud Story

Mahiro Satsu was a character that i was thinking of adapting to forgotten realms, but i decided that this one is better. His name is Aoth Spret from Mulhorand. He is a rogue 3/wizard 3/ ranger 1 and will add Divine Seeker classes soon.

Aoth was orphaned at a young age and was raised in a small temple of Osiris in Skuld. The Clerics soon started using him as a spy to infiltrate rival temples and learn their secrets. Part of his upbringing included an education that must lower class citizens do not receive. When he was old enough he began to scout for the army and learned that slavery was not a universal system. Disgusted by the system he left Skuld in a boat bound for the heartlands. His goal was to offer his scouting abilities in either Cormyr, but he soon ran low on funds and took a job with a merchant caravan in Sembia. His runs took him from Dearlun to Ordulan. One day, his employer took a special commission to Eveningstar, delivering some spices and books to Lady Winter. The caravan was attacked and his employer killed a few miles outside the city.

Aoth is a pious man and prays four times a day; dawn, noon, dusk, and before he sleeps, to Osiris. He still carries and occasionally uses the sickle that his benefactors in the temple gave to him for his service. They are still on good terms and Aoth occasionally writes to his favorite cleric, Hahpet. Hahpet keeps trying to get Aoth to return home and take up a job with the church, so it is possible that if things get too rough he may return home.

That's just perfect...it really brings into focus the fact that the northlands of Cormyr are still an incredibly chaotic and destabilized area following the Ghazneth War of last year. The Devil Dragon, Nalavarathanatoryl, caused massive amounts of damage with the help of her goblin army, and the Forest Kingdom has yet to recover. Of course, the Company of the Coin could have done something about that, but they chose to be Champions of Selune and run off to some lost underground city (where most citizens of Eveningstar believed they found death, or worse, until their eventual and triumphant return). ;)

The fact remains that the north of Cormyr, despite Myrmeen Lhal's attempts to rebuild the city of Arabel, is sliding steadily downward into a state of anarchy. The recent seizure of power in Eveningstar by the military hasn't helped...if anything, the citizens are less confident than ever before...and now there are murderous wild elves stalking the land as well...
 


Not everyone is convinced about the rumor about those wild elves, but no one has come through Hullack Forest recently to check. The people are on edge, partly due to the revelations by the Champions of Selune as to the exact nature of their former ruler, Lady Tessaril Winter, and due to continuing raids by goblins and kobolds (more successfully prevented by the Purple Dragons since the change of leadership).

Only Cara of the Champions actually spent the Winter in Eveningstar--Velm took Saeita with him to Thunderstone to be revived, since no one around Eveningstar would undertake the task, Van took a trip to inform the Selune clerics of Daziel's semi-successful mission, and the others...well, rest their souls.
 

Character Advise

Who should Aoth take as his chosen enemy? I was thinking that agents of the church of mask would be appropriate due to his work as an Osirian agent, but may not be very handy in the campaign. any thoughts would be helpful...

What is the nature of Lady Winter? I must not be informed...
