Message: <blockquote data-quote="Badgerish" data-source="post: 5393795" data-attributes="member: 67906">So I'm Simon and currently playing "Rogar Riverborn", an Unaligned Halfling Ironsoul Monk and sling specialist.Group/Social notes:It's good to get back with this group again, had some good times in the past.  I thought I was overly-focused on recording and planning information until I gamed with Paul/Goonalan <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Mechanical notes:I'm enjoying playing my 1st monk, feels different from my other characters, which have tended towards defenders (mostly fighters).  I've built Rogar in a balanced fashion (I hope), both damaging, tough and covering the 'rogue' role on the side (at least, he will when he takes MC-Rogue at 2nd level)A key feat and inspiration for a good part of the character is the "Skipping Stone Flurry" feat; lets me use my flurry of blows up to range 10 (as long as I have a sling in-hand), letting me spread the love without surrounding myself with foes.  With this as my 1st feat, I've made slings a central part of the character (at least for now); certainly seems very a 'halfling' thing to do.Background/characterisation notes:Rogar is a young (17?) Halfling lad who has had an odd upbringing and now adventures to find his path in the world, and getting rich wouldn't hurt.He is dressed in rugged yet flexible black boots, black trousers, a white shirt and a back/brown waistcoat with many useful pockets.  His belt carries a dagger, sling and pouch of sling bullets, while there is another sling tied around his wrist, like a bracer.  When travelling, he wears a dark coloured, hooded traveler's cloak and a backpack.I won't go into his full background, but the short story is this:He was born to a family of Halfling river-boat traders.  He had a talent for psionics which manifested before he could even walk and troubled his parents due to his lack of control.  They took him (but left it a little late) to a monastery of psionic practitioners for training and left him there with nothing but his 1st name.  He grew up at the monastery, learning to channel and focus his powers into useful force, along with combat training and discussions of morality to help him choose when and how to use his power.  After his graduated from the monastery to started to travel the world, taking odd-jobs at 1st, then falling in with a criminal gang.  This ended badly and Rogar hurries on to escape from what happened.</blockquote>
