Bio: Gornjoe was a dwarf who was born on the wrong side of the mine tracks. He got caught up in the petty life of crime. His teacher was his father, a petty criminal that knew the inside of Revarhold’s jail very well. [Sblock] His father was a lying back stabbing dwarven thief. He was bad through and through. He did not come from bad stock, in fact his parents (Gornjoe’s grandparents) where your typical hard working miners. Like a good son, he married a lady (Gornjoe’s mother) and tried to be a miner. But he was too lazy. He was always trying to gamble and get rich quick. Soon he thought that thievery was the best way to get money. He would rob anyway & anyone he could. One night he and a few comrades came upon some travelers. After killing them all they split the loot. One of the dead men had a ring. The leader tried the ring on, didn’t like it and just gave it to Gornjoe’s father as an add on treasure. Eventually, he determined what it was but never told anyone. Turned out, because of the powers, he was able to earn money by not eating. He told Gornjoe about the ring but left it at that. He had pawned the wedding ring so now this ring became his ‘wedding’ band. When asked that was what he called it. [/sblock]


His father thought that with the upcoming raid, he might be able to score some wealth. In trying to rob several humanoids, the father had the tables turned and the father was killed and Gornjoe was arrested and thrown in prison.

The Duke had decided to empty the prisons and use them as a way to fill his rank and file. Unfortunately there was but one soul in the prison.

Not having been down in the prison for a day, he was summoned to see Duke Ghenthar. He was given the choice fight or rot in jail. Gornjoe decided to fight, and than sworn to secrecy on his origins (jailed under suspicion of robbery), he was equipped from a public armory and put in with the other volunteers. Gornjoe asked for his father’s wedding ring. His father was in a pile that under normal times he would be interred at a pauper’s grave. He was taken to the burial site and he found his father amongst the other bodies. The smell of death was strong as the bodies where rotting in place. Rigor mortis had set in, so Gornjoe snapped his father’s finger off and he retrieved the ring. It was a ring of sustenance (2500gp). The broken finger was tossed on the pile. After walking a few feet, Gornjoe stopped and retrieved the finger, looked at it, and than stuck it into his pocket.

Appearance: Shabby clothed archer. Black uncombed hair and a black beard as well. Gray eyes and tan skin.

It looks like we've got our first complete character. Your Warrior Bard progression is right on, and the character looks fine as well. I do have one nitpick, however:

I'm fine with material from the non-core books I listed in post 1. However, if you're using something non-core, then label where it's from. For example, if you take Lingering Song (as Tobe did), then put [CAdv] next to it. It makes it much easier for me-I'll only have to look it up in one book, instead of guessing and checking every splatbook I own.

Rick: Go ahead and post the rest of your character (and don't forget to write out his appearance... I'd also like some idea of his personality-is Gornjoe a Robin Hood/steal from the rich and give to the poor kind of guy, or is he a greedy, scheming, backstabbing robber?).

Edit: I'll read through your sheet once you put it in my format (as in post 1) and decide the rest of your skills, languages, etc.

In light of Ranger Rick's character, I think I should ask something. You said "To account for the scarcity of magic items, I will allow up to one magic item per character, with a decent backstory for it." Did you mean that "Within your 2700gp of funds, you can purchase one magic item, as long as you make up a good story for where it came from." or, as Ranger Rick appears to think, did you mean "In ADDITION TO your 2700gp of funds..."

Edit: Also added the [CAdv] tag to my feat. Sorry 'bout that.
 

I definitely meant WITHIN your 2700 gp budget. I don't have a problem with almost all of one's wealth being in a magic item-if you want to try and get by as a rogue with only 200 gp to buy stuff, that's your choice. Me, I wouldn't get an item worth more than 2k-trying to buy all the necessary equipment for most characters on less than 700 probably will require some corner-cutting.

After some consideration, I'm not going to be allowing that Ring of Sustanence without a bit more thought put into it. How did Gornjoe's dad come to own something so rare and valuable (that might very well be the only Ring of Sustanence in existance... granted, there might be dozens or hundreds of them somewhere, but it's nevertheless very rare)? How did he get it from his dishonorably deceased father? Give me some more story.

Ferrix: come to think of it, I do have a copy of Races of Stone. *digs up, pages through* Hm, I don't have a problem with taking those. As for the Favored Soul/Sorcerer, I don't much like the 'Ill Omen' idea, as it doesn't really fit the flavor of magic for this. If you can come up with a mechanic for it, I'll consider it, but logically, someone considered cursed probably wouldn't be chosen for Ghenthar's task.

Good 'nuff, the ranger/fighter was my first idea anyways :)
 


Kerrz, I am under budget of 2,700gp I spent 130 gp on weapons and I had 30 gp to spend on misc. stuff.

Ringmereth,
I just did a better backstory on the ring. What are you looking for? I can add some more if you want.

I will reformat it soon.
 


How about -
Wayland Starseeker a half elf pargon/sorcerer who dreams of reclaiming his people's homeland.
He thinks of himself as an elf and heir to thier power and magics. His father took him from his human mother, and raised him. His father left town following the rumors of a gathering of elves. He has not been seen since.
For spells Im thinking Mount and Silent Image + cantrips.
Skills will mostly be social with fragments of lore (spellcraft,history,languages)
