Message: <blockquote data-quote="BoldItalic" data-source="post: 6851923" data-attributes="member: 6777052">Fleshing out the PormantoesI've generated full character sheets for the four Portmantoes using my random-but-fairly-sensible software, and I've looked through them to see what might be relevant to role-playing the interactions, in the sense of providing fluff to incorporate into dialogues (as distinct from providing any direct mechanical benefit), to represent trying to make friends with the NPCs.Portia is Knowledge domain. As a cleric of Gond, Portia studies esoteric lore, collects old tomes, delves into the secret places of the earth and learns all she can. Seems ideal. It's quite fortuitous that she is the same domain as Sister Gertrude (it was random, honest) but it might help when talking to her. She has the Outlander background with the Wanderer trait. Portia has an excellent memory for maps and geography and can always recall the general layout of terrain, settlements and other features around her. Might be helpful if it extends to maps of dungeons and in talking to Fidget. She is superstitious about the number three, which is why the Port+Man+Toes had to include a fourth member (Castalot). She knows Suggestion as one of her domain spells, which might perhaps be used to turn around Jack Wallop if all else fails.Manfred is Battlemaster archetype so he is interested in weaponsmithing and as his Student of War feature he has proficiency with Smiths' Tools. This might be useful when talking to Ingot Firebrand. He has the Soldier background (he was a Shieldbearer in the Slaughterwood Regulars) which might help when talking to the Hammers, if any of them is an ex-soldier. He is proficient with Dragonchess, so he might offer to game his way into their favour (he has a Dragonchess set in his inventory).Threetoes surprised me by being an Arcane Trickster. Like Portia, he has the Outlander background with an interest in maps too. He might try to deceive Falsetto into thinking that he is in the Keepers of Forbidden Lore when in fact he isn't. He might try to steal resources using Mage Hand Legerdemain if he thinks he can get away with it. He knows the Illusory Script spell; there might be a creative way of using that. Basically, his best moves will involve deception, one way or another.Castalot is schooled in the art of eloquent flattery and he makes everyone he talks to feel like the most wonderful and important person in the world. However, he is acutely aware of his duty as a diviner and he will never tell a lie. He should definitely be the one to take the lead in making friends and influencing people. He has Locate Object prepared, which might be useful for something.I like semi-random characters. They suggest things I might not have thought of.</blockquote>
