Grim Tales - 'Chronicles of the Witch Hunter'

[scranford]

Dervish (Background)

Karl,
Here are the basics from a "Dervish" basic profession, I found on the web for the warhammer world. I will be basing the character loosely on this concept, so thought I'd give you the basics with their d20 conversion.

WS +10
T +1
W +2
I +10
A +1
Dex +10
Cl +10
WP +10

A Dervish is an Arabian, usually a bedouin, who is so endowed with righteous might from his god, that he seeks out this career. Dervishes are Arabians full of religious Zeal, who spend their time dancing and singing rituals, and fighting for the glory of their God*.

Skills
Dance/ Perform (Dance)
Dodge Blow/ Dodge (Feat)
Frenzied Attack/ Rage (Tough Talent)
Muscianship/ Profession (Musician)**
Sing/ Perform (Sing)
Strike Mighty Blow/ Power Attack (Feat)

Trappings
Daggers
Musical Instrument
Flowing Black Robes
Religious Symbol
Sword/ Masterwork 2H Scimitar***

* The god I've chosen from an Internet list is Ben-Moshar, God of Death, whom is believed to be an aspect of Morr. He is the most powerful of the Araby Pantheon.
**Not just performing music, but writing, conducting and arranging music, much like a conductor or composer instead of just a musician.
*** From your notes on character concept.

I'll post the character later today, as I am almost finished.

Kewl... for you they might add a swearing to Morr/Ben-Moshar (although some of the Knights might be uncomfortable with that heathen name been spoken in their wall ) there are all kinds of different people within the Order of the Knights Panther (they take nobles, and criminals)

 

[scranford]

Karl,
He truely means his vow to the Knights Panther. As long as it dosen't conflict with his vow to Ben-Moshar (Which superseds the Panther Vow) there will be no problem... and I know you would never bring this conflict to the fore-front ....

He has decided to remain in the Empire instead of returning to Araby. Perhaps this is why he was imprisoned, for refusing to leave the area, so thrown in for either some trumped up charge, or a "misunderstanding" in a local tavern with the boys. Maybe membership in a local organization will grant him a measure of acceptance.

Regardless Ben-Moshar spoke to him in a dream, and made it clear his purpose in life was to remain hear and help those less fortunate to understand the truth. Perhaps this is the beginning of this duty.

If the tulwar is 1-10, 18-20, x2, it better be an Exotic Weapon. (And size L.)

If the tulwar is 1-10, 18-20, x2, it better be an Exotic Weapon. (And size L.)

Hmm that is something to consider... hmmm, do you think the d8 (2H) would not to exotic?? I was looking at it like a Scimitar, which is not exotic, does one less die type then a long sword, and I was thinking of the two-handed sword

 

[scranford]

Tulwar (Exotic Weapon)

The Bastard Sword is only an exotic weapon if use in one hand. Since I use the Tulwar in two hands I don't see the need for this to be an exotic weapon, but I may be wrong. If thats the case I'll just take the bastard sword, but I think it takes away a bit from the atmosphere. (Or I could take exotic weapon proficiency, and use a shield, this will only slow the progression a bit....ie no dodge yet.

[Karl Green]

Looks cool... I think I will go with the Tulwar not require EWP, just because of the scimitar/longsword vs. tulwar/two-handed sword

Oh note there are no Alignments in G.T. so you take Allegiancies. I totally could see his as Law and Ben Moshar

Alliance: Friends, Empire, Order of the Knights Panther

Background: Grimmor Rockfist was a tough-headed dwarf who decided to earn his wealth as an imperial soldier, just like his cousin Marvie, since he had little interest as a forger. His skill with the axe allowed him some respect amongst his fellow soldiers.

However, his officer Reckham, whom he never got along with, sold off the ragtag bunch of soldiers to a bunch of Beastmen who were ready to sacrifice the soldiers to Khorne, and all others in Grimmor's company were slain except for him. After resting, he eventually found Reckham drinking at a bar, and promptly seperated the officer from his head. It took four guards to take him down, where he awaited to be hung or torn apart by horses. Getting 'pardoned' was certainly an act he was surprised at, but he's glad to be reunited with his axe Gnasher. He's still wondering what in the heck is a panther.

Description: Battle-scarred and blackfaced, one eye is almost shut, the result of a brawl with a half-ogre. His clothes smell badly of ale. His beard and hair dart all over the face, stuck in a perpetual mess.

Behaviour: Grimmor, like his name, is a grimy individual. He's started many a brawl and been involved in a number of fights; he's already been banned in a number of bars. He doesn't think of himself as a hero, merely a warrior.

Grimmor Rockfist

He looks great, just one little problem that I saw... Def would be 17/19 because the Chainmail only give +3 to AC/Def bonus (and 2DR)
