[QUOTE="Cyber-Dave, post: 7030165, member: 82132"] Hey, everyone. I built a "hex-skald": 4 levels hex-blade with a pact of the blade warlock, the rest taken as a bard from the college of whispers, Viking (Monshae Isles human) in descent, a drummer for dragon-boats in background (musical sailor homebrew) but also a raider (why he was on the boats in the first place), entertainer (what he would do in the Moonshaes when he wasn't raiding), and sometimes saboteur (because sneaking into a town as a musician during the day and opening the gates for your raiding party at night works). By the end of his career, he might take 2 levels in paladin (of conquest/treachery in concept, devoted to the Moonshae Isles pantheon)--not sure. Obviously, he is something of an "anti-hero" in concept. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, here you go: [ATTACH=CONFIG]81299._xfImport[/ATTACH] So, I am building his background, and I could use some feedback in terms of keeping the background logical and consistent. These are my choices so far: Dragon-Boat Drummer Skills: Athletics, Performance Tools: Navigator's Tools, Musical Instrument (Drums) Benefit: I can always find a place to perform, usually drumming tempo for a dragon-boat, but possibly in an inn or tavern, or even entertaining in a noble’s hall. At such a place, I receive free lodging and food of a modest or comfortable standard (depending on the quality of the establishment) as long as I perform each day or night. In addition, my performance makes me something of a local figure. When strangers recognize me in a location where I have performed, they typically take a liking to me (unless I have given them a reason not to). Looks good? [/QUOTE]
