Message: <blockquote data-quote="gabrion" data-source="post: 3787649" data-attributes="member: 30779">Ok with the go-ahead to pick up a martial stance, I'll officially throw my hat in the ring as a tank.  My current plan is a pure fighter (that bit could potentially change to include some psychic warrior and slayer, but I doubt it) bodyguard type.  Since any kind of traveling outside of the cities is dangerous, I see him as a sword for hire who travels with caravans or whatever to help keep them safe.  As an added bit of flavor, I'm guessing he will be an "anti-mage" type tank, with a certain amount of skepticism toward manifesters/casters.  Assuming this concept is fine with you, I'll write up a more detailed backstory as well as working on the crunch parts.Edit: I see you said that there isn't a lot of trade going on between cities.  I'm thinking then that this guy was one of the few who took up the profession that required traveling the wastes.  As a result his life was often threatened, both during travel, and by skeptical guards and inspectors at various cities.  Finally he gave up the job seeing it as not worth all the trouble, which could potential be how he ends up with the group (he's out of work and the hired sword/guide role is pretty much the only thing he knows).</blockquote>
