Alanna Morwyn

Alanna grew up in the moors and lochs of Thuria. The only daughter of a minor nobleman, Alanna wanted for little as a child.

The Morwyn family are local heroes and their ancestors were awarded their lands for leading an uprising against their former Tordorean rulers and for the protection of their lands from bandits and creatures of a less savory sort in the years after Thurian liberation. The Morwyn line has a strong sorcerous heritage. While none from this line have truly reached Wizard status it is not uncommon for relatives of Alanna to know a few spells or cantrips. This is true of Alanna’s parents who are both fairly accomplished mages.

Her families’ lands are small, encompassing Loch Shir and the misty hills and moors surrounding it. The hamlet of Lyningsgale rests on the northern shore of Loch Shir. This sleepy little town is a small rest stop on the southern trade route that houses an inn, general store and black smithy. The tavern regulars are local sheep farmers and hunters from the hills. Farmers from the outlaying moors are a common sight on weekends for the open market and festivals.

Her rural upbringing kept Alanna grounded. She never put herself above the local children even though she is of noble birth. It was not uncommon to see Alanna working and playing hand in hand with the other girls of Lyningsgale. Alanna was an adventurous child, never one for sitting in one place for very long. She spent many hours exploring the lands of her home, whether it was on her own or with the one of the local Shepard’s or shepardesses. While she practically drove her parents crazy with her disappearances and the lack of disciple when it came to her studies, she was incredibly handy with tools, and they found out, while scrying one of her many unauthorized outings, Alanna was a natural with the pistol.

Alanna was around 12 years old when she had run off with one of her friends, a local girl and shepardess named Megan. It was Megan’s first trip out alone with the family sheep and Alanna came along to keep her friend company. Alanna spotted a lone wolf that was stalking Megan’s sheep. Megan was terrified of the wolf and fired the pistol her father had loaned her to scare off the creature. She missed by a mile, the recoil surprised the poor girl and she dropped the pistol. The wolf, undaunted, continued his approach. Alanna swooped up the pistol, snatched the reload from Megan’s shaking hands, reloaded and fired.

Alanna seemed to gather the evening chill around her as she brought the gun to bear on the winter wolf. “Freeze!” she screamed, hoping by force of will she could get the animal to stay away. A crystal blue ray streaked from the muzzle of the pistol along with the icy bullet and slammed into the wolf, sending it to the ground.

Her parents were shocked and happy. Before this incident Alanna had shone no aptitude for magic, but here it was. Their daughter was a gun mage. It was almost unheard of in the family history. Most Morwyns were mages or sorcerers, but Alanna had always been different. It seemed to fit her well. Alanna’s parents allowed her to practice target shooting and some spellcraft under their watchful guidance, until they thought she was old enough to carry a gun herself. Alanna took what she had learned from her parents and apply it not only to her gun craft, but to her tinkering as well. She was ever trying to improve on things. When she wasn’t out shooting, you could find her trying to reinvent things to help the townsfolk.

At age 16 Alanna’s father began taking her away to court with him more often. Her years trekking around Loch Shir and the work she still liked to do around Lyningsgale gave Alanna the figure of an athlete. Her long blond hair, blue eyes and tanned complexion combined with the end of adolescence made Alanna almost an instant hit with the young nobleman at court. Alanna’s carefree and easy going country demeanor gave some young men the wrong impression, but when news that one young nobleman’s night ended with a pistol barrel shoved half way up his nose, most courtiers became extremely polite and courteous to the young lass from Loch Shir. It became fast apparent to Alanna that these trips to court had a purpose. She was very close to marriageable age and her father was looking for a suitable husband for her. This did not sit very well with Alanna and the ensuing fight with her father was said to be heard echoing across the Loch.

It only took a few “accidents” at court before Alanna’s father dropped the idea of marriage. Alanna spent a few more years at home before the Loch just got to small for her. Alanna’s trips to court had opened her eyes to the world and she wanted to see it. With her fathers permission Alanna signed up to attend Corvis University’s College of Engineering, to study Arcane Mechaniks. His parting gift to her was a beautifully crafted magelock pistol. It is her most cherished possession. She moved to Corvis two years ago and began her classes. It has been hard work for Alanna. She was never a good student, but her natural talent has helped keep her from failing out. Last year she helped defend her dormitory against one of the undead creatures let loose on the Longest Night. This brought her to the attention of professor Viktor Pendrake, a long time hero of hers. This semester when Viktor offered her a job working for him Alanna jumped at the chance. Not only would she be working for one of her heroes, it would get her away from some of her studies and hopefully get her some much needed excitement and exercise.

Alanna is 21 now. Her blonde hair is wavy and cut to just above shoulder length and her tanned complexion is a little paler now that she has to spend hours in study. While she remains in good shape, her time away from Loch Shir has given her a more curvaceous appearance as opposed to the wiry frame of a long distance runner. Alanna’s is still a carefree and generous young woman. She is friendly and outgoing with a mischievous glint to her blue eyes. In everyday ware she favors breeches and a bodice, opposed to a dress. Though like all young ladies she likes to dress up when she goes for a night out on the town. At all times she carries at least 2 pistols on her person, one of which is the magelock pistol her father gave her.

I'm afraid you're going to have to rework your skills, DrunkenMonkey. Since you don't have an Int bonus, your skills points would only be: 28 + 7 + 7 = 42. Sorry.

Otherwise the character looks great, though!

Description: Marthasa is a thin, frail looking woman with long, raven-black hair tied up into a braid.

Background: Raised in an aristocratic family, Marthasa heard the calling of Morrow early in her life. She joined the priesthood, much to her family's disappointment, and set out to learn the healing arts and aid all those who would be in need. She was asked by her priesthood to journey the land and further Morrow's cause. Her brother, instead of a gift, taught her what he felt was the most skill of all; proficiency in firearms. She is proud of her heritage though she is frequently scorned. She frequently takes her warhorse Morningstar on long rides through the country, just to get away from humanity and all their petty squabbles. She came to the University for the past two years, but her wandering soul is lacking patience.

Comments for Krug

Only a few things, Krug. Sorry to be so nitpicky, but there are a lot of little changes in the IK.

Race: Human (Umbrean)

I don't know if you have the stats for Umbreans from Lock & Load, but in case you don't here they are.

Umbrean
Automatic class skill: Knowledge (history)
Skill bonuses: +2 racial bonus to Ride and Spot checks
Social flaw: Jingoistic (optional)
Base Height: Female 4' 9" (+2d10 in.)
Base Weight: Female 100 lbs. (+ height mod. x 2d4 lbs.)
Automatic Languages: Cygnaran (spoken), Khadoran (spoken), Llaelese
Bonus Languages: Cygnaran (written), Khadoran (written), Khurzic, Rhulic (spoken).

The jingoistic is a social flaw that you can choose to take, if you'd like to play that kind of character. It means that your cultural attitude impairs your social dealings with people who are a different ethnicity from you. It represents a type of extreme patriotism such that members of foreign kingdoms are treated with disdain, scorn, or even outright hatred. Jingoistic social gaffs are usually intentional. In game terms, it inflicts a -2 penalty to all Bluff, Diplomacy, Gather Information ans Sense Motive checks when dealing with other ethnicities. As I've stated, it's optional, not everybody is the same.

Re languages, the language everyone else will be speaking is Cygnaran. Khurzic is the ancient language of the Khards, and Rhulic is the language of the dwarves.

Re armor, note that since a chain shirt is considered light armor, you could wear a greatcoat over it.

HP: 20

With your Con only being 10 now, you're hit pionts would be 19 (8 + 5.5 + 5.5).

Deity: Morrow (Ascendant Ellena)

Are you sure you wanted Ellena, the patron ascendant of travelers and adventurers? In the last post of the character you had chosen Solovin, the patron of healers, battle chaplains, and midwives. Not that you couldn't switch to Ellena. I was just checking.

Spells: Domains - Healing, Travel

The domain spells for the Travel domain have changed slightly. They are now 1-Longstrider, 2-Bear's Endurance. This may change your spell selection.

Speed: 20'

Wearing light armor, your speed would be 30'.

Commens for Slippshade

[Hit Points: 16 (3d6+3)

Actually, due to my arcane method of deciding on hit points you would get 6 + 4.5 + 4.5 + 3 = 18 hp!

Armor Class:14 (Leather Armor and Armored Greatcoat)

Actually, with you Dex of 12, you should have AC 15 (10 + 2 + 2 + 1). Remember that although you have light and medium armor proficiency, any arcane mechanik spell which has somantic components is subject to spell failure. Gun mage spells are not subject to ASF.

Spellcraft 4/+6

Actually, your Thurian heritage gives you a +2 racial bonus to both Diplomacy and Spellcraft, so the total bonus would be +8.

Spells: Arcane Mechanik

According to p. 93 of the IKCG, 1st level Arcane Mechanics starts with knowing five 0-level spells plus one 0-level for each point of his Int mod. He would not know any first level spells at this point.

Class Features:
Gun Mage: Bonded With Pistol (Alertness, Spell Link)
Arcane Focus

As a 2nd-level gun mage, he would also get the Reinforcing Runes class ability.

Languages: Cygnaran (spoken and written)

As a Thurian you would get Cyganra, and Ordic (spoken) as your automatic languages. You could pick your two bonus languages from the following list: Caspian, Khadoran, Khurzic, Llaelese, Ordic (written).

Harlan Baylentis

Description:
Harlan is a rough young man from Caspia. In his 22 years he has seen and learned many things. His father, a rifleman of the famed 53rd Cygnarian Battalion, wanted him to have a career with Cygnar's finest, but his mother refused. Not that he was around enough to make that decision for him. No, his mother, a woman of letters, and clerk in a small, but noted library, insisted that Harlan, despite his affinity for the outdoors, keep his nose in the books and earn entry to Corvis University. Though not the brightest pupil in his local school, Harlan was a hard worker, and with his mother's influence at her "alma mater", he was accepted to the University in his late teens.

But Harlan's father would always come home from his tours, brandishing shining weapons, and telling tales of high adventure. Harlan ate it up. Despite his mother's wishes, he would go out shooting with his father on holidays, and practice his fencing in the alley behind their house. Still, being his mother's son, Harlan had a good memory, and some skill with letters. But it was his father, and his army friends, that brought him into the fold of one Professor Viktor Pendrake.....

Comments for taitzu52

Hit Points: 28 (3d10+6)

Hits points are actually 10 + 6.5 + 6.5 + 6 = 29.

Flatfooted: 15

Flatfooted AC just excludes your Dex bonus, which would mean it would be 16.

Languages: Cygnaren (spoken and written), Khadoran (spoken and written)

Khadoran is only a bonus language if you're Sulese. As a Caspian, your bonus languages are Llaelese, and Ordic.

Reinforced Greatcoat (60gp) 10lbs

Reinforced greatcoats cost only 35 gp and weight 7 lbs.

That's it!

 

[Slippshade]

Equipment and updated per Blue.

Blue: Yes, I know that the Arcane Mechanik spells will be subject to spell failure. I will risk it

Question: If I added Incendiary rounds to a Radliffe Quad-Iron Pistol would the damage be 4d4 +4d6 flame. If the answer is yes, I may change one of my firearms.
