[QUOTE="Lorthanoth, post: 3856652, member: 3023"] Hmm.. this is tricky.. all the concepts I'm coming up with have all been offered up as PCs... young female marshal, spiritual hunter etc... thinking cap on! OK, I'm tempted by a Bard/Adept or Rogue/Adept gestalt or maybe Warrior/Bard - Orephion isn't a spirit talker but he can charm the birds out of the trees and always has some poultice or other for a cut or sore (i.e. I'd go for a mix of his 'spells' being actual magical effects as well as 'head-ology'. He's always to be found where you don't expect him to be found; one day he will happen across a lambing ewe in trouble, and the next moment he will be making honey-cakes, or more likely trying to charm young Alistia into giving him some (cakes that is!). He is never without a story to tell, albeit one that is made up of the most outrageous lies regarding his achievements and exploits. Everyone knows of course that the stories are ridiculous which only makes them even funnier, and spurs Orephion on to add more and more bizarre details. His latest one for the children is how he found a girl asleep by the river who had a pair of goose's wings beside her - so of course he strapped the wings on and flew up to the moon. There he met the hare-king of the moon, who gave Orephion a crown made of wheat, making him prince of the moon. When he came down to earth, he found the girl had woken up, and was distraught to find her wings gone, without them she could no longer turn into a goose! When she saw the thief she made a switch of reeds and chased after him, and he threw the wings back and escaped. "And that, children, is why I haven't helped with any fishing lately, in case the goose-woman is there and gets me with that switch!" OK... kind of got too much into character there! Would you like some stats to go with that? [/QUOTE]
