[QUOTE="DistractingFlare, post: 5940001, member: 86189"] Alright, boss. Here's my character sheet and background. I gotta say, this is one of my more impressive backgrounds IMO. I hereby present Tyrus Stormscour, Lawful Good Barbarian! [sblock=Background]Tyrus was born the son of a chieftain, but his life was never easy. As his people, the Children of Thunder, were slowly pushed from their ancestral lands by the incursion of the giantfolk, Tyrus’ father sent him on a mission far to the west. His journey was long and arduous; his mission, however, was simple. He was to acquire the blessing of a mighty primal spirit and use its power to defeat the giants once and for all. As the weeks passed and Tyrus pressed westward, he feared his search might be in vain. And then, amid the darkest forest he’d seen, as a thunderstorm gathered overhead, he saw a child sitting on a rocky ledge. “You need to go back now,” said the little boy. “They’ll always need you.” Lightning flashed, and when the spots faded from Tyrus’ eyes, the child was gone. “Could this,” he thought, “be the great storm spirit?” Then, almost as if in answer to the question, thunder boomed out across the land. “DOOM!” Tyrus turned and fled. He raced without stopping for days, resting only when he collapsed from exhaustion, only to pick up and race once more. And soon, he came to where his village had stood. Everything had been burned to the ground. Each hut, each thatched roof and wooden table had been reduced to cinders. Skeletons, the bleached bones of his family and friends, lay strewn about the place, twisted in the poses of their last agony. In the ashes, there stood a boy. “They still need you. I can hear them, you know.” And the boy was gone. Tyrus could not stop to question it, and hardly noticed at all, but it seemed as if the thunderheads accumulating over him were the very reflections of his anguish. Lightning danced across the sky, painting a jagged, visceral portrait of the guilt that charged his lungs. He buried his kin, then walked doggedly in the direction of the giants’ warrens. All Tyrus could hear, though, was the sound of thunder and a laughing boy in the distance.[/sblock] [sblock=Tyrus Stormscour CS] Tyrus Stormscour, level 12 Neutral Good Human, Barbarian, Death’s Thane Feral Might: Thunderborn Background: Heir to the Forgotten Gods (Religion class skill) FINAL ABILITY SCORES STR 21, CON 19, DEX 13, INT 11, WIS 11, CHA 11 STARTING ABILITY SCORES STR 18, CON 16, DEX 12, INT 10, WIS 10, CHA 10 Initiative: 6L + 1DEX + 4FEAT = 11 AC: 25 [10 + 6L + 1DEX + 3A + 3ENH] Fort: 29 [10 + 6L + 5STR + 2BARB + 1HUM + 2FEAT + 3ENH] Ref: 23 [10 + 6L + 1DEX + 1HUM + 2 FEAT + 3ENH] Will: 22 [10 + 6L + 0CHA + 1HUM + 2FEAT + 3ENH] HP: 110 Surges: 12 Surge Value: 27 Attack Workspace: 6L + 5STR + 2PROF + 3ENH + 2FEAT (+1 against bloodied target) = +18 Damage Workspace: 5STR + 3ENH + 2FEAT (+2 when charging, +3 vs. bloodied) = d12+10 TRAINED SKILLS Athletics +16, Endurance +15 (roll twice), Intimidate +22, Religion +11 Class Features Rampage Thunderborn Wrath Death’s Right Hand At-Will Howling Strike Recuperating Strike Howl of Fury Encounter 0.
