[QUOTE="s/LaSH, post: 861140, member: 6929"] That depends on how you play the guitar. You wouldn't get any sort of bonus for the name (although if you want to attribute a high ability to intimidate people to the name, go right ahead - it's not the cause that matters, it's the effect). As a human, you don't have to buy any racial abilities unless you want to (and you can't under the demo anyway), so good choice there. As a bard-type character, I'd imagine you'd take high Appearance (to look cool) and high Presence (to captivate people's attention) attributes, and put as much skill as possible into Command or Command (Perform: Acoustic Guitar). With just those abilities, Andre would be very good at the following: - Distracting people, using his coolness to avoid damage and create openings in combat, and getting people to look at him. - Rousing the troops before battle and keeping them brave in the face of adversity. - Inspiring awe and fear in his foes, with a good chance of sending them running in terror or submitting to his will. - Playing the guitar. In addition, he'd probably be at least average in terms of fitness and intellect, making him not too slow, and capable of tending to wounds with a modicum of proficiency. I wouldn't classify Andre as front-line combatant, but he'd be capable of staying alive in a fight (for a while, anyway) and would be extremely useful in a support role thanks to his ability to remove fear in his comrades or inspire fear in his foes. Does this sound about what you had in mind?:D [/QUOTE]
