Aidan was actually partially inspired in my mind by Rand Al'Thor, from the Wheel of time.  >.>  Simple farmboy... who gets magic powers... yeah.  Not a particularly new thing, but one of my favorite archetypes, as it enables me to be ignorant of a setting and remain in character!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />One thing I was wondering, HM.  Could I sacrifice my familiar to instead maintain parts of Aidan's Monk abilities or something?  Familiars make me paranoid about getting pwned and losing levels because something nailed my 'weak link'.  Bit rambly as it's late.  I have both strong roleplaying tendencies and powergaming tendencies... so I am always trying to strike a balance.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />I'm also curious what advice Myth might have for me with constructing Aidan mechanically.</blockquote>
