Message: <blockquote data-quote="anonystu" data-source="post: 772461" data-attributes="member: 10897">(edit: realized I missed the easy fight club reference. Shame on me. Now fixed.)Sounds fine, DE, but just to note that telling your parents, while a perfectly plausible thing, is a severe no-no: <insert easy fight club reference>Journalists picked tend to be loners, but occasionally, the person with the right attitude/abilities is picked with attachments (having an SO is an interesting background to take). Occasionally, to minimize the security risk, those attachments are sort of folded into the organization (making pairs of SO's a bit common, and making people meeting on the job even more common, although these relationships tend to be anything but healthy).Journalists occasionally undergo random loyalty screening (which mimics the process for being selected in the first place): this involves submitting to a full mind search. It's possible you could be inbetween mind searches, and it slipped out, but you could also revise into: you were expected to be another X in a long life of X's, but instead you've disappointed your parents severely by (running away to the city/hanging with floozies, working in bad occupation Y).Sixchan, I think some form of rogue would be a great choice. I think you'd avoid invading niches too heavily if you were had both the face and dexterous elements, as nobody in the party quite has that down yet. Having invisibility through either Kal's character or through your own abilities is good.It should be noted that you're strong on manipulation and magic, middling on intrusion and stealth, and absolutely poor on combat and healing. Being poor on combat is acceptable: while groups of 5th level journalists can easily take groups of city guards: it tends to attract a lot of attention, and specifically the attention of the elite group of guards, who are beyond your capabilities. That said, you are in a very conflictual job.Being poor on healing is a bit more dangerous, but you can compensate with magic items.</blockquote>
