[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 3488472, member: 29014"] Okay, you want comments on flavour, right? I have a few mechanical notes as well: [SBLOCK=Tristan notes]First, this isn't a problem really, but I'll note that EWP in the Dueling Sabre is inefficient. Since you have proficiency in all martial weapons, the Weapon Familiarity feat from CW (makes all your racial exotic weapons martial for you) will give you EWP in Sabre and Cutlass for the price of one. Second, are you planning on ignoring any of the seven aspects of honour and having a Heroic flaw, or will Tristan be following them all? (technically you could also have a Notorious flaw and ignore two aspects of honour). Third, and this is a comment more than anything, the Rowaini worship Angels and Saints. Some worship both. Some worship one or the other and think that the people who worship the other kind are a bit heretical. By virtue of that last name there, which means "All Saints" in French, I'll assume your character's family mainly worships the saints. Finally, and just a minor note on a sidenote in the backstory--you have to be pretty gorgeous for higher lords from the most powerful families to be willing to marry down; 16 Cha doesn't cut it ;) (usually Cha needs to be 20+--14 is considered to be barely acceptable for lower nobility and anything below that will have trouble getting married amongst the nobility at all and may be left to die as a baby to avoid living a depressing life. This is because using the nonelite array of 13 12 11 10 9 8, the average noblewoman, the noblewoman will usually have Cha as the highest or second-highest stat as Cha, hence 17 or 16 is standard fare. It's interesting, really--Rowaini females have less of an Int penalty than the males, but the cultural and social tendencies of Rowaini sexist culture lead them to be likely to have their 8 or 9 in Int, while the noblemen tend to have 12 or 11, sometimes even 13, in Int, leading to a balance and even a slight advantage for the males) Anyways, other than that, looks good.[/SBLOCK] [/QUOTE]
