With the whopping +4 Cha bonus that Midnight gnomes get he's got Cha 20 as a first level character <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> However due to the limits on spellcasting in the setting he also has little in the way of blasty magic (he has access to spells from the Universal, Transmutation and Lesser Conjuration schools in the setting, and has as his 1st level spells Cure Light Wounds, Entangle and Magic Weapon). Next school I intend to access is Illusion for some rather handy spells in that school.Fact is, at the moment his only direct damage spell is Acid Splash. But the bardic-music-like ability that the charisma-based channeller has will hopefully make up for that and let him still play a useful role in combats. Being the only spellcaster in the party so far (consisting also of a barbarian, a rogue, two defenders and a wildlander) and also the only healer means he will hopefully also be well protected by the rest of the band!Character-wsie, he's thus far a kinda 'front man' for a gnome group; he's not up to much as a sailor so when it comes to nautical matters on the vessels that the gnomes in Midnight travel around in, he's just a deckhand. But his huge Charisma, and high diplomacy and bluff skill ranks, means he's excellent at haggling etc - and the bonus to Appraise from his raven familiar further helps. His heroic path is Seer - he's a charismatic, friendly fellow with a hint of otherworldliness and wisdom about him, and has a fair few tricks up his sleeve <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />But he isn't really much like any gnomes I usually see played. He's no tinker gnome or some such silliness.</blockquote>
