At this point I'm wavering between mercenary archer and Serious Scholar- it looks like we have enough melee types to make a monk superfluous.>Would this idea work for a possible character?A young scholar, raised mostly within the Church, she has always been interested in the history of magic; she is one of those who maintain the Church's library in the city where we are starting- the library where the Church stores many of the magical books that they have collected. It has been her job to review newly collected works, and to analyze and catalog them so that they can be properly stored (and secured, as necessary). Recently she has come across a slim volume written in an unknown script- sometimes the letters even seem to twist and shimmer. IT has, in fact, become an obsession- she swears she has put it down, or locked it away, only to find it in her bag. And she is beginning to understand the writing...>Mechanically, she is a Lore Bard with the Sage (librarian) background- she tends to look and act more like a cleric. But she is leaning towards becoming a Tome Warlock, using the mechanics for the Great Old Ones. Only in her case, her 'patron' is in fact a pre-Harrowing wizard (or possibly several of them)- he (they?) was not killed in the disaster, but was instead banished to some other realm/plane and desperately desires to return to this world. The book is a conduit, forged in the years since the Harrowing- and the goal is to increase the amount and power of arcane magic in the world, to the point where a "bridge" may be opened between worlds. The possibility that this might cause a repeat of the earlier disaster (or even something worse) is inconsequential to the mage (mages), warped as he has been by his exile and long imprisonment.</blockquote>
