[QUOTE="Psionicist, post: 37944, member: 1874"] >Beware. This is a bit messy with (I bet) some spelling errors.< Ah-hoy, hoy! Before we start a huge RttToEE campaign we will play a small "campain" for around 1-2 months or so, with new DM, new characters and new players (a simple player/DM swap). For your information, our "real" DM is Decamber who will host the elemental evil campaign later. The new DM is Kroax, our very own complete Forgotten Realms guru. He loves the D&D system and the FRCS so I bet this campaign will be more strict to the rules than what I'm used too ;) Anyhow, the character rules are as follows: 32 point buy and level 1 characters. The actual campaign will be set in Cormyr (i think) and it's generic, that is it's not based around our characters. As I'm generally full of ideas when it comes to character creation, I come up with this in a vain attempt to create a medieval "nerd": In short, he accidenlty got inside a VERY VERY large library (see other thread about libraries and books). I don't know which library he accidently walked into, but some ideas include Candlekeep, or even jucier, Candlekeeps "mirror" library or that secret library in... the mountains... something... its a huge library (see other thread). There are lots of more details but they aren't so important right now. This guy is deffenitely a Diviner wizard who will level up as loreseeker later, or is he? Some way, I want to squeze Bardic Knowledge in there. You do know LOTS of things if you have good memory and have read a one hundred thousand books (!), and I don't want to add some thousand knowledge skills, so either I make him Bard at first level or I slighly modify the Wizard class to fit my needs. Okay. Technically, he currently looks like this right now: Now I have a whole lots of quesions: 1) The easy one: How do I solve the Bardic Knowledge thing? And are there any feat that adds a massive bonus to bardic knowledge? I know the silverymoon feat Foclucan Bard adds a +4 bonus but background on the feat doesn't fit here. And I really do thinks it fits. He heas read books and books and books and journals and stories and biographys and that stuff for 60 years. He is a true sage god dammit :) So would it be unfair to just create a generic "+4 bardic knowledge" and give Merlin it? I don't think it would unbalance anything as he is a little shafted as is. 2) Any idea for spells when he levels up as a wizard? Or any idea related to the technical stuff? 3) Any interesting ideas for the story? As which library he found and things like that? Thanks! Sincerely, Psionicist [/QUOTE]
