"Under cover of Darkness" - the (un)official Hivemind Slash!

Travelling Merchant? Traveling Sage?

Traveling sage is interesting.. How would one BS this?

[Knight Otu]

Are you worried more about the knowledge aspect or the appearance aspect?

 

[Kemrain]

Are you worried more about the knowledge aspect or the appearance aspect?

Well, yes.

I'd need to be able to pull it off wenn enough to fool people without relying on a +16 bluff.

Grrr. Why do people always answer "Yes" or "No" to an "Or" question?

I take that as both.
Appearance: Are there some symbols commonly associated with sages or wisdom? A staff of a certain form, a certain style of clothing? A style of grooming?

Knowledge: Do the two of you have many knowledge skills? Direct experience with events a traveling sage would know about?
You mentioned a telepathic link. Does it have a limited range? Do you not share many knowledge or similar sagely skills? Could the link be used to pass information as needed?

BEcause we hate you? <shrug>

I take that as both.

As it was intended.

Appearance: Are there some symbols commonly associated with sages or wisdom? A staff of a certain form, a certain style of clothing? A style of grooming?

Not that I know of.. Possibly the whole robes and staff schtick, but, most Sages I know of are homebodies.

Knowledge: Do the two of you have many knowledge skills? Direct experience with events a traveling sage would know about?

I kave plenty of Knowledge Religion, a +5 modifier to Knowldge Nature with 0 ranks, a little Knowldge Arcana, and a rank in Knowledge: Hell. So, uh, no, not really.

You mentioned a telepathic link. Does it have a limited range? Do you not share many knowledge or similar sagely skills? Could the link be used to pass information as needed?

As I mentioned before, it has a range of "On the same plane", so, we can talk anywhere. The problem is that she has Knowledge Arcana, and not much else. she isn't terribly well educated, unfortunately.

This isn't the Ask Brain thread.

I guess a clichee is better than nothing...

I guess the best that might allow would be a young herbalist trying to broaden his horizon. Would that be feasable? Or maybe a ranger?

But your knowledge would help her play the role, right?

Actually.. the Ranger idea is a GREAT one! Better than the sage. Way better.

[Knight Otu]

So, how many personas (personae?) have we added?

 

[Kemrain]

On the personae front, thus far I've come up with a few..

A priestess of Alerum, hopefully to be trusted by strangers.

A paladin of Alerum, useful as a roaming authority figure. Hope no one else detects Evil, though.

Garyn Corinth, Melissa and Kara's made up 'husband', for situations where two married women would be a social faux pas(sp?).

An entertainer, singer and dancer(Non-Erotic), who can be used to legally gather information and get such amenities as free room and board.

Any more that can be come up with?

- Kemrain the Diverse.

To this we can add the Ranger idea. Good thought.

- Kemrain the Incomplete.
