Message: <blockquote data-quote="nonamazing" data-source="post: 3481036" data-attributes="member: 12118">I'll see if I can flesh out my character concept a bit more.  (I'm working under the assumption that Father Mikel is assembling this team in order to hunt down and fight monsters, probably in situations where bringing an entire army would be impractical or even impossible.)Vorelus Kraal was renown for his ability to make optimum use of the Icewood Provinces' somewhat limited resources.  He excelled at leading smaller groups of men, and his mastery of squad-level tactics was superb.  Despite his dour and often pessimistic outlook, Vorelus proved to have an uncanny--almost supernatural--ability to inspire his men to new heights, leading them to success against odds that were certainly not in their favor.Father Mikel realizes that the greatest fighters in the world are made much more powerful when they work together--the group he is assembling will maximize its effectiveness under the command of a strong leader.  And Vorelus, grizzled enough not to flinch away from the horrors of battle, might just be the right man for the job.As a Marshal, Vorelus would excel in a support capacity, making the other characters that much better at what they do (this was the main reason why I wanted to adapt the Song of the Heart feat, so that he would be particularly good at giving bonuses to the other players).      He would also probably have Improved Initiative, so that he can get a quick sense of the battlefield and take any possible advantage over his opponents.I'm brewing up a second concept, a "true monster hunter".  Ranger/Archivist, he would combine his favored enemy bonus with the dark knowledge ability of the archivist to be an expert at hunting, finding, and killing the things that should not be.  He'd also carry a bunch of specialized ammunition (alchemically treated bullets with various abilities such as flaming, frost, etc) as well as several extra guns (since it seems like a cool idea to me that the alchemically treated bullets would damage normal guns over time, just like the explosive rounds that we know of today).  Let me know if you'd like me to work on this concept a bit more.</blockquote>
