So, let's say Jotunn had a falling out with his father and left for human lands to set up a smithy. He's now working in Hockenbacher, barely making ends meet, and frankly quite unsatisfied with his lot in life. He has too much pride to go back to Karaz-A-Karak, though, so he works hard to eek out a meek existence.

That sound okay with you, Dragoon?
 

Hans probably wandered into Hockenbacher a few days, perhaps a week ago looking for work. He found a tavern instead. After making some inappropriate moves towards one of the barmaids followed by a brawl that saw him getting arrested for destruction of property and public drunkenness he found himself locked up. From here there are two options.

1) he swallowed his gold crowns and is being held in the lockup until the authorities decide what to do with him (say go kill those goblins and we'll drop the charges)

2) he paid his fine and is just getting released as the game starts.
 

I think I speak for all of us when I say if Hans goes with option number one, he can be safe in the knowledge none of us will be borrowing any crowns from him for some time.

Felix grew up on a Cattle Farm outside Talabacland. He learned a few tricks about riding horses living on the farm, and picked up a few tricks with the sword from his reitred Marine Uncle. He was the county champion three years running for roping calves at the local faire.

When the family farm was sold to pay of the taxman, Felix put his horsemanship, outdoor skills, and finely honed senses to work as an outrider. On this fateful day he had just spent most of his funds to have his saddle and Tack repaired and to reshoe his fine horse Gus. He has been relaxing in Hockenbacher, staying at an aquaintances house for the past two days, and since Gus will be ready tomorrow, he is thinking its time to move on and find another scouting job.

Felix's comments will be posted in yellow

Sorry. Don't know how to keep the formatting. Is anyone else having trouble subscribing to this thread?

Let's go with option 1, Baron Karl just happens to be looking for some conscripts, plus you don't have to worry about people wanting gold crowns from ya! :p
 

Scranford:
Formatted your stats for you if you want. If you want them on your character just copy paste the stat blocks then edit it into your post. the most important part is the {code} tags.

Okay, I think we are good to go.

Just a few other matters of note, for this we will use the advanced armor rules, and declining accuracy for extra attacks that you may receive later.

All the characters look good, I just noticed a few small things, they are all pretty trivial.

Asmor, for you PC, the Int adv should be +5% not in Fel (I think you just have a format error).
Also it looks like you didn't choose between two talents yet; Very Resilient or Warrior Born.

ObiAndy, You also receive, Common Knowledge: The Empire for just being a human. Aslo you need equipment and a background as well.

Imperialus, You need to add in your WS free advance it is still at 45. I think you also recieve for being Human the various skills (Common Knowledge; The Empire, Gossip, Speak Language, Reikspiel). Also you should have +10% for advancing your Toughness attribute not not Agility.

TRD; You need you Human Starting Skills and the two random talents and your starting equipment. Also need a bit of a background.

Other than that we are golden, game thread forth coming.
