[QUOTE="Mallus, post: 6375507, member: 3887"] When the 5e campaign I'm *not* running starts, I'm going to play him: Ryu-ken, human monk L1, "Protector of Inns & Innkeepers" Appearance: A suspiciously graceful balding middle-aged Shou man of medium height. Standard Array: 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8 - variant human bonus package: +1 DEX, +1 WIS, +1 skill prof, + 1 feat STR: 8 (-1) DEX: 16 (+3) CON: 13 (+1) INT : 10 (+0) WIS: 16 (+3) CHR: 12 (+1) HP: 9 AC: 16 Proficiency Bonus: +2 Class Abilities: Unarmored Defense, Martial Arts (1d4) Background: variant Guild Artisan - Guild Merchant (former innkeeper) Skill Proficiencies: Acrobatics (class), Stealth (class), Perception (race), Insight (background), Persuasion (background) Feat: Observant: +1 WIS, read lips, +5 to passive Wisdom (Perception) & passive Intelligence (Investigation) scores Languages: Common, + 1 (race), + 1 (background), +1 (replaces tool) Equipment: mule, cart, broom (as quarterstaff) Personality Trait: Fond of witty fake kung-fu aphorisms. Ideal: Community - It’s the duty of all civilized people to enforce civility. By force if necessary. Bond: “I will protect the property of others. Especially inns. Umm, and the people in them, too." Flaw: Meddlesome & nosy. Story: “Once I owned an expensive inn. Great location. At the bottom of Mt. Būji. Had bath in every room. 400-reed count tatami mats for sleeping. Very luxurious. The Inn of Aspirational Happiness. I got rich. Married several wives. Twice elected Vice President of Greater Kara-Tur Travel and Leisure Association. Then same old story happened: town overrun by gamblers. Yakuza. I refused to pay extortion money. Hired blind swordsman to protect my inn. Worked out about as well as you'd expect. Yakuza burned the inn down, stole my last wife. So I fled up Mt. Būji. There I found the Temple of the Elemental Masters of the Universe. Learned kung-fu on credit. Hadouken-style. Now I have terrible credit rating, but pretty good chi. In short I'm a vagrant. Walking up and down on the ground et cetera.” (bonus points for identifying the double-layer pun in his name...)
