Possibly a Idiot.
I see where the confusion is. I did not intend to question the legitimacy, I only intended to highlight the fact he wasn't king yet.
What you've said would justify most members of Royal Families only having A Int of 11, only having A Wisdom of 9 and not being of good moral character(A Thief) but he's not just(?) A Member of his homelands Royal Family, he's his Homelands Future King
I'll be honest and admit that I made the mistake of assuming that it wasn't possible for A Future King to be of average or even dull intellect, lack wisdom or be notoriously immoral, but when you put it the way you have you've made me realize that I was wrong. Thank you and sorryMany rulers (kings) IRL have had average or even dull intellect and lacked wisdom. More than one has certainly been a notoriously immoral. I don't know why you think a ruler (king) can't possess these traits. History is littered with such rulers (kings). What I'm saying is that being of royal birth or next in line to be King doesn't necessarily mean you'll have stunning intellect, great wisdom, or strong morals. You seem to be really insistent that it does and I'm telling you that this is simply not the case, as evidenced by real life.
[Edit: For a notoriously dimwitted king, lookup Charles II of Spain. For notoriously immoral royals, look no further than the House of Borgia.]
why would A Future King become A Adventurer?
First off, nicely done! The very first PC I ever played, after a similarly low-odds rolling sequence, also turned out to be first in line to a throne. He was a Ranger, and the justification for his field adventuring was pretty easy: he (and his parents) felt he needed to get out and toughen himself up a bit before settling in to the life of a noble.I've joined A RPG Group, I'm A Player and I've ended up with A Thief with Str S 10, Con 15, Dex 17, Int 11, Wis 9 and Ch 10, 6Hp and A AC of 5
The thing is that when rolling for his background The 1st 1D100 roll was A 100, The 2nd was A 8, the 3rd was A 34, The 4th was A 66, The 5th was A 56 and the 6th was A 45. This means that he's the oldest child of A King, which means that 1 day he'll be A King, he's got 4 younger siblings, he's legitimate, his country is slightly smaller then normal and its calm, peaceful, quiet, beautiful and prosperous
The 58 followed by A 45 means that despite sharing borders with 4 countries that are all both a lot bigger then it and a lot more powerful then it the place has never been invaded and that's because 1,386 years ago the 4 countries it shares borders with decided that letting it remain independent is in their best interests, their thinking was, and still is, that it would be a very good idea to have A independent Country that share's borders with all of them that is willing to trade with all of them, that in times of peace is friendly to all of them and in times of war would be neutral to all of them
So has anyone got any idea how to justify this. I mean seriously?, why would A Future King become A Adventurer?, and even if he did why be A Thief? and why would A Future King only have A Int of 11 and A Wis of 9?
