Wildwood Red in Tooth and Claw [OOC]

[Shayuri]

The background as written has her being a street urchiny sort...

I'd imagine Bluff could stay...that's a good skill for begging the occasional copper. Maybe Disguise or something, for looking injured to enhance that. Some Hide and Move Silent, perhaps, for skulking around and avoiding bigger fish. Sense Motive's always useful for telling when someone's about to hit you, or if an offer is legit...

Okay, she's got 16 ranks at 1st level. 2 class, 1 Int, 1 race, times four. Here's how that might look...

Bluff +5 (2 ranks + 3 Cha)
Disguise +5 (2 ranks + 3 Cha)
Escape Artist +5 (2 ranks + 3 Dex)
Gather Information +5 (2 ranks + 3 Cha)
Hide +5 (2 ranks + 3 Dex)
Move Silently +5 (2 ranks + 3 Dex)
Perform (sing or dance) +5 (2 ranks + 3 Cha)
Sense Motive +2 (2 ranks + 0 Wis)

The idea is of a poor girl begging or performing for her daily bread, probably sleeping in what shelter she can find... Perfect for an unscrupulous sort to make disappear. Who'd miss her?

Maybe giving up Disguise and/or Escape Artist for more Sense Motive... Then as she levels I'd buy Spellcraft, Use Magic Device and so on as she learns about her abilities. A lot of these "old" skills I probably won't even spent points on in the future...but they might come in handy. Or not.

Any of those could be fine and appropriate enough for the character, decide on a final skill point allocation you feel right for her and adjust your RG entry accordingly. They can go into effect immediately.

My goal with that house rule was to have your characters mechanically match your concepts of the characters rather than be driven by the mechanics of the class archetypes for skills. Same thing with the free multiclassing and a few of the other house rules and campaign guidelines.

For gather info what do you see as her beggar girl modus operandi for gaining info? As written the skill seems limited to buying drinks, but I'm open to other uses such as a vague keeping her ear to the street for rumors style of past use.

 

[Shayuri]

Yeah...I figured Gather Info was more a knack of knowing how to lurk around and casually overhear things than finagling things out of people...though I can also see her playing the wide-eyed innocent and getting people to confide things with her. The goal of course, was to then turn around and find someone who might be interested enough to pay for those gleaned tidbits.

You know...over here she overhears someone complaining about there being no work in town for a glassblower...and over there she sees the glassblower master firing one of his workers. Those would be the 'gather info' checks.

She could then go back to the first guy and say, "Hey, mister, I know someone who might hire you, but I'll want something for my trouble..."

Oversimplified, but that's the idea.

I'm not entirely sure what you meant by "NR4ZN climbs around the rim using the ledge as a hand and foothold." Is he going on all fours? Hanging from the edge of the rim? Walking around and using the wall as a handhold to steady against?

 

[Voidrazor]

He'll go on all fours. But I'm assuming there's only enough room to get one arm and one leg on the ledge. The other leg will be on the slope. The other arm will repeatedly plant the tree trunk like a post.

Gotcha.

Sorry all, I have been a very busy guy the past few days...school started and my daugther broke her shoulder bone...I think the calvical or something so I went to phoenix to be a good daddy and take care of her...

 

[Voadam]

For Weylan, NR4ZN, and Thelso I'd like to hear how fast you plan to move over to the tunnel to join Inamar, slow and careful pace, or more rapidly?

 

[Voidrazor]

NR4ZN will try to gauge the risk while moving. Starting fairly slowly and possibly accellerating.

 

[Shayuri]

You know? I've been trawling for a decent pic of Inamar for months now, because I really am liking this game and that character...and I figured, "Hey, hot chick in tattered clothes with cool tattoos all over. There's probably tons of pics like that."

But...there's not. Elfwood, DeviantArt...nothing is quite right!

Granted, some could work for Ina once she's high level and badass...but I want something for now. *pout*

Any suggestions for sites with large selections of good, tasteful, fantasy art?
