Statistical Blocks and Character Creation

[flightcommander]

Haha, derp! The image looks like it reads 87, 99, ... not 81, 99. (This would've been much easier as text that you could strike as people chose sets of numbers, instead of an image, I think.)

I'll go with 2nd row, 4th column, and update my character post.

backstory: Mohammud grew up the son of a Courtesan. His mother/ Maylisse and title of madam of a Brothel. Mohammad learned the front desk and merchant side of the business. He had a couple of customers when he was younger. In his early teens, one of his customer, Dakota, the daughter of dakota wheelwrights bought him from his mother. This was like an extended stay purchase. During his stay, Mohammud learned the wheelwright business and also learned about the church of Belkhanu, from Dakota's father Cyrus. After being with the new family for seven years, the family made a road trip to the mountains with their new cart. Mahammud has just got his priestly powers. Bandits attacked and Mahamuud took cover while Cyrus and the guards protected it. The bandits killed the family, kidnapped Dakota and left Mahammud for dead. Mohammud was spared and now seeks to find and rescue dakota and make the bandits pay.



Mohammud found a village and briefly stayed there. Even though he was a priest he respected Be'van, your village shaman and also leader in all but name, after counsel with your chieftains. HE then joined this Tsol'yani vessel named the Joy of S'samris. He hopes to find Dakota and free her from her captives.

Dtspurrier -

You got very lucky for your original skills - an 82, which allows you to choose 2 skills from Group 1 or 2 and 1 Noble skill.

Since you are of humble beginnings, you'll need some creative backstory as to how you came by a skill of the noble class. Perhaps you are a freed slave or servant whose master/mistress permitted you to learn from they or one in their household.

As for a god of the travellers, the only thing that comes to mind is perhaps an aspect of Belkhanu or his Cohort, Qon.

Belkhanu oversees the journey of the dead and perhaps within his Temple there is a related aspect which oversees the journeys of Stability adherents as they prepare, in worldly travels, for the next world.

Qon is a Guardian so perhaps there is an aspect of Qon as Watcher of the Crossroads, sacred to Stability travellers.

In fact, there are such aspects of both as I just made them up!

flightcommander I can't find where I rolled for your skills.

I don't think I did so I am doing so now.

You got a 62, allowing to choose a skill from any of the 3 groups.

I listed Group 1 and 2 skills as well as Professional skills at the beginning of this thread, but here are the Noble skills should you choose one (bearing in mind you will need to create an origin for you character to explain why one of humble means acquired a Noble skill. I may add a few modifying factors to the more powerful and illustrious Noble skills reflecting your background as an outlier of the Empire but nothing too restrictive.

Group 3 skills:

alchemist
Artist/Sculptor
assassin-spy-tracker
Astronomer-Navigator
Author
Botanist
Courtesan/DonJuan (if Comeliness high)
Dancer
Engineer/Architect
Geologist
Interpreter
Mathematian
Musician
Orator
Physician
Poet
Scholar (history, philosophy, etc)

As for your Professional skills, you got a 59, allowing you a choice of 4 from among the first five.

😃

Everyone: I will be posting the character roster later today and I believe we are at our limit for now on players, perhaps that will change. We will begin playing either Tonite or Monday! I live next door to a library and that's my only desktop at the moment so I will be running the game from there or my phone as need arises.

I will be posting a thread with some playing aids as well, maps, etc.


Have a great weekend.

I think Bálesh should have 8 hit points? 1+1=7 for warrior, +1 for CON?

dtspurrier, apologies that I missed that for your professional skills.

You got a 77, permitting you to choose 4 from among the first 5.

Will update the character roster with your backstory and your Professional Skills when you choose them.
