Tentative character: Christine Verhoeven

Post by Iceberg »

Feats: Ambidexterity, Dodge.
Possessions:
Weapons: Club; Dagger; Sword, short; Crossbow, light; Bolts, crossbow (20).
Armor: Leather.
Goods: Backpack; Shovel; Sewing needle; Rope, hemp (50 ft.); Pouch, belt; Pitcher, clay; Oil (pint); Lantern, hooded; Chalk, 1 piece; Chalk, 1 piece; Chalk, 1 piece; Chalk, 1 piece; Locksmith's tools; Thieves' tools; Peasant's outfit; Entertainer's outfit; Cold weather outfit; Traveler's outfit.
Languages: Latin, German, French

Appearance: A slight girl with somewhat sharp features, and dirty blonde hair that she keeps cut short. Can be mistaken for a boy, an impression that she tries to cultivate. Her brown eyes perpetually have an angry squint. She has a few extra changes of clothing when she needs to disguise herself to mingle above her meager station in life.

Background: Christine came from a dispossessed family, once members of the burgeoning middle class but now cast among the poor with the death of her father. She learned early that she had two choices to survive: Thievery, or prostitution. Choosing thievery, she carefully disguised her femininity, learning to pass as a boy (albeit an androgynously pretty one). Recently she has begun to believe that she hears voices from God, exhorting her to come out of her life of crime. She takes to the bottle in the late evenings to drown these voices out, something that she seldom accomplishes successfully. In her idle time, Christine dreams of becoming a seamstress.

Don't blame me, it's the standard WotC statblock format - I got it from E-Tools.

4D6 drop lowest. The dice loved me, that's all.

Well, this is open until the campaign starts - which I'm planning for late next week. Everybody needs a chance to get their character in.

Seeing how I may not have internet access for 3 weeks, I was thinking, I noticed that 8-Bit Fighter Prestige Class requires a year of training, so, if I can come in late in the campaign(if it takes place over a long period of time) thats where I could have been. I don't know anything about prestige classes, but yeah, whatever.

ATTENTION:

Campaign is officially Europe. Campaign will start in the British Isles late next week. Reconfigure your languages accordingly. Racial languages remain the same.

So, in this case, Common would probably be best replaced by English. Celestial would be Latin or Arabic, and so on. Don't forget you may want other languages of the area as well, such as Gaelic.

Players can still join in until the start of the campaign.

I would think that Common should be Vulgar Latin, actually - Common is supposed to be a trade tongue, not necessarily your native tongue.
