[DMZ]Faerun RP(Custom Indication Rules)

[DMZ]

This is the OOC for the Faerun RP interest check I posted a while ago.

IC here: http://roleplayerguild.com/showthread.php?t=96737

This RP is is drop-in, drop-out variant, meaning players may quit and join the RP even while it's in progress, in accordance with the GM (me). Still try to avoid this.

Don't be scared off by the size of the character sheet, I am merely trying to provide adequate information to start, thus avoiding the need for you to read up too much.
Also, for some variation it would be nice to have some female characters, and preferably played by females(since they do it generally better) :P
Create 1 character, but have an idea for a second one, in case your primary dies!

Story: Our story starts in the town of Assam in 1370 DR (Middle of the map, East Turmish, North of Shining Plains, South of Lake of the Long Arm), where a group of mercenaries is required to go off on a yet undisclosed quest. The folder offers 5000 GP and points you to an inn in the middle of the town, a large wooden building covered with dirt, creating the appearance of a small hill. Assam is a trading town, with several of these house types littering the main road. Despite the small appearance it's a very busy place, with travellers coming and going constantly. The inn goes by the name of "Traveller's Rest" and has a homey appearance, accepting any travellers with coin. The interior is richly decorated with the finest silk and craftsmanship worth of kings. The services are expansive, from a simple bed to a complete night rest with company. Among many people the innkeeper stands out a lot, a rather large rough-looking bearded man with dark-brown skin, serving drinks and chatting with the locals. One will usually find about 50 folks in the inn at any time, conducting business or simply drinking with buddies before leaving for the road. According to the folder you should speak with the innkeeper about the job.

Now, I understand not all of the above are "features" if you must. Don't burn me on that.

- Serious players, since this RP will require some honest and objective thinking.
- This means no gods, MS and speed posters of course.

Biography


- Class: Mage, Cleric, Ranger, Paladin, Thief, Sorcerer, Fighter, Bard, Druid.

Mage: Magic user, nuff said. Can't cast with armour. Bad at healing.
Cleric: Healer/Buff with some offensive spells. Can cast with armour
Ranger: Woodland fighter, feels best in the nature. Can stealth and befriend animals among others.
Paladin: Holy fighter, dedicated to fight against evil. Some clerical spells.
Thief: A thief.
Sorcerer: Special kind of mage, does not memorise spells but draws from a pool of power.
Fighter: A plain fighter, customisable.
Bard: Jester and song-writer. Experienced traveller. Can cast spells, do some thievin and fight, though is not nearly as good as the dedicated versions. Songs inspire party.
Druid: Woodland Cleric. Can summon animals and control them. Can heal, though less effective as cleric. Spells revolve around nature.

- Combinations of these are of course possible(Max 3). I'll drop the exclusions in favour of gameplay.

Most common races: Elves, Dwarves, Halflings, Human, Half-Orc, Half-Elf, Tiefling, Fiend)
Racial benefits: These are fairly general, but some noticeable things are:

Elves excel at bows and long swords, and generally can hide in woods better. Due to their fragility they are more sensitive to magic and can stand less punishment. Average lenght and slim build.

Dwarves are very resilient and strong, able to resist poison and magic to some degree. Not very charismatic or agile. Usually short and stocky.

Halflings make good thieves because of their size and inherited abilities. Agile and fast. However, being small does have its drawbacks, as fighting is harder. Short and slim.

Humans are average, having no special bonuses or weaknesses

Half Orcs are very strong and usually large, making for good fighters, even if a bit less intelligent and charismatic.

Half-Elves inherit both the human and the elven part of their heritage. A bit more tender than humans they tend to have fewer elf weaknesses and strenghts.

Fiend: Magical or otherwise unusual beings that come from the planes and darker cornes of faerun. Adept at magic and fighting alike, however extremely vulnerable to both.

Tiefling: A mix between fiends and humans, inherit both the weaknesses and strenghts of both races, but to a lesser extent.

Undead: Have resistance to arrows and piercing attacks such as stabbing. Generally unaffected by normal magic. Weaknesses include crushing attacks(hammers, flails, spells that do such) and magic specifically customised for undead.

Demons: Powerful magic users with some combat abilities, but weak against paladins and clerical power. Magic customised for them also hurts them a lot. Minor demons only.

Any custom race is allowed, but be sure to balance it out if you want to have fun and explain a bit where it comes from!

STR(Strenght) (HO +2, E -1)
DEX(Dexterity) (E +2, HE +1, D -2, H +1, U -1)
CON(Constitution) (D +2, HO +1, E -2, U +2)
INT(Intelligence) (HO -2, F +2, T +1, DE +1,)
WIS(Wisdom) (HO -1, F +1, T -1, DE -1, U -1)
CHR(Charisma) (HO -1, D -2, H +1, U -2, DE +1)
Maximum is 25, minimum is 3.

(Most characters start with max 18, 18 is extremely good/25 is godlike. Racial modifiers apply, if you don't know what those are see above list and below definitions. Using them is NOT required)Applied to the max of 18, so a +1 means soft maximum of 19, +2 = 20
E = Elf D= Dwarf H=Halfling HO = Half Orc F= Fiend T=Tiefling U=Undead DE= Demons HE= Half-Elf

Skills(use the 0-100 system. Again, same story as with ability scores, the higher these are, the harder I will make the game for you. Skills may range from stealth to anything that can be expressed this way. This includes languages and basic skills like climbing.)
Skill ranges(using lockpicking for example):
0 = non existant, can't use skill (0% chance)
25 = normal, can use average skill (40% of locks can be opened (example))
50 = Professional (60% of locks can be opened)
75 = Master (70% of locks can be opened)
90 = Magically enhanced Master (90% of locks can be opened)
100 = Impossible for most without epic magic (No lock can withstand)

With climbing this would for example be from unable to climb a fence (0), to being able to fly up a flat glass wall (100)
Language skill determines the proficiency in the language, from clear foreigner (10) to native (100) for example.
If you are an Elf for example, you automatically speak Elvish and thus your Elvish language score is automatically 100 and doesn't need to be mentioned. Same for Humans and Common, etc etc.

- Spells(for Clerics and Mages, Bards): You can use the FR spells or make up your own, provided they are not overpowered. Be creative! You can either use the dXX system, or the point system.
For the point system:
0 = Spell fails to hurt a fly
10 = Spell will hurt most creatures for a normal amount of damage.
20 = Seriously wounds a bear.
30 = Kills any smaller creature if hit, deals good damage otherwise.
40 = Usually kills humanoids, easily kills commoners and wildlife.
50 = Dangerous to most stronger foes like ogres.
60 = Will kill any normal sized creature and seriously hurt even undead.
70 = Potential to rip a house off the ground.
80-100 = Epic magic, will bring down heaven on earth and destroy cities.

- Abilities: Make something up, combine existing or use the standard, up to you. (Short description as to what everything does. Limit of no more than 10 magical/divine, not all usable at the same time. This excludes languages, spells and basic abilities like jumping)

Armor(For armor you can use the AC system, ranging from 10 to -10, the latter being the best. Give me an impression how strong/good it is. If you can, use the full D&D system and give more detail. Give a little back story if it's a magical or special armor)

Without dex bonus:
AC of 10 is normal clothing, so basically no decent protection.
AC of 8 is a suit of Leather Armour (Hard leather), good for the occasional bite or scratch.
AC of 5 is a suit of Studded Leather(leather with metal studs), giving basic protection against attacks.
AC of 3 is chainmail, good protection vs swords
AC of 2 is Splint Mail, chain mail with some plating.
AC of 0 is Plate Mail, chest piece
AC of -2 is Full Plate Mail, giving excellent protection against missiles and weapons.
The rest down is magical armour of great power, usually also some kind of plate. -5 to -10 is an almost impenetrable armour which belongs in the "epic" category, and thus is limited.

This means that a magical +3 AC Leather Armour would be equal to a normal Studded Leather and so on and so on. For the purpose of gameplay you are not allowed to create magical armour and weapons beyond +5 AC/+5 damage

Weapons(D&D system is a dice based, which is quite easy to learn, see below. Use that or the point based system, where damage ranges from 1(daggers) to 12(greatswords) + any number of magical attributes. A little backstory is nice.)

Items(Anything important, clothes, furnace, magical box of slippers, anything you think you need. Backstory optional.)

Biography(Self-explanatory. Put some effort in this.)

Anything else of importance....

These are amounts to give you a general idea of what costs are involved in the custom rulebook
1 Gold Piece = 100 Silvers = 1000 Coppers

Horses(Living creatures overall cost slightly less, exotics come in at a factor 2.5-3.0)
An excellent horse (think King's Stables) would be anywhere from 300 gold to 500 gold
A good horse(think guard horse, messenger) would cost at most 150, at least 50 gold
A normal horse (any horse merchant) would come in at 5 - 40 gold, depending on the inflation.
And of course, for your snappy needs a bad horse would be relatively cheap, coming in at 1 - 4 Gold.
Of course, these are prices for actually buying a horse to own, hire costs are slightly different.

Weapons
A top of the line axe used by gladiators and knights will cost you a pretty penny at 200-300 gold.
A reasonable price for a good axe made for combat, normally used by wealthy infantrymen and less wealthy knights is anywhere from 50 to a 100 gold coins.
A normal axe that has seen some decent craftsmanship is worth up to 10 gold, and a general minimum of 2 gold.
The low quality battle axe will bring in about 10 silvers into the merchant's pouch and may even be sold for as much as 5 silvers.
If you want to chop wood you can buy a regular axe from any merchant and it won't cost you much more than 10 coppers.

Magical weapons are not usually sold at stores, but if they are expect a heavy price increase up to 5x the original value. Yes, such a weapon may cost more than a house. Swords more expensive than cities have been sighted.

Missile Weapons
These deserve a separate section. Normal prices are about the same as weapon prices, but:
The most expensive bows available use original Cormanthor wood along with slight elven magic, making them extremely expensive (700 - 1500 gold). Even gold plating has nothing in this price range(600-1000)
Darts, Throwing Knives and the like are quite cheap in comparison, being traded for less than 5 coppers per stack of 10

Armour
A dwarven-made king's armour is the best in terms of protection(or so they say), and will bring about a hefty sum, from 700 to 2000 gold.
Richly engraved Knight armour is generally not less pricey and will change hands for 700 - 1500 gold
A city guard's armory is worth about 200 coins on average
A suit of mercenary plate armour will be made on request for about 150 coins.
The average leather armour of good quality is bound to be found for prices from 2 to 9 gold.
Low quality leather or perhaps bad quality plate can be your for as much as 50 silvers.
Armour that will protect a fly from your hand at most can be bought for a single silver.

Again, magical armour will be vastly more expensive.

Clothing
Silk and Gold-threaded suit, the very classy one: 100-200 Gold
Very comfortable clothing made from the finer fabric around: 50-100
Average clothing made out of good quality fabrics and with average craftmanship: 10-30
Adequate clothing for everyday life: 1-5
Low Quality clothing: 30-70 Silvers
A bunch of rags stitched together: 2-5 silvers

Shoewear
King's Boots: 100-150 Gold
Nobleman's Sleeks: 20-70
Knight's Pillars: 10-60
Guard's Support: 3-20
Merchant's Travelers: 30-90 Silvers
Citizen's Walkers: 10-15 Silvers
Worker's Steppers: 1-5 Silvers
Beggar's Flakes: ~2 coppers

Food and Drinks
Bread: 5 Coppers
Water: 1-10 Coppers, mostly free
Mug of Ale: 1 Silver
Vegetables(Markets, 1 kg): 5 coppers - 20 Silvers
Fruit(Markets, 1 kg): 9 coppers - 40 Silvers
Grain(Markets, 1 kg): 5 Coppers - 10 Silvers
Meat(M, 1 kg): 6-20 Silvers
Fish(M, 1 kg): 5-65 Silvers
Exotics: Regular price + 75-200 % (Not counting any factors such as city multipliers. Regular price is the regular price for the city.)

Resting and Entertainment
Night's Rest at respectable Inn: 10 silvers
Courtesan, average: 20-50 Silvers
A ticket to a local play: 10-100 Silvers
Hiring a local band of minstrels to play: Usually around 20 silvers per hour.
Ticket for Gladiator fights(large cities): 50-200 Silvers ( 50 silvers - 2 Gold)

Miscelannia
Paper, 1x1 sheet: 50 silvers
Fabric, 1x1 piece: 10 Silvers - 20 Gold, depending on material
Belts, Pouches, Sheaths: 20 - 40 Silvers
Needle and Thread(1 m thread): 5 coppers - 5 silvers (depending on quality and type of thread)
Bedroll: 30 Silvers
Tinderbox: 5 coppers
Leather packs: 2-20 silvers

Ammunition:
Bolts, Arrows, stack of 50: 5 Coppers
Sling stones: 4 Coppers
Magical Elemental Arrows, Bolts and Bullets: 50 silvers/piece

Any price in here can be expressed in any kind of coin, be it silver, gold or copper. A 1000 Coppers is still equal to 1 gold, albeit more heavy.

Q: I want to be a god of some sort, can I?
A: Unless exceptionally weak for a god, no. Let's keep it on the ground.

Q: How about undead and demons/angels?
A: Make your pick. Be sure to balance your character accordingly and expect some resistance in towns/cities.

Q: I got all 25's on my scores! I rule!
A: Your game will be significantly harder, since every single monster will attack you, random lightning will have more chance of hitting you, Drizzt might come around, cows can fall from the sky, etc etc.

Q: I got a spiffy M-16 and am a cyborg!
A: May Bhaal have mercy on ye. *dropkicks character to hell's smithy pits*
Findin ye olde musket might be an option.

Q: i got like a 1000 minions, muahahaha!
A: If you can feed and manage all of them, good luck. I'll be sure to kill off half of them before each battle.

Q: My special ability is call a demon, which destroys everything!
A: You first, then it disappears and the RP goes on.

Q: What if I don't want to die?
A: Depending on how the RP goes ya may have to. In that case you might be resurrected at a nearby temple, or we'll meet a new character somewhere along the storyline. Don't expect either to happen.

Q: Ooh, can i do an NPC?
A: You can, depending on who we meet and how much interest there is.

Q: I don't know D&D at ALL? Can I play?
A: Yes, it shouldn't be too hard for you to learn some stuff.


D&D damage mechanics:
It's a dice based system. For example:
A weapon does 1d4 damage. This means you roll one(1) dice with four(d4) sides. The minimum you can roll is 1, the maximum is 4. So the weapons deals between 1 and 4 damage without any bonuses, which usually just add to what you rolled.

Magical example:
2d4 +3
This time you roll two(2) dice with four(d4) sides, and add three to the roll. Minimum you can normally roll is 2 (2x1, snake eyes), maximum is 8(2x4). However, since there is a +3, the minimum/maximum rolls become 5 and 11 respectively.

Dices can have any number of sides, from 3 to a 100. For the purpose of weapons we'll stick to d4-d12. Spells also use the same principle.

Q: I want to read up on FR material. Where?
A: http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

Q: How...?
A: Ask in the thread, think I've covered most there.

Biography: Born into a clan of Mason's, Kostvel grew up in the local quarry of Brost. He lived a fairly avereage life of a young boy, often getting in trouble for being where he wasn't supposed to be. Once he reached the age of fourteen, he began his apprenticeship as a mason, beginning as a roughcutters helper. Eventually he managed to work his way up through his first and second year of apprenticeship.

After turning eighteen and finishing his second year apprenticeship as a mason, much changed. Due the the strong martial pride in his clan, Kostvel, like many other boys his age were indentured with the local mercenary company. This was to make them world wise, and teach them important fighting skills. Once they finished their indenture, they could come back and complete their apprenticeship.
Kostvel served with the Iron Gauntlet Obudshaer, a halberd unit based out of Athkatla. Through his four year indentureship, he became well versed in the use of various polearms, formation fighting, and the fisticuff style of the Obudshaer, known as "Last Strike". He also learned basic survival techniques, and cartography.

Finishing his indentureship at 22, and wanting to travel the world some more, he spent the remaining money he had on basic armor and weapons and set out. Eventually passing through many towns, he heard in Elversult that a mercenary contract for five-thousand Gold was being offered at Assam.

Purchasing the required travel rations, he set out on foot down the long track down and around the Shining Plains with a few other travelers also heading the same direction. Finally arriving in Assam,

Mortis Rex

Name: Amaranth
Age: 35
Class: Monk
Gender: Male
Length:1.83 meters
Racial Benefits: None
Race: Human
Appearance:

STR: 20
DEX: 16
CON: 12
INT: 14
WIS: 10
CHR: 5

Spell:

Kinetic shield(20): Coats the caster/target in a creamy light blue aura. Creates a shield that can absorb offensive kinetic energy and transfer it into the caster/target. The kinetic energy is transferred into the caster/target's muscles where it builds up. If the energy is not expelled within five seconds of the shield's dissipation, the caster/target will be ripped apart by the build up of energy trying to escape. The energy is fired out in one burst(attack). Only works against physical attacks and the shield portion only lasts for five seconds(so the spell's total time is 10 seconds). The shield can absorb multiple attacks, but cannot withstand attacks from any ceature weighing over 250 kilos(giants,dragons, etc...who could?).

Skills:

Hand to Hand: 75
Running: 20
Acrobatics: 60
Stealth: 20
Climbing: 20
Disarm: 25


Abilities:

Straight punch: A powerful stepping forward punch that when it connects can break bones and crack armor. Its hard to pull off in a fight and it must be done in a particular stance. More useful when used in a fight where the user is secured. Can be done with either hand.

Ki heal: Allows Amaranth to quickly heal minor wounds or gradually heal deeper wounds by absorbing ki from the surrounding and adding to to his own. Works better out in nature and cannot be used offensively as a drain attack.

Reverse flip kick: A counter attack that is generally used in response to a thrust or a powerful sweeping attack. The user steps back and flips forward (making sure to clear the attack), keeping both feet together. The landing is intended to be on the opponent's head/chest. Can cause a massive amount of damage if it connects perfectly.

Deflect: Because of the magical properties of his left gauntlet, Amaranth can deflect/push back offensive magic ranging from medium sized fireballs to ice based projectiles and clouds of poison. Spells under 20 can be deflected easily, spells 20-30 can be curved or blocked with light damage, spells 40 and up have to be avoided all together.

Ki Seal: Allows the user, when in very close, to attack the vitals with a 50% chance of paralyzing the enemy. Works better on unarmored humanoid opponents. Has no effect on the undead or other non-humanoid creatures.

Armour:

An iron mask(AC 10)
Leather chest Plate (AC 5)
Gauntlets: right(AC-2) left(AC-4)
Grieves/Boots(AC 2)


Weapons:

Gauntlets(6, three for each hand) , grieves(6, three for each foot).



His left hand gauntlet has the power to deflect and or fend off offensive magic. Depending on the strength of the spell (40+), the gauntlet would be rendered useless.

Items:

Clothes
A once magical pendant, stolen from a drow wizard's private chambers
A sheepskin of water
A black bottle of rare eastern wine
An ancient book about eastern martial arts


Gold: 3 gold and 23 silver (stolen off his "friends" corpses)

Biography:

At the age of four a young boy with black hair and brown skin became a slave in the drow city of Menzoberranzan. Like most humans in the underdark, he was taken as a captive after his home had be obliterated by a group of drow. The trip below the surface was hard and many of the other captives didn't make it.

A young drow priestess by the name of Divelle Banrae bought him off a slaver after she she saw him bite the man's nose off. Divelle, however, proved to be a much worst master then the slaver. She abused the boy every chance she got, both physically, mentally, and sexually.

During whatever time he go to himself, the boy would punch anything hard for hours. By the time he was eight, the boy had rock like callouses on his knuckles and palms. One night when Divelle was sleeping, the boy mounted her and as she rose to push him away, he punched her as hard as he could in the throat. Blood pooled from her mouth and she died shortly after.

The boy crept through house Banrae while another commotion was taking place and most of the guard summoned elsewhere. In a strange room filled with all sorts of books and colorful potions, the boy found a pendant. When he gripped it tightly he found himself in the mouth of a cave. There he saw true light for the first time in years. Slowly he walked towards the blinding light out into the world he was taken from.

From there he was taken in by a group of thayan mercenaries after they saw him beat a goblin to death with only his hands. They named his Amaranth after the herbs they found him lying exhausted in. As he grew older, Amaranth began to specialize in strictly hand to hand combat. He became infamous for his self taught style of fighting. Amaranth also learned many things from stolen martial texts from the east. For many years things were good, but one day when Amaranth returned from a job, he found that his name had be mixed up in a plot to topple the thayan government.

When the rest of the mercenary band was dissolved (slaughtered) by the Red Wizards, Amaranth now he wears and iron mask and wonders the wilds of Thay as a sellsword.

Callthecops

Name: Charon
Age: 43 (21 relative to human aging)
Class: Wilder
Gender: Male
Length: 1.95
Race: Maenad
Racial benefits: Average
Appearance:


Charon is a large man with wide shoulders and an athletic build. Like his kin, Charon’s skin is flecked with silver flakes. His clothes are dark grey and are tailored to his body, they are not fancy, but it is clear that the tailor who created them was talented. His outer shirt has a hood on it, which he generally wears up. On his back is a charcoal colored traveler’s cloak

STR: 8
DEX 12
CON: 10
INT16
WIS: 16
CHR: 15

Powers: (Charon’s powers are psionic, meaning they are manifested by his will. As such, they do not work the same way traditional spells do. Charon’s powers require him to concentrate his will, and the more powers that he manifests without resting, the harder it becomes for him to concentrate. Certain powers also require more concentration than others, and cause more mental fatigue, which limits his ability to just go running around murder-deathing everything. A secondary limitation to his powers, is that any power that effects an unwilling target’s mind (Psychic Crush/sometimes Emapthy) is essentially a battle of two wills. This means, that although Charon’s will is very strong, these powers do not work automatically, for them to work, Charon’s will must overpower the will of his opponent, either fully, or partially. If he succeeds in overpowering his target’s will, the power achieves it’s full effect. If he fails, the power has no effect. If he is able to at least partially overcome his opponent, the result is somewhere between.)

Psionic Bolt- Charon directs his psionic powers into harnessing the energy around him. He then shoots the energy at his target, inflicting damage.
(Medium-Low concentration required) 25-40

Psychic Crush- Charon directs his psionic power deep within the mind of his target and attempts to crush the will of his opponent. The spell’s effectiveness ranges depending upon the target’s mental fortitude. At it’s worst, the spell shatters the mind of his target, rendering it helpless and dying. Otherwise, the sudden and brutal attack upon the target’s psyche causes damage to the target. Opponents with strong wills that have endured damage from other sources become more susceptible to the attack.
(High concentration required) 70

Body Adjustment- Charon takes control of his body’s healing process and attempts to heal himself of damage.
(Medium concentration required) 40-60

Empathy- Charon’s mind reaches out to all sentient beings in his general vicinity and allows him to detect their surface thoughts, such as, basic needs, desires, and emotions. Again, Charon must overcome the will of his targets, therefore targets with stronger wills can hide certain things.

Biography: Charon was born on a small island in the Sea of Fallen Stars, to a clan of Maenads. The island that the clan called home was named Akteral, meaning, “Unknown Place” in the Maenad language. Ancient history tells of a great tragedy, now long forgotten by the inhabitants of the world, the only trace being the lingering hatred that resides in all the Maenad peoples. After the cataclysmic event left it’s mark on the Maenad, they soon realized that their only salvation was to embrace the way of the psion, and to channel their energies into achieving total control and discipline over their chaotic minds. To this end, Charon’s ancestors came to the island of Akteral, and together created an extraordinary shroud that changed the very nature of reality surrounding the island. This shroud distracted and distorted the minds of all who might have seen it, so that instead of an island, all their minds would see was the empty ocean.

Like this, Charon’s clan has existed for ages, isolated from the rest of the world, attempting to harness their own power, and unravel the mysteries of the universe. However, not all Maenad wish to live this way, constantly fighting against ones own emotions, for fear of losing oneself inside of them. As such, Maenad like Charon venture outside whatever circumstances keep their respective clans isolated from the rest of the world. These individuals typically wander from place to place in pursuit of new experiences, and emotions to give meaning and satisfaction to their existence.

Charon left his clan at the age of 37, rowing his way to Lyrabar in one of the small vessels that the clan used to trade with some of the coastal villages when necessary. From there, Charon made his way up to Dilpur, and caught a boat to Telflamm. Over the next few years, the Maenad moved from village to village, living life as a wanderer. Eventually, Charon reached Lake Mulsantir as his wanderings lead him east along The Golden Way. He then met a fisherman who agreed to take Charon across the lake to a village east of Surthay. Deciding to avoid the city for a while, Charon has recently been staying in an inn a few miles south of Surthay and is beginning to grow restless for more excitement.

Biography
It's hard to say where Glith came from, but it's all too clear he isn't normal or natural. An animated body encased in full armour, it's hard to bargain with something that is so intimidating. Despite all these features Glith is actually a very charming entity, being able to speak with any race and any kind. Whether this is the result of an embedded enchantment or an actual personality is unknown. Assam is one place he is widely known, having helped or hired out more than any other mercenary. Glith has seen people be born and die, gaining knowledge of life and death. Whether he has or had any family is unknown to anyone but him.

Appearance:


STR(Strenght): 11
DEX(Dexterity): 17
CON(Constitution): 11
INT(Intelligence): 15
WIS(Wisdom): 10
CHR(Charisma): 16
Maximum is 18/25, minimum is 3

Spells:
Nocturnal Refuge (28) – Casting a great cloak over a nearby area, complete darkness will ensue. In this area, which is wide in a way, light will be prevented to move and the sense of sight will be rendered unusable. A disadvantage everyone in the area shares, even the caster of the spell. The cloak settles around the caster, and so it cannot be used on a distance. The spell is maintained for several seconds after the caster leaves the area before disappearing.

Celestial Spire (45) – Drawing from the powers of the nearby light, the caster can focus them into a great beam of light at the opponent. The beams of light are magically infused and can thereby sear enemies and make holes in walls with their powers. While quite powerful, it takes heavily on the caster's stamina. Moonlight increases its power. This spell is available to the girl only because she holds the Crescent Scythe.

Enforced Dread (35) – An enforcement spell that makes black lines cover a person. These black lines supply the muscles of the person with energy, increasing constitution and strength of the target and makes them capable of feats that earlier would have been impossible. Can be applied on the caster, but is more suited to be put on a real fighter. As a side effect, the veins and eyes of the person becoming black might look scary.

Shade Commander (40) – Commanding the energy in her affinity for darkness, the girl can manipulate the very shadows of the world. They may stab out and attack, take forms of their own, help her carry things and generally anything one would use a pack of strong hands for. The shadows she controls are limited to those within a range of three meters.

Crow Transformation (30) – The caster has the ability to, partially or completely, transform into a big crow. While in this form, the druid is unable to properly channel powers for other spells or use the scythe efficiently, but there are other uses of the guise of a crow. Especially considering the wings.

Glow (15) – The caster’s hand glows as it throws a very light healing magic. Nothing on the scope any cleric could throw, but still. Could still save your life in a pinch.

Stealth – 50
Danger-Sense - 65 (Mystic)
Evasion – 50
Climbing – 50
Jumping – 50

Scythe Fighting – 32
Slingshot – 43

Abilities:
Mystic Watcher – Sometimes taking a neutral stance in the actions of others, this girl can fade into the background, becoming unnoticeable as long as she stays immobile. And dude, can she remain immobile for long. During darkness, she can also spread this power to light walking.

Unhindered One – As fleeting as a shadow, the little girl can run unhindered through places of nature where others would claim process be impossible. As a shadow, she creeps through nature or up trees as if she was meeting no resistance at all. That’s just how she proceeds her journeys.

Crescent Affinity – As druids and rangers often take a liking for a certain aspect of nature, this girl appears to have chosen the moon and darkness. Her powers seem to grow during night-time, and even more if she is touched by moonlight. Mere darkness works too, but not with as much effect.

Plight of Night – Reaching out control using darkness, the girl may command animals to do her bidding. However, her signals are hampered by light, so this ability works best in darkness. The light of the moon, however, empowers the ability and sends her signal over far reaches. Nocturnal animals may feel kinship with her, and move to aid her.

Wielder of the Moon – The scythe she carries appears to hold an affinity for her. Usually hovering behind her invisible, the girl can grab the scythe and from there use the full powers it contain. No one else appears to be able to utilize these powers.

Where there is Danger – This mystifying girl holds mysterious powers in the shape of knowing how dangerous something will turn out. If the water here is good to drink, if entering that forest is a good idea, if danger awaits on the other side of that hill… She will not be able to tell exactly what danger there is to some action, but she can tell if something is dangerous. It is though not always she tells this, however.

RP-specific abilities:
True Sight - True sight may be used to see objects as they really are, being able to identify unknown items or dispel illusions. Additionally, this spell may also be used to pre-emptively check an area for enemies.
Usage: Once per day.

Armour: None that can defend. That is:
Standard dress – AC 10.

Weapons:
Crescent Scythe – A large scythe which will hover behind the girl. It seems like a figure of a crescent moon put on a staff. Inscriptions can be seen on the side, however none so far has been able to discern what it says, or in what language. When used, the power of the scythe allows the girl to use it as a slingshot of power. Grabbing at the center of the crescent shape, the girl can create balls of energy that she can draw using unseen strings and then launch at targets. The scythe is able to remain invisible when the girl is not using it, and hovers behind her allowing her to surprise plenty of foes at her suddenly becoming armed. It is also capable of glowing lightly when the girl desires a bit of light.

RP-specific weapons
"Glass Rose"
Type: Bow
Effects:
- Upon touching, replenishes the wearer's health by a small amount(Once per day and on first touch).
- While equipped, +1 Charisma when dealing with males(excluding dead or otherwise extraplanar creatures).
- Fires magical +1 arrows, needing no ammunition.
Usable by: Anyone with a Charisma of 16 or higher

The Glass Rose, named so by its original owner, Lady Daura of Aluarim, is a bow crafted specifically for the charismatic and noble, requiring a high degree of likeability and charisma to even be used. Tales tell that Lady Daura had this bow made to protect her on her travels after yet another band of bandits left her and her guards with nothing but underwear on the road back home. Many a wizard proposed their designs, but only one struck the Lady's fancy. Crafted with pure glass and enchanted by various spells, the weapon served the Lady well in the following years, fending off bandits and lovers alike much better than her guards. Using the benefits given by the enchanted item, the Lady successfully charmed many young nobles to abstain from their wealth for just one night with the owner. Regardless to say, angry mothers, wives and lovers soon got the better of her, causing the trail of both Lady Daura and the Glass Rose to soon vanish. While one says they saw the Lady wandering the streets of Athkatla, the other disproves and insists that she is now a ghost, looking for her long lost treasure. Regardless of the story, the Glass Rose is a potent item, allowing the user to heal small wounds once a day, boosting one's charismatic appeal and requiring no ammunition. To the right person, it is also worth a small fortune...

Biography:
There was once a small girl in Thay. When she was born, it was sensed she had a high capability for magic, and she was therefor to be taken from home in order to be trained to be a great member of the Red Wizards. However, not known by her parents, it was the wrong figure that had arrived by the door that day to collect their daughter. It was a dark druid, an evil man, who had hand-picked the little girl to be his sidekick and apprentice. Maybe he was a pedophile as well.

In any case, the druid brought her along and trained her in his art of magic, one that would seem to be the very descriptive of evil. Also, he had her trained for the flexibility to be a ranger as well, and made sure to make her useful in several different ways. Making her forget she ever had parents other than him, the dark druid smiled with glee and pride as he looked at his “daughter”. That was when he started putting her to good use.

Running many a great mission across the land, the girl stole magical items, killed key people and scouted valuable information for the druid. She had become feared as a detached part of him, and the girl was invaluable to the great druid. Obviously, such a mighty individual had a fair choice of people he could command, but this girl had her unique advantages, and she held a fool-hardy belief in that he was the sole man in that girl’s life. He was wrong.

Being a young healthy female, the girl fell in love with a young boy guard in employment of a duke (or something) that she had been tasked to monitor. Despite being a spy, the girl used her powers to approach the boy for simple talking in the form of a very normal girl, and everything seemed to be working. The apprentice druid lived like that for way longer than such a relationship was healthy, and soon a mage that had stopped by felt her presence.

Putting the spy under magical surveillance, the mage, who was a member of the Red Wizards of Thay, tracked down her master through her. Rousing an assault which the druid could not survive when exposed, the Red Wizards and the duke who had been monitored made their moves.

In the midst of the violence, the druid found out what had caused his fall. Cursing the weakness of the girl, the druid threw a number of hexes at her, but she was defended by the very guard she had fallen in love with. Grumbling on the overly romantic scene in front of him which he could not deny was very cute, the druid figured he could just leave the two souls to live happy lives ‘till the end of their days…

But that would kill him, wouldn’t it? No, he’d make sure they could never have peace. With a spell of greater power than the druid had ever manifested, even going so far as using his seven crystals of power channeled through his mighty Crescent Scythe, he killed the boy and froze the girl in time. While freezing her, the druid left a subconscious thought in her mind.

‘RESURRECT ME’

With that, the druid cloaked the girl and lifted her to the roof where hopefully no-one would touch her by mistake. Proud of his last act, the druid turned around just in time to see his doors barged open by the most powerful of the Red Wizards…

Now, so long after, the magic finally started to lose the earlier effect. Awakening to a world where the land of her birth is reduced by naught but ruins, the girl sets out. With her, she holds the Crescent Scythe, the favored weapon of that dark druid who apparently had schooled her in its use using magic before leaving it to her. Due to the huge amount of time frozen, her memory is quite fuzzy and she’s unable to remember much about anything. She remembered all her abilities and spells, but anything about her identity, order anyone has given her or even her name lies forgotten. But no matter, the druid would always be there to make sure she remembered one day.

After all, he's right there beside her.

In the scythe.

oh and question, if skills are rated 1-100, does that mean 50 is average?

Gender: Male
Length: 1.7 m
Weight: 54 kg
Race: Half-Elf
Racial benefits: Relatively agile, slim and lightweight
Appearance


STR: 9
DEX: 16
CON: 7
INT: 17
WIS: 14
CHR: 14

Spells: (Potency rated from 1-100, 100 being the strongest)
(~4-7) Ice Shard: Launches numerous razor sharp slivers of ice. (One sliver = half the length of a #2 pencil.) Water for the ice is collected from the moisture in the air, making it a less viable spell in dry climates.
(~30,50,70) Blizzard Triad: Final-Fantasy style Blizzard-Blizzara-Blizzaga. Forms pillars of ice that encase the target, then shatter with explosive force. Size of ice pillars depend on level of spell. Water for the ice is collected from the moisture in the air, making it a less viable spell in dry climates.
(~14-18) Lightning Bolt: Launches a high voltage 'beam' of electricity. (Width of lightning is about the width of a baseball bat) The electricity travels in the general direction in which the palm was aimed though is relatively inaccurate at extreme ranges. Lightning based spells are more prone to misfires in moist climates, and the electricity can often break off more often than usual to follow trails of moisture.
(~40,60,80) Thunder Triad: Final-Fantasy style Thunder-Thundara-Thundaga. Bolts of lightning fall from the sky and onto the target, rocking the ground with explosive force. Size and number of lightning bolts depend on level of spell. Lightning based spells are more prone to misfires in moist climates, and the electricity can often break off more often to follow trails of moisture. Cannot be used indoors, as lightning must be called from clouds in the sky. As such, spell also cannot be used underground, or in any enclosed area.
(~7-15) Fire Ball: Launches a hot ball of flames at the target. Fire balls range from the size of a baseball to the size of a basketball. Smaller fireballs are prepared faster and move faster. Fire based spells lose heat in cold climates and are often rendered ineffective at preferred ranges.
(~30,50,70) Fire Triad: Final-Fantasy style Fire-Fira-Firaga. Rings of flame envelope the target and close in on him, before erupting outwards with explosive force. Size of rings, intensity of heat, and force of explosion depends on level of spell. Fire based spells lose heat in cold climates and are often rendered ineffective at preferred ranges.
(~5-60) Mana Bolt: Launches an orb of glowing blue, pure magic energy at target. Elementless magic. Relatively easy to cast. Intensity of magic bolt can vary. Range is 15-100 because basic level spell is rated 5, but strength of spell can vary based on magical ability of caster.
Drain: Modified version of a druid spell. Absorbs mana from living creatures rather than plant life. Amount of energy drains depends on the strength of the caster and the length of time in which the caster uses the spell. Very short range, most effective if the caster is actually touching his target. Maximum range, is one arms length away.
(~8-18) Magic Palm: A magic amplified palm strike. Normally used as a enhanced hand to hand combat spell, or when a foe has come way to close for comfort. Atelar prefers to use Palm strikes over common blade attacks.

((All my spells are probably gonna stay under 30 for the beginning))

Skills:
-Running: 35
-Climbing: 30
-Logic: 45
-Jumping: 25 (hindered by lack of athletic ability from being mage, but balanced out by agility as half-elf)
-Stealth: 10 (I mean flashy spells? C'mon, no stealth there)
-Luck: 15
-Pickpocketing: 25
-Lockpicking: 20
-Intimidation: 35 (Bolts of lightning from the sky and torrents of ice needles and fireballs, thats pretty scaryy)

((I know I'm forgetting something so feel free to point it out if you recall what it is.))

Abilities:
-Magic Shield: Create a force field around immediate area of self. Can protect physical and magical attacks. The more powerful the attack, the more drain it places on the caster's magical abilities. Magic Shields reflect the strength of the caster. If say a child caster put up a shield to defend himself from the fist of a greater demon, the fist would easily break through the shield like a knife through hot butter.

((Not really sure what else would be abilities for now))

Armour:
-Traveler's Cloak (9): A simple, worn, cloak
-Cloth Shirt (9): Doesn't really provide protection, but its better than nothing right?
-Scarf (No protection): A warm scarf that Atelar has grown very attached to.
-Heavy Cloth Pants (9): fantasy jeans? Thick and durable, but still not much protection.

Weapons:
-Dagger (1) A plain, rather crudely made dagger that one can find almost anywhere. Especially popular among bandits and footpads.
-Magical Tattoo (No Physical Strength) A peculiar, mystic looking tattoo that is found on both of Atelar's palms. He uses them to amplify and use his magic ability.

Items
-Clothes (see armor section)
-Magical Tattoo (see weapon section)
-Rucksack with basic supplies, 'first aid' kit, etc.
-Bag with Money

Biography:
A City-boy hailing from the dangerous streets of Westgate. Being an orphan for as long as he could remember, he gave himself the name Atelar, and spent most of his childhood in the streets, doing what most urchins did. He stole, he mugged, he begged and he fought. It was pretty rough living for most people in that dirty city. Unfortunately for him, he never was quite lucky, and his bright blond hair didn't serve him well when he needed to blend into the crowds. But he is very quick witted and often manages to think of some plan or another to work out to his own ends. He remained on the streets as a small time thief until he turned 15, and was recruited into the Night Masks.

It was through the Night Masks did he first begin to learn Arcane arts. One of the older, veteran Night Masks was a powerful mage by the name of Hatir. This Hatir noticed Atelar's untapped potential in the magic arts and proceeded to immediately take the young thief under his tutelage. Atelar learned very fast, and soaked up as much knowledge as his mentor could provide. Atelar skipped robberies and other field missions in the city so he could stay in the hideout to pour over the various books that his mentor had 'acquired' through various means. His body gradually shifted away from the lean athletic body it had once been and became the magically inclined body he uses today. However, he often uses his former mobility as a thief to bolster his specially developed hand to hand magic spells.

After 3 years of instruction Atelar's instructor was killed by the leaders of the Night Masks, Orbakh. Atelar wisely took this as a sign that he too should leave before he met the same fate as his mentor. The same night his instructor was assassinated, Atelar took off from Westgate, and fled westwards, until he reached Teziir. Here Atelar took his former instructor's name as his surname.

He remained in Teziir for several months, doing odd jobs, and keeping tabs as best he could on the news going on in Westgate. Knowledge that the Night Masks were looking for him prompted Atelar to continue fleeing, and continued west on the main road until he was come upon by Night Mask horsemen. Using his magic arts to push them back, Atelar ran a good distance off the main road, and by luck came upon a track that led him to the Shining Plains, where he stayed for another week or so, robbing the occasional passerby who took the tracks.

After the week in the plains, (he had turned 19 during that week). He continued on the track southwards until he came upon a road and the city of Lheshayl. It was here, that he heard of a mercenary assignment offering five thousand gold, Five Thousand gold as a reward. Atelar immediately set off for Assam, which he reached about a week later. Completely out of money and supplies at this time, Atelar sold the horse he had stolen to get to Assam, and used this money to get some extra items and supplies before he went to find this gold-giving innkeeper.

Age: 117
Class: Fighter
Gender: Female
Length: 142 cm
Race: High Elf
Racial benefits: Dexterity +1, Constitution -1,
Appearance:



Kaela is a small woman, even by her race's standard. A lifetime spent stooped in caravans and a serious disease in early life left her about twenty centimetres shorter than the rest of her family. Despite this, she has a strong, sturdy frame and a highly acrobatic form, bending and contorting whenever required. She has been known to move like a bird when needed, able to scurry up a tree in order to find a better position to fire her bow from. The small size of her body is a great help when she is trying to remain unseen, even if it does encourage teasing from family and friends. She has the fair hair and skin indicative of High Elves, and pale blue eyes that resemble the sea on a cold, windy day. On both of her hands, she has a tattoo of the symbol of Correlon Latherion, black near her wrists, fading green to her fingertips, surrounding her hands with shifting lines and patterns.

Items: -Clothes:
- Dark grey skirt, designed mostly for manuevrability. Warmth is not a major concern along the Sword Coast-the coldest place is probably Baldur's Gate, and it is well-known as a bad idea to venture into Baldur's Gate without direct business and a large armed posse.
- Earth-brown doublet, with all the protective properties of a rancid tomato.
- Leaf-green cloak, designed to surround the entire body with a hood and blend into a forest from long-distance. Utterly useless in camouflague usages at the sort of ranges you can see someone who stands at less than 150 cm anyway.

-Belt with small collection of weapon-cleaning tools.
-Small book written in Elvish, titled 'Meditations on Travel'.

Gold: 6G, 6S, 7C

Biography: Born into a group of interracial gypsies, Kaela has seen, in her mind 'everything'. Living with a pair of High Elf parents, being educated by an Orc, having the caravans maintained by gnomes and watching halflings pinching things from the pockets of whoever lived in the town they were present in made an interesting, curious child out of Kaela. The customs of the other races had always been mixed with that of others, but the constantly changing gypsy train was a wonderful place to become a woman. Growing up, over the century Kaela's natural trust and niave love of people was replaced with the looming realisation that, despite accempting pretty much every race bar the half-orcs that occasionally wandered into the Sword Coast, not one town from Baldur's Gate to Nashkel wanted gypsies campig outside their town-apparently, all they did was steal and beat up the poor common people in the streets. Even other elves refused to accept them; as such, the roads and forests of the Coast remained her home. Becoming a warrior was almost obligatory; one does not simply 'walk around' an Ankheg or a horde of Gibberlings when twenty heavy wagons and horses storm by.

Her parents, both people of war, had expected her to always be interested in protecting the caravan, and while most parents would have been concerned they were quite pleased that she was so enamoured with the idea of killing people. Kaela became compenent over thirty years of training, managing to balance her softer cultural heritage of performance and enjoying life and song with the natural proficiency she found in making things dead. It was a long tradition amongst her people to leave the caravan when they achieved adulthood, to go and do something important or find something of great aid to the group before returning-and it was the advertisment she found on a bandit's body for five thousand peices of gold to be offered for something-the bottom had been ripped off in a truly inconvenient fashion. Hitchhiking or marching herself most of the way, it was in the early hours of this evening that she arrived in an inn named the 'Traveller's Rest', decked in what she could only describe as opulent fancy. She had been in tents and oddly-painted wooden carts and wagons for her entire life - this was utterly insane by comparison.

FURNITURE, that didn't fold! Madness...

Vietmyke, when using the +1/+2 maxes on stats, it simply means your maximum there is 1/2 higher/lower. So instead of the normal 18 (soft maximum), you could have a max of 19 CHR for example, or even 16 (-2). Means you don't have to actually write these value next to your score, as they only determine the maximum. Oh, and thieves usually have higher DEX (think 16-18). And you might want to use the HE table instead of E.

Also, Arcane doesn't have to be a skill, since you're a mage this would automatically go right. And since you're born in Westgate, where they speak Common (Humans) your Common skill is automatically a 100 (Native speaker) It is only for other languages that you learn later that you use the skill to determine how good you are. So you can remove Common and Arcane and add two new skills if you want
@General, so you can adjust you Elvish too.
