Because I don't think gingerbread or candy for that matter was something that Norsemen were able to make, given the fact they barely got by with how little food they have, candy and such seems to be a luxury they cannot have...

Regardless, is up to Tawa. Personally, I think it's too much. I know some people play like this, and I've met a guy who did so and that's how he found his way to have fun. But remember, this is supposed to be a less epic adventure; most of the people here are going for flavour over power. Hell, I'm going two weapon fighter rather than the preferred bunny thumper or ranged ranger, which is what most people see a ranger as if they want to be usable

They (flavor and power) aren't mutually exclusive, y'know. Personally, I prefer to build the mechanical side of my character first, then build their backstory and such around my mechanical skeleton.

Also, Tawa said/implied that goofier characters would be fine in the OP. If I've gone a bit too far, please tell me, and I'll try to tone it down a bit.

He actually said no joke/purely smashy characters. Whether this bizarre hybrid of yours falls under that heading is up to him.

Oh. Well, that might become an issue. I mean, I planned to fluff it as merely dabbling in pastrymancy, but it still might be a problem. I suppose I'll just wait for Word-of-Tawa, and replace the Gingerbread Witch archetype with another one that I've had my eye on if it gets rejected.

This is set in Not!Scandinavia not the Kingdom of Loathing

So no
In other news, since we've had four good submissions for a few days, I'm setting the deadline for starting the game at Friday. If you haven't already, please have your characters completely done (crunch and backstory both) by then.

Welp.

Back to the drawing-board, I guess.

Can you think of anything I need to change/add to my sheet, Tawa? Bits of equipment that a divine spellcaster might find useful, perhaps?

I could pimp out your holy symbol for you, if you'd like.

Might wanna put your age on your sheet.

Otherwise, might want to look into gear that will work with flavouring your inquisitor, from things like a book of lore or the Poetic Edda (aka Norse bible (if it isn't 50gp like it is in other editions)) to simple things like a hat or paper to write things

[Tawa]

Yeah, outside of your age and trinkets you want to invest in, I think you're good to go, Sirus.

[Sirus]

Out of curiosity, what ages are others going for? I don't think I'll want to be way older or way younger than the party average and I'm also not entirely certain what the Vikings considered "adult age".

I've got 94gp to work with at the moment. The problem is that I've never run a divine caster and I'm not certain what they need to work with reasonable effectiveness. A component pouch, perhaps? I already took a Holy Symbol of Thor.

[Harry Baldman]

22 for me. I think you can assume that, if male, you're effectively an adult at 14 to 16 or so.

[highmax28]

16 is adult male age in Viking age, and I think 12 for women. I picked 18 because he spent two extra years training before he deemed himself ready to try and make a name for himself

[SOLDIER First]

I picked 24 because I wanted to seem Old.

[edit] In hindsight this seems a little silly, so I could probably just say he quit the Business^TM after an injury?

Ew. Well I'm sure as hell not making a 12-year-old

I imagine that religious studies would take a good deal of time, especially if combat training is involved as well. Add in a period of time spent in service of a more senior priest perhaps and I think 20 is about the oldest Gunnvor can go and still feasibly be level 1.

I say 12 because 12 is when most women were deemed of age to marry. Shield maidens and the like are probably older, but most women marry by 20 according to what I looked up.

Being a religious inquisitor though, I'm pretty sure that's the best reason to ignore what I found
