Then he'll get yelled at by a Orcish communist.

You know Karl Marx hasn't even been born yet, right?

Anyway, my sheet has been updated. If we know what we're going to do, can we post in the main thread now?

[Taricus]

He could be one of the precursors...

[Weirdsound]

Alright. I'm lazy, so I'm going to post the descriptions of several NPC's and allow you lot to gen them up. Once an NPC is genned up anybody may take control of said NPC in a battle in which said NPC could reasonably participate. If you gen up an NPC post it here and I will add it to the second or third post of this topic for reference. If an NPC is of a race that I didn't give instructions for just assume they are identical to humans in atribute bonus/penalty, HP, ect. If a skill is mentioned in an NPC's background it is not capped at three.

You can save time by leaving out most of the non-combat skills. These NPC's will be mostly used in battle.

None of your characters know this background information ICly!!

Oliver Castelo Branco: A Sea Elf born to to Portugal's chief ambassador to England. Oliver spent his teenage years committing acts of petty theft around London and begging his father to avert to consequences of his actions. He considers himself a loyal British subject; his allegiance to his native land extends only to his hatred of the Spanish. Oliver is a practiced swashbuckler, having won several fencing tournaments back home, however he is a notoriously bad shot with a rifle or musket. Oliver is secretly a Kleptomaniac.

Julia 'Henry' Castelo Branco: A Sea Elf born to to Portugal's chief ambassador to England. Julia spent her formative years learning to hunt at her fathers countryside estate. She considers herself a loyal British subject, holding her native Portugal in no particularly high regard. She happily helps her brother pick on the Spanish, but bears no real ill will towards them. She, like many females of her kind, impersonated a male to join the navy in order to satisfy her natural compulsion to be as close as possible to the ocean. Julia is a crack shot with guns of any shape or size, but oftens makes herself scarce when combat moves into melee range.

Mayta Goldshores: A young bright elf orphaned at three years of age. The intense sadness and anger over her parents death at the hands of the Dragon Amourox Greenscale unlocked her hidden potential, and by her fourth birthday she was considered a child prodigy in the field of aura manipulation. Her foster family promptly turned her over to the shrine of Myval for proper training. Mayta despises the material nature of reality, and holds any object or action not used to gain spiritual, mental, or emotional enlightenment as nothing short of revolting. Mayta is thourghly devoted to her god Myval.
(Mayta has 10 free skillpoints to spend on the following skills: Pacifier, Leader, Aura Manipulator, Divine Invocation, and Language (Divine). Her native tounge is called Imperial Latin and she gets four points in this skill for free.)

This right? The last one is for the cane-sword, I did not know if you wanted an ability for every weapon or ever kind of weapon.

Also, as the cane itself the  was often used for combat/self defence, should I put it under "melee sidearm" or "misc item"? From what I can gather, it was used both as an off-hand weapon and as a main-hand one. Or I could just not use the cane-part in fights, if you think that's better for the game

Thats a genned character-I didn't know exactly what to with her combat techniques, so I added a melee attack from aura manipulation, and a ranged attack similar to our firearms from Divine Invocation.

I also thought some of her equipment should be summonable. Tell me what ya think!

I'll do the other ones after this.

[Ochita]

She needs less strength, and a little bit more wisdom and charisma.
At her current strength.. She's like you.

[Taricus]

And intelligence.

[Dwarmin]

Well, that depends-Weirdsound said we were building NPCS to be combat capable.

If I was going strictly by roleplaying reasons, she would have very little combat stats at all, probably more of caster, though we don't have stats or information on caster classes yet... Too bad I'm on the escort mission, then, right?

Of course, "child prodigy in the field of aura manipulation" allows me a bit of leeway here...I chose to gen her a !!Aural Warrior Priest!!.

If you want, post your own ideas, and maybe we can mix them together somehow.

[Taricus]

3 in wisdom, one in strength and everything else at 2.

[Dwarmin]

3 in wisdom, one in strength and everything else at 2.

That's four points over the max attribute limit.

Also, Is there any reason you guys don't want an !!Aural Warrior Priest!!? I'd rather have combat NPCs, since only 2/7 of our party is strictly combat centered. Just saying.

[Taricus]

Strength at zero, constitution at 1, Wisdom at three.

And RP purposes. No point defending someone who can defend themselves...

[Dwarmin]

Stop trolling, Taricus.

Unless Weirdsound goes ahead and directly says i'm bodyguarding a 5 hitpoint wonder, I suggest the stats I made be used.

[SeriousConcentrate]

She strikes me as a bit of a ditz, so she probably has little in the way of physical stats but a fairly high charisma. Just my opinion.

[scriver]

I don't think an Aural Warrior Priest should rely on physical attributes anyway. Her power should lie in her faith and her magic

[Dwarmin]

But, she's a "child prodigy in the field of aura manipulation"! I assumed that enchanced her physical stats in battle.

How about we give her an abilty...

Combat Aura-When in battle, Mayta loses six points in Charisma, and gains three each in strength and constitution. When battle is completed, that stats revert to their orginal numbers, and any health she lost is adjusted percentage wise to her original health.

Edit: @Scriver: If I could make her a caster, I would. We've got no information on that yet.
