My favourite beggar

I created Bala Vinsk as a steadings girl who ran away from her family to escape marriage and as my goal for the PC was to be influenced by everything around her. Pretty much all she had the old crossbow she used to help defend the farm, she ran away to burgage/ward and enlisted  Orza as Arbalester, the only thing she was good at. Then was converted by Ishmael and lived under his influence for a bit, while influenced by Oskar Thorne's gangster boss stile, also engaging Changellings hunts hate. Then by Lufoff,  converted to "the all" and fate, getting addicted to alcohol and smokes, while going out and about with Trea Kingsley. Then kidnapped by Mongrel folks and Werewolf shaman, mongrelrized. Then all her new "pack" got killed. And I got bored of just hide and hunt for ganking, as I saw no prospect of plot stuff, and 'going out with a bang' would be prejudicial and would accomplish nothing. So, she now just roams the woods hunting to survive. It was fun while it lasted. Retired!
Thanks for everyone who made this experience fun, you know who you are! I might have to dig for cool screenshots, might post later (likely won't)

⚒THE SONS OF IRON⚒



The Sons of Iron are paragon dwarves, meant to be the heroes of their kin. Each Son tends to represent one facet of what being a Dwarf means, some more for the honor, others more for the ale, others for runes, others for wealth, and so on. As such, they thrive to right the wrongs done by some Ancestors, such as in the 94th, and have the whole package: They toil in the mines like no dwarves in ancient Gathol Zirin, the forge said to almost run on its own, by the very hands and pickaxes of some Ancestors themselves, who are happy to collect their due in gold, jewelry, gemstones, magic and ale, filling the Vaults within the mines. With current events taking the Sons focus towards Little Tickertown and the Peerage, comes great opportunities for involvement in all sorts of plots, which is what is happening right now, ranging from the 92nd to 100th. Be a fully committed Son of Iron, former Golden Grinner, a fanatic or simply an "Ironjack", most dwarves can fit in.

With their only good two hander taken from them (quarterstaff) , I think even at a balance point of view it would solve a problem.

Just as Scumlord Spiffy said, Wizards who never wizard, we can say the same about barbarians who don't get angry, just push a button to self buff, bards who don't sing nor do anything art related, druids, paladins, the list goes on ... Even fighters have place for carefully thought RP, like, portraying all those years of training and discipline... The amount of RP and flavor is up to the player, and I don't think it should be policed, as Scumlord Spiffy, some people just want to chill, and they should be left alone. On the other hand, what should be done, is already done naturally, is recognition from DMs and fellow  players to those who portray their PCs in a flavorful manner, sometimes even earning them XP or loot or notoriety, etc.

Same goes for dwarf, there's hood models for them as well.

From where I stand this is a great suggestion because it always bothered me to see people swinging large hammers and shooting arrows underwater. Fighting and doing anything underwater is supposed to be an extra challenge, for everyone, harder to cast spells, harder for the archers who have to draw their knives, it should also be harder on the mace swinging guy, who could just draw his favorite bootknife. There's a reason water related concepts involve harpoons, spears and tridents, and it would be nice to have it reflected mechanically.

b) A 4/6 perk that just gives you Weapon Finesse

If we think of the "value" of a feat, rogues get Shield Proficiency as a Rogue minor perk, at level 4. Weapon Finesse can be a rogue minor perk to be taken at 4 or 6.

my 2 cents.

Very cool dude, one of Andrick's unlikely friends, awesome arena fight we had too. Nice pleasant Glitt guy

Orzan to even his bitter end. 4 assassination attempts?  ;D

Hah, well, that is a bit exaggerated I think, but truly one attempt at Aatish and one at Malik. :)

Andrick was a delight to play.  I thought  a lot about this PC before making him, I read all I could on forums about Orza, and I wanted to make a good representative of it, but still, a bit different. A well spoken and clever fighter, trying his hand at politics, who would get too passionate and reckless most of the time. I'll post here the two first entries of his efuss comments, which were made to introduce the PC to DMs OOCly:

[Andrick is in his prime and he is out to play! Finally managed to join Orza, which has always been his dream ever since he was awakened as a child. A street-shiv self trained prodigy, always inspired by the Gutter Knives, Butchers and Orza. However graceful and even plastic his knivery skills have become, subtlety was never Andrick's thing, and now in the new life among Peers, he aims to sharpen another weapon for his collection, a silvertongue.

PERSONALITY:
A man capable of murder and worse, in the name of friendship. Talented with words and knivery, no backstabbing, but rather facing the foe by feinting, dodging, taunting, plastic graceful moves. The predisposition to take risks is to overcome fear, a constant struggle to be brave, self-conscious about cowardice, overcompensation by intimidation, defying. He craves for love, trying to captivate with boldness and style. Highly susceptible to influence of friends, buying any mildly reasonable idea, he will do it all for those he loves, careless of any consequence. Sly smiles and friendly smirks to win people's hearts, assuring eyes to win their trust, Andrick is loyal to two entities: Orza and friends, the house being his best friend, ever grateful and proud about becoming a bannerman of such force in the Ward.

The PC himself had no clear goals, aside from impress everyone, make  a lot of friends, and get benefits from that. My goals for the PC was for him to be one to embrace his friends goals, and fight for them, even risking his life and jeopardizing the friend's plan for being too reckless.

Don't expect great screenshots, I'm one of those who doesn't take them when he should. There's some loot, I might post the screenshot here later if I manage to get it.










The list of thanks would be too great, the DM and player base  in general is amazing, my apologies if I've gone too far on certain occasion, and I'll be around with a new character soon!

Rogue out

Nicely done

Cool stuff
