Dice The Shattered Soul - Characters

[Silanon]

The main characters of our story - feel free to get your character sheets in here once you're done. I'll add the information for character creation here later on, just in case it's needed in the future.

Spoiler: Character creation info dump

Point-buy with 20 pts - 16/16/10x4 is a possible statline, but officially discouraged.

Start at level 1, level-up via milestones, not exp.

Classes: from the core rulebook or alchemist - if you want something else, ask. Stay close to the core rulebook.

Deities: All of the standard Pathfinder deities are fair game, in principle.Anything else? Just ask, and maybe we can make it happen. Thexy will have limited support, though.

Alignment: Good, lawful-neutral, or neutral with an agenda that I can get behind - i.e. one that keeps you involved in the story. At least a limited amount of moral flexibility is recommended - as a guideline: If you can stand in the same room with a cleric of Asmodeus without trying to kill him immediately, you're likely good to go. Bonus points if you can begrudgingly work with them for a time if the situation requires it. Crusader-like characters are fun, but might take away options from the group in certain scenarios.

Average starting money for everyone.

No traits.



And - information for starting characters, copied from several posts in the conversation (for more information on Lord Jordenin, see the Lore tab):

You will start in the service of a minor lord, and have been there for at least half a year. That time has been rather uneventful, at least until the story starts - it's been a pretty easy job, and whether you're there for first experiences, for easy cash or to get away from elsewhere, you've probably not been too disappointed. Well, unless you where there for action, because they say that "nothing ever happens in the Barony of Roots" for a reason, apparently.

You all have - for some time - been guests of Lord Jordenin. He invited you to live in his guest house - a small room for each of you, plus access to basic necessities. Naturally, you will have run into each other at least a few times, and every character will be familiar with the very basics of each other. Any more than that is up to you. As an example, everyone will know that Amber has a pretty close connection with Lord Jordenin - unless she's happy to share the story, they won't know that it all started with burglary. But they'll have figured out that she's agile, good with weapons, and not a priestess of Abadar. As another example, everyone will know that Dreamy serves Desna, and that Thomas devoted his live to serving Pharasma; but they probably won't know about Dreamy's exact origin, or any details about the Silver Shields. Does that help?

This means that in some instances, your characters will know more than you do. I'll try to put those things into my post, but don't hesitate to ask if you feel like they should know something that's not included. They'll probably know it.

You are all expected to be familiar enough with lord Jordenin that he'd ask a favor of you when he needs it. You are not expected to do so for free.

  Feats
  Cleave
  You can strike two adjacent foes with a single swing.
  
  As a standard action, you can make a single attack at your full base attack bonus against a foe within reach. If you hit, you deal damage normally and can make an additional attack (using your full base attack bonus) against a foe that is adjacent to the first and also within reach. You can only make one additional attack per round with this feat. When you use this feat, you take a -2 penalty to your Armor Class until your next turn.
  
  Power Attack
  You can make exceptionally deadly melee attacks by sacrificing accuracy for strength.
  
  You can choose to take a -1 penalty on all melee attack rolls and combat maneuver checks to gain a +2 bonus on all melee damage rolls. This bonus to damage is increased by half (+50%) if you are making an attack with a two-handed weapon, a one-handed weapon using two hands, or a primary natural weapon that adds 1-1/2 times your Strength modifier on damage rolls. This bonus to damage is halved (-50%) if you are making an attack with an off-hand weapon or secondary natural weapon. When your base attack bonus reaches +4, and every 4 points thereafter, the penalty increases by -1 and the bonus to damage increases by +2. You must choose to use this feat before making an attack roll, and its effects last until your next turn. The bonus damage does not apply to touch attacks or effects that do not deal hit point damage.
  
  Shield of Swings
  A wild frenzy of attacks serves to bolster your defenses.
  
  When you take a full-attack action while wielding a two-handed weapon, you can choose to reduce the damage by 1/2 to gain a +4 shield bonus to AC and CMD until the beginning of your next turn. This reduction in damage applies until the beginning of your next turn.

  Aysik is the second son of Lord Rodrick Vaysel, a low noble and good family friend to the Lord Jordenin. Since Aysik's older brother was the one being groomed to take their father's place at the head of the table, it has left Aysik free to leave home for a time and be an adventurer.
  
  To begin his training, Aysik decided to spend his first few years on his own in the local military garrison, learning the way of the sword and keeping himself alive in the field. After his short stint, he decided that the army life, while a good one, was just not what he had planned for his future, and he elected not to re-up his enlistment.
  
  Traveling back towards home, Aysik stops to visit Lord Jordenin, and laments his lack of forward focus. Being a kind soul, Jordenin offers Aysik the chance to work for his household, giving him the chance to continue his adventuring lifestyle and earn some good coin in the process. It didn't take Aysik long to agree, and so he now finds himself on Lord Jordenin's payroll.

  Proficiencies
  Armor Proficiency - Light
  Rogue Weapon Proficiencies
  Simple Weapon Proficiency - All
  
  Feats
  Two Weapon Fighting
  You can fight with a weapon wielded in each of your hands. You can make one extra attack each round with the secondary weapon.
  
  Your penalties on attack rolls for fighting with two weapons are reduced. The penalty for your primary hand lessens by 2 and the one for your off hand lessens by 6. See Two-Weapon Fighting in Chapter 8.
  Normal: If you wield a second weapon in your off hand, you can get one extra attack per round with that weapon. When fighting in this way you suffer a –6 penalty with your regular attack or attacks with your primary hand and a –10 penalty to the attack with your off hand. If your offhand weapon is light, the penalties are reduced by 2 each. An unarmed strike is always considered light.
  
  Weapon Finesse
  You are trained in using your agility in melee combat, as opposed to brute strength.
  
  With a light weapon, rapier, whip, or spiked chain made for a creature of your size category, you may use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier on attack rolls. If you carry a shield, its armor check penalty applies to your attack rolls.
  
  Class Abilities
  Sneak Attack
  If a character can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from her attack, she can strike a vital spot for extra damage.
  
  The character's attack deals extra damage anytime her target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when the character flanks her target. Should the character score a critical hit with a sneak attack, this extra damage is not multiplied. Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet.
  
  With a weapon that deals nonlethal damage (like a sap, whip or an unarmed strike), a character can make a sneak attack that deals nonlethal damage instead of lethal damage. She cannot use a weapon that deals lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage in a sneak attack, not even with the usual -4 penalty.
  
  The character must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vial spot and must be able to reach such a spot. A character cannot sneak attack while striking a creature with concealment.
  
  Trapfinding
  A rogue adds 1/2 her level on Perception checks to locate traps and on Disable Device checks (minimum +1). A rogue can use Disable Device to disarm magic traps.
  
  Rogue Talents Wish List
  Combat Trick - Gain a bonus Combat Feat (Dodge - lvl 2)
  Weapon Training - Gain the Weapon Focus Feat
  Trap Spotter - Gain a Perception roll within 10 feet of a trap
  Powerful Sneak - Count all 1's as 2's on Sneak Attack dice
  Fast Picks - Pick a lock as a standard action
  Hairpin Trick - No penalty using improvised thieves tools, Masterwork tool bonus +4
  Offensive Defense - Gain dodge bonus against targets hit by your Sneak Attack

  Amber grew up on the mean streets of the city, her family scraping by in the very lowest level of poverty. When she was still a very young girl, the waif found companionship in the arms of other street kids, and the scamps formed up into a small street gang to help protect and care for one another.
  
  Once Amber hit the age of 15, she started to plot about the idea of breaking into the home of Lord Jordenin's house and stealing some of the valuable stuff that he just had to have in there. She moved in the middle of the night, thinking that this would be a score that would set the gang up for months on easy street. Using her lock picks, she slipped into the large house and found herself in a room absolutely filled with books.
  
  Her curiosity flaring, she begins to look over the stacks of books with interest, losing track of time until she hears a quiet voice behind her, suggesting that it would be better to starts with Ricton's "Basics on alchemy". The sudden surprise slowed her down enough for the old man with a candle - probably on the way to his reading room despite the late hour - to get more words in. Words that, eventually, led to a warm meal.
  
  Showing some mercy on Amber, he decides to not call for the constables to have the young thief arrested, but instead takes her on as one of his many projects to bring her up and reach for the potential he can see in her. Over the next several years, Amber has learned how to read, and now she also has learned how to speak the delicate language of the elves. She no longer sees Lord Jordenin as a rich meal ticket, but instead considers him to be more of a father figure, and she works hard to make him proud of her.

  Name and why she goes by Dreamy: Lady Aerdreamifafalierie ("aer-DREAMI-fa-fal-ee-er-ee") Alystraea (Ah-LISS-tree-ah") Asiyanithe ("ahs-ee-YAWN-ith-ay") the First. Also known as Acolyte Dreamy of Desna. =) "Really. Feel free to just call me Dreamy!"
  Alignment: Chaotic Good
  Class: Paladin (will also become a Cleric at 2nd level)
  Greeting: "Hi, I'm Dreamy of Desna! I'll be nice if you will!"
  Title: Champion of Desna
  Favored Classes: Cleric and Paladin (Desna calls her Paladins Champions)
  Favored Class Bonuses: Skill Points for both Classes (needed for Spherewalker Prestige Class)!
  Race: Half-Elven (Aquatic elf and human - a "shore-born" as the Aquatic Elves would say).
  Deity: Desna, Goddess of stars, dreams, liberation, and travel. More here.
  Level: 1st
  Size: Medium
  Age: 69 (only two and a half weeks from her 70th birthday!)
  Gender: Female
  Height: 5 feet, 10 inches.
  Build: Very healthy, strong-limbed, and athletic.
  Eyes: Starry blue.
  Hair: Often kept braided or in a pony-tail while adventuring. Sunny blonde, long, free, and unruly when Dreamy during her days off.
  Physical disposition: She is clearly a Sea Half-elf for those who know what they are. A blood-stirringly attractive young woman without any ugly vanity, Dreamy moves with sureness and great energy. She often possesses a youthful dreamer's air of curiosity and wonder.
  Emotional disposition: Curious, silly, and sassy. Affectionate, honest, loyal, and free-spirited. Dreamy is also dedicated, faithful, and sometimes stubborn. Sometimes she finds it hard to let bad things go. She has a serious sense of justice mixed with open-mindedness.
  Place of Birth: The Undersea city called Twilight Reaches (doesn't that sound like a cool place to come from?)
  Hobbies: Singing (trained in Elfish opera; likes a variety of music), swimming, reading (especially fairy tales), exploring, meditating, sunbathing.
  Character Concept: One of many kids born of a pair of highly successful Bards who retired in the Undersea. Now she wants her shot at living the kind of life her parents lived. Desna, the dreaming goddess of stars and travel, seems to provide the best path for her personal liberation and desire to help the needy. So Dreamy walks under the stars living her life her own way.
  Likes: Water, hugs and cuddling, just about anything involving quality music, learning, discovery, love in general, puppies, sea cats.
  Dislikes: Bigots, narcissists, hypocrites, bullies, slavers, really stinky things.

• 
  Character Background: Dreamy is the daughter of a tremendously successful pair of adventurers (both Bards), one sea elven, the other human. Her father and mother took their music beneath the ocean and became household names in and around their Undersea nation. Chasing their band's success, they lived and loved and performed for decades on end and became two of the best musicians of their time. Dreamy lived the life of a minor celebrity. Her ten siblings still do.
  
  Dreamy possesses a pleasant, powerful, and enduring voice. Her parents recognized this early on and Dreamy was trained in Elfish opera-style singing. Her parents explained to her, "if you can sing opera well, most other styles of song come easier. So start at the top!" Her human mother is now in her elderly years. Dreamy and she have made their peace that they might not meet again in this life, but still, each must follow their own path to self-liberation.
  
  A lifelong lover of the stars and heavens, Dreamy told her family of her wish to live on the surface world and adventure there to be closer to the stars and needy people. She wanted to travel! Her family lovingly backed her in this though a few of her siblings (and fans) simply failed to understand her desires.
  
  Dreamy, a novice paladin/cleric loyal to Desna, having given away nearly all of her physical possessions that remind her of her old life, sets off with Desna on her adventurers feeling as free as the stars themselves!
  
  Tidbits (Short-term goals):
  1. Ask Lord Jordenin about his hip injury. Done!
  2. Learn Perform (String Instruments) so she can add accompaniment to her music. Plus, buy a mandolin with a case.
  3. Purchase/copy maps of the area, the more detailed, the better.
  
  Little Adventures (Character long-term Goals):
  1. To return the ancient elven locket and its matching diary to the family of the sunken vessel, The Rascal.
  
  Spoiler: Goal #1 - The Sea's Revenge

  (Mood music for me to write to.) =)
  
  Dreamy was there the night The Rascal took on water and sunk beneath the waves. The pirate frigate, laden with loot and plunder, was heavier than she was meant to be when her reckless captain took her into storm-tossed seas. The crew could not keep her together and down she went to the bottom, all hands lost.
  
  It was then that the people of the Twilight Reaches, Dreamy among them, made their way out to the battered ship and found that the vessel had a single hidden compartment magically shut. No amount of force or strength seemed to be able to open it. But these were Sea Elves, well-versed in the mysteries of the deep and those who sailed the waves far above. Soon, they gained entry.
  
  The compartment was a single room; a water-tossed mess. Here were the sad remains of modestly-clad surface elf, her staff broken, her spellbook long eaten away by the years and the water, her dear familiar now naught but bones, her wrists and feet chained to an iron table from which she never escaped.
  
  Before her, clutched in her arms, was a waterproof book - a richly-bound magically-locked journal or diary from the look of things. An intricate bronze locket dangling about her neck that clearly matched it.
  
  The Sea Elves of Twilight Reaches decided not to open it, indeed they did not even try, out of respect for this lady's family whose name was scratched into the table by the elf's time-bitten dagger, along with a passionate message.
  
  In tortured Elven, the dagger's marks spelled out these words: "My time is done. Bring you these to [place of DM's choice]. Knock five times upon the door of my family, House Felarain, that they might know their daughter is gone, her quest and The Rascal doomed with her. May the greed of my foul captors sink them all to the very bottom!"
  
  When the Sea Elves learned of Dreamy's desire to leave the blessed city and venture on the dry uncertain world above, her parents asked her to take on this task. With the intense love Dreamy has for her family, her kin, and her country, how could the young Cleric of Desna say no?
  
  2. To recover and perform some of the lost music and dances of Desna from the ruins of her abandoned temple in [DM's discretion].
  
  Spoiler: Goal #2 - Liberation under starlight

  (Mood music for me to write to.) =)
  
  The small and humble Desnan temple in Twilight Reaches was one of the few places in all the realm where Dreamy could go without being recognized for being one of the children of two legendary bards.
  Her parents and the priests told Dreamy of a strange and far-off Desnan temple that had long sat under the stars on the surface world only to have fallen into disuse as Desna's followers traveled on until even the last was gone.
  
  But they left behind what they could not carry. In the Desnan temple in the Twilight Reaches, it is writ that in the cellars of the lost temple is a wall filled with stars. Along with that tale is writ: "The fourth is married to the fifth who is divorced from the second. The eighth is joined to the third who has naught to do with the tenth. The seventh and the ninth are intertwined but the first wanders alone. When the married are together and the loners are left alone, see to the sixth. It alone will lead the way. Weal, joy, and liberation to those who arrange these, and woe to those who do not listen to this but instead foolishly fumble without Her dreams and stars to guide them."
  
  According to the legend in the Twilight Reaches, this cellar likely contains old songs, vocal pieces, and dances written for the stars and for Desna's pleasure! How Dreamy would love to make copies of these and perform them for all to see!
  
  3. "Uncle Augothos's Walking Stick"
  
  Spoiler: Goal #3 - To carry on a legacy

  (Mood music for me to write to.) =)
  
  Dreamy's parents and their company were incredible adventurers! They had cheated death more times than there were notes in some of their songs!
  
  Many of their performances and songs were tributes to fallen friends and foes, great travels to distant lands and new cultures that never failed to satisfy the heart and open the mind, and thrilling tales epics told by those who had lived them firsthand and survived!
  
  So it was that Dreamy learned of Augothos Thunderfoot, Dreamer of Desna - the big-bellied dwarven Barbarian/Druid for whom all the world was just one ever-changing journey to the next! Quick to laugh and just as quick to rage, Augothos was a true friend on and off the battlefield.
  
  As part of Dreamy's parent's adventuring company, they had known him well in life and were there when he finally left it (to old age! What adventurer could ask for more?!). Many were the tales they had shared under the glittering stars with songs of joy and sorrow, regret and compromise, defeats to learn from and victories to cherish! No monster had defeated him, for he had passed on naturally!
  
  But Augothos had but one regret - that after not decades, but two entire centuries of adventures, travels, and a life fully lived, he had no worthy follower of Desnan to pass down his ever-faithful "walking stick" to. No mere twig in the woods, this was one of the Spherewalker Staves and among the oldest!
  
  "Uncle Augothos's Walking Stick" had seen more lands, more planes of existence, more cultures, battles, wars, and more times of peace than many an entire adventuring company, and yet, when he passed, he was the only Desnan he knew who could make use of it. He was also the last in his family line. What was he to do?
  
  As he loved Dreamy's parents, Augothos was also something of an uncle to little Dreamy. He had joked once in Dreamy's company when she was but a bouncy little dancing girl that she should "come over sometime" and "get all of my stuff," while waving his cherished walking stick and adding, "Perhaps you could use this when you grow up?"
  
  But that was long ago. Now the staff lies safely entombed with Augothos in his very own mausoleum in [DM's discretion] where the walls are inscribed with his greatest travels and most intrepid tales.
  
  In Dreamy's diary, her parents have written the way to get there along with a special magical message to any who might doubt her claim to it. But it has been decades. Is "Augothos's Walking Stick" still there lying beside his well-dressed bones? If it is, it's very likely not going anywhere.
  
  In time, Dreamy would like to see for herself and, if the stars are willing, carry on in her uncle's legacy with his favorite walking stick in hand.

  AURA OF GOOD (Ex)
  The power of a paladin's aura of good (see the detect good spell) is equal to her paladin level.
  
  DETECT EVIL (Sp)
  At will, a paladin can use detect evil, as the spell. A paladin can, as a move action, concentrate on a single item or individual within 60 feet and determine if it is evil, learning the strength of its aura as if having studied it for 3 rounds. While focusing on one individual or object, the paladin does not detect evil in any other object or individual within range.
  
  SMITE EVIL 1/DAY (Su)
  Once per day, a paladin can call out to the powers of good to aid her in her struggle against evil. As a swift action, the paladin choses one target within sight to smite. If this target is evil, the paladin adds her Charisma bonus (if any_ to her attack rolls and adds her paladin level to all damage rolls made against the target of her smite. If the target of smite evil is an outsider with the evil subtype, an evil-aligned dragon, or an undead creature, the bonus to damage on the first successful attack increases to 2 points of damage per level the paladin possesses. Regardless of the target, smite evil attacks automatically bypass any DR the creature might possess.
  
  In addition, while smite evil is in effect, the paladin gains a deflection bonus equal to her Charisma modifier (if any) to her AC against attacks made by the target of the smite. If the paladin targets a creature that is not evil, the smite is wasted with no effect.
  
  The smite evil effect remains until the target of the smite is dead or the next time the paladin rests and regains her uses of this ability. At 4th level, and at every three levels thereafter, the paladin may smite evil one additional time per day, as indicated on Table 3-11, to a maximum of seven times per day at 19th level.

  (From Conversation. Sil sez, "I dislike the idea of a strict code for a Desnan worshipper, I feel like she's the kind of goddess to rely on intuition, not strict rules. That said, I think the edicts and anathemas give a good idea of what i have in mind when I think of Desna - but other than that, it's mostly a matter of personal interpretation (as in "Dreamy's interpretation")."
  
  

  Code of the Champion of Desna

  Respects other people's way of life as long as it is not evil or tyrannical in nature.

  Defends the downtrodden.

  Helps the innocent and helpless in immediate need of protection and/or support (provided they do not support evil or tyranny).

  Acts as an example of goodness and unoppressive freedom.

  
  

  Desna's Edicts	Aid fellow travelers, explore new places, express yourself through art and song, find what life has to offer.

  Description​

  Specifically constructed for samurai, katanas employ multiple types of steel combined in a distinctive forging process. The result are swords noted for their wickedly sharp yet slender, gently curved blades, designed to make graceful hacking strokes capable of severing opponents’ heads and limbs. Though finely balanced, these blades are difficult to master. Characters can use a katana two-handed as a martial weapon, but must take the Exotic Weapon Proficiency (katana) feat to use it one-handed.
  
  A starknife called "Diamond." Dreamy likes to ask, "Do you like diamonds?" as she hurls it. The starknife has tiny musical notes (to the beginning of the song, "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" to those who can read music) along its surface.

By gripping the crossbar that runs through the weapon’s open middle, a wielder can strike with it as a deadly melee weapon. Alternatively, by gripping it by the outer rim, a starknife’s light, aerodynamic design allows it to be thrown short distances in a manner similar to a chakram.

  Description​

  A sling is little more than a leather cup attached to a pair of strings. Your Strength modifier applies to damage rolls when you use a sling, just as it does for thrown weapons. You can fire, but not load, a sling with one hand. Loading a sling is a move action that requires two hands and provokes attacks of opportunity.
  
  A sling fires sling bullets. You can hurl ordinary stones with a sling, but stones are not as dense or as round as bullets. Thus, such an attack deals damage as if the weapon were designed for a creature one size category smaller than you and you take a –1 penalty on attack rolls.

As for the additional requirement: Don't think there's a need for any workarounds, now that I know that it's a thing you're interested in. If Dreamy somewhat actively seeks such places - and you maybe remind me of it when we're closer to level 7, just in case I lose track of it - we'll get there naturally in time."

  Roleplaying Inspirations (little notes about Dreamy)
  1. Dreamy's voice is remarkable and memorable, but her scream is unmistakable. If something does go so far as to frighten her to shrieking, there will be no denying who it is. This is only amplified by her opera training.
  
  2. Dreamy loves singing. She's an opera-trained soprano. She's made it part of her daily meditations to Desna. It's probably the bard in her handed down from her parents. When her parents gave her the choice which route in music, Dreamy decided on Elfish opera. She figured if she could perform that well, many other forms of singing would not be as challenging. One day, she would like to learn some stringed instrument to accompany her vocals and give her fingers something to do when they're not expressing themselves to music. She'd like to learn dancing too.
  
  3. Dreamy wouldn't make a bad party leader, although there are better choices out there, I'm sure. She's wise enough to take that step back and assess a situation and confident enough in herself to issue commands. What she lacks is experience. But lacking experience in anything she is interested in is just adding fuel to her fires - she wants to learn and is naturally very curious. So... if the party wants a leader and recommends her, she'd be up for giving it a shot. She is the kind of person to warn people that she is going to make mistakes, but she'll also learn from them.
  
  4. She loves water, loves stars, loves dreaming, loves music, and everything even remotely beautiful to her in life including life itself. She doesn't like bossy or messy people. Bigots turn her off immediately as do dishonest people.
  
  5. Dreamy hasn't been on the surface world for any great amount of time. As such, she's had a handful of adventures "top-side" and is eager for more. She has really been bitten by the same bug that bit her parents back in their earlier years. She sees a whole new realm to explore (along with her Player who knows very little about the world or even its name). =)
  
  6. At first, I had Dreamy being really protective of her home, but then again, I thought why? I think it would be more fun if Dreamy were to use phrases and traits she gained from living there.

  Musical Inspirations
  This song helped me through the many hours I took to go from Pathfinder Dreamy v1.0 to Dreamy, Champion of Desna v1.4 =)
  
  Spoiler: Gran Canaria

  Instrumental "Gran Canaria" by the fantastic Brothertiger!
  
  
  Either I can try to grab music that's proper of the time period that I have no emotional connection to or I can grab songs of Real Life that I do have emotional connection to. For that reason, I think of the band that Dreamy's parents belong to as playing most like the band, Yes. This is Dreamy's favorite song with the last four lines being a prayer to Desna. She loves to sing this song.
  
  Spoiler: Hearts

  "Hearts" by Yes
  
  
  Dreamy is opera-trained soprano with a hell of a lot of power and endurance for a voice as young as hers. Being nearly 70 years old, she's been singing now for probably about 65 of them. When she is practicing her opera singing, she sings songs like Helene Boksle's.
  
  Spoiler: Bifröst

  "Helene Bøksle - Bifröst (official video)"
  
  
  I can imagine Dreamy singing this - she has the range and she believes in the lyrics enough to sing them to Desna. After all, it's a great song about dreams! =)
  
  Spoiler: Silent Lucidity

  "Queensryche - Silent Lucidity (Official Music Video)"
  
  
  This is a peek into Twilight Reaches if Twilight Reaches were Florida back in the 1970-80s. This is this as close as I can get to the atmosphere where Dreamy was raised. Just imagine all a manner of fantasy races, underwater scenery, and giant sea cats instead of ATVs! Wheee!
  
  Spoiler: Inside Illumination

  "Hibou - Inside Illumination"
  
  
  This is about as close as I can come to Dreamy's mom - Nancy Wilson from Heart. =)

  Name: Fijit Onzizli
  Alignment: Neutral Good (tending toward Chaotic Good).
  Class: Alchemist
  Favored Class: Alchemist
  Race: Gnome
  Deity: Shelyn
  Level: 1st
  Size: Small
  Age: 42
  Gender: Female
  Height: 3 feet exactly
  Build: Slim and angular, almost gawky, like a wading bird
  Eyes: Green onion (hex code #6AA121)
  Hair: Very dark iris purple-blue (hex code #110038)
  Skin: Rather pinkish peach (hex code #ffcfbe)
  Place of Birth: One of the free cities on the coast
  Hobbies: Crafting potions, tatting lace, embroidery, cooking (she favors hearty stews and fluffy crusty breads)
  Character Concept: Ever inquisitive, generally cheerful and having a positive outlook on life (despite the occasional alchemical mishap -- the next one is sure to work!), Fijit doesn't like to be still or sedentary except when pursuing her passions calls for it. Then, she's capable of an intense focus surprising to those who see only the "fijity" side of her nature.
  
  
  Spoiler: Picture

  

  
  (image credit: Found on Pinterest, no other source known at this time)
  
  Character Background: Fijit's parents, successful merchants in their homeland, came to this continent with the intent of making new contacts for trade, but found the varied cultures intriguing enough to stick around once these were acquired, and now live in one of the coastal free cities as a sort of broker between their homeland, the merchant vessels on the sea, and assorted trader caravans on land. Fijit herself fell in love with the possibilities of alchemy from an early age and pestered her parents into finding her a teacher. As she supplemented her pesterings with half-successful experiments borne from books found randomly in the marketplace, her parents soon saw the advantages of proper instruction and complied with due haste. However, her dislike of keeping still soon led to a desire to explore outside the city, and she decided that the life of an adventurer would hone her skills in a manner more to her liking than "studying stuffy tomes all day." Her wandering feet (and Lord Jordenin's reputation as a scholar) led her to Roots, where she remains at present. Of course, it's probably only a matter of time until she decides to go wandering again, but until then she's happy to be here.
  
  
  Spoiler: Answering Dann's questions

  1. How does your character handle themselves in public?
  2. How are they dressed?
  3. What can one tell about the gear they carry?
  4. How do they talk?
  5. Did they mention any goals?

  1. Fijit is frequently moving, to a greater or lesser degree. If she's sitting at a table reading, she's likely to be humming (not necessarily on key) and swinging her feet under the chair. If you let her loose in a marketplace, she'll be darting from this stall to that, as her eye is caught by things that interest her, but only remaining longer than a minute or two when it's something she's really in. She's not very formal, and doesn't care much for rank, wealth, or power in and of themselves, but respects those who have worked their way up, or who have "proven" themselves worthy of their rank via hard work, be it physical, moral, or intellectual (but especially the last). A successful merchant who doesn't put on airs is more likely to get a "sir" from her than a nobleman who does put them on. Unless she wants something from said nobleman - but there's usually an edge of irony to her voice then, and the perceptive would be able to detect the not-quite-sincerity.
  
  2. Indoors and weather permitting, Fijit is usually in stout cloth trousers, sturdy boots, and a sleeveless linen shirt covered in close-knitted lace (that's how I'm interpreting the pic I've chosen, since she can't afford chainmail). Weather not permitting, she adds a long-sleeved woolen tunic, and a cloak at need. If she expects to be outside for a while, or if it's raining, she also adds a floppy-brimmed canvas hat. For adventuring, she dons her studded leather armor over whatever she's wearing that day, and carries a shortspear. When doing alchemical work, she swaps to protective eyeglasses, leather trousers, high-collared linen shirt, and a long-sleeved leather coat that wraps around and ties in back, with slits up the sides of her legs to allow her to move freely (kind of like a cross between a duster and an apron, something like this but brown leather, down to her knees, and it wraps under her arm rather than over to tie in the back). If working on something particularly pungent, she also wears a scarf over her lower face.
  
  3. All of the items mentioned in #2 have seen frequent use, but are kept in good repair. Her alchemical apron/coat is marked with splashes, stains, and a few burns, but nothing that harms its structural integrity. (Logic might suggest that these are the result of infrequent accidents rather than habitual carelessness.) Her adventuring gear has rather less wear and tear than her clothing, but is equally well tended.
  
  4. Generally without reserve, though she does know the value of tact and sometimes makes use of it. She doesn't speak without thinking, but her thinking tends to be quick and to the point, and her speech likewise, unless she sees a good reason to hold back.
  
  5. If asked, or if it comes up, Fijit has the modest long-term goal of being a very famous alchemist (not necessarily known to the average person on the street, but among the learned and her alchemical peers especially). Short-term, she wants to see the world and make stuff from it. Most immediately, a new variety of poison, one to stop an attacker with the same effectiveness as the weapons carried by larger folk, but without the long-term side effects (e.g. attribute damage) caused by the varieties she's already familiar with. Not that she objects to such effects in principle, she just finds them indirect, and she's a direct sort of person. She's not shy about talking about any of the above, but she also knows very well that there's a good deal of work to put in to achieve her goals, and isn't at all daunted by the prospect.

  Spoiler: Weapon and Armor Proficiency

  Alchemists are proficient with all simple weapons and bombs. They are also proficient with light armor, but not with shields.
  Spoiler: Alchemy (Su)

  Alchemists are not only masters of creating mundane alchemical substances such as alchemist’s fire and smokesticks, but also of fashioning magical potion-like extracts in which they can store spell effects. In effect, an alchemist prepares his spells by mixing ingredients into a number of extracts, and then “casts” his spells by drinking the extract. When an alchemist creates an extract or bomb, he infuses the concoction with a tiny fraction of his own magical power—this enables the creation of powerful effects, but also binds the effects to the creator.
  
  When using Craft (alchemy) to create an alchemical item, an alchemist gains a competence bonus equal to his class level on the Craft (alchemy) check. In addition, an alchemist can use Craft (alchemy) to identify potions as if using detect magic. He must hold the potion for 1 round to make such a check.
  
  An alchemist can create three special types of magical items—extracts, bombs, and mutagens. Bombs are explosive splash weapons, and mutagens are transformative elixirs that the alchemist drinks to enhance his physical abilities—both of these are detailed in their own sections below.
  
  Extracts are the most varied of the three. In many ways, they behave like spells in potion form, and as such their effects can be dispelled by effects like dispel magic using the alchemist’s level as the caster level. Unlike potions, though, extracts can have powerful effects and duplicate spells that a potion normally could not.
  
  An alchemist can create only a certain number of extracts of each level per day. His base daily allotment of extracts is given on Table 2–1. In addition, he receives bonus extracts per day if he has a high Intelligence score, in the same way a wizard receives bonus spells per day.
  
  When an alchemist mixes an extract, he infuses the chemicals and reagents in the extract with magic siphoned from his own magical aura. An extract immediately becomes inert if it leaves the alchemist’s possession, reactivating as soon as it returns to his keeping—an alchemist cannot normally pass out his extracts for allies to use (but see the “infusion” discovery below). An extract, once created, remains potent for 1 day before losing its magic, so an alchemist must re-prepare his extracts every day. Mixing an extract takes 1 minute of work—most alchemists prepare many extracts at the start of the day or just before going on an adventure, but it’s not uncommon for an alchemist to keep some (or even all) of his daily extract slots open so that he can prepare extracts in the field as needed.
  
  Although the alchemist doesn’t actually cast spells, he does have a formulae list that determines what extracts he can create. An alchemist can utilize spell-trigger items if the spell appears on his formulae list, but not spell-completion items (unless he uses Use Magic Device to do so). An extract is “cast” by drinking it, as if imbibing a potion—the effects of an extract exactly duplicate the spell upon which its formula is based, save that the spell always affects only the drinking alchemist. An alchemist can draw and drink an extract as a standard action. The alchemist uses his level as the caster level to determine any effect based on caster level.
  
  Creating extracts consumes raw materials, but the cost of these materials is insignificant—comparable to the valueless material components of most spells. If a spell normally has a costly material component, that component is expended during the consumption of that particular extract. Extracts cannot be made from spells that have focus requirements (alchemist extracts that duplicate divine spells never have a divine focus requirement).
  
  An alchemist can prepare an extract of any formula he knows. To learn or use an extract, an alchemist must have an Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the extract’s level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against an alchemist’s extract is 10 + the extract level + the alchemist’s Intelligence modifier.
  
  An alchemist may know any number of formulae. He stores his formulae in a special tome called a formula book. He must refer to this book whenever he prepares an extract but not when he consumes it. An alchemist begins play with two 1st-level formulae of his choice, plus a number of additional forumlae equal to his Intelligence modifier. At each new alchemist level, he gains one new formula of any level that he can create. An alchemist can also add formulae to his book just like a wizard adds spells to his spellbook, using the same costs, pages, and time requirements. An alchemist can study a wizard’s spellbook to learn any formula that is equivalent to a spell the spellbook contains. A wizard, however, cannot learn spells from a formula book. An alchemist does not need to decipher arcane writings before copying them.
  Spoiler: Bomb (Su)

  In addition to magical extracts, alchemists are adept at swiftly mixing various volatile chemicals and infusing them with their magical reserves to create powerful bombs that they can hurl at their enemies. An alchemist can use a number of bombs each day equal to his class level + his Intelligence modifier. Bombs are unstable, and if not used in the round they are created, they degrade and become inert—their method of creation prevents large volumes of explosive material from being created and stored. In order to create a bomb, the alchemist must use a small vial containing an ounce of liquid catalyst—the alchemist can create this liquid catalyst from small amounts of chemicals from an alchemy lab, and these supplies can be readily refilled in the same manner as a spellcaster’s component pouch. Most alchemists create a number of catalyst vials at the start of the day equal to the total number of bombs they can create in that day—once created, a catalyst vial remains usable by the alchemist for years.
  
  Drawing the components of, creating, and throwing a bomb requires a standard action that provokes an attack of opportunity. Thrown bombs have a range of 20 feet and use the Throw Splash Weapon special attack. Bombs are considered weapons and can be selected using feats such as Point-Blank Shot and Weapon Focus. On a direct hit, an alchemist’s bomb inflicts 1d6 points of fire damage + additional damage equal to the alchemist’s Intelligence modifier. The damage of an alchemist’s bomb increases by 1d6 points at every odd-numbered alchemist level (this bonus damage is not multiplied on a critical hit or by using feats such as Vital Strike). Splash damage from an alchemist bomb is always equal to the bomb’s minimum damage (so if the bomb would deal 2d6+4 points of fire damage on a direct hit, its splash damage would be 6 points of fire damage). Those caught in the splash damage can attempt a Reflex save for half damage. The DC of this save is equal to 10 + 1/2 the alchemist’s level + the alchemist’s Intelligence modifier.
  
  Alchemists can learn new types of bombs as discoveries (see the Discovery ability) as they level up. An alchemist’s bomb, like an extract, becomes inert if used or carried by anyone else.
  Spoiler: Brew Potion (Ex)

  At 1st level, alchemists receive Brew Potion as a bonus feat. An alchemist can brew potions of any formulae he knows (up to 3rd level), using his alchemist level as his caster level. The spell must be one that can be made into a potion. The alchemist does not need to meet the prerequisites for this feat.
  Spoiler: Mutagen (Su)

  At 1st level, an alchemist discovers how to create a mutagen that he can imbibe in order to heighten his physical prowess at the cost of his personality. It takes 1 hour to brew a dose of mutagen, and once brewed, it remains potent until used. An alchemist can only maintain one dose of mutagen at a time—if he brews a second dose, any existing mutagen becomes inert. As with an extract or bomb, a mutagen that is not in an alchemist’s possession becomes inert until an alchemist picks it up again.
  
  When an alchemist brews a mutagen, he selects one physical ability score—either Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution. It’s a standard action to drink a mutagen. Upon being imbibed, the mutagen causes the alchemist to grow bulkier and more bestial, granting him a +2 natural armor bonus and a +4 alchemical bonus to the selected ability score for 10 minutes per alchemist level. In addition, while the mutagen is in effect, the alchemist takes a –2 penalty to one of his mental ability scores. If the mutagen enhances his Strength, it applies a penalty to his Intelligence. If it enhances his Dexterity, it applies a penalty to his Wisdom. If it enhances his Constitution, it applies a penalty to his Charisma.
  
  A non-alchemist who drinks a mutagen must make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 the alchemist’s level + the alchemist’s Intelligence modifier) or become nauseated for 1 hour—a non-alchemist can never gain the benefit of a mutagen, but an alchemist can gain the effects of another alchemist’s mutagen if he drinks it. (Although if the other alchemist creates a different mutagen, the effects of the “stolen” mutagen immediately cease.) The effects of a mutagen do not stack. Whenever an alchemist drinks a mutagen, the effects of any previous mutagen immediately end.
  Spoiler: Throw Anything (Ex)

  All alchemists gain the Throw Anything feat as a bonus feat at 1st level. An alchemist adds his Intelligence modifier to damage done with splash weapons, including the splash damage if any. This bonus damage is already included in the bomb class feature.

  School: transmutation; alchemist 1
  Casting Time: 1 standard action
  Components: S
  Range: personal
  Target: you
  Duration: 1 round/level
  This extract allows you to throw weapons farther and more accurately. While this extract is in effect, increase the range of any thrown weapon by 10 feet. In addition, you receive a +1 insight bonus on attack rolls made with thrown weapons.
  Cure Light Wounds
  Source: PRPG Core Rulebook pg. 263
  School: conjuration (healing); alchemist 1
  Casting Time: 1 standard action
  Components: V, S
  Range: touch
  Target: creature touched
  Duration: instantaneous
  Saving Throw: Will half (harmless); Spell Resistance yes (harmless); see text
  When laying your hand upon a living creature, you channel positive energy that cures 1d8 points of damage + 1 point per caster level (maximum +5). Since undead are powered by negative energy, this spell deals damage to them instead of curing their wounds. An undead creature can apply spell resistance, and can attempt a Will save to take half damage.
  Expeditious Retreat
  Source: PRPG Core Rulebook pg. 279
  School: transmutation; alchemist 1
  Casting Time: 1 standard action
  Components: V, S
  Range: personal
  Target: you
  Duration: 1 min./level (D)
  This spell increases your base land speed by 30 feet. This adjustment is treated as an enhancement bonus. There is no effect on other modes of movement, such as burrow, climb, fly, or swim. As with any effect that increases your speed, this spell affects your jumping distance (see the Acrobatics skill).
  Ferment
  Source: Inner Sea Temples pg. 23
  School: transmutation; alchemist 1
  Casting Time: 1 standard action
  Components: V, S, M (a drop of ale, mead, or wine)
  Range: touch
  Target: object touched
  Duration: 10 minutes/level
  Saving Throw: Fortitude negates (object); Spell Resistance yes (object)
  This spell temporarily imbues a potable liquid (including elixirs, extracts, potions, and poisons) with an intoxicant. The caster must succeed at a caster level check in order to affect magic liquids and poisons (DC = 10 + item level for magic liquids, DC equal to the poison’s save DC for a poison); otherwise, the spell fails. If the caster succeeds, the liquid also assumes a flavor according to what the caster desires, but the effect on the imbiber is the same. An imbiber of a liquid affected by ferment must succeed at a Fortitude saving throw at the spell’s save DC or take a –2 penalty on attack rolls, saves, ability checks, and skill checks for the remaining duration of the spell. Additionally, the DC of any skill check to identify a magic liquid or poison under the effects of this spell increases by 5.
  Polypurpose Panacea
  Source: Ultimate Magic pg. 232
  School: transmutation; alchemist 1
  Casting Time: 1 standard action
  Components: S
  Range: personal
  Target: you
  Duration: see below
  This creates one of several cantrip-level effects relating to your health, well-being, and entertainment. The panacea has no side effects (for example, the intoxication panacea does not cause a hangover). When you use polypurpose panacea, choose one of the following effects.
  -- Analgesic: You do not feel minor aches and pains, such as from arthritis, a cold, or a hangover, for 1 hour. For the duration, you gain a +2 resistance bonus against pain-related spells.
  -- Clarity: You get a +1 competence bonus on a single attack roll, saving throw, or skill check within 1 minute. You must choose to use the bonus before making the roll to which it applies.
  -- Hallucination: You have pleasant hallucinations for 1 hour, such as wandering lights, music, playful surreal animals, and so on. You can tell these are not real, but they are distracting, and you take a –2 penalty on Perception checks for the duration.
  -- Intoxication: You feel comfortably intoxicated for 1 hour, as if you had a few alcoholic beverages.
  -- Lucid Dream: If you take this panacea within 1 hour of going to sleep, you have a lucid dream that is under your control and lasts for an hour.
  -- Resistance: You gain a +1 resistance bonus on saves for 1 minute.
  -- Sleep: You enter a pleasant and restful sleep for at least 1 hour unless wakened. If you would normally begin sleeping at this time, when the panacea ends you continue sleeping normally.
  -- Sobriety: You become completely sober for 1 hour, negating any penalties to your actions for being drunk (GameMastery Guide 237). Magical and alchemical methods (such as detect poison) still detect you as inebriated. Time spent under the effect of this panacea do not count toward the time necessary to sober up (it merely delays your intoxication).
  -- Tenacity: You gain 1 temporary hit point for 1 minute.
  -- Wakefulness: You remain awake for 2 hours without feeling sleepy, and without side effects such as jitteriness. You gain a +5 resistance bonus against sleep-related spells such as lullaby and sleep. This use of the panacea merely delays your need for sleep and does not count as rest or sleep. You can use it multiple times in succession, but as each effect wears off, you are as tired as you would be had you not used the panacea.

  Note to self for discoveries:
  Infusion (Advanced Player's Guide pg. 31): When the alchemist creates an extract, he can infuse it with an extra bit of his own magical power. The extract created now persists even after the alchemist sets it down. As long as the extract exists, it continues to occupy one of the alchemist's daily extract slots. An infused extract can be imbibed by a non-alchemist to gain its effects.

  -- The alchemy crafting kit is assumed to have all the material components needed for his extracts, mutagens, and bombs, except for those components that have a specific cost. An alchemy crafting kit provides no bonuses on Craft (alchemy) checks. (This item was called an “alchemist’s kit” in the Advanced Player’s Guide, and was renamed to avoid confusion with this book’s pre-selected set of adventuring gear called an “alchemist’s kit.”)

  Spoiler: Picture of Thomas

  
  Found on DeviantArt, user jw8401, title 140203 S
  
  Character Background: Thomas was the son of a common soldier serving in the Silver Shields mercenary company. His mother was one of the assorted camp followers who trailed after the company offering services for coin. He grew up amonst the many warriors that signed onto the Shield's charter, learning Elven and Dwarven to a good level of understanding and getting stronger through hard toil and childish swordplay.
  
  His life might have lead him to join the mercenaries, had his father not fallen in a particularly sudden ambush that took the company unawares. His final memory of his father was the brave man standing over Thomas' cowering form, cutting down the cloaked and masked skirmishers who had rushed the camp in the dead of night, intent on gutting the cream of their warriors. Despite his valiant effort to put down the three men attacking him, Thomas' father's wounds proved fatal and he died a few hours later. Thomas' heart was broken by the loss and he would have stayed at the simple grave marker until his own life left him had not a kindly Cleric of Pharasma, who had been travelling with the company, stayed and brought him to his temple. There Thomas learned of the works of Pharasma and was taken by the life of the Clerics, finally offering himself to the Lady of Graves to do with as she pleased.
