I thought it would be fun to play a filthy poor peasant archer.

Re: :D
I wouldnt mind Jared being someones kind of servant or henchmen type. He is a dirty filthy poor peasant with 40 coppers to his name. As I intend to really play up the low the social status peasant type. But being solo is fine too. It could be a reason the 2 are travelling together. The mentor provides room, board and direction-
Jared does errands, guard duty and whatever else he needs. Probably not Nuruk or Tyururist, as I dont think that would quite fit. Maybe another character kind of took him under their wing. Just an idea.

Re: :D
The Monk could possibly? Monks take a (sort of) vow of poverty, but it's by choice, not by economics/status. That said, if you made yer fella dirt poor, then the Monk's 50+ gold (coin & gems) would seem wealthy, I imagine? They're both archers, although this Monk studies and practices to master the fist, eventually; however, until then Xue prefers the distance of an arrow.Bloodaxe wrote:I wouldnt mind Jared being someones kind of servant or henchmen type.

He could be one of Beren's charity cases.
I guess Beren should have a diety, huh? St. Ygg is the only one listed in the game info that would seem to have paladins, but I was picturing Beren as unsanctimonious. Could I add a diety, or just fit him in as a non-obnoxious Ygg follower?

Sorry Sumo- still love ya man.
To go with the obvious tropes- Id say the Paladin or Cleric would be best.
Do we have a Thief or Mage ? are we expecting any more players?

The Monk is the 'Thief' for the skills; lucky for us, Monks execute at the same level as Thieves and even get a bonus to find/remove traps, move silent/hide in shadows, pick locks, and climb ~ this doesn't include his DEX bonus, which he also gets. We do not have a Magic-User, that I know of. We'll probably have to rent one out.

Jared has to earn his keep. Whats a good filthy peasant for?Zhym wrote:Now, now, now. Beren would never take advantage of his charge to avoid menial tasks.
Unless doing those tasks taught a good life lesson or something.
Re: :D
Why, for bringing him up out of his squalid existence, teaching him the ways of Law and Goodness, and keeping him on the straight and narrow, of course!
The continued poverty comes from working for someone who took a vow of poverty.

Re: :D
Well then you can give to charity! Namely Jared! And Im sure the vow of poverty is for monies after expenses....expenses like the upkeep of your faithful servant. Peasants have to eat too.Zhym wrote:Why, for bringing him up out of his squalid existence, teaching him the ways of Law and Goodness, and keeping him on the straight and narrow, of course!

St. Ygg is fine. They have a small detachment at Eastdale, they are typically A-holes, but you can be however you choose to be. St Ygg's followers tend to be quite fanatical, but there are plenty who are more down to earth.Zhym wrote:He could be one of Beren's charity cases.

Re: :D
I'd say yes - generally. Ygg is the overwhelming choice around here, but any god whose sphere has anything to do with order, law, justice, whatever, I'd say they are choices too.Bloodaxe wrote:Does a Paladin choose a Diety like a Cleric?
I like the concept of your guy. Kind of like a Sod from your Horror on the Hill campaign...
