Yaeth was found in a small clearing at the edge of the Elder Wood by a Wood cutter. The wood cutter took the babe home to his new wife and they raised him as their own. Yaeth grew up learning the woods and tracking animals and soon was befriended by a ranger who showed him the wonders of the woods. His beloved ranger was abused one fateful day by a roving band of orcs. To this day now Yaeth dislikes Orcs and has slain a number of orcs he has had the chance to encounter. He will never forget how he found his mentor laying against a tree as the last of his blood was leaving his body. That one word "Orcs" that rasped through his mentors mouth haunts him as he tried in vain to save him.
Yaeth traveled throughout the northern part of Danira in hopes of finding his birth parents. He has made a living by cutting trees and tracking lost children for those that have needed it. He finally traveled to the capital city to see if he could find other employment and possibly more fame and fortune. He does not care who is in power as long is it does not interfere with his make of a living and getting more wealth. He has been talking to some of the priestesses of A'Lora to learn more of her and what she can teach him of nature that he may not know.
Wish list for weapons/magical items would be a long sword, short bow and a cloak of elven kind
Alright I will give it a good look over and get back to you as quickly as I can. Just off a fist glace I did notice you have a 18 in Strength I have not let any one in with a stat over 17. If you don't mind can you move that 1 free stat point over to another stat as long as it is at or under 17. I know this will affect other aspects on your sheet we can deal with that after I look over it for any other light revisions.
Sorry for the hour wait, so far I'm noticing some small things
Strength: 18 +4 (Cant be over 17. Please move one point to a stat of your picking)
Dexterity: 15 +2
Constitution: 16 +3
Intelligence: 12 +1
Wisdom: 13 +1
Charisma: 10
"HP: 33" Seams a bit high/off. Our fighter has 22 HP and the highest HP person we have is 28 HP I believe. Did you roll or just take max? I know some people just take max so I felt I should ask. We are rolling and you may re-roll 1s. Yes you take max on level ones roll only. Ranger HP is based of a D8 so 8 + roll D8 +roll D8 = HP#
I like your Feat choices very nice.
"Combat style -Archery"
Dose this mean your favored weapon in a bow?
Skill points:
7x4= 28+7+7=42
So far your math seams right, remember that class skills are 1:1 and untrained or cross class skills are 2:1
Back story:
Your back story reads well, I only need some light certification and I have some extra information for you based off it.
Did you mean Elder wood Forest (North East) near the the nation of the Drow or did you mean The Forests of Dogwood (North West) the home to the Elf kingdom?
"Traveled to Danica's capital city of Florana to see if he could find other employment and possibly more fame and fortune. He does not care who is in power as long is it does not interfere with his make of a living and getting more wealth. He has been talking to some of the priestesses of A'Lora to learn more of her and what she can teach him of nature that he may not know."
Great. Info I needed, thank you.
Your research in to the goddess A"Lora has tough you her path is that of Passion, patience, and calmness, but the will to strike if need be.
Goddess of forests, woodlands, flora & fauna, and fertility, and water.
Generally depicted as an ethereal ghost, an Elven woman made of dancing lights that move and swirl and pass through objects or interact with them at will.
Symbol: a white wilted lily flower on a green background.
Demeanor is carefree and silent- believed to be unable to be heard she has been reported to move her mouth but there is no sound, she is often spotted where lovers are and in riverbeds splashing around.
Alignment: Neutral Good
Domains: Animal, Good, Plant, and Water.
Favorite weapon: rapier: it is quick and agile and seems like a dance with the weapon.
Area of Influence: Allover, mostly in the wooded areas and plains. Her followers tend to worship near fresh water whenever possible.
When you begin to talk to the priestesses in the capital about her they point out at once that she her self the goddess has graced there shrine with in the last year and the show you a wilted Lilly in a glass of water on top an alter in the main room. One of the women says, he her self gave us a living representation of her holy symbol while it is wilted it is very much alive and has not changed in its appearance in the 10 mouths it has grassed are humble cathedral. As the woman talks you of cores look on at the flower wondering if its real or if the temple masters simply change it out at night. As you look at the wilted flower and listen to the priestess sermon on the glory that is there goddess, you could swear the flower begins to stiffen up, rejuvenating and opening before your eyes a fully open white Lilly, you can even smell it. You blink heavily and glace a way at the presets as she talks wondering hoe she can be calm not noticing this when you take a double take back at the flower its still wilted and unmoved. You wonder if what you just saw was a hallucination, real? Or your mind playing tricks, perhaps a small illusion. That is for you to ponder and decide on your own. After an afternoon of them pitching there beliefs and the goddesses path they offer you a bed for the nigh having herd you say you are new to town. Weather you take the offered bed or seek a room at an inn is up to you.
When I make your introduction post in to game your timeline will start on the morning there after.
I need 1 favored weapon listed and
A wish list of 3 magic items that you hope one day might show up in game or that just outline the kinds of things you like in game.
I take it Orc(s) are the monsters that haunt your nightmares.
Do you have any items hidden on you?
I still require a good description of our average day clothing for fair weather. This includes the weapons you wish you where starting with, and the armor you will be having taken from you by the guards when you are arrested and thrown in the dungeon as you come in to play.
I will change the strength to 17 and add it to Constitution. That will make that a 17 and I will need to refigure Hit points. I start off first level with max hit points and I rolled two 8s on a d8. I got lucky is all I can say. If you wish me to reroll I can do that. As a Ranger favored weapon is one that I get bonuses in and yes combat style for my character is a bow He prefers a bow over a Yes I meant the Elder woods the home of the Drows.
All the skills I have listed are Class skills except for Diplomacy and Gather Information. I will change those two I forgot about that 2:1 on cross skills
Like I said before the favored weapon is a bow
I did not list any money equipment or possessions as I did not know how wanted any of that. All he has right now is what is listed in the original post.
His wish list is at the end of the original post
Yes orcs haunt his dreams
What he is wearing currently and no hidden weapons is a pair of breeches dyed a muted brownish green and a tunic that is of the same color, he has a brown belt around his waist and leather boots that are mid calf in length. The boots are brown in color and made from soft leather.
After remembering that I was forgetting about [Constitution] Score being added to the D8 rolls, you are actually fine with the Hit points of 33. Warning however this makes you the tank with highest HP of the party. (Giggles)
Crossbow, short bow, long bow, or composite bow?
Just repost the draft after all the state and skill modifications /adjustments are made.
No hidden stuff- okay, and clothing looks good, thank you.
Modifications are complete strength and constitution are both 17. He prefers the short bow.
