Some Stats - If You Cared

When I write the characters, I try to write them as people, not statistics. Having said that, if I want to know what they can do, I have to have their stats chosen.

Delegado was a 6th level ranger when he was introduced. When he arrives in Yrlarg shortly, he'll be 11th level. Iron Orphan is currently an 11th level monk. Thomas was a barbarian/fighter/rogue when he died, mostly rogue levels.

Parnain is the first major character to have a prestige class. That's right folks, can you guess who has assassin levels?

Parnain is a half-elven Rnager 3/Rogue 7/Assassin 6. A 16th level character. With maximized spot ranks.

Beware, spoilers ahead:

What race doesn't Parnain like? (Hint: Shapechangers are hsi favored enemy.) What notable member of House Tharashk is hopelessly in love with a changeling? What have I got in store?

Yep, it's gonna be verrrrry interesting.

Wise Words

That's the name of a feat I developed, which Iron Orphan will be taking when he reaches 12th level (coming up).

These Wise Words feat is a DnD 3.5 feat that allows the character with the feat the ability to use their Int modifier on a Diplomacy check (and Orphan has an Int of 14 and a Cha of 6), so long as the character has an opportunity to engage the other party in some sort of meaningful discourse. (DM's discretion what that means, but I would be generous.)

The only pre-requisite is one rank in Diplomacy. Orphan has 2 ranks in Diplomacy, and maxed out ranks in Sense Motive (which easily gives him the 5 ranks in Sense Motive he needs for the +2 synergy bonus), so once he takes this feat his Diplomacy check will be +6. Taking a few more ranks in Diplomacy when he hits 12th level (a class skill for a monk) will make him a pretty good negotiator.

This is a good complement to his partner, especially since Delegado (half-orc with a Cha of 8) tends to negotiate with a longbow.

And The Story Continues

I hope you've enjoyed the novel. It's sequel begins here.

I may post some short stories on this blog shortly, probably some things that took place before this novel in the lives of the characters. I've a great deal of notes on Pienna, and I really would like to explore her younger self more.

Or, maybe I'll post the stats (DnD 3.5).

Any suggestions, this would be the post to make them in.
