It probably looks pretty big on her. As far as she's concerned with her Strength of 9 it's a two-handed weapon.<br/><br/>GM Cookies:<br/>Snake Sigil Ring: Once a Day Get Maximum Effect of a Wound Healing Spell, Costs Use 1 HP of Damage<br/>Piece of Paper on Table: Avoid Death Once<br/>Piece of Paper on Table: Automatically Make One Saving Throw<br/><br/>Priestess of the Snake Goddess:<em>Safe around snakes, speak to snakes, immune to ordinary diseases of a sexual nature.</em><br/><br/>A just slightly chunky (particularly from the rear) young woman in her early twenties, Pythania is a wandering priestess of the Serpent Goddess. She wears as little as is possible most of the time, revealing a lot of smooth-shaven (<em>yes, completely</em>), somewhat dark bronzy skin which on close inspection (and in the right lighting) has been finely tattooed (<em>yes, completely</em>) with an iridescent pattern like snakescales. It's the sort of detail which is obvious under the bright sun, but by candle or flickering torch-light, one might be unsure whether they really saw or not.<br/><br/>Her forearms and calves are wrapped with somewhat thick, colorful bands of braided silk and shed snakeskin, and if she knows she's going somewhere dangerous she will don a long skirt made from strips of heavy, shed scales from what must be a truly immense serpent. The strips (and the scales) are only a couple of inches across. Enough to soften a blow or turn a blade, but hardly enough to obstruct (whether in terms of mobility or visibility) her legs. More often than not she carries a large satchel (backpack) about with her, as well as a snake-carven staff and a few pouches which sway around her soft form on thongs.<br/><br/>She very probably has a pet snake of unusual size which isn't in any way a combatant (<em><strong>if that's okay</strong></em>).<br/><br/>Pythania is one of those wandering clerics who is affiliated with the temple in Swordhaven but spends a great deal of her time going out and caring for the needs of the faithful who are unfortunate enough not to be able to easily attend, or newcomers shy about attending the public festivities, or converting the heathen with her slippery, serpentinely-inspired contortions.<br/><br/>It isn't exactly a<em>job</em>job, but she is used to providing for herself (a priestess of the Snake Goddess rarely has trouble finding a warm place to sleep or a pleasant meal) and tends to accumulate trinkets from those of the faithful who appreciate her services. That doesn't mean the Temple can't call on her to go anywhere it wants her to, of course...<br/><br/>I'll note her spell(s) at the beginning of each day, but generally they will be cure wounds. Does she have to 'memorize' her cantrip as well?<br/><br/>Also, if we're worrying about spoken text color, I would like to choose green.
