Crudely made or weapons made with inferior metals are like a muddled song, indistinct and unclear. Better made weapons sound like a clear trumpet or beautiful lute. She's never had a chance to draw a magical weapon, but she believes it must sound like a symphony.<br><br>Icons: The Emperor (2, Positive), The Crusader (1, conflicted)<br><br>Backgrounds: <br><br>Trained to be in the Militia +3<br>Apprenticed as a Merchant's Guard +2<br>Grew up in the Imperial Village of Hastenhall +3<br><br>Class Features<br><br>Extra Tough (Start with nine recoveries instead of eight)<br>Threatening (WHenever an enemy disengages, they take a penalty equal to CON/DEX (whichever higher)<br><br>Talents:<br>Comeback Strike (1x/battle, make another attack at -2 if the first fighter attack misses)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>Heavy Warrior (2x/Battle, when hit by an attack that targets AC, as free action, take only half damage from that attack)<br><br>Power Attack (1x/battle, declare to use Power Attack, if it hits, do an extra 1d4 damage per level)<br><br>Feats<br><br>(Racial):Quick To Fight (Roll Initiative twice, choose which one<br>(Human Bonus):Heavy Warrior Adventurer Tier (Use Heavy Warrior 2x/battle)<br>(1st Level): Blade's Song Adventurer's Tier (Deadly Assault), re roll 1's and 2's instead of just 1's<br><br>Maneuvers:<br><br>Blade's Song <strong>(Deadly Assault, Flexible, Can trigger on any natural Even Hit)</strong>, reroll any 1's or 2's on damage roll, stuck with reroll.<br><br>Blade's Tempo <strong>(Carve an Opening, Flexible, can trigger on any natural odd roll)</strong>, melee crit range expands by 1 (cumulative) this battle until a critical melee hit (then goes back to normal)<br><br>Blade's Crescendo <strong>(Heavy Blows, Flexible, can trigger on any natural even miss</strong>), Gain a bonus to miss damage equal to the escalation die.<br><br><strong>Story:<br><br>Thalia Bladesong grew up with two desires. To avenge the death of her mother (a militia member killed in an Abyssal raid), and to join the Crusader in battling back the forces of the Abyss. Her weapon trainers noted that she took to the blade naturally, and always had a knack for picking out the best weapon in a lot. When pressed on how she knew how a blade's quality just by drawing it, she just shrugged and stated that she judged a weapon on how it sang to her.<br><br>She trained and was a member of Hastenhall's militia, when she received notice that a band of Crusaders were holding a martial tournament to enlist new warriors into the Crusade, and she headed to the port of Thunder Bay to enlist in the Tournament.<br><br>While she wasn't the best fighter involved in the tournament, she acquitted herself honorably. However, she noticed that the other participants were all male. When she stood in front of the Crusader who had sponsored the tournament for judgement, the Crusader just laughed, and suggested that she would be better served as a camp follower for "true Crusaders" and not have her "pretty face" disfigured.<br><br>Disgusted with the chauvinistic attitude, Thalia left without speaking a word, and rejoined the Militia, practicing even harder, in preparation for traveling across the Empire. This time, her desire to join the Crusade was replaced by another desire.. to show the Crusade what they had missed out on by mocking her.</strong><br>

Every time he tries to remember it in detail, it comes about as a mostly forgotten dream.<br><br>Iconis<br><br>The Priestess: (Conflicted) -+2. Flynn is many things. A thief, a man with few regrets about fighting, and a cheater at cards... But he's mostly on the side of good, and he has heart when he needs to which the priestess and her agents can both admire and find exasperating.<br><br>Prince of Shadows: Conflicted -+1. Flynn looks out for his and himself always. Sometimes this can be a benefit to the prince, but just the same it can rouse the ire of the king of thieves.<br><br>Backgrounds<br><br>Acrobatics 3: People say that only assassins of the black blade should move the way Flynn does - But the only way to escape the order is death and yet Flynn doesn't have their insignia branded on him. Who trained him, and why?<br>Gambling 3: When questioned about why he seems so good at games of chance, Flynn rolls his shoulders and smiles. Sometimes, he says that&nbsp; he rolled a winning pair of dice against a demon and was blessed. Other nights, he says that he was born under the constellation of the blind lady. Whatever the reason, he seems almost supernaturally lucky at games of fortune.<br>Medicinal knowledge 2: When you can cut people like Flynn does, you know how to fix them too. Its not uncommon to hear him quip off a trivial but useful fact - Did you know the flowers around snowguard can be made into a paste to alleviate burns? Flynn does.<br>Thievery: 5. Of course, he's a cheater about a lot of things. Dice, stealing, cards, sleight of hand... Perhaps even someones heart.<br>race powers<br><br>+2 to dex<br>+1 adventurer feat<br>Quick to the draw: At the start of battle, roll init twice and pick the one you prefer.<br><br>Class talents and powers<br><br>Momentum: Gain when hitting, lose when being hit. Need for some powers and need to spend for others.<br><br>Sneak attack: +1d6 damage when attacking enemy engaged with my allies.<br><br>Trap sense: Can reroll a skill check involving taps once. If a trap's attack roll against Flynn is a natural odd roll, he can force it to reroll the attack once.<br><br>Improved sneak attack: Use the improved sneak attack table.<br><br>Thievery: Thief background at 5 automatically.<br><br>Shadow walk: Can make a Cha+level attack vs enemy MD as a move action before using a standard action. At start of next turn, return anywhere nearby I could have moved to. My first attack after deals double damage that turn.<br><br>Evasive strike (1st level, pg 129)<br><br>Flying blade (Pg 129)<br><br>Roll With it (pg 129)<br><br>Sure Cut (pg 129)<br><br>Thiefs strike (Pg 130)<br><br>Feats<br><br>Sneak attack: Adventurer<br><br>Thievery: Adventurer<br><br>Equipment<br><br>Weapons: 2 knives<br>Armor: Leather armor<br>Other equipment: Cards and dice that he swears aren't loaded, and basic clothes, survival gear, and three days worth of rations. 40 gold.<br><br>Snowguard fact: Twice a year on the solstice, a small caravan of elves comes to trade with the town and sells elven honey, wine, and other delicacies. A young maiden always heads north to to the frozen lands, and never returns with the caravan as it leaves. The elves do not mention why this happens.<br><br><br>--<br><br>Now, how do you want us entering the scene?

				Well, most likely relaxing from a day spent inscribing runes on stuff for people. I used to be a wench but I got fired for assaulting a lesser noble of the Empire (thus my conflicted relationship with the empire and Gladiator background.)

It was filled with ancient draconian pictograms.&nbsp; She knew they were important, but couldn’t understand what they said.&nbsp; She eventually fell asleep in the warmth of the immense cavern and when she awoke she was once again in the storm but heard the voices of her tribe looking for her.&nbsp; When she returned to the village she found that the pictograms were faintly traced onto her skin.&nbsp; She still has no idea what they mean, but her magical talent manifested soon after.<br><br><br><strong>Icons:</strong><br><br><em>Great Platinum Wyrm (2 point, Heroic Positive)</em><br>Little Fox’s tribal totem is the Platinum Wyrm an ancient representation of the Great Golden Wyrm.&nbsp; It is said that much of the tribes lore was passed to them by the Great Platinum Wyrm and their shamans were charged with the guardianship the North.&nbsp; The Platinum Wyrm appeared to little fox in her dreams as a child marking her forever as a Shaman of the tribes.&nbsp; <br><br><em>Elf Queen (1 point, Ambiguous Conflicted)</em><br>There are ancient pacts made between the tribes of the North and the winter fae, that bind them together.&nbsp; The Half-Elves of the Northern Tribes are not born of human and elven parents.&nbsp; They are a race of Half-Elves that breed true, born of those ancient joinings of humans and winter fae generations ago.&nbsp; The ancient pacts still hold but the Northern Tribes are their own people and the Elf Queen doesn’t fully trust her northern half-kin.<br><br><em>The White (1 point, Ambiguous Negative)</em><br>Not all of the Northern tribes serve The White.&nbsp; If fact they are split with a equal serving The Great Golden Wyrm in the guise of the Platinum Wyrm.&nbsp; Those that serve the Platinum Wyrm work to protect the sacred sites that weaken The White from raiders of the Winter Dragon and the agents of the Archmage who seek the magic contained within for their own designs.<br><br><strong>Backgrounds:</strong><br><br><em>Shaman of the Northern Hills 4</em><br>Little Fox was the shaman of her tribe before the disappeared.&nbsp; The former shaman instructed her in the stories and tales of the Northern Tribes as well as the knowledge of the beasts of the far north.&nbsp; Skill should help in legends and folklore, arcane lore, use magic device and heal.<br><br><em>Tundra Walker 2</em><br>Life in the far north is harsh.&nbsp; It takes brains as well as brawn to survive.&nbsp; All children of the northern tribes learn how to hunt gather and survive in the far north.&nbsp; They know the subtlties of the lands and can recognized differences in the white snow that others miss.&nbsp; Skill should help in survival, navigation, spot, notice, climb, ride (sled), and jump.<br><br><em>Spirit Friend 2</em><br>A shaman must bargain with the spirits of the North, be they storm, snow or under ice.&nbsp; Creature Lore, diplomacy,&nbsp; Speak Languages:&nbsp; Hold basic conversations with non-humans of the far north including the winter fae (GM to decide what she can speak).<br><br><strong>Racial Trait:</strong> Surprising!<br>Reduce a natural d20 roll by 1 once per battle<br><br><strong>Class Features:</strong><br>Dancing Lights<br>Gather Power<br><br><strong>Talents:</strong> <br>Fey Heritage<br>Blood Link (Great Platinum Wyrm)<br>Metallic Protector Heritage<br><br><strong>Feats:</strong><br>Gather Power (Adventurer)<br><br><strong>Spells:</strong><br>Breath of the White<br>Lightning Fork<br>Freezing ray (Scorching Ray only Cold instead of Fire)<br>Resist Energy<br><br><strong>Equipment:</strong><br>Good Winter Clothing 1g<br>Standard Traveling Gear 5g<br>Bone Shortsword 4g<br>Cloth/Padded Armor 1g<br>Javelin 2g<br>Tent, Small 2g<br>Sled and Dogs 15g<br><br><strong>Story:</strong><br><br>Little Fox grew up in a small village in rolling hills north of the Tundra at the foot of the Frostfang Peaks.&nbsp; Children of the Northern Tribes are taken care of by the village as a whole and while there is a special relationship that a child has with her birth parents, they attached to the community in a way that is tight knit and personal.&nbsp; She gained the name Little Fox for she was a slight of frame and nimble and a magnate for danger.&nbsp; Who Calls Winter was added later when she became the tribes shaman.<br><br>When she was a young girl Little Fox, always a wanderer got lost in a storm.&nbsp; She happened upon a large cavern in the ancient hills.&nbsp; It was barren yet warm and filled with strange pictograms.&nbsp; Waiting out the storm she fell asleep and dreamed of the Great Platinum Wyrm.&nbsp; He told her this was his lair when he was but a child and he would be happy to share it with her if she were to help him in return.&nbsp; Now Little Fox was a curious and quizative little girl, but she had been taught well and remembered the responsibilities of the guest the Village Shaman had taught her and the others, so she agreed to help the Platinum Wyrm.&nbsp; He smiled and bade her to rest and when she awoke she was no longer in the cavern, but in a snowy field outside of her village, her skin covered in the pale lines and whirls of the pictograms she had seen.&nbsp; When she told her parents and the village elders what had happened she was given over to the Tribe’s Shaman to be trained as Little Fox had clearly been marked.<br><br>As a Shaman her duties were not only to the village but the tribe as a whole and as she grew she began to travel the Northern Hills.&nbsp; She saw the signs of The White’s stirrings and consulted with other Shamans.&nbsp; Upon her return to her village after once such gathering she found her village empty.&nbsp; There were no signs of violence, no signs of disturbance at all.&nbsp; They had just vanished.&nbsp; Distraught Little Fox searched and searched, but found no clues to the whereabouts of the villagers.&nbsp; She prayed to the Platinum Dragon and consulted the spirits and creatures of the ice and listened to the omens all of which have led her to the town of Snowguard where she hopes she can find those that might help her not only find her family but deal with a greater evil that the omens have only hinted.<br><br><strong>Motivation:</strong><br><br>Find out what happened to her family and the rest of her village.<br>

Rather than attaining a prestigious position as an imperial wizard, Toma was instead assigned a dead-end job as an undersecretary to a minor imperial bureaucrat. Thankfully, fate had something more important than a life of paperwork and policy meetings in store for him - while reviewing his superiors discretionary budget, he discovered a number of small and mysterious transactions, and eventually exposed the corrupt bureaucrats plot to murder the empress and replace her with a demonic doppelganger under the control of the plots true mastermind - the Diabolist. <br><br>Toma arrived at the empress' chambers after fighting his way through demons and cultists (and stepping over a lot of dead royal guards), just in time to intervene in the climatic battle between the sovereign and her would-be doppelganger. With his help, the empress was able to slay her attacker, and Toma was awarded the position of her personal assistant and secretary, a position he retained for a year until he was re-assigned to a duty more important than writing the empress' correspondences and planning her daily schedule.

The heavenly laws of irony and drama were first woven by these nine-tailed creatures, and sometimes the graces of the fates extend to me- but I am also a slave to them, and must live my life to entertain an impish audience none can see.<br><br><strong>Icons:</strong><br><em>Prince of Shadows (1 point, Ambiguous Positive)</em><br>During her priesthood in Santa Cora, Missy offered discreet aid to the Thieves' Guild when they needed a foot in the door, a safe place to hide, and a healer who tells no tales. In exchange for being on good terms with Highway bandits (which doesn't necessarily mean she's never been robbed- just that they're polite about it), Missy is sometimes called on as a reluctant ally of the Guild.<br><br><em>High Druid (1 point, Ambiguous Conflicted)</em><br>As a messenger of Oinari, Missy has long walked the fringe between civilization and the wild, a true friend to neither. Helping small communities to harness and live in relative harmony with nature has made her some enemies among the High Druid's more extremist agents.<br><br><em>The Emperor (1 point, Ambiguous Negative)</em><br>Centuries ago, the stories say, a kitsune became the queen of a previous Emperor and led him to his downfall. This mischievous demon continued to plague the courts of the Dragon Empire until she was discovered and driven into the swamp. Missy is both a blood relative of this storied kitsune and a minor criminal in her own right, guilty of tax evasion, aiding bandits, trespass, lèse-majesté, and obscenity.<br><br><strong>Backgrounds:</strong><br><em>Oinari's Messenger 5</em><br>(Oinari's Messenger is a renaming of the ranger talent Tracker)<br>Missy is a traveling priestess for Oinari, god(dess) of agriculture, fertility, swordsmiths, traveling merchants, and progenitor of the kitsune from whom Missy draws her demonic heritage. Messengers of Oinari serve as wilderness guides and aid communities with animal husbandry, childbirth, hunting small game, and farming. They are less at home in the deep wilds of the world, far from civilization.<br><br><em>Traveling Merchant 3</em><br>Touring wares across the towns of the Imperial Highways, Missy accumulated a working knowledge of supply and demand, economics, and the habits of the Highway bandits while meeting more rural people than she could ever possibly remember.<br><br><em>Noh Performer 3</em><br>Performers of the folk Noh tradition are trained to portray emotion while wearing masks, becoming masters of nuance and body language. Memorization of the codified Noh plays has lent Missy a colloquial knowledge of the spirits, gods, and history depicted in its 250 stories.<br><br><em>Blesser of Boats 2</em><br>Missy became one of many priestesses in Santa Cora to bless fishing boats, both at christening and at each launch. She knows how to give blessings, and has superficial knowledge of fishing vessels and their captains.<br><br><strong>Racial Trait:</strong> Curse of Chaos<br><br><strong>Talents:</strong><br>Ranger ex Cathedral<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cure Wounds (1st level daily spell)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Heal 1/battle<br>Ranger's Pet<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Alert: You gain a +2 bonus to Wisdom skill checks<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mimic: One battle per day, you gain the use of a racial power of one nearby ally.<br>Tracker<br><br><strong>Feats:</strong><br>1) Ranger ex Cathedral (class)<br><br><strong>Goodies:</strong><br>Greatsword<br>Throwing Knife<br>Fur Armor<br>Marbles, chicken feathers, sneezing dust, itching powder, and a hundred other minor annoyances.<br><em>And a fox named Lucky. </em><br>(http://vaneinwonderland.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/volpe.jpg)

				a bit of a clarification:<br><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote from: p.57</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Towers: Dwarven gold pieces are square with grooved edges. They get their name from the fact that they stack perfectly, though obviously not with anyone else’s gold coins. To start a fight with a dwarf in a tavern, knock over the tower one of them has stacked beside their ale. Sometimes that takes some doing; dwarven coins seem to want to stay stacked instead of falling over. It’s not unheard of to find ancient dwarven treasure troves where the coins are still stacked into perfect towers. Elves joke that it’s not the fact that dragons steal dwarven gold that bothers the dwarves so much, but the fact that the dwarves’ towers get knocked down and scattered throughout the hoard.<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>

I live in an area where spiders with a necrotizing bite are endemic. The culprit is usually MRSA, and an antibiotic treatment that the patient abandoned too soon. MRSA is nosocomial, which means you are at a higher risk of infection when hospitalized. The reason is that most people already have MRSA in their bodies, or at least on their bodies, outside the surface of the skin. Like most bacteria, it's kept in check by the activity of other bacteria. Under normal conditions, MRSA is not suited for taking over your body's defenses. Antibiotic treatment eliminates the competition, and because MRSA is <strong>M</strong>ethicillin <strong>R</strong>esistant, it can withstand antibiotic treatment even after the infection seems to be gone, after most people stop taking the antibiotic.<br><br>That's why antibiotic prescriptions advise patients to take the whole prescribed pill count, and indeed why you need a prescription for those medications. Eliminating bacteria from your body is not actually a good thing.<br><br>I know that swelling of extremities due to blood retention can be treated by over-the-counter antihistamine such as benadryl (non-drowsy). Hydrochlorothiazide (or HCTZ), normally prescribed as a diuretic and blood pressure medication, is a prescription-level treatment if benadryl doesn't get the job done. HCTZ is an extremely cheap medication at about $4 for a month.<br><br>Baby aspirin is sometimes used to treat ailments like venous stasis as well, because it thins the blood and eliminates the risk of blood clots and deep vein thrombosis. But even though that's an over-the-counter medication, it's something you would have to talk to your doctor about, because there are significant risks involved.<br><br>Thankfully it's something I haven't been at risk for, since my job keeps me outdoors and active. In the modern world where people are increasingly sedentary and work at a computer, it's becoming common.

				No problem, basically, be ready to roll initiative (if I can stay awake long enough, I'll post it before I go back to bed).. basically the tavern folks are going to run into a small group of gobbos that are already a bit skittish, they were chased by some dwarf militia.. the dwarves headed back to the main battle

				So unfair, I had to wait a year for mine.<br><br>Check out the second paragraph on Santa Cora, page 279. My playtest character also had the Blesser of Boats background, which was made up on the spot as all we had was a map and a description like "Santa Cora, City of Temples, where the Priestess has built her Cathedral".<br><br>I can't say for certain that one of my backgrounds made it into the book, but it's nice to think that it did!
