Character Sheets

[Carthrat]

The origins of the lady known as the Wandering Knight are not entirely clear to others. She has been spottered wandering the planes, a forlorn woman who finds the everyday fascinating and views life through a strange lens. When asked, she claims to be searching for her family, who are lost across the multiverse. Pressing her further on the matter, however- or even asking her what her family looks like- brings only a sad smile to her face and a quick change of the topic. Occasionally- when into her cups- the knight speaks of some great battle in which her family was lost, and many conclude that to deal with her grief, she simply pretended they had gone 'missing'.

And yet that is the truth, for her family are the cards within the Deck of Many Things. She was the Knight, sworn to service, and yet her master perished when she fell into the formless chaos of Limbo. Sucked into a vortex of magic, her body was scattered across the planes- as was the Deck. But an artifact is not so easily destroyed, and it was merely seperated. To the Knight, it was truly like being torn asunder, as though her mind, body and soul were all thrown into the grinding mill. To her, it is like some vital part is missing; a human missing a limb would be in similar straits. She will not be whole, she cannot be complete- until the deck is built again once more, and she can rejoin it again.

So she wanders and searches, looking for traces wherever she can find them. But unshackled by her usual terms of service, she's starting to take an actual interest in the world around her- where everything is curious and everything is viewed, one way or another, through the imagery of the Deck.

She appears as the archetypical knight, with a proud and noble bearing accompanying her glittering armour. She speaks softly, but is curious about many aspects of life, showing equal interest in both the wonders of the planes and the simple parts of the daily grind. Battle is her forte, her purpose, and she never sees reason to quail before any contest of might.

Slaad Claw (Ex): Knight's right hand is a claw ripped off a green slaad. It can be used to make claw attacks at 1d6. She can use large weapons in it.

Inherent Bonuses: Knight has a +1 inherent bonus to constitution.

Night Haunt: 1/day--dancing lights, prestidigitation, unseen servant

Searing Light: 1/day, CL 12

Embodiment of the Deck (Su): The Knight literally is a card of the Deck of Many Things and was never meant to be a free-roaming agent. She does not have a soul in the normal sense (and thus cannot be targeted by effects such as Trap the Soul), and nor can she be ressurrected if slain- she would simply vanish, replaced with the Knight card, stripped of almost all it's power and useless until reunited with the rest of the Deck (as a small comfort, the card is still a minor artifact and is virtually indestructable.) She can, however, intuit the direction of her nearest brother card, as long as it's on the same plane as her, and can come within one mile by instinct alone. She gets a +20 in any Knowledge: Arcana check related to the Deck of Many Things.

Cards (Su): The Knight is able to draw upon the power of the other cards she has recovered. She can invoke one card per day for every four levels she possesses, though she can never invoke the same card twice in a day.

Knight "I can't lose."
Unlimited(Su): It is only appropriate that a being created for war is a master of every tool of war. By laying hands upon a particular weapon, Knight can instantly determine the best ways to use it. She gains proficiency in it if she doesn't have it already, and any Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization, Weapon Mastery or any other feats she possesses that are tied to a particular kind of weapon are applied to the new item (losing their attachment to the old in the process.)

Star "Justice Prevails!"
Starlight Aura(Su)
As a standard action, Knight may invoke Starlight Aura around herself or invoke it on another person by touch. A brilliant starlight radiance surrounds the subject, protecting them from attacks, giving them added ability and dazzling their foes. First, the warded creature gains a +4 deflection bonus to armor class. Second, the warded creature gains a +2 bonus to a statistic of Knight's choice. Third, the warded creature glows with dazzling starlight. Any creatures within 30ft (including allies) are dazzled with no saving throw. Creatures that do not use normal sight to see or are blind are immune to the dazzle effect, as is any creature who chooses to close their eyes(Though they suffer the normal penalties to being unable to see.) Starlight Aura lasts for one round per hit die Knight possesses.

Gem "Ahhhhhh!"
Gemcutter(Su)
By invoking the Gem card, Knight gains the ability to cut as hard as adamantine. Twice per day as a free action, you may declare a single melee attack as a gemcutter attack. You ignore the hardness of an object as if your weapon is made of adamantine. Further, you bypass damage reduction magic, silver, cold iron, adamantine or mithral.

Talons "Take away all the treasures of the world..."
Talons (Sp)
As Greater Dispel Magic, CL equal to Knight's HD.

Skull
Skull (Su) (DC: 21)
Calling on Skull, you may make a melee touch attack as as standard action. If you hit, the  target must make a fortitude save (DC 10 + charisma modifier + 1/2 hit dice) or take 1d8  constitution drain. Knight has a +2 racial bonus to the DC check.

Deadly Charge: 1/day, when mounted, Knight can do x3 damage on a charge (or x4 with a lance.)
Burst of Speed: Doubles the speed of a mount for a round when charging; if used more than once each day, the mount must make a will save (DC 20) per additional use or take 2d6 damage.

Iron Tower Sliver: This lance is said to be a piece of the Iron Tower. The truth of this isn't known, but it's a nasty and sharp lance. It functions as a lance+1. Twice per day it may rust up to a 10 foot cube of iron or like material, ruining it. Nonmagical weapons or armor hit with the lance are destroyed, magical ones are allowed a DC 17 reflex save to survive.

Golembane: +1 Construct Bane Longbow. Arrows fired count as Adamantine for the purposes of damage reduction. Deals 1 point of subdual per shot due to the high tensile strength of the bow.

Rope Barding of Shrinking: When put on a creature, they decrease by one or two size categories

Woundflame: Woundflame. Flaming longsword +1 keen, burns with an eerie green flame. Its blade is anatheamic to life, granting it a x3 crit multiplier and a 17-20 threat range. However the wielder becomes a carrier of Filth Fever (DC 22, 1d3 dex, 1d3 con). The wielder is immune but anyone in close contact runs the risk of being infected. Incidentally, the appraiser got Filth Fever from handling the blade and is charging you for the remove disease casting. It'll be included in the total appraisal cost. 3,000 GP.

Bloodeye: Heavy Steel Shield+3. Whenever the wielder is targeted by a gaze attack, the originator of the gaze takes 2d10 damage. This power can affect a creature only once per encounter. 11,000 GP.

Twinkle: Bastard Sword+1. When under natural starlight or moonlight, the wielder of Twinkle gains a +5 bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, saving throws and ability checks. 10,000 GP.

Black Bough: This greatclub+1 is designed to slay yugoloths. Against yugoloths, it's enhancement bonus increases by +3 and each strike deals an additional 3d6 damage.  

Bastian's Gauntlets:  When worn, these bloody gauntlets cause symbols to dance around the wearer at all times. These symbols grant spell resistance equal to 10+hit dice.  However, for each spell resisted, the wearer takes damage equal to 1+the level of the spell resisted.

Mostigram: Greatsword+5. When wielded this weapon grants the wielder an insight bonus to armor class equal to his or her charisma modifier.

Dawnlight Crystal Armor - Full plate+2, can shed true sunlight for 1 minute per day with a command word.

[Sierra]

Born to a (gleefully mongrelized) family of traders, Mari grew accustomed to the strangeness and myriad variety of interdimensional travel at an early age. Throughout early childhood, she traveled from plane to plane with her parents, meeting all manner of diverse people and cultures. All of this ended very abruptly when the company was slaughtered one night while out on an expedition.

She never knew exactly what happened, whether it was the result of delicate negotiations going disastrously awry or whether a group of opportunistic criminals raided the caravan. Being eight years old then, she wasn't given to know everything about the group's dealings all the time. She was asleep when the attack happened, woke to the sounds of violence, exited the tent in time to see the guards and her parents overrun, and proceeded to do the only thing most children could think to do in such circumstances: run like hell. To the best of her knowledge, no one else got out alive (certainly not her parents, and probably not her younger siblings--who she sometimes regrets not seeing to safety, she being the eldest of the lot).

She learned to survive by stealing what she needed when no one was looking, hitching rides on planar ships (often unnoticed) to other realms when she grew bored of a place or the locals started to catch on to her presence, and falling in with youth gangs for safety in numbers any time an urban population was large enough to support them. She'd had enough education as a child for all of this to feel unfulfilling, though, and in time her thefts grew grander, slipping in and out of secured locations becoming something of a hobby over the following twelve years. The actual plunder rarely mattered--mostly, it was a personal challenge and a means of manifesting the fact of her continued existence.

Rootless and still leading an undirected life, she wanders from place to place just for the sake of seeing what's out there. Philosophies, grand causes, and crusades generally fail to reach her. Mari prefers to avoid confrontation, but will fight for people she likes. She'll talk to anyone who has something interesting to say and isn't inclined to judge other people. Only dogmatic thinking and truly heinous crimes earn her disdain.

In another life, she could've been something quite different--risen to take over the family business, perhaps, or married to some wealthy patron and thus acquired a position of local prominence--but circumstances didn't afford her such opportunities. Mari doesn't think about this much, or look back on it with bitterness. Most days, it's enough to be alive and entertained.

Only five feet tall and skinny as a rail, she's built for sneaking through tight spaces. With a long mane of stark white hair, and eyes of such a light blue as to nearly be colorless, she may seem a tad unearthly at first, but she is usually gregarious and personable when interacting with people.

Background:

Traveling the planes for as long as she could remember, a song in her heart and at her lips, Eva was a cheerful sight in any inn, quick with a story and a song and often seen among traveling performers.  One of the rare remaining members of the Silvertongue family, Eva last saw her father slipping through a portal with a group of friends for 'one more show' in the City of Brass close to seventy years ago.  A carefree spirit, she figures someday they'll cross paths again.

She was left in the care and raised by the illustrious Taliesin and his trope, learned in the way of playing in raunchy inns and the most noble of courts.  Taliesin was a player in more than just the material plane, and so it was that she became familiar as well with the castles of the djinn and the grottos of the tritons, of the fencing of rogues and the cantrips of the mage towers.  She was a natural to the stage life and always a hungry student, learning deeply of the various cities to whence she journeyed, but never more comfortable than when on the road.  When Taliesin retired close to the end of his human life, she took to the road with many a trope trying to find her place, a lady of many mysteries and faces, but was never long with any company. With silken voice and masterful talent she always found welcome at the next and made her way easily.  Like a hummingbee, she wandered from place to place across the material plane and beyond, scribing the stories in her own book of songs, an ever growing series of odes and ballads to the places she'd been.

Wearing many a facade, Eva is oft known simply by her name, as even dear friends find she often is wearing a new face or form each time they meet.  "It is my act, for how boring it would be to be the same each day?" She would wonder in answer.  Hiding her beauty behind such a shield, she carried her music far and wide.  She longed though to see the places beyond the edge of the horizon, the lands of shadow and worlds of mist, the realms where fire roared across the earth or where the angels sang their melodies.  So too did she come to begin joining adventuring groups, staying but a while here or there, longer as they traveled more, her songs lifting their spirits and her blade sharp in their favor.

Simple:
Eva is an explorer and a performer, a drifting freespirit who is comfortable among pretty much any crowd or group.  Her motivation of late is to see the planes and spin new songs about them, always carrying notes of her latest journeys.

Background: As most who concern themselves with the Upper and Lower planes know, the Guardinals are "ruled" by Talisid the Celestial Lion and his Companions, each one of them representing the best that thier race has to offer. There is, however, one race of Guardinal that is not represented in the Companions; the lowely Mustevals, the weakest of all Guardinals. Some Mustevals are irritated or angered at this fact, feeling as if they have been overlooked and certain that this oversight will be swiftly corrected as soon as it comes to Talisid's attention. Others, such as the Musteval named Adail Levif, understand that this problem must lie with thier own people, that there are simply none of them worthy enough to run with the Companions. Many of them await the day that a hero will arise from thier kind, proving to the Companions, the other Guardinals and the rest of the multiverse just how strong they really are.

But there is one Musteval who is not content to wait for such a hero. Adail Levif believes with all his tiny heart that heroes are made, not born, and thus has set out from the Blessed Feilds to travel, learn, train and better himself. So that one day, perhaps, his people might finally be equals. This day is a long way off he knows, but he is a patient mouse.

In his search for self-perfection he naturally traveled first to the mountains of Celestia, where he sought out the monestaries of the Archons. There, he trained night and day for years, learning the ways of Order and how they applied to Good. It was here that he learned the power of discipline, and how to do battle with naught more then his bare paws, a path that suited his ideals well. For if he succeeded, he would have none claim that it was only with the aid of a magic blade or a book of spells. It was also here that he earned the nickname "Nail Balancer" for one of his more unique training methods. The title amuses him and thusly he takes it with him in his travels.

After learning what he could from Celestia, Adail set off for Arborea to seek the courts of the Eladrins. While they didn't seem overly popular amoung the Archons' halls, he understood that both were forces of Good in their own rights and that he would better understand true Good by learning their ways as well. For their part, the Eladrin seemed to find him equally amusing and endearing and though he stood out like a sore thumb surrounded by these creatures of elfin grace, they accepted him without hesitation. Here he learned to draw upon the power of his home to create magic, as well as an odd affinity for the element of fire. While here, he joined a "club" of sorts known as the Knights of Arbor, a group dedicated to maintaining their skills at razor sharpness so they would always be ready to confront Evil no matter when or where it raised it's head. As one of the weakest warriors ever admitted into the Knights he was given the rank of "White Rook", a title he hopes to one day improve but wears with pride while it's his.

Taking his leave of Arborea, Adail has most recently turned his gaze towards the Heroic Domains of Ysgard. Where better to test himself then in a plane of eternal epic conflict?

[Zephyrus]

Nikkolai's earliest memory is of that of his parents' house burning. His sorcerous power developed unusually early and he had little to no control over his small bursts of magical ability. He was prone to spurts of magefire during these "fits", as his parents termed them, which resulted in the eventual loss of the family home. Nikkolai's parents had no patience or tolerance for a child that was prone to belching fire and so, they apprenticed him to a fairly well known self-taught sorceror, the Lady of the Green Kirtle. The Lady, in truth an old hag, was a spiteful old woman who took great delight in mocking Nikkolai with her superior knowledge and power. She placed a spelled chain around his neck to ensure his obedience to her, forcing him to become a slave to her whims in all but name. He fetched rare ingredients, made potions, cleaned the house, and maintained the herb garden. Her lessons were harsh and the knowledge she imparted was only the bare minimum the boy needed to control his burgeoning power.

Nikkolai cried often those first few weeks, but as the years passed, he grew into a hardened, stoic young man. He came to hate the old woman with the kind of quiet intensity that only those who have a hate just as strong can recognize. But he was patient. He learned everything he could from her, stealing into her library to read her forbidden tomes, begging for the most obscure hint of knowledge, and practicing every spell he learned until he achieved perfection. In his mid-teens, when the Lady was reasonably sure that the boy was completely in her thrall, she revealed to him her plans to become a lich. He would life out the rest of his life in slavery to her and there was naught he could do.

The day came when the Lady of the Green Kirtle could not, or would not, teach him any longer. She had finally amassed all of the necessary things needed, through his unwilling assistance, to complete the ritual. He could not bear the thought of being under the rotting eye of that cruel old hag until the day she thought he had outlived his usefulness and killed him. So on the night before his 21st birthday and coincidentally, the night of the Lady's transformation, Nikkolai took advantage of the Lady's weakened state after her transformation and stole her phylactery, seeking some small measure of revenge against the woman who had been so cruel to him. He packed a few books and supplies and set fire to her two story house, only this time, he controlled the magefire with an ease much unlike his infancy. He fled the city to escape the authorities and the Lady, eventually finding that the easiest way to avoid detection was by slipping onto different planes where his trail would be harder to follow. He hid the phylactery on one of the planes in order to doom the Lady to an eternity of endless searching, and kept hopping from plane to plane, hoping to remain safe and undiscovered.

For a year, he's been drifting from plane to plane, acquiring more knowledge of the arcane and increasing his power. He lives in almost constant fear of the Lady, but he hides it well. He has no friends, no allies, no permanent home. Power is all that matters to him and his own personal safety. Nothing more, nothing less.

Background:

Spoiler: ShowHide

In the early days of his memory, Kamvakua Niomel the StrongHeart was often a member of the hunting teams for the Avakithera tribe that roamed through Oearth's splendid Azure Mountains.  Raised in a life of competition and teamwork, Kamvakua was a natural born talent, tall, strong of arm and skillful in all matters of the mountainside.  He was expected to one day challenge for chieftain of his tribe as he conquered greater and greater prizes, each week guiding his team out to further vistas.  Quiet in contemplation and boisterous in celebration, he was a popular sight among the younger goliaths.  His days were spent on the mountainsides and the forests and his nights in song and dance, for these years were peaceful ones among the Avakithera.  Often traveling bare-chested, his rocky visage was marked with the signs of his victories, scrawled in the natural growth of his red mottled skin.

It was in his twentieth winter, that word came from their scouts that a strange creature had been seen in the mountains.  Chieftain Keoth, a wily and mighty goliath in his two hundredth year, took the notice cautiously, worried that perhaps it may be grey dwarves or drow which had not been seen in the mountains for over a hundred years.  Not wanting any scouts to think their mountains were now undefended, after years of peace, he sent out a team to investigate and capture the creature to see what it was.  As one of the most fit members of the tribe, Kamvakua was chosen as captain to lead their group onward and so did the hunt begin.  Traversing down the mountains and through the woods, they sought signs of the strange creature.  It wasn't but a few days later that they caught a glimpse of it on the horizon, a short stubby humanoid it seemed.  Different prey than they'd ever hunted before.  They marched swiftly, comfortable in their forest lands and moreso as they chased the creature up the mountains.  This was their home and swift of foot and strong of body, they had no thought of defeat in their minds.  But as fast as they were, this strange creature never stopped, never rested, never stumbled.  Where they gained in their swift footspeed and shortcuts, they lost every time they stopped to take a breath.  After a week, the creature was close to leaving their lands, and many of the group was beginning to give up hope, voicing that they were rather far from their tribal home by now.  Kamvakua though had rarely ever known defeat, and was the sturdiest hunter in all the village to his own eyes.  He sent the others home, a strange gesture in the very team oriented Avakithera, but he could see that they were even more tired than him, and any further journeying would be endangering their lives.

He set off alone...  traversing down the mountain, he swore to never rest until he caught the strange person, traveling fiercely for over a week, closing steadily as he too did not sleep.  It was an exhausted and almost broken Kamvakua that eventually caught up to the man, a dwarf standing not even half as tall as he did, a strange pike in his hand as he was dressed in the strangest of garb, some kind of hood over his red and grey hair, a huge beard at his chin.  He was unlike any that Kamvakua had ever seen.  A creature most strange to the nomadic tribesman.  The creature looked out at the exhausted giant, barely standing on his feet by force of will alone who'd been stalking him through the mountains.  "So you've finally caught up to me lad...  now I think you'll find me no easy prey for banditry even from a fellow as big as you... but something tells me you aren't really after my gold."

So did Kamvakua meet the traveling dwarven warrior Cathan Cedric, trailblazer and follower of Fharlanghn.  Their battle was short, and frankly, one-sided, but impressive none the less for one who had been traveling without rest for weeks.  Cathan stayed and helped nurse the strange giant back to health afterwards, teaching him a bit more fluent common than the strange half-spattering the Goliath had known earlier, followed by writing and dwarven as the Cathan couldn't really stand to be talking in common for long periods of time and refused Kamvakua's suggestion of trying to learn Gol-kaa.  When Kamvakua asked Cathan why he traveled so, and how he had lost, the dwarf enigmatically said it was the depth of their contests.  He pointed to the horizon and said he was chasing that, and so hearing, a fire lit in Kamvakua's heart.  He had never conquered a horizon, nor had any Goliath he had ever known.  It was a challenge beyond challenges.  Before, he would never think of such, but here was such a small man doing just that.  Kamvakua never returned to his tribe, choosing the road of Exile, though he never thought of it as so.  He joined Cathan on his journey as soon as he was well, the two traveling together and sparring under the hot sun for some time.

It was from Cathan that Kamvakua polished his fighting skills to a level unheard of by many of his kinsmen, matching blades with the smaller dwarf, and eventually becoming quite skilled in the battle strategies of his pike.  The two traveled over many a country, across the seas, and clear past half the world.  Eventually it was as well, that Kamvakua learned of Cathan's secret, a pair of magic shoes that had let him best even him.  Such cleverness indeed, to enter a hunt prepared for it to last forever, to prepare for a journey to the end of the world and beyond.  It was a much changed Kamvakua, who eventually chose a separate path from the aging dwarf, his skills battle hardened, as his cloaked form had lost for a time much of the brash surety of youth, replacing it with the calm confidence and vigor of a traveling warrior.  But his eyes looked higher still, past the horizon that the great guardian of roads rested upon.  He had learned from a wizard some time ago of things called Planes, alternate worlds sitting right there, just beside theirs.  He hadn't gotten all of it, but it was an adventure that beckoned to his heart...a road not just like any road, but beyond the Oearth itself.

It was by this that he made his way to the plane of Earth, surviving by mere fortune upon the underground realm as he learned more the virtues of study before traveling upon the planes.  Saved by arriving near a dwarven settlement, he learned a fair bit of respect quite quickly for the dangers of the planes.  Staying there a while, he aided them in facing off against the Dao and some of the other nearby residents of their world, taking in the strange sights of the tunneled earth.  But eventually he desired to stand straight once more and sought forth at their advice a portal to the higher plane of Aborea.

Here he spent a year among the beautiful woods, the sylvan glades and otherwise.  While a traveling goliath was quite the unusual sight, it was hardly the strangest thing to cross the planes, and being a talented hunter, he rarely got into direct confrontations with the various residents, roaming across the sights of Arvandor.  He even strangely enough, traversed into the borders of the Selderine, learning a bit of elvish culture and language during his journey there and seeing the sights and grandeur they had accomplished under the guiding hand of Corellon Larethian.  It so happened one day when he was beginning to think it was time to move on, he came across a portal glowing beckoningly in a glade, and taking it as an invitation, Kamvakua entered, leaving Arvandor entirely and coming to a place of wonder, woodlands exotic and different from the fine elven growths that were sported along Arvandor.  It was through this that he came to find himself upon the Court of Stars...

To Be Continued...

<Dracos2> Gateguard, well, at a high/basic level, I was planning that we were somewhat friends, having met around the Court of the Stars while I was training there and that you impressed me with your spunk and desire to be a legendary hero for your race.
<Dracos2> We split when I wandered off somewhere else and you headed to Valhalla to train (Sometime in the last couple years).
* Gateguard nods. Sure, that works. You prolly wandered off while I was still training there, as Adail pretty much litteraly went from Arborea to Ysgard right before game start. A couple weeks at most.
<Dracos2> ah, then entirely possible. *nods*
<Kodinner> Gate, if you bow out this week, post on the game board so I know?
* Gateguard nods
<Kallen> How are you guys going to run into each other?
<Dracos2> Along a training field in the Court of Stars, would likely work best.
<Dracos2> bbs
<Kallen> No, I mean, in-game.
<Gateguard> my thought was Adail going "hey, I know a guy who would seriously want in on a quest that will take him Gods only know where" and shelling out for a Sending to him or something like that.

Cheat notes:
http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rg/20060321a

Note to self: Get Shield and Pike Style next level.  Then Power Attack as feat after that.  Or Combat Intuition (for sizing up challenges) or Armor Spec (+2 DR).  possibly ask about chaos rage (+4 to barbarian class level).   Or Adaptive Flanker - If we have trouble flanking all the time, get this instead since it would let mari always sneak attack.

<Dracos> Chaos Rage
<Dracos> [Anarchic]
<Dracos> (DR326 p80)
<Dracos> Rage class ability
<Dracos> Chaotic alignment
<Dracos> Intimidate: 4 ranks
<Dracos> Your effective Barbarian level for purposes of using your Barbarian Rage class ability increases by +4, up
<Dracos> to your HD. This benefits a multi-classed Barbarian or one with Racial HD.
<Dracos> Gain a Chaotic Aura equal to your Character level. It can discerned by Detect Chaos spell or ability.

Dune has also approved this feat.

Synergy thoughts with teammates:

I'm a ranged flanker type.  Generally with my init I'll go later in the round, so I won't generally be setting Mari up for a one round finish, but equally, anything I approach will generally quickly become more vulnerable to everyone.  For a bit I'll be weak on the ac/saves front a little.  but with stats should be good.  Good playoffs:
Cure Moderate stuff in the wing for safety since I'm a rage based build.
Enlarge moves my range and power highly.  Possibly a good nikkolai trick.  
Adail to my diagnoal side, me beside/behind, Mari on the other side.  Flanking goodness for everyone, combined with a nice trip effect.   Nyum.  Oh well.  I should generally be able to make a good support/midliner alongside Mari while Adail and Knight are the front and Nikkolai brings the artillary to the back.   We'll have less buffs, but hopefully lots of trips will help out :)
