A new race for me this time around, a skinwalker. In this
case our lycanthrope blooded character is of were bear decent. Smart and nimble
but with an incredibly low charisma. Maybe he’s ugly, gruff or socially inept.
Maybe he’s all three. From a large family formerly slaves but now freeholders
in the democracy of Andoran. Apparently he’ll do anything for love, craving
social acceptance, although even with his low charisma he’s flittered through
quite a few relationships. But ow did he come to be a devotee of the Cardinal
Martyr, the Empyreal Lord Vildies?

Influential Associate: [The Seer] You were close to a person
who claimed to see the future—perhaps an oracle, seer, prophet, or merely some
festival charlatan. Whether they're true or a trick, you've seen visions of
distant places and of times that may come to pass. The seer's influence either
made you into an optimist with a drive to change the future or a fatalist
resigned to accept it.
Conflict: [Major Theft] You stole expensive items.
Conflict Subject: Lover or former lover.
Conflict Motivation: Love.
Conflict Resolution: [Denial] You feel little if any regret, and deny the event mostly so others won’t judge you. Few if any know of your part in the conflict, and your constant denials are meant to keep it that way.

Relationships] You’ve engaged in a number of partnerships, but for some reason
or another your relationships always fail.
Drawback: [Social Acceptance] You want others to accept you, to believe you’re special and worthy of merit. You are self-conscious about your social flaws and breaches of etiquette. Rejection is among your greatest fears. You might go to extraordinary lengths to be accepted by or seek favor from your peers.

His stats reflect more of a wererat heritage than that of a wearbear. He's got a dexterity build which suggest rat like wariness, not the hulking strength of a bear. I'd say you're looking at rouge or slayer material here.
ReplyDeleteNot all creatures of the same type are created equal which is why race is chosen first then the rolls are made straight down the line and racial bonuses applied after.
ReplyDeleteThe high Dex certain could mean he'd become a slayer but he has a high int as well he could become an Int based caster. He could also become a mobile fighter, unchained barbarians allow for Dex based builds as well.
So for the total package it's not just about what the stats reflect but what does the background information say about him. How do both hid natural abilities and his life events lead him to become whatever he does.
