Character Creation

O'awao (Undine Inquisitor - Neutral)

Str 11 (+0)
Dex 19 (+4)
Con 13 (+1)
Int 14 (+2)
Wis 15 (+2)
Cha 17 (+3)

Decided to even out the numbers a bit more. Raised charm and smarts, lowered Wisdom since it won't matter much for the few spells I get, and worried less about Con - hoping the Dex will keep my alive.


Skills:
Diplomacy +7
Intimidate +8
Knowledge (arcana) +6
Knowledge (nature) +6
Knowledge (religion) +6
Knowledge (planes) +6
Perception +6
Sense Motive +3
Stealth +8

He has Swim speed 30 ft and doesn't need to make Swim check thanks to an Undine ability, and next level will probably boost Sense Motive, Spellcraft, and Survival.

Thinking of taking Rapid Reload to reload a heavy crossbow with a move action (instead of full-round action), though, this means Precise Shot (shooting into melee w/o penalty) won't come into play until 5th-level.


Also, I was thinking of taking this Alternative Racial Trait from the list of options:

Hydrated Vitality: An undine with this racial trait gains fast healing 2 for 1 round anytime she submerges completely within a body of natural salt water, fresh water, or brackish water. Stagnant, poisoned, or trapped water (such as an artificial pit or a bag of holding) does not activate this ability. The undine can heal up to 2 hit points per level per day with this ability, after which it ceases to function. This racial trait replaces water affinity.

The wording seems a bit off because it says you can heal up to 2 hp per level per day, so at 5th-level that would be 10 hp per day. But it also says you gain the "fast healing 2" for 1 round, but it would take 5 rounds to heal 10 hp. How would this work? Do you have to get in and out of the water every round to reactivate it for 1 round?


The traits I'm considering are:
Basic: Anatomist (combat) - fits into his hunter side
Basic: Devotee of the Green (faith) - nature
Basic: Ease of Faith (faith) - getting along with or at least tolerating others in a very different land
Basic: Scholar of the Great Beyond (faith) - fits the setting

Campaign: Missionary (outlander) - fits his story

Kit - Gnome Gunslinger

Str 10 (+0)
Dex 17 (+3)
Con 13 (+1)
Int 16 (+3)
Wis 17 (+3)
Cha 13 (+1)

Traits:
Rich family for sure

trying to decide between (racial) Rapscallion or leaning towards Favored daughter and treating the Gatehouse as my homeland. Kit grew up here and her family based her but she knows about the planes and has travel for work.

Skills:
Acrobatic: 7
Craft Alchemy: 7
Knowledge (planes): 5
Perception: 9
Slight of hand: 7
Stealth: 11

trying to decide where to put my last skill point:
knowledge local to boost the favored daughter?
profession some sort of trade type thing?

I printed off the Gunslinger thing and stuff about firearms. I figured out the cost of ammo for me to create it myself.

Not sure about Feat. Possibly Rapid Reload, quick draw, Point Blank, or Dodge

That's all I got for now.

You can choose whatever traits you want but from the DM's perspective I think the Favored Daughter trait could work nicely with the setting. Especially if you're a gnome gunslinger looking to have a connection to gnomish arms dealers... I'm just say'in.

Any of these traits could work but to me, the 'Ease of Faith' and 'Scholar of the Great Beyond' have vibes that fit into the setting. Though it's always nice to have a +1 to crits from the anatomist...

It would be interested to see a character seek out a balance between 'Ease of Faith' and 'Missionary'

Favored daughter it is! I think I'll drop that extra skill point in knowledge local because it makes sense.

Now starts Operation Get-Behind-The-Inquisitor.

Siival was born in a small Eberon town to human parents. Having always been a prankster, Siival was prone to get in trouble. This combined with his Sylph heritage made him stand out in their small community. The only adult who seemed to take him seriously was Galor, the town Mage, who had lived long enough to both understand the value of a clever young boy who liked to think outside the box, as well as not take things too seriously himself. When Siival came of age, he was pretty quick to get out of town to somewhere he could find more anonymity, heading towards the biggest city he knew of, Sharn. He immediately found that his pranks were looked upon with much less amusement in the bigger, faster pased city. Spending his first few days in lockup, Siival learned a valuable lesson in not getting caught. Realized his minor tricks and magics, which seemed to always work in his small hometown, proved too easy to see through by more experienced folk, he immediately set upon the task if finding better tricks. The next few years were spent in study, until he heard about a city between worlds from a traveling group of gnomish arms dealers. Immediately curious, he convinced the gnomes to take him with them, and has just recently arrived in Silent Falls.


Siival (Wizard Sylph. Divination or Illusion specialist.)
Strength: 12
Dexterity: 15 (Racial +2)
Constitution: 11 (Racial -2)
Intelligence: 19 (Racial +2)
Wisdom: 15
Charisma: 17

Still deciding a lot of the details, but Siival is going to focus on illusions and trickery in combat. He's not really the traditional "face" mentality, but he'll have pretty good stats towards this, and could play that role. Although, he'll probably end up using bluff more than some serious characters might like. The truth doesn't come naturally to him.

Kit: Siival would immediately like Kit, as gnomes tend to like trickery and pranks.
O'awao: He would recognize O'awao's Undine background and feel a sense of connection through heritage, water and air having always been complementary elements. While he might not understand O'awao's serious side, he would treat him like a cousin.
Azel: Siival wouldn't know what to make of Azel. As an Oracle, Azel is probably pretty well suited to seeing through Siival's illusions, which would interest the trickster and make Azel a likely target of harmless pranks.
Fijit: Siival immediately likes gnomes, and tends to like druids, who understand his elemental and outsider heritage better than most races.

O'awao isn't a front line fighter, but he might be really good at holding off foes. This is his standard armor class:

AC 16 (10 +4 Dex +2 armor)

However, when he gets all his extras going - which could take a couple rounds and only once per day - he can probably hold off most low-level foes:

AC 25 (10 +4 Dex +2 armor +2 shield +2 deflection +1 sacred +4 total defense)
