07-15-05, 01:13 PM Hi! We started a new campaign a couple weeks ago, and I'm having some trouble getting my guy some personality. The set up is we've all been drafted into the militia, and we're 2nd level, so we're kind of the go-to guys if something weird is going on. My character is a scout that has been working for the aristocrat-bard's dad for a long time. My job is to keep him out of trouble. I'm LG, with NG tendancies. The aristo-bard is a CN bookworm, and the wizard is a CN troublemaker, who may or may not be the bastard son of the the aristo-bard's dad.

I watched "Last of the Mohicans" for inspiration, and will be watching LOTR again to get more inspiration from Legolas. I might even watch the Patriot.

My role in the party is complicated, because I'm the "tank" and a scout, and a bit of a skill and knowledge monkey, but I lack the disable devices and open locks bits of a true rogue.

Stat-wise, I did pretty decent, as did the wizard. The bard wasn't so lucky. I don't think it's going to be a big combat campaign...more of an exploring and questing game.

So basically, I need help coming up with more personality than being good at following orders and rolling my eyes at the boring minutae of the bard's book-learning. We've only had one session, and it had no combat, so I don't even know how good my build is.

I guess I'm just having trouble being LG and a hit-and-run specialist. I'm working my way to Spring Attack by level 6, and I'll probably even have Cleave by then. After that, I may go for ranged combat, especially if we can hire ourselves a "real" tank.

07-15-05, 04:39 PM Yeah, I'm looking for a code of honor that doesn't involve rescuing the aristo-bard every week.

The wizard is going for some kind of griffon-rider PrC. That, I could probably deal with.

I'm just trying to get the LGness to jive with the at home in the woodsness. Maybe I should read more of that Hunt for Red October guy.
