Well seen everyone and hell too. I'm building a level one human, Terlesk Rolter Spellbreak, at this moment neutral. He hasn't seen the world enough yet to decide.

I want your help with the "handout" I will give to my dm, listing things such as behavior and such. I'm all for designing character but... In just this one case I want some input.

From a small village, being a peasant and without any funds, he will be working as a "latrine janitor". His first step to making money.

Input goes here:
"He could be a slightly dodgy geezer too. Seems honest enough, in-fact they call him Honest 'Lesky. Maybe he gets the local kids to pickpocket for him. If he's caught selling it, he just says he found it in the toilet and didn't know who's it was. His shack on the outskirts stinks a bit, but he likes it that way. That way the sherif doesn't come near. He's more than once harboured a local who commited a crime, for a price of-course." - Lith

How about the old simpleton-schtick? It works well with the honesty-bit and the whole finding-it-in-the-toilet in conjunction with the latrine-cleaner job.

Behavioural notes could include:
- Honesty
- Has a good sense of fairness(Which is probably why he started adventuring and explain the pickpocketing when he feels he's been shortchanged)
- Follows orders well
- Easily befriends/trusts people
- Gets even if he discovers betrayal.

Looks like a good rogue, but not really intelligent. Instead, focus on DEX & CON, perhaps Charisma too. Yeah, he should be the kind always smiling, and honestly not knowing what you're talking about...

He should also be the local thugs' punching bag: it's too easy to beat down the latrine cleaner. He learned the hard way how to deliver a sneak attack. Perhaps a specialist in feint: facing a thug, he learned that when pointing something behind him, the thug was looking behind him, allowing him to strike him hard.

Went for decent Dexterity (14) and slightly above average Constitution (12) but a somewhat lower strength (8).
I ended up with 14 in Intelligence, 10 Wisdom and 16 Charisma.

So, more of the "Smart guy" rogue.

Honest 'Lesky is thereby semi-smart.

I will give him full ranks of sense motive, no matter his Wisdom. A developed sense of fairness? Here is where I hope that will come in.
His Charisma represents his inherent ability to make others trust him.
Intelligence is planning, in his case, and a natural gift to remember things.

Comments and what, if any, flaws do you think fits on him?

Kleptomanic.... takes a souvenir from everyone he meets.

Smelly.... who wants to question the guy who has **** all over his boots?

Skilled.... Disguise, bluff and sense motive should be maxed out. Choose a few others (preferrably craft, profession or knowledge skills) and keep them fairly high too. He will have plenty of Skill Points to spare, so why not let him show people that he is talented.
