The Dresden Files > DFRPG

Need help for a feet in water character for an up and coming game.

<< < (2/4) > >>

Taran:
+4 Weapons - with a stunt that lets you parry ranged
+3 scholarship - he reads up on Art of War and strategy - maybe a stunt that lets him use it as Lore or make declaration in combat situations
+3 discipline/conviction  (maybe one of the neat conviction stunts?)
+2 Alertness/investigation/Athletics, presence/Rapport?


Riposte is a great stunt
Bless this House/Guide my Hand
A stunt that gives a bonus when defending.  It would work well with riposte.

You probably want a handful of FPs though, so choose your stunts carefully.

As far as Aspects go...definitely one revolving around strategy and swordsmanship.  These martial arts are a whole philosophy so using them aspects of the martial arts as Aspects can really give you some good ones that would be usable in social/physical conflicts and help drive the character's motivations.

Ghostfreak:
Hmmm. This is definitely a step in the right direction, as I was wondering what skills to take exactky. Considering the campaign setting will be taking place in antarctica, so endurance seems to be a must have. Given that the place is a frozen, snowy desert and the fact that jobs their are quite limited. So trying to fit that into the character is a must since I don't wanna be a broke hero. Lol.

Seriously this is a wonderful start, I am still working in backstory to fit him into the story. But this is way more than what I had before; haha! Maybe even make him start out as a pure mortal but deeply grounded in the principles and ideals of miyamoto musashi. So trying to embody that concept is definitely interesting to me. An the +2 refresh being pure mortal would also help in terms of adding to what else I can do.


Truth be told I hate canon bless this house and holy touch for obvious reasons. They are way to reliant on stringent criterias that will be extremely difficult to make as something I can consistently fall back on. Would like to look into much better, reliable options. I am open to suggestions.

Taran:
Antarctica?  I have some interesting monsters that are based on Inuit legends. (Arctic, obviously, but would work).  Also using The Thing as inspiration for a mimicking, shapeshifting monster would be fun.

Let me find that legend though.

Edit:  have a listen.  It’s an children’s story.  It’s creepy.

Ghostfreak:
You are righy. It is creepy, intetesting but also super creepy. Thanks.

Taran:
It lines up well with a fae’s need to keep promise and to not lie.
