Proficiency Bonus is based on character level, but it's not the same as your character level. Each class has it's own chart, but I think all of the Prof. Bonuses progressions are the same... +1 at 1st level to +6 at 20th.

Also; I can't see your picture for whatever reason

I can't believe I missed a WHOLE column on the class table. Must be getting blind. Also the picture thing should be fixed now.

BACKGROUND Cecil was born the only son of traveling merchants, though he only dimly recalls the good times before the economy dried up and the wilderness slowly reclaimed the trade roads. His parents had enough to retire and continue to live out their lives in willful, blissful ignorance of how Fairhaven has crumbled around them, but Cecil could not rest so easily.  For him, the city's decay and the encroaching wilderness became an obsession. Now cresting his mid-thirties, he patrols the outskirts of Fairhaven like a self- appointed warden, keeping tabs on the city's decline, as well as the movements of dangerous creatures.  He has loosely aligned himself with a circle of like-minded druids, and increasingly with the forces of nature themselves, and concerns himself chiefly with restoring balance to Fairhaven and warning its citizens of the horrors that lie just outside their crumbling walls. PERSONALITY Cecil is gruff, cynical, and private, but his rough exterior conceals a great love for all living things, and for Fairhaven itself. Leading a solitary life in the wild has eroded his social skills more than he realizes, and those he meets tend to describe him in terms like "weird" and "hermit" and "old coot".  He especially resents being mistaken for an old man and is especially ashamed of his prematurely greying hair. He doesn't even like his given name, preferring to simply be known as "Mercer". Fortunately, his charity isn't contingent on what people think of him, and he's been known to come to the aid of wayward travelers, providing them with food, temporary shelter, or just a safe trip back home without payment or even thanks.

One note: there was no listing for the price and weight of the herbalism kit, so I compared it to other kits and sort of estimated 25gp cost and 3 lb weight. Does that sit alright with you, WK?

Fine by me... though I am confused as to how you got all of that with only 75 GP and still have almost 60 left 8)

[takewithfood]

Er, don't we get 175 gp? EDIT Nevermind, found your post. ^__^ It's just as well, i was really reaching for ways to spend 175 gp! lol I'll edit.

Oh, and the herbalism kit lets me buy potions of healing for 25gp, right? Or do I need to make those in game?

EDIT EDIT: There, fixed.  I may revise the list, but it should be kosher now.

If Shenron makes a rogue we should have the makings of a really good party here.

I didn't see this until now, but would you be up for taking another player? I've been wanting to give DnD Next a try for a long time.

History: Raj's history is masked in mystery and shadow. He was dropped off at the door of a wealthy merchant when he was a baby. It is unknown of he was rejected by his Elvin Ancestry or his Human Ancestry at birth but regardless of which side abandoned him most elves view him as a weakness in their blood and humans do not quite trust him. Growing up, he lived a life somewhere between a slave and a stepchild. Not really mistreated but not really loved either. The tipping point came when Raj was found in bed with the merchants legitimate son's wife and was thrown out. With no money and nowhere to go he soon found his survival based on thievery and cheap, dirty, brutal mercenary work (usually in seedy bars and as an street enforcer). Raj soon ran afoul with a local thieves guild and the Guild Master saw potential in Raj and decided to recruit him instead of kill him. The officers of the guild realzied that Raj was a natural and he quickly climbed the ranks of the guild but as he did so, he became more professional in his business dealings and his reputation started to precede him. Rumors ran wild about a mysterious and deadly noble man that would leave food, funds, and clothes for orphans in need - soon Raj gained the title of Black Prince. As the rumors grew, many other guild members started to model themselves after the "lethal businessman" and the guild grew in influence and power as Raj started to work more independently and involved himself less with Guild matters.

The problem with your background is that there are no known "other lands" anywhere. As far as anyone in Fairhaven knows, they are the last remnant of any kind of civilization, and that sense of isolation and desperation is very central to the themes of the game.

Aside from that, I wish you would have run your alignment preference by me; like I said, I'm really looking for good aligned characters. I'd consider Neutral characters if there was some compelling reason for them to be Neutral rather than good (and by that, I mean a reason that will enhance the game for everyone, not simply a player's preference to not have to behave themselves)

Ahh, the background thing is an easy fix. Not to worries. I have had this concept of a rogue in my head for a long time. Should have asked more about the back setting.

I did not mean to step on your toes with the alignment. I was hoping my theme/backstory/and concept would be a good enough reason. My guy is not evil - far from it - he is also not a heartless killer. Though he has a cruel streak a mile wide and it takes a certain type of person to steal and do other unsavory things for money. He runs by a strict guild and personal code. If you want me to change it to something else where I can stick pretty close to theme let me know. No worries here.

I'm working on my chapter again and I'm considering a military background. I thought it would bring good to touch bases with you on the kids ds of options there are for that WK. If you have any specific military groups other then the Ritter worked out?

[shenron]

Oh, I updated my background. I think it reflects better the alignment.

Most of the "military" force within the city belongs to the Elves that run things, since they've co-opted the majority of fighting men for the defense of the city. That's divided into two elements, the standing army that defends the city from external threats (and occasionally marches out to attack enemy camps), and the watch which is... well, you know, the city watch you've encountered in every other D&D game ever.

Some people who are wealthy enough (nobles, merchants, etc) might maintain a small, private army for a variety of reasons, though that would certainly be frowned upon and the soldiers in those units would be seen as mercenaries choosing gold over the good of the city (whether that was true or not). The Dwarves have a strong martial tradition and have insisted on maintaining their own army that fights in it's own units and trains on it's own, but they've always made themselves available for the protection of the city.

Since most of the military resources are used in the defense of the city, whatever "fighting men" remain are typically scattered, though I could certainly see instances where smaller militant organizations might have popped up for one reason or another.
