I would like that, could you inbox me when there is a free space?

Ok, here's the final draft of Siri, assuming you don't find anything amiss, Ulthar. For now, I will sit patiently and wait for Martel to fall asleep.

Spoiler:  

Siri Flaire grew up on the outskirts of the Kingdom's wilderness. He was fascinated by natural things throughout his childhood and was evntually apprenticed to a woodsman, with the eventual future in mind for him to be a wilderness guide or some such. However, as Siri reached puberty, his magickal powers began to manifest, and after an incident that nearly burned down half the valley (Siri just wanted a little more warmth from the fire, that's all), the woodsman returned him to his family and advised them to find a wizard to tame the boy.

That's just what they did, packing Siri off to the Guild Hall in Thornhaven. Much was made of "Young Master Flaire's" natural aptitude for the study of magick, but Siri's heart was still among the forests and glens of the wilderness. He studied just enough to make his teachers happy, and bided his time until the day he made Journeyman Wizard. The very day he received his pendant, he flew away from the guild hall (literally, breaking seven distinct regulations while doing so) and returned to the wilderness he hadn't seen in over seven years.

Finding himself short of coin, he agreed to join an adventuring party, and discovered that, among other things, trusting himself to the magick of others wasn't always a great idea.

Flameman -- WIll do!

Dragyn -- I haven't finished cranking your numbers yet, but a couple variances in the skills have popped up.
For 4 points, Herb Lore should be 15, yes?
Flail is Hard, not Average -- that makes it 13.
Flight is HT-based, not DX -- that makes it 10 (and before you ask, I do not allow the attribute substitution perk; if you want more maneuverability, take aerobatics).

Sorry.. Aerobatics was what I meant anyway.. that's a function of my leftover 3rd edition cobwebs.

Here's the changes I made.

Changed Flight to Aerobatics, moved 2 points from Herb Lore, now have Aerobatics-12 [4]. Siri really likes flying.

Changed Flail-13 [8] and Bolas-12 [2] for Staff-14 [8], Knife-12 [1], and Knife Throwing-12 [1].

From Equipment, dropped the Bolas, added a Quarterstaff (which can be Fine for what it's worth), and added a Long Knife.

I also juggled some points around in magic skills, mainly taking them from manuevers and putting them into college skills, which makes him a little more versatile on top of it all. Thanks to Lamech for the suggestion.


Sorry for the mistakes.. I guess that's the danger of making a character while working. :)

[Dragyn]

It would be amusing if the first thing I have to do in character is attempt a Great Healing on Rorik.

[Dragyn]

Prepare Game, Effective skill 14, Energy 2 (x3), Time to cast, 10 seconds.

Ow!

Sometimes I forget that my fantasy characters look at injury on a different scale than I do, but that sort of thing reminds me.

Dragyn --
I finally got your info entered into GCA... I had to hand-crank some of the magic stuff; either I don't have the right gd4 or their version of Ritual spells is funky. Anyhow, after triple-checking everything, I come up with 106 points in skills & spells.... one of us is missing something somewhere...

Ok.. I'll double check again.

[Dragyn]

Well, I got 105. Not sure how that happened, but I'll fix it.

As for the further 1 point descrepancy, the only thing I can think of is possibly Stealth. I took the IQ default and then improved from there for 1 point. Did you do it that way? Not going by improving the default would have cost 2 points.

Not sure what change I will make to fix the skills, will let you know later tonight.
