Armor & Weapons:
* accessorized blue-purple/brown/iron cloth or light armor, depending upon Duelist variant in use
* mainhand sickle, with damage enhancements
* offhand shortsword, with defensive enhancements
Other Equipment:
* 1x scabbard, since people probably don't make scabbards for sickles
* 1x goggles, not pictured, because dust in the eyes is unfun
* ?x bandages, to fix assorted mishaps with
Goals:
* Survive and if possible thrive, best accomplished by adapting oneself to the region in proper Ranger fashion.
* As a corollary, avoid attracting the interest of any powers that be in the region. On the Lower Planes at least, the powerful are fully expected to enslave the weak, take what they can, and smash rivals into dust. What else would they even do with power?
Thoughts About:
* "Nah, just a ranger won't do. You're in the Lower Planes! Gonna need a farranger to get through the wastes in one piece."
* "Bladebiter? That one's mostly human. Eugh. Keeps to herself, though - you'll probably find her just outside the walls."
General Notes:
So I just finished playing Dragon Age Origins, a City Elf version of Yasia here serving as my character. The combat was better than NWN2's, especially when foes were using neither Fireball nor Overwhelm, although half of the kinda small stable of armor designs were absurd. A pity the DLC did absolutely nothing to provide the story with closure.
After that, I ended up reading some 3.5e homebrew on the D&D Wiki, and that was outright inspiring. An Evil-aligned planar desert? Perfect place to put this character, or at least better than the mundane settings which I'd rather put other characters in.
I'm going to need more practice with these portmanteau profession names, though.
Technical Notes:
Prototyped using HeroMachine 3, which might've helped solidify the concept, but the visual output was... not good. Otherwise, just practicing established techniques and trying out backgrounds.
