Show Decription

Sister Elektra is short, but she is also extremely broad and stoutly built.  Even though she is fully clad in scale mail armor, it's obvious that the holy woman is as well-muscled as any males of her clan.  Crowned with long thick whitish-blonde hair and adorned with simple jewelry, the Dwarven priestess maintains a clean-shaven face according to clan custom since she had never been married.  Sporting a large wooden shield and brandishing a wicked looking morning star in times of trouble, Elektra paints a picture of someone who is well-practiced in the art of war.

Show Personality

PC PERSONALITY:  Herbalist by profession and an Earth and Fire Priestess by calling, Sister Elektra is strong in her faith and commonly uses her divine powers to help others in need or less fortunate than her.  As the Dwarven grew academically and in her religion, Elektra learned that she has the ability to influence creatures evolved from air, earth, fire and water, as well as destroying undead.  The holy elementalist is trustworthy, hardworking, energetic, resourceful, friendly and kind person and is extremely loyal to friends and family.  Above all, Elektra will always pursue the path of good and oppose evil every step of the way.

PLAYER INFORMATION: Here is a little bit about me. As a devoted player of DnD since 1980, I reliably check Mythweavers periodically during the day until late at night since I have the net both at work and home. Typically posting once or twice a day, or more depending on game flow, I try to bring my posts to life by the occasional incorporation of pictures as well as describing my PC's various senses, emotions, and thoughts along with his or her actions.

I've played many games on Myth-Weavers over the years, am a very reliable player and poster, and have never quit any game. I'm also old school and believe that the DM has final say on all matters, after all no one else knows more about the varied unusual places in their world than they do. Most importantly as a team player, I always try to be considerate of other players and the DM so we can all have fun together and enjoy the game.

My Application is basically ready for review.  I do need to put together a brief background yet, however.

[Terran]

BRIEF BACKSTORY

Conceived in the passions of fire, nurtured by mother earth, and born of water into a world of air, Elektra grew up in the Stoneshoulder Clan as any normal Dwarven child, learning and studying many subjects including the ways of nature, with a demonstrated affinity in the field of herbalism.

As she progressed in years and gained experience in her applied profession, Elektra soon realized that she was able to combine her herbal skills with innate divine healing powers.

Even though not formally trained as a cleric of any particular deity, the lass also came to understand that she had an unusual ability to affect the four primary elements of air, earth, fire and water.

Thus, the healer eventually evolved into a domain priestess of earth and fire, a purveyor of good over evil, a destroyer of undead, and some type of elementalist influencer, for lack of a better term.  

Over the years of helping others, the holy woman eventually found herself traveling the world's highways and byways following a divine path and spreading hope throughout the land, one good deed at a time.

Application is complete.  I would appreciate any input you might have or suggestions for changes and improvements.

 

Thank you for your consideration.

[Ruess]

I do not see rolled golds, so I have a few questions.

 

1.) How does your dwarf possess a Healer's Kit, an armor, a crossbow and that much gear? Did you perchance find an amply supplied starting package?

2.) What are those entries for "20/20 Rawhide,  20 Leather"? 

Edited February 6, 2023 by Ruess (see edit history)

[Terran]

The source of the starting equipment package is from the Players Handbook II - "The Defender" as specified above.  It has no rolled gold, but it does come with several gold pieces as part of the package which I used to buy a few small items that cost only a few CPs or SPs. 

A standard adventurer's kitA backpack, a bedroll, flint and steel, a belt pouch, two sunrods, ten days’ worth of trail rations, 50 feet of hempen rope, and a waterskin. is also part of "The Defender" starting package.  This resource is found in:

STARTING EQUIPMENT 

Player's Handbook 2 - Cleric Defender - p. 37

__________________________________________________________________________________

As a healer/herbalist living nearly six decades, I figured that my PC had put together a makeshift herbal/healing kit from items that can be commonly gathered in nature.  The contents of the kit are from real life, and it is intended to be for roleplaying vs. roll-playing in the rare cases when a herbalist/healer kit is needed.  

Quote

HERBALIST KIT: Eucalyptus (insect repellant); moss/mustard/herbs/vinegar/potent garlic/wolfs bane/hot peppers/sassafras/onion/ginger/sage/lime (anti-septic); willow bark/horseradish/nutmeg/poppy seed (pain; anti-inflammatory); charcoal/yarrow (poison); arnica (fungicide); sage wort (parasites); bergamot orange (malaria); peppermint/dragon's blood/comfrey (infection); and fever few/valerian (sedative), Gathered Dried Mushrooms (Vomit, Sleep, Stench, Nutrition).

____________________________________________________________________________________

The 20 Rawhide Leather Bindings are just pieces of cured rawhide leather harvested from common animal pelts.  They are about 2 ft long and can be used as tie downs/cords/straps/etc.

These few extra items are mundane items that are intended to help the rest of the group.  They are all found in nature and are easily gathered for free, but I can delete all or any of these items from the sheet and acquire them later or buy substitutes deemed suitable for the storyline.

Tell you what.

Pay a silver and four coppers and you can keep those materials.

Do that and I'll start writing my completion review.

Deal?

 

[Terran]

Sure.  Sounds great!  Also, if we need to eliminate or revise anything, including the equipment just say the word.  

My application is a working draft based on our discussions, desires and game needs.   

Feel free to advise whatever changes are needed or that would be helpful to you and the group!  🙂

Short Answer

I like her. Good work.

More Elaborate Answer

Character

I like your character. I like the compact nature of your work. I like how you've brought into being a character with an easy-to-read formatting.

Design & Build

I like everything I'm seeing about your character. I'm sold.

Backstory

I like the backstory you cooked up. It's a good example of short and sweet and has enough material to work with from a DM's perspective. I can definitely make use of it, and it gives me a solid idea of the who, the how and the what. Good job.

 

Character is good to go.

Character passes examination.

Good job.

Should you desire to offer your voice to the singers, you may do so with my blessing.

Does this refer to the Spellsingers/Spelldancers from pg. 187 of Races of Faerun?

https://anyflip.com/xtplk/ejjh

If so, it sounds unusual, something totally new and interesting! 

Of course, it would be a Prestige Class not attainable until level 6 unless one of the Feats was waived, which would make it attainable at 4th level.  Does his "Blessing" help with that?

Assuming she lives that long and there is unexpected elven lineage from long ago in her family's past generations!  🙂
