Rowan (character)
From The Juvenis Adventure
Jump to navigationJump to searchSee the Main Page for the introduction of the Juvenis Campaign.
The DM: Introducing Rowan, a male half-elven druid. He's the first character of the Juvenis campaign.
- {speaking to the player} having rolled your ability scores, they're adjusted for age and race. Rowan's 33, so he adds a point of strength and a point of constitution; he also loses a point of con due to his being half-elven, but he gains a point of dexterity.
| Ability | Score |
|---|---|
| Strength | 15 |
| Intelligence | 13 |
| Wisdom | 16 |
| Constitution | 14 |
| Dexterity | 14 |
| Charisma | 16 |
- As a druid, he has a d8 for hit points. At first level, this is always the maximum, so he starts with 8 hp. He weighs 124 lbs., so that gives a d6 for his mass. I have to roll this. I get a 4. That starts Rowan off with 12 hit points. His birthplace is Egersund, just 40 miles south of Stavanger, on the coast of Rogaland.
- His maximum encumbrance is 120 lbs., so that he doesn't suffer any movement penalty when he carries 48 lbs or less. His natural armor class is 10 and he has a THAC0 is 20.
Character Abilities
The DM: Rounding out the character:
- Spells: as a druid, choose three 1st level druid spells. The player should look them over, ask any questions, pick three, let me know when that's done.
- Druid Sage Abilities: choose a field and a study in that field. There are three fields for a druid to choose from; once the choice are made, we'll calculate Rowan's knowledge points. Because Rowan's background included a tutor as a parent, he gets a +2 bonus to his in-field studies.
- Notes on your background:
- Large creatures are anything over 350 lbs. in size.
- a healing salve cures hit points.
- The conduct that got you banned from inns and taverns might have something to do with your druidism; feel free to invent your own explanation.
- You have to be alone to surprise 3 in 6.
- You have no constitution bonus, but you will still reduce frost and fire damage 1 point, one time per day.
- As yet, I've not imposed any travelling effects/damage, so you need not worry about walking and riding while armored - but that day is coming.
- The DM: Note: the day never did come and I don't think it's going to. I'm removing this result from my background generator.

- The ability to "pacify" is in reference to my old conflict interactive mechanic; let's say you have an opportunity to parley once more before combat occurs, when you make a charisma check.
- The DM: This too went the way of the dodo.

Comments
Pandred: My spells will be Shillelagh, Entangle, and Animal Friends. I'll be choosing Earth & Sky as my field, with Natural Astronomy for my study. For my two weapon proficiencies I'll take Spear and Club.
The DM: Rowan's original sage abilities are unfortunately lost.
