Layna - Untested Thief

Post by Layna »

What was your childhood like?
[dice:1mqm1kt8]59085:0[/dice:1mqm1kt8] Your father was a watchman, stern but fair with child and stranger alike. +2 Str, +1 Cha, +1 Con, Skill: Athletics

How did you distinguish yourself as a child?
[dice:1mqm1kt8]59085:1[/dice:1mqm1kt8] Everyone has something to teach, and you learned a little from them all. +1 Dex, +1 Int, +1 Wis

The other player characters were your best friends. Who else in the village befriended you while growing up?
[dice:1mqm1kt8]59085:2[/dice:1mqm1kt8] The grizzled mercenary who settled in town taught you a thing or two. +1 Dex, +1 Con, +1 Wis

You learned some unsavory things and found your niche. You become a level 1 Rogue. You gain the class abilities Fortune’s Favor and Highly Skilled, and the skill Stealth. The tables below will give you all your bonus skills from your class abilities. What happened when you took to thievery?

Who taught you how to cheat or steal?
[dice:1mqm1kt8]59085:3[/dice:1mqm1kt8] An old pickpocket from the city to the south. +3 Dex, Skill: Pickpocketing

[dice:1mqm1kt8]59085:4[/dice:1mqm1kt8] When travelers from far away places pass through town you take interesting baubles from their purses.+2 Dex, Skill: Pickpocketing

As happens with many thieves, your first job went bad. What did you do when you got caught? The player to your right was there when it happened.
[dice:1mqm1kt8]59085:5[/dice:1mqm1kt8] You pleaded your case and walked free. The friend to your right spoke on your behalf, and gains +1 Int. You gain +2 Int, Skill: Oratory

What was your greatest heist?
[dice:1mqm1kt8]59085:6[/dice:1mqm1kt8] You talked your way into a temple in the next village and left with something precious. +2 Cha, a mysterious idol

Background
Her father was the village watchman, and her mother was a mystery. The people in the village were on the whole pretty kind to her; she liked to learn, and she learned a little from everyone she met.

Eventually, she met the old, grizzled mercenary in town, and he taught her how to use a knife. Then she met an old pickpocket from the south, and he taught her how to cut a purse. Ironic, that; both of them wanted her to learn to use a knife to take care of herself, but in very different ways.

She practiced her skills on travelers through town, mostly, keeping interesting baubles from their purses when they passed through (and dodging her father’s notice). Eventually, of course, it all caught up with her, and she was caught.

She pleaded her case (with the help of a friend) and was set free, but her father started taking a much more keen interest in her activities after that. “No daughter of his”, and what have you.

Her biggest score came when she managed to talk her way into a temple while visiting another village and walked out with a mysterious looking idol. She keeps it with her to this day and spends her free time idly wondering about what secrets it could hold.
