Looks great Ehiker -- love the back story! A fool's errand perhaps, but what is a Dwarf to do with 6 wisdom?? You can post Norin son of Nain over on the PC Sheets thread [img]images/smiley/smiley.png[/img]

Tombowings, great job -- you've got all the stats spot on. It's seems you've mastered my house rules [img]images/smiley/wink.png[/img]

Rivendell has become a very lonely place in the fourth age. Most have gone to the west, and only a few dozen Elves remaining there -- and these are as often somewhere in the dell as in Elrond's House.

Perhaps your failing health was due (in part) to the absence, or late arrival, of a knowledgeable healer when you took hurt in your war training -- or defense of Rivendell? I leave the details to you...

Might I humbly suggest a look at some of Tolkien's Elvish names http://www.tuckborough.net/peopleindex.htmlhere?
Your total load is 7; 2 for your mail and 7 (x0.75 due to Elvish make) = 5 for the rest.

When you are ready you can post your PC over on the PC sheets thread.

Nice work DoctorX, excellent piece of back-story [img]images/smiley/smiley.png[/img]

A few corrections to your numbers are:

With INT 13 you are allowed 3 languages. Your first 2 should be Sindarin and Westron, and you can choose one more.

With an epic 18,000 XP you begin as a 4th level bard.

Your HD are 3d6+2 (for a 4th level bard) +1 (constitution bonus)

Your front AC is 4. 6(Elvish mail) -1(shield) -1(half of your 3HD)
Your rear AC is 6 (Elvish mail)

Your saving throws are: 12
+4 versus disease (Elf)
+2 versus poison, paralysation, petrification, sickness, death (Bard)

As an Elf you also:
Move silently and invisibly 4 in 6 (in light armour -- including Elvish mail),
Locate hidden doors or secret passages 4 in 6,
May fire a bow on the move (on foot) without penalty,
Inflict +1 damage with magical weapons of Elvish make.

Your current overall load is 4 (Elvish mail is 2, the other stuff adds up to 2).

I haven't worked out your expenditure, but might I suggest that you will not last long without water or supplies, and that your healing talent will go to waste without some healing herbs!

I have some gear picked out but I haven't totaled it yet - also I want to pick up four mercenary hirelings and pay to outfit them too - more soon. Let's see if this checks out:

.~-= Soval Hackbeard =-~. of Swanfleet

Story
The child of poor Hollander smallholders steading the southern reaches of Swanfleet, Corin lived an uneventful childhood. A large, strapping lad, he joined a mercenary troupe at the age of twelve and never looked back. Corin has traveled to the Western coast as far as the Brandywine, and throughout Rohan, fighting most of the way. He has fought orcs twice, the second time receiving a brutal facial injury scarring his chin and making it impossible for him to grow a beard €“ hence the nickname. He is well familiar with Stoor-folk from his childhood, but has almost no experience with dwarves or elves, and is somewhat superstitious about both. He is of good repute among soldiers, being brave, honest, and very strong, and a small coterie of henchmen follows him. Being neither particularly brilliant nor a natural leader, Corin relies instead on fair dealing to keep their loyalty.
