Just pointing out that a mage is only supposed to have 5 minor flaws and no more than 2 personality flaws. I had to check this myself on p.37, as I had got it wrong too.

Marcus is nearly ready for approval. I've got a copy of The Divine, so I shall be checking that to see if there are any things in it that Marcus might be interested in, or possibly need in order to maintain his monk-disguise.

Noted and corrected.  I tend to play fast and loose with those guidelines, both because I aim for a concept and then try to implement and also because I'm not used to the limits yet, having grown up on previous editions.  But as I say, tweaked. -  JB

Approval

Marcus is nearly ready for approval. I've got a copy of The Divine, so I shall be checking that to see if there are any things in it that Marcus might be interested in, or possibly need in order to maintain his monk-disguise.

Well:

Linguist (Minor, General, Virtue) +25% to all language skill study totals, and experience spent during character creation raised by the same amount.

  • Could be, but I'm not sure I want to much around with my V/F at this point.

You could probably do with a point or two in Church Lore, for bluffing purposes.

  • I took Theology and Church Etiquette with that in mind, but I can push a few points around.

Your arts are as pointy as they can be, so I would expect that your parens is also a Rego Corpus specialist, possibly embarked on a major ReCo research project for most of the 15 years you knew him, possibly still working on it.

  • Fine by me. I think a lot of Jerbiton are probably ReCo specialists.

I'm assuming that you will be purchasing Muto and Rego during your career, or your inability to combine something you don't have, with something else you don't have, won't really hinder you. :D

  • Well, aside from keeping me from sponting, you mean. But I'll certainly want to get to at least 5 in everything or I won't be able to take apprentices properly.

I tinkered with your reputations slightly. If you increase your skill, you can change the description. You are probably famous, because unlike other composers, you really seem to get around...

  • Okie dokie.

It looks like you will recieve BPs too. j

  • Yay! :-)

Flaws

  • Optimistic (major version). Just wondering... (I know this is a canon flaw, which I personally feel is a bit weird, but there are a lot of weird flaws under 5th ed), why you took this as a major flaw and not a minor one. What do see as being the difference between the two levels?--Perikles 10:13, 1 February 2006 (PST)

It is a little weird, I know, which is partly why I started with more Minor ones, since I have a better handle on them, I think. As for Majorly optomistic, I think it means that he's going to be sure things will work out even when it seems obvious it won't, and tend to act as though (particularly for him) Diplomacy will be able to solve the problem. It's not quite reckless, but it will mean that he won't know when to quit. - JB
