PostSubject: Penelope Pindar   Penelope Pindar Icon_minitimeWed Sep 10, 2008 8:23 am

Penelope Pindar is a young and ornery human ranger. Before setting out of her crazy cat woman of a mother’s hovel to…. well, not become a crazy cat woman herself, she was often led by her mother to believe inaccurate things. For example, Penelope’s mother convinced her up until her late teens that male genitalia included teeth. Unfortunately for the young ranger, she found the reality to be slightly more horrifying. She still isn’t quite sure how sex works (among many other things) and would prefer to keep it that way. After all, it’s not very practical unless one wants to have babies – and to Penelope, the idea of caring for another being every moment of every day sounds terrible (unless it’s a cat she’s taking care of, of course). She values the practical. And alone time.

Penelope has much disdain for men. And for most others, too, though one might notice that she has a little more patience when it comes to fellow females. Needless to say, she’s not very personable and prefers to keep to herself. In keeping with trying to attract as little attention as possible, Penelope tries to clothe as much of her body as she can – including most of her face. Flat chested and lanky on top of being almost completely covered, her race and gender is, at a glance, up for debate.

Her motivation for adventuring consists of not wanting to do the domestic thing or ending up like her mother. The reason she’s helping people is mostly because she figures she should. And anyway, if you save someone’s ass or do them a favor, they do tend to forget you’re not a personable or nice individual.

Aw... but your animal companion could be a pack of needy, overfed housecats! It would be awesome!

Aww. If rangers could have animal companions, I would totally have gone with that. Indeed, it would've been wicked awesome.

We got hold of the Martial Power book and wanted to make sure that changing Penelope to the Beast Mastery class feature was alright.

As far as more specific things go, I want to take a cat companion and keep Penelope's own attacks focused on archery. I know that the book says some stuff about Beast Mastery being another direction to take the melee build in, but (after consulting Shil) decided it would still work out pretty well to keep my character a ranged ranger. I'm going to change out one of the at-wills and my encounter power with stuff in the book too, as long as that's fine.

Most importantly, can her beast companion just be a really large and vicious house cat?

Is that all fine? I'll have Shil write up the changes on the little character sheet thingy I have if so. Thanks!

It's fine with me -- I really want to see how the Beastmaster plays, in fact. Is your companion a really big cat (medium sized), or just particularly savage normal sized cat (small)?

Not that's it's going to make a whole lot of difference mechanically, but I just want to know what I'm picturing here. And if it's the latter, I may well have owned that particular cat.

(Spike, we called him. In a house with three dogs, all much bigger than he was, he was the unquestioned lord and master of all he surveyed.)

Okay. Cool. I recall you said it'd be fine for me to do the beast mastery thing at the last game, but I wanted to officially check.

And as long as it wouldn't be too ridiculous, yeah, a particularly savage normal sized cat would be nice.

I had a cat named Mr. Bob (umm, don't ask) that was similarly mean to our dogs (one was a huge golden retriever!) Little house cats can apparently be pretty terrifying!

Shocked

My god that's one vicious housecat!

BTW, I'm looking forward to referring to "sappho's fragments" if the cat's ever knocked to 0 hp.

Hehe, very nice. I'm really awful about naming fictional things after the Greeks, but it's so fun to be able to make bad references.

Amber (currently busy weeping over a paper about Plato, Freud, The New Testament and the Daodejing) asked me to post that she wants to drop Penelope's Cha to 8, which is a score she always figured made more sense for her character, and raise her Wis to 14. She'll post the changes to her stats later.

Can Penelope take Intimidate as a skill instead of Endurance? I think it'd be fitting..

Very fitting, since "pissed-off" is not currently a skill. Go ahead.

Haha. Penelope would probably like the idea of scaring the guys into submission. Unfortunately, I think the intimidate thing can't be used against the PCs!
