[Characters] Darcy Wren

[slapstick]

Darcy Wren.:.Aasimar.:.Investigator

.:Hook:.

A fallen angel knocking around the gates of Hell.

.:Line:.

You don't say 'no' to Vassindio Drovenge, but you do charge him a little extra and take liberty with the instructions.

.:Sinker:.

Darcy stares out the window, the clarity pyres burning spots into her eyes. She tells herself she'd hit the sack if they turned off the light, but that's a crock. Drovenge's fancy cheese is pitting her stomach, so she drowns it with a swallow of throat-scorching amber. Find a killer in this city? Close your eyes, spin around and point. Find the right killer? Might mean breaking curfew, but at least the landlord'll get paid once this year.

 

• Beltrand promised her forever three months before pledging the same to the Hellknights. (2)
• Darcy's stonewalled the dottari in the past. (2)
• She inherited her office and her hollow leg from her mother. (1)

  As a private eye, +2 Perception when searching for clues. Always get a passive check when a clue could be found.
• Hardly a Fool

• Friends in Low Places
  Gathering information in lower quarters, such as vice dens and poorer districts, takes you 1d2 hours (instead of 1d4 hours). In addition, the attitudes of any destitute or impoverished NPCs you interact with begin one step closer to helpful.
• Doubt
  Whenever you fail a skill or ability check, you take a –4 penalty on that type of skill or ability check for the next hour.

I'm thinking pretty hard about campaign traits. I have a handful that seem ok but I am not sold on any. Here's a couple.

Gumshoe. As a private eye, +2 Perception when searching for clues. Always get a passive check when a clue could be found.

Beatific Nature. Your Angelic ancestry leads good-aligned people to (mis)place trust in you. +3 social skills with good-aligned.

Or maybe you have a better one.

Gumshoe sounds just fine!

What the hell, I feel like gambling...

Ok, the sheet is still a work in progress but I'm ready to start as long as we aren't throwing dice immediately. Debating whether or not to go Steel Hound -- hard to say 'no' to packing heat as a PI, but the investigator has a lot of moving parts without throwing a grit pool in there.

[phinar]

I think I would be inclined to support that. I'm still considering how. You end up needing a lot of feats to make the gun work, which is difficult given how few you get. I feel like maybe gifting you with Ranged Study once your study feature kicks in? Possibly just changing the study class feature so it only works on firearms, and you need a feat to use it in melee?

But I like the idea a great deal.

[slapstick]

Yeah, the fact that you don't get the gun till 2nd level is a bit of a drag, but so is starting out with one level of gunslinger. Maybe I'll give her a crossbow for now and she winds up getting her hands on her mom's old sidearm as we near 2nd?

[phinar]

Yeah just slide that down to level 1. Waiting a level is dumb, and hard to explain.
