Talk:Underdog
Anyone who wants to hook in to my character, feel free to incorporate/change anything in this background.
--Gdaze-- Those are good questions... I like the way it is constructed as well!
One thing Matt, I'm a little worried about the +1 to all stam rolls. As a warrior your gonna be a primary tank, but you use stam to soak, AND to heal in battle. Its already a diff 8, although you only need one success. Did you want to make the +1 roll to STR instead? I'm okay with Stam if you are though.
--Matts 10:51, 11 January 2008 (MST)What about +1 to all social difficulties, and -1 die from Stamina rolls? If that's not cool, then +1 to Strength difficulties works.
--Gdaze-- That works for me. Realizing how goofy your guy looks I think the +1 to all social rolls will fit, but be advised this will stack on top of you being a Metis, so we are looking at +2 when dealing with other werewolves. -1 die from stam rolls is just peachy.
--Matts 11:50, 11 January 2008 (MST)I didn't see something about +1 social for all metis in the book, just in some deformities. But +2 for other werewolves is fine.
--Gdaze-- Yeah, I know there is nothing in the book, and it won't be with ALL werewolves, but if you are trying to talk to a Silver Fang or Get of Fernis, it will have a +1 for being a Metis, that is of course if a social roll is even needed. So while you have a +1 overall for your deformity, the other +1 depends on what werewovles you are talking to. Bone Gnawers aren't likely to care your a Metis for example, just like Childern of Gaia.
That sound okay?
--Matts 12:35, 11 January 2008 (MST)Yup, more or less how I pictured it anyways.
--Edmiao 14:10, 14 January 2008 (MST) for character interconnection, was wondering if ours should be related, pure breed blood mixed with a wolf --> my guy. pure breed inbreeding --> your guy? maybe the would be cousins?
--Gdaze-- Matt can't but any back ground points into pure blood though due to his clan. If you were related it would be distantly.
--Edmiao 15:12, 14 January 2008 (MST) i was wondering if being a metis kind of zeroed out any pure blood status. thus if we were cousins, my guy would be considered pure blood while his would be considered a dirty inbred metis (meaning no points in pure blood by his character). kind of a yin yang thang.
--Matts 15:45, 14 January 2008 (MST)Underdog's parents are a mystery to him; he suspects his mother died during his birth. I think it could work, but I'll have to change my background.
--Gdaze-- Its not actually him being a Metis that makes it so he can't have pureblood. It is because he is a Bone Gnawer, they can't be pureblood. As in Bone Gnawers don't practice or really care if someone is pure blood or not... (Although they do respect it slightly)
--Matts 12:12, 15 January 2008 (MST)Two things: Gabe, I've got an extra freebie (I thought willpower was 2) so I'm taking one point in Allies. Is it cool if it's Pipeline from Murkwood Caern?
Also, as to a tie to Wakhan... what if we developed a relationship where Underdog sees you as a "Spirit Guide"? Like he met you in a dream of the future, and you led him to the pack's totem or something. Though, Underdog's appreciation in such a case would probably sound more like a sequence of demands...
