This is a private thread for SwifiePrincess' character Althiriel Moonshadow

For my working thoughts

So far I have that her name is Althiriel Moonshadow. She's a Grey Elf from the Land of Greyhawk.

Strength 13
Dexterity 16
Constitution 16
Wisdom 14
Intelligence 12
Charisma 10

So she is fast, pretty sturdy but not that strong and just ok on charisma. But she's quite wise.

Looking
Longsword +1 and a Shortsword
Longbow.
Leather armour
Probably some form of axe.

I started with the base sheet, happy if you want to check and see if my numbers are right, I sort of winged the money, she is spending about 152 on all that! I bet I am doing her out of some money but its all ok.

Althiriel Moonshadow is a young grey elf by the reckoning of her people, barely one hundred and twenty years old, yet already seasoned by decades of ranging the wild borders of the Vesve Forest. She stands 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighs just over 110 pounds, her build slender and athletic rather than delicate—long-limbed, flexible, and conditioned by constant travel through forest, hill, and broken ground.

Her pale gold hair is usually tied back with a simple cord or an old clasp that shows considerable use (it was given it by the Sylvans who accepted her as one of their own). She keeps her hair clear of her face when moving through brush or drawing a bow. Violet eyes, sharp and observant, miss little; they reflect a keen intelligence and the calm patience of someone used to watching before acting. Her features are fine but not fragile, marked by the quiet confidence of experience rather than arrogance.

Physically, she is built for endurance and agility rather than brute force. She moves efficiently rather than in raw muscle. She is fluid, balanced, and precise, whether loosing arrows, stalking silently, or fighting with blade in each hand. She is surprisingly resilient for such a slight frame, evident in her steady breathing on long marches and her ability to shrug off fatigue. She reads terrain, weather, and tracks instinctively, she has a talent for navigation, mapping, and languages. She has an unassuming presence—neither commanding nor off-putting—well suited to a ranger who prefers to be underestimated.

She wears well-fitted leather armor she created herself (after tuition was taught by the Sylvan elves, inside the lining she sewed in a piece of cloak from her Mentor). It is darkened and dyed in muted greys and greens, cut to allow free movement and silence in the undergrowth. Beneath it, she favors a soft linen or silk-blend tunic in subdued forest tones and reinforced wool or suede trousers, flexible enough for climbing and long travel. A hooded forest cloak, weathered by use, breaks up her outline when moving among the trees. Her boots are supple leather with thin soles, made for quiet steps rather than parade-ground durability. Her clothing is embroidered on the sleeves and hem with leaf motifs she sewed herself.

At her side hangs a longsword, the blade is elven forged and the name her house is inlaid down the blade, the blade never seems to dull, its grip worn smooth by years of use. A short sword balances her off-hand when fighting in close quarters. Across her back rests a longbow, strung but rarely unready, with a quiver of arrows fletched in subdued colors. A hand axe hangs from her belt for both utility and combat, while a quarterstaff is often strapped to her pack for travel, balance, or defense.

Her gear is practical and neatly kept. she holds small personal touches—an old leather cord necklace with a carved wooden charm etched with Elven Runes “Endurance”, a pressed leaf tucked into her map folio, and a smooth river stone (she found in Whyestil Lake, she found it as a young elf) she tends to play with it when she feels nervous or needs to think. Her skinning Knife has a handle made from the Antlers of her first Kill.

In motion, Althiriel seems less like someone walking through the forest and more like someone belonging to it. She does not rush, does not waste effort, and rarely speaks unless there is reason. Though still youthful by elven standards she has an earned confidence mark her as a capable pathfinder and ranger—one who has already survived dangers that would have broken a less attentive soul, and who will likely see many more seasons beneath the Vesve’s canopy before her story is done.

She is quiet and considerably less haughty than those of her race, or even her parents, she is precise, never wasting effort and always considers her actions.

Her clothing has slightly darker green leaf embroidery on the edges of the sleeves, something she managed (with help) to do herself, the little mistakes remind her that everyone makes them.

I have her history to create.

Althiriel was raised in the Forest, in hidden glades known only to her people, they do not stand beholden to the Queen of Celene, rather they stand apart. She was taught from a Young Age that they were the most important of all Elves, a teaching she came to realise wasn't really true!

Always wanting to explore she was a handful to her parents (who were historians) they suggested perhaps she should see the rest of the forest, she soon found herself with the Sylvans who she grew to respect, and they grew to like her.

She found herself wanting to complete the rites of passage the Sylvans followed, something her parents frowned on, why would she want to do that they wondered? But she strove on, she learnt the forest, she helped in scouting parties, meeting with the Humans who she found quite curious.

Life was an adventure, she fought Goblins, who she grew to hate (species enemy) and she explored the whole forest, learning its secrets and mapping the way.

She is currently on a scouting party with 5 Sylvans, tracking what they have been told is a small raiding party of Goblins (spoiler they aren't a small party! They are in way over their heads).

For the most part it looks pretty good, and great picture! I see you have chosen the Pathfinder ranger kit, that is one of my favorites

Here are a couple of notes:
-at 20,000 xp she would be level 5 (turning level 6 at 36,000 xp). It won't affect her saves or NWPs at all, and it looks like you have the correct base Thaco (16) for a level 5 character so it is probably just that one spot.
-don't forget to list your scores beside your free NWPs from your class/kit [Tracking(), Survival (), Direction Sense(), Distance Sense(), Trail Marking()] And choose a terrain type for your Survival NWP [i.e. Forest, mountain, snowy plain, desert, steppe, etc]
-The equipment looks good to me, I don't see any issues. There will be plenty of coin rolling around soon anyway

Please use the Unseen Servant website for future rolls. you can create a character name there and assign it Campaign ID 352 (which is our campaign). Jen should be able to walk you through how, or I can help if you have any issues.

All in all it is very well done! And I really like the background details


One additional request I make for the Ravenloft game.

What would you say is Althiriel's greatest regret or the thing that haunts her the most?

Oopsie that was a typo on the level .
Everything else is done.

Althiriel fears not that she hates goblins—but that hating them has become easy.
