I can promise terror, glory, and riches...or a quick and brutal death.

The ones I took are listed under notes. I only get 1 Mystic one correct? I took Laying on Hands, would love to take more in place of General but not sure how that works.

In base acks, zero level characters have general proficiencies distributed as per these rules, while levelled characters get "adventuring" plus a class prof and a smaller collection of general profs. So consider those extra general proficiencies to be leftovers from your preadventuring life...?

On healing:

Everyone has a base healing rate, which depends on their max hp. Max, your mystic's BHR is 1d3. This is what you recover for a full day's rest. It also determines how much you benefit from various healing powers.

1-3 HP: 1d2
4-9 HP: 1d3
10-16 HP: 1d4

Laying on hands causes the recipient to heal their BHR x (your level/2) (rounding up). So it will heal them by their BHR when you do it at 1st or 2nd level, twice that at 3rd or 4th, etc.

Other low level healing:
Cure Light: as if rested 1 day
Comfrey: half as much as if rested 1 day
Healing: being under treatment causes you to recover one extra BHR per day.

We'll also play with the Heroic Breakfast Rule... once per day, you can recover your BHR by consuming a meal with tea, coffee or alcohol.

I chose to 'roll my own'- the stats you provided weren't quite right for the concept I had in mind. She is a thief and a con artist, trying to separate folks from their money with charm. I'll need an age roll, please.


I will finish fleshing her out when I have a little more time.

Urson,

Those rolls aren't generated in a consistent way with everyone elses, and they look far better than the others. Please pick among your roles and draw inspiration from the rolls that are not all at the top of the bell curve.

As you like... paint a bit of a picture of who they are and their relationship to you. You don't need to create characters or anything. Call it a chance for you to show me your character's home. Ideally I'll try to use your guys to bring you leads, and you can tap them for info or maaaaaaybe help. So, a couple sentences (who they are and how you are connected) ought be fine. If you want to wait on it until you have a better sense of your guy, that's cool, too...
