ACKS Character Conversions

[thirdkingdom]

We'll post our converted (or new) ACKS characters here, for giggles. I've found that the US character template don't work all that well with ACKS, and the one that Wyzard's already posted looks good, so it will be relatively easy to use that.

Changes: My spell repertoire is smaller for first-level spells. I actually do still need to learn Web. Is that something I can do in town? The ACKS rules imply yes, but I'm not going to be offended if you house-rule and say "Masters giving out free spells is bullshit, put on your grown-up pants and go find a scroll or something."

Intelligence actually does give bonus languages. Therefore, I've added Draconic, which Severi knew.

Switched out Mystic Aura for Command. Diplomacy is actually probably the most important proficiency he can have, although Fighting Style is nothing to sneeze at.

[Atlictoatl]

Darrow Tev served as a military scout before settling down as a farmer. When the Bloody Bones orcs started making trouble, he took up arms but could not stem their tide. He's been fighting his way out with a small force of men, finally landing in Threshold. While he and his men will be happy to take the fight to any orcs they encounter, they're primarily pleased to be alive.

Darrow stands 5'7", has a mop of brown hair and an unkempt reddish-brown beard, wears chain under a brown tunic and dark green hooded cloak, and generally looks well-used to living in the wilds. He's the sort of man whose words bear extra weight because they're rarely used. He's left-handed, and his right forearm bears an ugly burn scar.

Money: [296 gp and 1 sp have been spent on gear and mount; 270 gp spent on mercenaries]

Stones of Encumbrance: 4 (chain) + 1 (shield) + 1 (bow) + .5 (items) + 1.5 (backpack items)= 8 stone / 5 stone scouting

Beast: Dust, light riding horse [75 gp]

Mercenaries

5 bowmen (short bow, short sword, leather armor), 45 gp wages/month, morale bonus +0 (-1 base, +1 for Darrow getting them out alive)

Paid 270 gp to start with them. Does it make any sense to purchase them all riding horses pre-game, or does the party usually travel with their hired men on foot?

Picture

Standards:

• In appropriate terrain, Darrow will scout ahead, leaving his backpack, shield, and bow with his horse.
• Darrow typically has his shield to hand when not scouting. If he has the opportunity to engage with his bow, he'll set down the shield to fire as much as is reasonable, then set down his bow and ready his shield, first using his hand axe for a close-in ranged attack before drawing his sword.
