Fluff[]

'Background: 'INITIAL HISTORY: Artemis Harks was born in the town of Geardagas on the island of Allaria. His father was a captain in the New Allarian League guard before he died in a border war with hobgoblins. Artemis had three older brothers, but each were older by several years. He was always considered the whelp of the family. When he came of age, Artemis joined the New Allarian League army, as his father did. As he wasn't as strong as most guards, Artemis was trained as a scout, which is why he never trained in armor heavier than leather. While he became stronger due to his training as a soldier, Artemis was not very remarkable. He was very plain appearing, quiet and not likely to stand out in a crowd, much less lead men.

Life seemed very routine for Artemis. His role as a scout kept him busy, he had yet to meet a woman to settle down and wed. His brothers had moved away due to their careers and status in the army. Artemis's primary duties involved scouting for his company, at which he wasn't very good. While the company ensued that bandits and rogues were not bothering the trade caravans between towns, and it was mostly boring work.

That was until his unit was assigned monitoring the western borders around Geardagas.

There patrol routes involved deep scouting mission west, including the areas around Hellview. Hellview, originally a silver mine where a gate to Hell was opened, was the focus of the previous war between humans, demons and devils that tore the Allarian empire apart. The night before his future changed, the company slept on the slope of the infamous Horned Hill. Everyone know the hill was associated with dark and bad things. Children were told if they were bad, that is where they would be taken. They had all heard those stories growing up. Now of course, it would be silly to believe those old tales to scare children...

What the soldiers did not know Horned Hill was a site of many demonic sacrifices during the Allarian war. During the war, with the sealing of Hellview and interrupting Hell's connection with Allaria, a powerful demon was slain on Horned Hill and his soul became bound deep within one of the silver mines within. That night, Artemis was plagued by nightmares and dark dreams. Voices called to him. He woke from his nightmares bathed in cold sweat. He spoke to no one of this, but couldn't sleep for the remainder of the night.

Artemis set out in the morning, scouting down the road while the company was awakening and putting on their gear. As he rounded a bend in the road, Artemis spotted a large group of cultists moving east. He almost didn't believe it, but the cultists were ushering undead zombies with them. He hurried back to his company, Artemis informed his sergeant of the incoming forces. Rather than report back to town, his sergeant decided to claim the glory of the moment and destroy the cultists and undead.

With a hearty charge, the sergeant lead the company forward. In his excitement, he ran ahead of his men. He was cut down immediately and viciously. His arms were torn from his body while he was screaming in agony. The morale of the company failed at once, and screaming like women and children, they ran away from the cultists.

Seeking any place to hide, the company ran up Horned Hill and into some of the silver mines. The cultists set up outside the mines, laughing at the soldiers. They would send zombies inside to drag out the guards one at a time. The company panic increased and reached a breaking point, with the men squeezing further back and back in the darkness, trying to hide from certain doom.

That is when Artemis heard the voice again. The same one from his dream the night before. It called to him, spoke to him by name. At first, he thought he imagined it. But the voice called to him. He thought he was going crazy. But the voice called to him and promised to save him. To save his company. It would give him the ability to lead his men and defeat the cultists. He would have a debt to pay, but he would live through the day.

Artemis thought of his company, his fellow soldiers, and made his decision. He told the voice he would accept the gifts it offered. He would fufill the pact someday.

And with the mental pact signed, Artemis became filled with energy. He felt taller, stronger, braver. Energy and power radiated down his arms and legs. Artemis yelled with his newfound power. It scared the men of the company senseless. But then they realized the noise came from the meager scout, who didn't appear meager any longer. With a rousing shout, Artemis lead his men forward. The soldiers rushed from their hiding spots and sliced down the zombies in the mine. They burst out of the mine entrance and fell upon the cultists, who were flat footed and ill prepared to fight soldiers. Artemis was inspiring in his leadership, coordinating the attack and supporting his troops. Within minutes, the cultists were slain to a man. The soldiers cheered and clapped Artemis and hoisted him on their shoulders.

After the fight, the soldiers appreciated how different Artemis appeared. Taller. Stronger. He was shockingly handsome and confident. And while no one was sure the color of his eyes before, now they were grey. While there were iniital celebrations regarding the soldiers happy return, soon Artemis started feeling uncomfortable and uneasy. Whispers about his new abilities and change in personality were prevelant. He also knew that he couldn't stay here in the long run. His fate had changed in a moment. Artemis knew of the Near Islands and Daunton, and that adventure and fame were a possibility there. Without telling a soul, he took passage on a ship for the port city.



RECENT HISTORY: Artemis was not surprised to find Daunton was full of adventure. Almost immediately, he helped a scholar find his missing colleague. Soon after returning to the famous (inframous?) Hanged Man Inn, Artemis helped the other 15 patrons defend the place against a gang of hobgoblins looking to extort the innkeeper.

Artemis now returns after his most grand adventure yet. Seeking a way to replace his demonic patron, Artemis pursued a ceremony to reject his dark binding. The dwarf warlock, 7 Rabbit lead the ceremony. Before it's completion, Artemis and his fellow witnesses were pulled through a portal to the caverns in which Artemis's patron lived. Through the bravery of everyone involved, the group found and defeated the dark patron. Free from the evil shadow, Artemis completed the ceremony and sealed his pact with the powers of the stars.



Description: Artemis is a good looking human. While still muscular, he is thinner now compared to previously. His height is over 6 feet tall. He has light grey eyes.


Personality: Artemis is very confident in his abilities. Artemis always seems to be smiling and encouraging, at times loud, and always friendly. He is an incorrigible flirt. Since his recent adventures, his previous episodes of uncertainty have improved. He is always the supportive and confident companion.


Hooks:
Family: Artemis's family still live on the island of Allaria. They have various positions in the army and N.A.L. government.

Pact: Now that Artemis defeated his dark patron, is he forever free from the darkness? Or is someone else going to seek revenge upon him for his deeds.

Judge Comments[]

Level 4[]

Approval 1[]

I am currently reviewing this page Karlowich

Problems

  1. You need to add catagory Requesting Approval in the bottom
  2. You need to create a sub-section in math called Tracking. Under tracking you should add two more sub-sections called xp and treasure. In which you put all your aquried gear/gold in treasure you began with and in xp create a link to the retired character along with your current xp. Therefore remove character created reference from "Changes" sub-section.
  3. No Theme - You can choose a theme if you want ( Optional )
  4. Calculated weight to be 73 by using CB
  5. Calculated remaining gold to be 145gp. Starting gold 680gp - Bracers of Mighty Striking 520 - Adventurer's Kit 15 = 145gp.
  6. Bracer's of Mighty Striking (Heroic) and Gauntlets of Blood (Heroic) both share the same item bonus +2 to damage. I am fairly sure these bonuses do not stack when prerequisite of both items are met. I just wanted to let you know. Gauntlets of Blood provide an untyped bonus, so this is fine. -WEContact
  7. In Power To Hit table, under equipment name, you should swap out Resplendent Blade with Starshadow Blade.
  8. In Math Section, under Class Features, please make a reference to which Pact Boon you have chosen.
  9. Create a At-Will power called Starshadow Blade as a Hexblade class feature power and fill out the details of your starshadow blade. This should replace your Starshadow Blade Daily in magical item powers.
  10. You need to fill-out all the details of Lesser Planar Ally daily Power, like the conjuration is invisible, tiny and etc.
  11. Athletics in summary is incorrect and needs to be updated to +9
  12. Missing "Melee Weapon" description in Resplendent Blade At-Will Power in power template. Code = " |TargetType=Melee weapon "
  13. Wield the Warp power - Missing "Weapon" after Melee in the power template TargetType.
  14. Well written backstory :).

Approval 2[]

Comments from BenBrown

  • Misspelled "Resplendent" in power block :)
  • Starshadow Blade doesn't need a power block (it's not a magic item), but should be listed under Class Features.
  • You seem to have added 3 to the damage of all your powers. As far as I know, bonus for melee powers should be +9 (+5 cha, +1 implement, +2 bracers, +1 feat) and for ranged powers should be +6 (+5 cha, +1 implement). Am I missing something?
  • Add "special" to Dire fate that it can only be used once per round.
  • Ironscar Rod template is a bit messy. You probably want to split it up into two items, "Ironscar Rod" and "Ironscar Rod Daily" with the first just having the "property" bits and the second the daily power.
  • Starshadow Blade doesn't need a power block (it's not a magic item), but should be listed under Class Features.
  • in "power to hit" and "basic attacks" your equipment name should be "Starshadow Blade" rather than "resplendent blade"

All corrected. Approved

Took me a while to find the stats for your Starshadow Blade, and I believe Resplendent Blade does radiant damage, but other than that you're fine.

Approval 2[]

Two minor issues, also with damage types.

  • Eldritch Bolt deals force damage.
  • Shard of Darkness deals cold damage and targets one creature.
