Fluff[]

Background[]

Magnus has lived for many years in a crumbling tower outside of the city of Daunton. He was once a student of the wizard Dorian and assumed control of the tower when his master passed on. The structure fell into neglect long ago, Magnus' attentions seemingly elsewhere. These days the place is mostly avoided and some say strange rites take place there. Whatever the case his pursuit of magic has made Magnus strange over the years. Occasionally the unusual dwarf could be seen wandering the backstreets and alleyways of the city mumbling to himself, scrawling on walls, or studying things of no seeming importance. Mostly though he has stayed locked away in his decaying abode. The locals call him Madiron, mocking his dwarven heritage. For his own part, he's taken the name as his own.

The truth is Magnus believes Hekates intends to return soon as a major power and has called him to her service. He worships her with a combination of fear and reverence. Recently he had a vision in which he was directed to leave his tower and take a more active role in the world, though the purpose of which is unclear. Whether is it really Hekates speaking to Magnus, who is to say, but something has definately granted him some small spark of divine power.

Appearance and personality[]

Age: ??? Gender: Male Height: 4'6" Weight: 173 lb. Alignment: unaligned Personality: Magnus is mad. Often times he can be found cackling softly to himself or talking to someone who isn't there. Other times he is more lucid. When he speaks it may or may not be related to the topic at hand, it can be difficult to tell sometimes. Physical Description: Magnus is an odd dwarf who smells of sweat and damp earth. A dark bushy tangle of beard and hair frames his guant face. Yellowing teeth, a couple of which are missing, show through split and cracked lips. Perched above an aquiline nose and below a thick heavy brow stare grey eyes that gleam with strangeness. Magnus wears a tattered grey tunic open to the waist, showing a chest thin by dwarven standards and lean where a silver medallion of a spiraling snake hangs from a long leather cord. The tunic is tied at the waist by a rope from which hangs numerous old keys, amoung other things, that jangle softly when he moves. Under the faded tunic are loose, equally ragged brown pants. His feet are wrapped only in dirty old rags. Clutched in his hand Magnus carries a gnarled wooden staff addorned with more keys tied to it by leather cords.

Regional Benefits[]

Daunton - +2 Monster knowledge checks and re-roll 1 failed knowledge check/day while access to Daunton library is available (requires 4 hours).

Hooks:Discover the purpose behind the visions.

Hooks:If there are other groups of Hekates worshipers out there, they may be interested in him for good or ill.

Kicker:Vision from Hekates to go out into the world for purposes unknown. Who is to say what the source of his visions really is or if it's just madness, but he has definately tapped into a small measure of divine power.

  • Dwarven Weapon Proficiency: You gain proficiency with the throwing hammer and the warhammer.
  • Encumbered Speed: You move at your normal speed even when it would normally be reduced by armor or a heavy load. Other effects that limit speed (such as difficult terrain or magical effects) affect you normally.

Judge Comments[]

Level 1[]

Approval 1[]

Approval from --JoeNotCharles

  • The weight of a bedroll is 5lb, not 2lb. I've updated it, since it doesn't affect much
  • Quarterstaff damage is 1d8, not 1d6. Updated that, too.
  • I filled in "Basic Ranged Attack" as "None", since without anything there it automatically adds "{{{Basic Ranged Attack}}}", which looks like a bug in the sheet
  • I added Endurance to your skills, since it's not exactly equal to your attribute score because of the Dwarven racial bonus (it was already correct in the math section)
  • Note that Flaming Sphere has been errata'd - the only difference is clarifying that the sphere occupies a square, so it can't move through enemies. I changed the wording.
  • The "Sustain Minor" line on Flaming Sphere is there when you edit the page, but doesn't show up in the final version. Template bug?
  • Healing Word is a close burst, not a close blast. Updated.

None of these are very important, so I approve Magnus Madiron. He'll need one more approval from a full judge.

Approval 2[]

Approval from Lord Sessadore:

I found one major, major problem. Just look at the keywords on this! ;)

Flaming Sphere (Daily Standard Ranged 10 * Arcane, Conjuration, Fire Implement,)

I fixed your misplaced comma (because I'm anal). Other than that it looks spotless, so I approve Magnus. That means he's fully approved now; enjoy L4W!

P.S. Neat story, I'm interested to see how that plays out.

Level 2[]

Approval 1[]

Approval from TwoHeadsBarking:

Looks good. Approved.

Approval 2[]

Approval from CaBaNa:

Looking forward to seeing enlarged spell in action! On my sheets I list the damage difference in the power block, but it's not something I'm requiring for approval (or even asking...).

Approved.


Status[]

Not Approved.

Magnus has two approvals for level 2 with 1339 exp from TwoHeadsBarking: and CaBaNa, and is fully approved.
