Bonnie Summer - general info

[Bonnie Sommer]

Right as mentioned in the surrogate forum.

She is using a light weapon, no shield, and light or no armour.

If possible she would probably prefer a bow to be her main weapon.

Weapon Proficiencies:
Quarterstaff, Spear, Sword, Shortsword, Dagger, Axe, Bows, Club

Sword and Axe are very broad terms. She will definately prefer smaller/lighter issues of these weapons. She is not proficient in two-handed versions of these.

Can use a shield if needed but generally prefers not too since she thinks it is too clunky, and she much prefers to avoid blows to absorbing them. She also prefers to fire at range where possible and is quite a good shot. She is very agile and quick but great physical strength is something she does not have.

Skills: superb
Combat: great
Mental: average
Toughness: poor

What type of skills is Bonnie good at:
Shortly put most Survival and Wilderness related skills.

These include:
- Ability to quickly start a fire. This includes finding needed tools in the wilderness. Like suitable stones.
- Ability to locate water sources, mostly based on looking for signs in the wilderness.
- Traps, finding them and knowing how they work.
- Knows the local Sommlending flora and fauna. What is editable and dangerous and what is not.
- Ability to improvise/make weapons/arrows/bows. This will require time and access to proper materials depending on what is to be done.
- Tracking
- Hunting
- Stealth
- Animal handling/Riding

What type of thing is she not good at:
- Swimming
- Commanding others and leadership. She will most likely rub people the wrong way if forced into this role.
- Easily gets moody if she gets pressed to continue onwards when she thinks it is time to stop.

What type of skills is she about average at:
- Solving puzzles and the like.
- Conversational skills

Start equipment:
- Bow and Quiver with Arrows
- Clothing. She might have a flexible leather but if you count that as armour she will take normal normal border ranger clothing. Clothing is fairly warm and water-proof.
- Backpack
- Blanket
- Hunter's Knife. Used for cutting and skinning things. Carried in her backback. Not intended as a weapon.
- Potion of Laumspur
- Water Skin/Water Canteen (I assume we all have this???)
- Water-proof boots

Next thing on my list would be something which can work as a hand-weapon.

Hmmm.... The above doesn't list doesn't match any of the sets if I add a normal weapon. Not sure what your thought is.

Anyways, my next suggestions are:
- A regular short sword
- A small hatchet/hand axe, which can prove quite useful when setting camp, but would be usable as a weapon as well.

Background will be in a separate thread.

Special abilities:

Defensive fighting:
By sacrificing a number rolled in combat (not using it for any other purpose), you can roll one extra die in the resist damage phase. You can do this with up to 2 numbers.

Precise shot:
Whenever shooting from long range with the bow, if you roll a single 20, you don't have to roll any more successes but instead deal your damage in skill to the target (as if you had rolled all successes).


Worn Equipment:

- Bow and Quiver with Arrows
The bow will help you snipe enemies from afar, but it cannot be used in close quarters combat. The rule for precise shot works like any other skill test, with your number of successes deciding the lethality of the attack. Rather than keep track of arrows and have to clutter our character sheets, I'll tell you if you're starting to run low. Assume you're carrying around twenty.

- A regular short sword


- Clothing. She might have a flexible leather but if you count that as armour she will take normal normal border ranger clothing. Clothing is fairly warm and water-proof. (I don't think we settled if this was light armour or not )

- Water-proof boots

- Backpack

Backpack containing:
- Blanket (Takes up two spaces)
- Hunter's Knife. Used for cutting and skinning things. Carried in her backback. No damage bonus.
- Potion of Laumspur (Prevents 5 damage in combat, or heals 2 damage outside of combat)
- Water Canteen
- A small hatchet/hand axe, which can prove quite useful when setting camp, but would be usable as a weapon as well.
- Hygiene essentials in small bag. ( A comb. A small bottle of perfume. Toothbrush and paste, and a piece of soap

Acquired:
Pouch of Herdash Roots. (Herbdash is known to help slow the travel of toxin throughout the body. It takes up one slot in your inventory, and you have enough for two uses. It reduces your level of infection by 1 per use.)

The clothing isn't light armour, just very weather resistant.

[Bonnie Sommer]

OK. I am not clear if there actually is any game difference at all between the two, so we can make it weather resistent.

She will probably like it that way anyway. Not someone to don heavy armour and walk around with it, even if the armour is light.
