NOTE: Given the fact that we are all way beyond beginning-level characters, I thought that adding some more skill points here and there to better reflect our characters’ actual abilities would not be out of line. Based on that idea, I would make the following changes to the character sheet as given, due partly to what her stats and skills actually are, and partly to the way the character has been played. [Of course, since this is another world, it would be perfectly understandable if the power levels at least are reduced—Ariadne is well accustomed to that! <g>]
Stats:
Reduce: Wits to 2, since that’s more about thinking on your feet (which Ariadne is not very good at)
Increase: Intelligence to 4, since in this game the stat combines Intelligence and Wisdom
Talents:
Reduce: Brawl to 1 or even 0 (except for when she’s fighting in animal form, when it’s at 3, and maybe even 4 for cat-forms [if the Special is allowed]) and Alertness to 2.
Remove: Definitely take away her Streetwise, since that has to do with blending into one’s environment, which she will definitely not be able to do on Earth! I also have no idea why she has Instruction, so take that away too.
Increase: Possibly add another skill point to Dodge, since that would seem to be Dexterity-based, and she has a high dexterity. It also may play a part in Armor Class, in which case I would possibly make it a 4.
Add: EMPATHY of 3, DIPLOMACY of 3, and (believe it or not) Intimidation of 2! <G>
Skills:
Reduce: Leadership to 2 or even 3 (3 is more accurate, but it hasn’t played much part in this campaign—but then, diplomacy plays a large part in her leadership style)
Remove:
Increase:
Add: Survival!! at 3 or 4, Weather sense at 3?, Tracking at 2 (if that’s included in Forestry)
Knowledge:
Reduce:
Remove:
Increase:
Add:
(Check into: Cosmology and Culture—what do these mean?)
Backgrounds:
Reduce: Occult to 3? (She does have spellcraft—and she actually does craft spells—but I imagine her version of the occult differs somewhat from that of Earth. <g>)
Remove:
Increase:
Add: Resources 3 or 4 (with all that gold and gems??!?!)
Faith: Increase to 9 (she has become extremely dedicated over the years and campaigns!)
