Welcome to Althanas.

Just a couple of simple things to work one.

His abilities are far too advanced for a level zero character. I could accept that he would be able to use daggers and projectiles well, and maybe even that he's proficient with alchemy and poison making, but at level one he would not also have "extreme speed" which enables him to flash counter.

His reflexes would only allow him to evade strikes from a competent level zero or level one opponent. A level two would undoubtably land strikes, as they are far more advanced than he is currently.

And his archery skill is extremely high for a level zero.

Let's just take it back a few notches, and remember he is coming into Althanas as a level zero (or what would be the equivalent of a level one in most RPG-type games).


Also, I need to know what the dagger is made out of:


The following are metals that fit into the tier system.

1. Iron: The simplest material, and yet still with a degree of strength, iron weapons can serve an adventurer with need.
2. Steel: Providing a bit more strength than iron, steel also costs a bit more. Many an adventurer, including the great Devon Starslayer, used nothing more than a simple steel sword.
3. Plynt: A green metal that absorbs liquid easily due to some unknown property. Plynt is naturally flammable, and after burning for a while will be almost entirely consumed.
4. Damascus: Magic imbues into this light gray metal easily, but at the same time damascus provides little resistance to magical attacks.
5. Dehlar: Very heavy, Dehlar is extraordinarily magic-resistant. It does not imbue well, however, and its high weight means only the strongest can carry it.


Those are the Althanas metals up to tier 5. His daggers would most likely fall between tiers one and two, as those are the tiers we normally will approve for a beginning character.

I also need to know the metal of his ring, and with it there needs to be some sort of limitation. What I mean is some characters specialize in mental manipulation, and therefore might be able to change the aura as it would appear to him. I hope that makes sense.

Finally, I need to know what his throwing stars are made from as well.


The number of skills is okay, it is just the power of them is quite a bit more than he should possess for the level.

One final thing, in regards to the ring.

Just add in that the ring's ability can be persuaded by very powerful magiks or equivalent. This way it could be fooled by a really skilled caster or something. It's just a tiny modification to add a chance for him to get a false reading, so to speak.

Other than that, it'll be approved.
