Meet the Party - C&S in CSIO

Werebear illustration from AD&D
Monster Manual. 

     I want to use some of the background posts I've been doing in the Wilderlands to run some soloplay Chivalry & Sorcery.  I've already detailed creating the Power Word Magician Mordacris in C&S.  Here's the rest of the party, I generated them using my C&S 1e character generator spreadsheet - which did identify an issue in how it handles Bastardy.

Son of Arthur, a peddlar in the City State, he is the 6th child and is considered a "Credit to the Family".  He is an apprentice Assassin in the Thieves Guild, providing muscle and look out services for their heists. He is a poorly aspected Aquarius and suffers a -5% experience penalty. As an Assassin, he only gets 1/2 experience from using his thief skills, but full experience for fighting. He has black hair, olive skin and green-brown eyes. He is a childhood friend of Mordacris and is looking for some time out of town until the Watch forgets his face.

     Baron Jaquob was an avid hunter in his youth. Once while out hunting, he spent an afternoon of dalliance with the daughter of a woodcutter. The following summer, he slew a sow bear and captured it's single cub. Upon death, the bear transformed back into the form of the woodcutter's daughter.  When the moon waned, the cub changed into a beautiful baby boy.
     The baron has never acknowledged the boy's paternity, but has raised him as his ward in his household. Adenin's clumsiness and middling strength, combined with his stellar intellect has caused his protector to obtain a place for him as a Priest of Uller. He has been sent to the Temple of Odin in the City State for training. His god-like appearance gives him a 22 Charisma with members of the opposite sex, 20 Charisma with members of the same sex and a 14 Charisma when dealing with members of either sex who are Ugly. (Those unfortunates with a Personal Appearance of less than 8.) He is a poorly aspected Aquarius. He receives +5% experience as a Cleric, -5% experience as a Fighter and a Magic User.
     As part of his training, he has been assigned to spend three weeks in an isolated cell in the eastern fringes of the Dearthwood. He will travel there with Ysolt and Mordacris. He has auburn hair, gray eyes and his complexion is a light yellow (Hex #FAFAD2 if you're having trouble visualizing it.)


Note: The spreadsheet didn't show him as an unacknowledged Bastard, and didn't calculate the Social Status correctly.  But the error gave me the idea of having him be the ward of his biological father.  And the rest is backstory.

Note: He had a 60% chance of also having Purify Food & Water, but rolled too high. He can try again when he achieves 2nd level.


Miraculous Magical Effects
     All Clerics have a 60% - 5% per Alignment over 1 to be able to cast spells as a Primitive Talent Magic User, again he rolled too high. Clerics with Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma of 15+, have the same percentage chance cast spells as a Shaman. He rolled a 28, the three weeks in the cell is when he will encounter his Totem Spirit (predetermined to be a bear). Until then he cannot cast spells.

  1. A noble Werebear priest, that's a highly unusual character, but considering the nature of C&S character generation, it's possible.
