I Am A: Neutral Good Elf Bard/Sorcerer (2nd/2nd Level)
Ability Scores:
Strength-12
Dexterity-11
Constitution-14
Intelligence-13
Wisdom-16
Charisma-14
Alignment:
Neutral Good A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias for or against order. However, neutral good can be a dangerous alignment because because it advances mediocrity by limiting the actions of the truly capable.
Race:
Elves are known for their poetry, song, and magical arts, but when danger threatens they show great skill with weapons and strategy. Elves can live to be over 700 years old and, by human standards, are slow to make friends and enemies, and even slower to forget them. Elves are slim and stand 4.5 to 5.5 feet tall. They have no facial or body hair, prefer comfortable clothes, and possess unearthly grace. Many others races find them hauntingly beautiful.
Primary Class:
Bards often serve as negotiators, messengers, scouts, and spies. They love to accompany heroes (and villains) to witness heroic (or villainous) deeds firsthand, since a bard who can tell a story from personal experience earns renown among his fellows. A bard casts arcane spells without any advance preparation, much like a sorcerer. Bards also share some specialized skills with rogues, and their knowledge of item lore is nearly unmatched. A high Charisma score allows a bard to cast high-level spells.
Secondary Class:
Sorcerers are arcane spellcasters who manipulate magic energy with imagination and talent rather than studious discipline. They have no books, no mentors, no theories just raw power that they direct at will. Sorcerers know fewer spells than wizards do and acquire them more slowly, but they can cast individual spells more often and have no need to prepare their incantations ahead of time. Also unlike wizards, sorcerers cannot specialize in a school of magic. Since sorcerers gain their powers without undergoing the years of rigorous study that wizards go through, they have more time to learn fighting skills and are proficient with simple weapons. Charisma is very important for sorcerers; the higher their value in this ability, the higher the spell level they can cast.

In other, less nerdtacular news,I have had a very productive day. I made a bunch of Christmas presents for my siblings - a pink bell-and-bead pendant for my youngest sister, a wallet chain for my eldest brother, and a very lovely bracelet and earring set for my other sister. She's four months pregnant and feels really ugly at the moment due to some horrible morning sickness, so it's that and a nice floaty blouse that will fit her even if she doubles in size. I'm a bit poor this year, so it was good to be able to still have some reasonable gifts for my family.
I also made a white wine and mushroom risotto. My boss gave me two bottles of practically foetal cheap white wine, and it was far too young to be anything but a cooking wine. Either that, or I could have made pickles. In any case, I don't think all the alchohol burned off. It was very...zingy, and now I'm actually feeling festive. Usually Christmas makes me feel festy more than anything else. Really, there are times I wonder about the population, especially the bit that insists on celebrating Chrissy as a winter festival, despite bales and bales of evidence to the contrary. Quite possibly the rest of the wine (in a glass, mixed with other things to cut out the vileness) may have something to do with it. Tastes a bit like a purple skittle.
I'm also making gingerbread dinosaurs later to take over to The Man's sisters. She has primary-school age kids, you see, and nothing rocks the casbah when you're a wean like a triceratops you can tear into with your big, gnashy teeth. Rar!
