Mod idea: a couple of small NPC

[Garfield]

Here is a mod I alreay started to devellop in my french modding community. It adds two NPC to the game.

 

Ginera an illusionist female gnome of neutral good alignement.

Str:8

Dex:18

Con:10

Int:19

Wiz:15

Cha:13

Total: 83

 

Her husband is joignable too. His name is Brenn, he is a lawful good halfling kensaï.

Str:16

Dex:19

Con:16

Int:10

Wiz:8

Cha:16

Total:85

 

For the moment, I only have the NPC done, plus two long swords for Brenn:

-Sparkle:

1d8+2

Immunity to charms

Can charm an humanoid for 15 seconds

 

-Vivid-iron (sounds better in french: Vif-Acier):

1d8+3

TAC0 +2

 

So I'd like to have your opinion about this idea. One thing worries me: some french people are not really keen on the halfling kensai, and think a thief would be more appropriate. As for me, a halfling thief is more stereotyped. Anyway...

 

What do you think of this mod?

 

Thanks

Hm, I agree that following stereotypes isn't a good reason to make a halfling a thief. On the other hand, breaking those stereotypes in this particular way, with a Lawful Good fighter, in the same game with Mazzy...I'm not sure that's a good idea, either.

 

I'm also dubious about both stats that get racial bonuses being maxed (the gnome with 19 Intelligence, the halfling with 19 Dexterity).

[Garfield]

For the stats, you are right, this is too much. But I think I will keep the 19 in dex for Brenn. I lowered Ginera's dex and intellignece by 1, and increased her constitution by 2.

 

As for Brenn, I keep the stats except that I lowered his charisma by 1 point.

 

For the Lawful good, you are right too. I think in the way I'd like to devellop his personnality, lawful neutral should go well too. He is not especially seeking for good and justice, but he has a great sense of honor, discipline and method. For him, everything should be done in a way precedently defined. He is a hard workinf person, training each day to be one with his sword in a fight.

All of this allows to break the stereotype without copying Mazzy...

 

At least, I hope so...
