Date: Wed, 23 Oct 1996 16:37:59 +1000 (EST) From: Timothy Ferguson Subject: Sir Derfel, Duke of Lindsey. ============== INSERT: Derfel's abilities: Derfel is a religious knight, especially well known for his temperence and valour. His Love of God verges on the fanatical, and he sees the Saxon deities as demons, from whom the Saxons in his domain need saving. Those skills which reflect his religious practices are extremely high, but his more festive courtly skills are poor as a result of this concentrated study. The many experience checks given to landholders give him a rapport with common people and nobles alike, although he doesn't really understand the dark side of noble society. Derfel is very handsome, but no so skilled in combat as some of the other Knights of the Round Table. His Glory is extremely high, although it is predominently gained through his holdings and largesse. He regularly skirmishes with the Saxons, which prevents his reputation rusting. His suspiscious score has two modifiers "Non-Romans" and "Pendragon". Arthur is an honorary Roman in Derfel's eyes, so these are not cumulative. ============ Name: Derfel Homeland: Leicestershire (Lindsey) Culture: Roman Religion: Christian Father's Name: Corneus Father's Class: Duke Son Number: 1 Lord: Arthur Current Class: Duke Current Home: Lincoln (Lindsey) Age 47 Year Born 387 Personality Traits Chivalry Bonus [] (total =80+) Yes Religion Bonus: Yes Chaste 18 / 2 Lustful Energetic 12 / 8 Lazy Forgiving 17 / 3 Vengeful Generous 12 / 8 Selfish Honest 16 / 4 Deceitful Just 19 / 1 Arbitrary Merciful 16 / 4 Cruel Modest 19 / 1 Proud *Pious 12 / 8 Worldly Prudent 12 / 8 Reckless Temperate 21 / 0 Indulgent Trusting 12 / 8 Suspicious ** Valorous 21 / 0 Cowardly Directed Trait: * After he takes the cloth: +4 Directed Trait: ** Non-Romans: +9, Pendragon + 3 Passions Loyalty (lord) 18 Love (family) 15 Hospitality 14 Honor 14 Love (God) 21 Love (City) 13 Equipment Carried Armor Type: Partial plate [14] + 3 Chiv.
