The Dragon Tablets: Nephithi Andas 2.0

Let’s see what Nephithi looks like now. With the new templates she is a Shadow Elf (racial template), Arcane Warrior (character template), and Chosen One (motivational lens), which will take most of her budgeted points and leave little room for any personal touches. And considering that she spent 554 points last time and now only have 500, there is much that has to be left on the cutting room floor.

Feriel by kerembeyit as Nephithi Andas.

Notes

She has 6 unspent points and 4 remaining quirks.

Magicka, Absolute Direction, Accessory, and both Shticks are added outside the budget as they are setting switches. So there are no changes there.

In a general sense, she is less capable. But with almost 10% of her points gone, that wasn’t unexpected. But she is less capable to such an extent that one can assume that anything she was able to do before, she either cannot do at all or not as well.

She is still as strong, attractive, colorful, combat ready, but not combat precise, and lucky as she used to be. As the voice of the group, she is just as capable in that arena as she used to be. She knows monsters as well as she did, except demons.

She is more perceptive now, even in total darkness. And destiny is on her side. She is knowledgeable about cryptids, more undead than she used to be, and vampires. Vampires replace demons as her focus. She now know how to trance, use a crossbow, hike, ride, run, swim, and wrestle.

She is a sorceress instead of a wizardess. So the spells of the standard Magic system are gone and has been replaced by Sorcery. Which means it takes longer to pick the right spell, but she can improvise.

Her disadvantages are all there, but her desire to be the sorceress supreme is more severe and her main reason for being an adventurer. And we have added that shadow elves are not well liked and that her ears are much bigger than they should be.
