The Dragon Tablets: Arthur Wing 2.1

Arthur was also over budget last time, but not as much as Nephithi was. So again we have to cut things out. Looking at the image, I would assume that Arthur is a Palatial, so let’s go with that. This means we have to spend points on a racial template we didn’t need to last time too. As for the other templates, he is a Crusader (Character template) and Clergy (motivational lens).

Notes

Legal Immunity (Cleric): It works much like Bardic Immunity. You can do anything in your religious capacity and no one but the Church can do anything about it, other than banish you.
Magicka, Absolute Direction, Accessory, and both Shticks are added outside the budget as they are setting switches. So there are no changes there.

Magery and spells were traded for Divine Favor and learned prayers. And although he only has access to one of them at a time, it feels like an awesome trade.

Because Arthur now is a Palatial, he is smarter and healthier than he used to be, which also makes him more skilled at several things. He is not as strong as he used to be, but the difference in damage is barely noticeable and the difference in encumbrance is nonexistent.

Arthur traded the equal Ally we didn’t know what to do with for two quarter allies he can actually use. As another substantial advantage had to go, we let go of High Pain Threshold, as it wasn’t needed last time around.

As all disadvantages couldn’t stay, Intolerance had to go. And as Obsession wasn’t on the list, it was replaced with a second Vow.

The 5 extra skill points we got from the Clergy lens were used to keep his Riding skill were it used to be and to improve Esoteric Medicine further together with dropping First Aid, as the latter skill no longer was needed.

In combat, he is better with his main weapon and worse at his additional melee weapons. He is a better healer, both magically and mundanely.

In the final analysis, we haven’t spent all of his character points, but what we have feels pretty good.
