[quote=@Kassarock]I like Baldric. Someone with some anger and alcohol issues is always a fun addition to the mix. The only real pointer that I have for you is to cut down on the number of abilities Baldy has to 3, you can still do other things, but these are your special qualities, the things you are better than most other people at. I would also consider perhaps having your character as the leader of lance rather than just a common infantry man considering their long history and relatively long tenure with the Band.[/quote] Thank you for this positive constructive criticism. This, I can work with. I have updated [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4517527]Baldric Durant[/url] with your comments. I took the additional items, I had initially placed in the "abilities" section and included their verbage in his personal history. I made his rank, "Man-at-Arms" which is what you expect for a Lance Commander. I had considered adding spaulders, simply to provide additional armor to that area. Do you believe that would be necessary? I limited his abilities to the first three, removing horsemanship to a skill acquired during his history. I cannot RP as a young man, simply because I have been an old man longer than I was ever a boy. I am also a grizzled veteran in real life, so it suits me. I have been reading military history for 43 years and lived the life of a soldier for 21 years. Personally, I am not an alcoholic, but I learned how to from the best, my father. :btw
