Peregrine and I have voted to spend our remaining 15 specialist points on a Linguist/Teacher. Com+3, Teaching 6, Languages 6. Where did you get your stats for the Com 2/Teach 5 Greek instructor? Do you want these two people to be the same guy?
I had nominally joked that the Linguist should turn out to be a Welshman related to Daffyd and Catrin.
This was something cleared with JL a while a go as to getting a language teacher. Stats are made up as there was no BP spent but a scholar recruited from the university. This can be the language teacher that was bought.
i don't recall requiring it, but I probably made a strong suggestion to the effect, I honestly don't recall. My trouble with Jacques is that I never really intended him to be a primary player, a utility player, yes. I hadn't done the work necessary to craft a suitable story that fits into the saga, and it's during this time that I've been activating story flaws. The two notable exceptions to that are Fiona, since I already did hers, and the thread where the Quaesitores visit.
When I look Jacques over, I don't have much to bite on, because I'm not as familiar with the character. I'll see if I can do a princeps story for him and come up with something if you're insistent. The Dance with the Devil thread plays directly to your Pagan story flaw for Korvin. We could postpone it, but the effects will likely be more...severe.
Note, if you don't want stories involving being a pagan, and just want to be a pagan, you need to pick a different story flaw. I don't mind it, but I take the story flaw thing seriously, its your contract with me as a player that these are the kinds of stories that you're interested in.
Not quite sure where I said or implied that I did not want to have a story with Korvin and his Pagan flaw. We can relegate Jacques to a side show as I would rather do Korvin than. Jacques.
Umm, you took Pagan as a story flaw. That's where you implied it.
Story flaws are to quote the the book:
If you're treating it as an internal thing, it's not much more than a personality flaw, which means Korvin has two major Personality flaws, which isn't allowed, only 1 major and 1 minor. So, tell me what kind of stories you're giving me license to pull you into (pick another flaw or as many as necessary to rebalance the character). What I mean by that, you can keep pagan, and we can call it a minor personality flaw, which means you only have 8 flaws and need two more. You can pick two minor story flaws, I really don't have an objection to that, as it gives me license to pull you in multiple directions.
Make sense?
Alright, some of this is my fault in misreading... and putting the pieces together in the wrong order.
This statement didn't really answer my question, which was if you could handle more stories... So it sent me off into you didn't want your Pagan story flaw mode... When you didn't answer my question yes or no or I can do Renaud and Korvin I became confused.
So, you're good with the pagan story flaw story, and I misread
as saying, "Not sure where I said or implied that I want to have a story with Korvin and his Pagan flaw" I missed the not in there on a couple of different readings, probably because of the ambiguity of your Jacques/Renaud/Korvin/Abigail statement.
Now that we're on the same page...onward to further debauchery.
Alright. Just to be clear, run the stories that you might find interesting. Korvin is the main character and should always have a story. I would take a story with Renault over one with Jacques so that is the order.
So one story unless you want to push a plot/story for the other two.
I'm just doing the 5 year bump for all characters I'm responsible for. I will still do Claude and (the other grog whose name I am spacing on).
Well, I hope I'm doing stories you find interesting. I just misread the whole Pagan thing and thought you didn't want it until I read it more slowly, so this is entirely my fault.
