Sooo many Rogues...

 

My Melee Wizard Extraordinaire!

 

Playing on Hard, he can actually take a fair bit of abuse before needing to rest, but I usually have to rest due to the per rest abilities and spells being spent first, so the health aspect doesn't really impact me. While he can't do primary tank duty, he can usually tie up one or two enemies if necessary. This is with offensive spells only, he can be far better defensively with a defensive spell or two.

I think this is the first Paladin to get thrown into the mix.  Bonus points if you know where the name is from.  Don't cheat and google it though.

Jaessikya, Pale Elf Druid Hunter, from the White that Wends.

[Evenfall]

Eldric Evenfall the Bleak Walker paladin. Embracing the dark side and going in!

[Zeckul]

Looking badass.

Some sweet custom potraits there guys! Where do you find these things?

 

Only played two hours so far... (work and all that). Started an intelligent type scholar character but found her quite boring to roleplay (you know, it's no fun defusing tense situations with intellect when I actually want to stab people)

 

Gonna restart tonight like with a more "blood knight" attitude character(^_^)

How did I do?

 

(This was my very first character. I'm on my third playthrough now)

 

Blowing things up and burning things is a sacred duty.






My hype meter is at 120% for some matchlock carnage.

Nice.

So far I'm happy with Grimm. Took me six different times to recreate him before I got the right combo.

I would post my first char, however I seem to have come down with a bad case of compulsive restart syndrome.

Finding a good fit is hard.

 

I believe I have Chanter stats down pat, but I have come to the conclusion that I will be playing a Fighter PC.

Where are people getting these portraits.

 

Hell, how did you even get it?

Yes, I can feel a strong bout of that coming on too. I'll be mentally conjuring all sorts of combinations in work today.

That's my trouble at the moment, I'm just 

 

trying to find a better build for my fighter.

Aehlona Kindheart, I'm rping her as the daughter of a slaver-lord from the Vailian republics, forced to flee when the tide of politics turned. She's bent on re-establishing her families trading empire and getting revenge on the faction lords who ousted her family.

 

I intend to play her as a fast attacking interrupter/debuffer. Time will tell if a 4 con character is viable, probably not.

Where did you get that portrait?

You can replace the default portraits here:

Steam\SteamApps\common\Pillars of Eternity\PillarsOfEternity_Data\data\art\gui\portraits

You need two images, one bigger 210x330, and smaller 76x96

My replacment:

1: Nice.

2: Wait, she has 20 extra attribute points. How?... Actually, that's probably a spoiler, nevermind. Should be playing more.

I edited this image http://liangxinxin.deviantart.com/art/Dragonwoman-Mylwaye2-414527276 to fit the size requirements (and obviously mirrored it)

It's a shame I couldn't get the hat in. Hats with feathers are stylish.

By the way you do not have to replace the default portraits, when you put your custom ones in the directory they show up as additional portraits.

 

This thread is where I learned how to do it: http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/66894-how-to-make-custom-portraits/

 

I get all my portraits from Deviantart.

[Menion_Leah]

For those asking about custom portraits there is a great thread here:  http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/71722-the-custom-portraits-thread/

 

As for mine while there are tons of pre-made humans, elves, dwarves, etc., out there, finding a bald blue Island Aumaua was a bit harder unless I wanted to go with a photo of someone from the Blue Man Group.    The one bald Aumaua portrait included with the game just didn't work for this character.  So I did an extensive search of any images I could find of Doctor Manhattan from The Watchmen, found a really cool one that someone did that seemed to kind of fit the art style of the other portraits in the game, and chopped it to fit.  It seems to convey the attitude I had in mind for my character and I am very happy with it!

[Mungri]

After a few mock characters, I finally settled on this for my Wizard:

 

 

I went for max AoE / Effect Duration and Damage, also this race gets a +15 accuracy bonus against some stuff, and Merchant for the lore and mechanics bonus because I want him to be a trapper too.

Shame about the hat, but hey at least you fit some cleavage in.  

[Mungri]

Oooh, I found a pretty hat!

Alessandro grew up in a rich Vailian family. He became disillusioned by the politicking and material nature of his family's lifestyle. He left to spread the idea of bringing about good through being earnest and forthright. He is intelligent and knowledgeable after studying many years in the aristocracy and has high resolve due to his conviction.
