Description:
Anaqualia is short for her age, but she deosn't let that get to her. She's got platinum blonde hair that is perfectly straight, and slightly pointed ears. She's got deep green eyes the color of the lush grasses of her home burgh in summertime. She is usually happy and upbeat with some optimistic outlook on any situation that she should find herself in. She is generally good natured and is smart enough to know that bodies like hers can be frail. As such she will only get in a fight if there is no other option.

Background:
Anaqualia was raised by her mother on a small farm on the outside edge of a small burgh. She has always loved playing in the tall grass and nearby forests. Growing up she never had a father, and it wasn't until she was older that her mother told her the truth about her father. As it turns out he had been murdered by highwaymen whilst he was delivering a load of grain to the next burgh. He had been an elf, which would account for her very slightly elvish features. When she heard that her father had been killed in such a fashion, she resloved herself that she would never let that happen to anyone elses father again. She took up the sword and began training with anyone that had knowledge of the blade. She soon outgrew her teachers and required further training. Her mother had always wanted to take her to a burgh far, far, away. This burgh is supposed to be the safest place in all the Duchies. When she found out that it also housed an academy for training heroes, she got together enough money to allow her and her mother to move to Justica. She began her studies and has proved to be as good with the sword as she is in the library. To this day her mother lives nearby and enjoys visits between studies.

Time to update some stuff.

Anaqualia, per the end of Black Tooth Tribe, gains 2000 xp and levels up - she takes another level of Fighter, and the...
[dice=10]+1
...6 hit points that come with it, bringing her up to a grand total of 17 HP. She gains +1 BAB, +1 Fort Save, and a feat which she burns on Exotic Wpn Prof: Bastard Sword. She also gets 6 skill points, which I'll burn later on in the post.

Anaqualia sells off her overly large, clumsy greatsword and loud, sluggish scale mail, and even her longbow/arrows to get a change of pace (25 for the Greatsword, 25 for the Scale, 37.5 for the bow, .5 for the arrows; total of 88 gp). Combined with her meager savings (4 gp, 5 sp) and her earnings from the Black Tooth Tribe (940 gp, 9 sp, 5 cp), this amounts to 1,033 gp, 4 sp, 5 cp. She uses it for the following:

1. To repay her loan for the Horse Rental (15 gp)
2. To buy a proper BAG (25 gp)
3. To buy a Masterwork Bastard sword (335 gp), a MW Chain Shirt (250 gp), a heavy wooden shield (7 gp), and 4 throwing knives (8 gp).
4. Learning the value of potions, she also purchases 2 Potions of Cure Light Wounds (100 gp)
- A drum she can travel with. (5 gp)

This totals 745 gp, leaving her with 288 gp (and some change). I have some questions before I can rightly spend it. What I'd like to do is the following...

- 150 gp on a Light Warhorse
- 14 gp on a Riding Saddle and Saddlebags
- 50 gp to buy a young dog (with Riding Dog stats, per Japic's post in the Handouts section with information on buying a young, untrained dog). Anaqualia would like to use her own Handle Animal skills to train the dog with the Guarding package, plus 2 additional tricks: Track and Fetch. That totals 6, which is the animal's limit with 2 Int.

Is that okay? Can she do that? I'm specifically curious about the Riding Dog stats, because she wants a hardy animal to accompany her on missions (standard dog has something like 6 hit points). Heck, if the price for a young Wardog (per Japic's post) is feasible, she'll do that.

This costs 214 gp, which leaves her with 74 gp, 4 sp, and 5 cp. She will save it.

Skill points distributed as follows:
- 1 point for Handle Animal (which should be at 9 with the addition of that point. For some reason the Skill Focus bonus is listed as +1, not +3). This will also boost her Ride by 2 points, for a Synergy bonus.
- 1 point for Ride
- 1 point for Swim
- 1 point for Climb
- 2 points for 1 rank in Tumble (cross-class)

I'll also be naming her horse and dog at some point, probably when we get to the adventure.[rand=4456519638250110460019849516518297074198701930157411945723072252]

[TheUdjat]

- an additional 55 gold for training the dog, per discussion with Japic. It knows the 'Guarding' set of tricks, plus Fetch and Track.

Still trying to name it. And the horse. Freakin' chick and her animals...

[Toptomcat]

Is it just me, or are you short a feat? SF (Handle Animal) and Power Attack ought to leave room for another bonus fighter feat, the one you're supposed to get at second level. Probably EWP (bastard sword), so you can use that shield of yours.

[TheUdjat]

She has it, and she's used that shield before. It just didn't get into the main update for some reason. See my leveling up post, and in that top paragraph, I state she takes that feat.

[TheUdjat]

Per end of If That Diamond Ring Don't Shine:

ANA
-A delicate bracelet of white and yellow braided strands of gold. Tiny jade colored stones carved in the shape of leaves are woven throughout the shimmering mesh.
-When worn, this item grants a +5 competence bonus to Bluff checks made to deceive orcs and half orcs
-This item is a gift and may not be exchanged for a gold value, nor will its effects work when wielded by another.
-This item occupies no body slot

IN ADDITION

Everyone. . .
-Level up characters to level 3 in a post at the bottom of their respective sheets.
-Gain 1,800 gp to be used as you see fit, (or you may leave it unspent for the next player who should come along)

Ana levels up to Fighter 3. She gains: 1d10+1 HP, +1 BAB, +1 Ref and Will, and +6 skill points. Takes Combat Expertise as her feat for 3rd level.

Skill Points distributed as follows:
+1 Handle Animal (so it's +10)
+5 Jump (making it +8: -1 for ACP and +4 for Str); also gives a +2 synergy bonus to Tumble

HP:
[dice=10]+1
Total: 8, for 25 total HP

Everyone who is making their own characters, Note that you are NOT making Academy characters and they will not be entered into the Academy Character sheets at the end of the game.
(I don't really want to get involved in that and setting unnecessary precedents as Academy Characters were built with heroic standards in mind)

Message received.

In reacquainting myself with Anaqualia for Love Thy Slaver, the previous stated direction doesn't seem appropriate for her anyway. In light of her love for animals, skill points, and light armor, Ana will take a level of Ranger for her 4th level.

She gains:

• Track (Bonus Feat)
  
• Favored Enemy (Orc)
  
• Wild Empathy (As opposed to a straight level+cha check, is there any way her considerable Handle Animal skill can factor into this?)
  
• +1 BAB
  
• +2 fort, +2 ref
  
• 10 skill points
  
• d8 HP
  
• Stat adjustment for 4th level (boosts Con to 14 (+2)

For HP:
[dice=8]
+2 for Con. Also +3 for her previous three levels (increased Con). New HP should be 25+8+3=36

As for her skill points, she takes 1 point each of Climb, Jump, Swim, Handle Animal, Survival, Knowledge: Geography, Knowledge: Dungeoneering, and Knowledge: Nature. The remaing two points go to buy Speak Language (Orc).

Equipment:
Ana has her possessions listed as

Possessions: 1,924 gp, 4 sp, 5 cp

MW Bastard Sword
Punching dagger
MW Chain Shirt
Heavy Wooden Shield
4x Throwing Knife
Travel size drum
BAG
Light Warhorse- Coquetta (Riding Saddle & Saddlebags)
Riding Dog-Shadow

This puts her at about 2865.45 gp, and far under the 5,400 mark (I didn't count the unique item, but if you like, I can guess a cost for it). As such, I am upgrading her as if she received an additional 2,534.55 GP, to put her up with the others. Unless you veto this, of course. She has a total of 4,459 in cash by this math.

Expenditures are as follows:
-Replace MW Chain Shirt with +1 Mithril Shirt [1,975 GP, after deducting 1/2 cost of MW Chain Shirt (125)]
-Enchant MW Bastard Swird with a +1 Enhancement bonus (2,000 GP)

This leaves 484 gp, which she'll hang onto for the time being as personal savings.

All of the above changes made, her sheet should look like this:
