Ok Ive been bad, yep thats right bad, not bad in the evil v good world of DnD but as a player
in Layonara. How have I been bad? well I took a long hard look at Layonara and found that its very hard for thows of good alinment to do good to thows who relay need it. What do I mean by this? well there are ways. Like healing PCs who are hurt, doing good quests, killing or stoping evil things out there in the wilds, but its the day today good I found hard to find. So I asked my self what would a real do gooder do in the day, all thows Paladins and good drow running around what would they do when not helping starting PCs and the like.
Why they would help the poor, do good works and genraly make the world a better place for thows not of a Hiroic bering in life. But who would that be, the trades people of Hlilt? say the towns folk?. But they are the grate unseen NPCs and PCs dont get to "do" stuff with them, its just infered.
I wondered what would happon if there was a PC, A PC who was poor and in need, a PC that the do gooders could do good for. UREKA!
Ok he had to have a need and a reason to be so poor, he would have to be unfit for a trade, Physicly unfit, a disater in his past would have rendered him unfit to do any task that could give him a living. Gross difigerment and body imparment is what i came up with and so Himon One leg came into being. The Begger some of you my have seen or been so good as to give food and coin to.
Himon is a good soul who throw no folt of his own full on hard times.Body broken will smashed he is the grate unwashed, he is the down troden, One of thows thats was not faverd by the gods
he played no part in the grate plain, just one of thows that fell throw the crakes and is happy to be there. Let other ne heros, let othere clime the dizzy hights of fame and power. Hamon is just happy to have a hot meal and a bed for the night. In his world, hand to mouth is the oder of the day, his perspetive if far difarent from others who seek to do! he merly seeks to servive.
Now heres where I have been bad, see for Himon to be this he can not do what other PC do, he will never leve town, its just to dangaros for a one legged one eyed, scared begger whos only got parshell use of his hands (kind of stops magic) He dos not wont to be a hiroic fighter with power and I dont wont him to as well. That not what Hamons about. He will alwasy be 1st level.
He will tye his best not to stick his neck out or get invoved in any thing dangarus. He now cowered his just realistic what use is a half bing one leged begger in a fight.
He begs thats what he knows and it worked so for in keeping him alive.
Hamon is a Bumb and happy to be so.
So why bad again?, Well as layonara is set up so that most new players are good the idear so to explout this. My idaer was to make a PC who needs good PCs, needs them and uses them to keep alive. I do feel like a cheat for this meta-gaming as others run around pushing there PCs to ever more hights, interacting in the grater world and the grater narive where as hammon just takes.
In my defeance I would say that I also feel that he also gives, I feel he is that rear thing in Layonara a good reson todo day to day good.
I had a Paladin by me dinner and talk about good gods, even evil PC give coin so as to inbares the good and show hiporacey. Others have offered new wooden legs as aid. all of which has been grate RP.
I have come across Player need to get Hamon into the game trying to entice him to jion them in one of there advenchuers all of which he as refused politly.
Some PCs have been hostile as is there linment, other carring.
As Hamon I have met so may PCs by just standing still that came as a shock.
So if you see him be kind and rember his player may have been bad but he has not.
