424 – What is that on your face?

One thing that I've been remiss about is telling you all exactly what Philo is, class-wise. However, instead of just spelling it all out for you guys, I have elected to take Stephen King's advice and show, not tell readers about a character. The first clue has been laid in this strip. Let the wild guessing begin! ;)

Also, before I go, I'd appreciate it if you all would send your prayers/ good vibes/ whatever you feel comfortable with to the folks in Granbury, Texas, who just got hit by 10 tornadoes. I have family in Granbury and my mother-in-law grew up there, so you can bet I've been watching the news. Everyone in my extended family there are all right, but still... TEN tornadoes. Yikes. Stay safe, Granbury.

Take care,

~Rob

  1. I’ll guess a Rouge/Spy. It would help the group out(lock picking, information gathering, ect) and let the high mage keep a better eye on his daughter.

  2. Judging by what I’ve seen of his gear, I’d say sorcerer/rogue. Then again could be anything really. (Stares at evil DM)

  3. In a 3.5 setting I’d say Philo is a Rogue/Wizard/Arcane trickster lev 4/4/2, or a Rogue/Guild Thief lev5/5. Both op, but then again the Elf king has sent him out to keep tabs on Jaine.

    With regards Old n Grumpy

  4. Mayhap Philo is an Artificer of some sort? That could explain the gadgets he has, as well as any familiarity he has with mechanical apparati, such as locks, as well as any knowledge of the Arcane.
    Either way, I like the unique look you have given to each character, it suits them well.
    I also saw the tornado reports on the news, I was down in that area 9 years ago for awhile. I will pray extra for those in Granbury.

  5. I would also go with Artificer with maybe PrC of LoreMaster? I would rule out Wizard since I’ve never seen him with a spellbook and Sorcerer since I’ve seen no spell component pouch on him.

    Well wishes to those struck by the tornadoes.

  6. I have it,….he is a polymorphed Gnome Tinkerer,… or was trained/raised by one and followed in his “father’s footsteps” then returned to the elves when his “father” died,…..
