Lower4Lyfe, don't play by no rules, even Talir's.

I'd like to put the creativity of our community to the test and see what manner of class perks/backgrounds you think should be added to our rather limited pool. The competition is thus: make a rogue perk or a fighter/sorcerer background and post it here for a chance to earn an uniquely crafted item resembling a part of your character's history in-game. I'll look through the suggestions and hand over the reward to the winner(s) after this weekend. Regardless of victory, I'll add the contributions I like to the selection in-game so this is your chance to put in the stuff you've always wanted.

Feel free to make as many suggestions as you'd like.

A few things to consider:

• The perk/background should offer bonuses. Negatives may be fine but don't try to vastly modify the class with it and give skills like -20 bluff, +20 persuade.
• The feat bonuses that can be given are limited. As a rule, anything you can add to an item is easy enough to give as a reward.
• Less special scripting is easier but creative adjustments can be done.
• Follow the system already in place for the different perks/backgrounds. This means that the backgrounds get stronger by levels whereas the strength of the rogue perks is different between the level 5 pick and level 8 pick.
• Feel free to look at those we already have for ideas and balance (*cough*).
• ... I'll update this short list if needed.

What I look for in the perk/background:

• Creativity.
• Strength in concept.
• Appealing to a wide range of characters yet providing a special niche or flavor.
• Subtle but meaningful adjustments.
• Easy to implement.

Please include:

• Name.
• Description.
• Perk/background bonuses (and progression where needed).

Just a suggestion, people should actually read this post before just blasting out massive duplicates of current perks or slight alterations that are vastly overpowered.

Rogue Perks:

Level 5- -Forger:

"From falsified receipts to false orders a Forger's work in crime is unprecedentedly useful. A clerk in your youth or simply a dedicated criminal you have found that personal business brings far more wealth than public office."

Perk: Per-reset generated Citizenship Papers. Special Consideration for DM-aided forged letters, orders, or otherwise.

Level 8 -Conman

"Whether a shiftless troublemaker wandering from town to town or a dedicated and debonair gentleman there is no limit to the lengths you'll go to game a mark be it tailored disguises, wigs, or more."

Perk: Access to the "/C setheadset" command outside of the starting area to represent disguises, No charge for tailored clothes at Brem Blazon's.

There are few things that unite living beings in this world moreso than the pursuit of Tea. A warming beverage to heat the hands on a cold night's watch, a calming elixir when the troubles of crime pursue you, a peasant's afternoon pleasure or an exotic debonair gentleman's delight. Each individual has their own tastes and the beauty in the beholder but it is an undeniable truth- Perhaps even the one truth upon this world.
