Owns a bar (expect profession[chef] and/or craft[cooking] ranks!) and is also an occasional foreign correspondent for the Korranberg Chronicle.

Fluff scribbles:

- born on Sarlona to a wandering band in Sykarn => speaks Riedran fluently, not Common
- stowed away on a ship to Khorvaire (accidentally?)
- arrived in Sharn, eventually got a job selling papers for the Korranberg Chronicle and learned to cook
- started reading the papers he was selling because nobody would buy them and taught himself to read/write Common
- managed to get the attention of one of the editors with an article + lunch combo
- eventually got posted to Stormreach as a junior correspondent
- worked there for several years, eventually quit to run a restaurant, but still sends tidbits and culinary columns back to make a little extra on the side
- joined HfH as a way to get protection while acquiring exotic ingredients

Personality notes:
- inquisitive
- many malapropisms
- a little food-crazy

Eventual possible PRC: Adamantine Chef, if the option for War Mind appears I'd happily take it

Your backstory traits are...

: +2 Fortitude vs Poisons & Drugs; +4 vs Alcohol
: 2d20 take high 1/day on untrained skill

Couldn't find a better trait to represent the reporter background. Suggestions welcomed if you have ideas.

I actually took Affable for that - a decent reporter needs to be trustworthy and quick to gather information, after all.

Oh and since I didn't have enough money to buy a building either, Adoett is probably just using a tent in the market or something.

So I should probably make this officially official. Back in May, I had a chat with Dai about how I wasn't really engaged with the game at all and Adoett seemed like a really poor fit. I thought I'd dropped then (to the point that I stopped reading game threads), but Dai didn't get the same things out of that conversation that I did, and so we had another chat a couple days ago to clear that up. Basically, I felt like I wasn't doing anything useful and didn't really have much to add or look forward to playing the game, so I'm dropping because there's no point in lugging a player around who is only barely there. Feel free to keep Adoett around as a plot hook source, a chef, or even just a battering ram if you want.

With Dave and Dai's permission, I will be taking over Adoett, and rebuilding him to use the Mind Knight path instead of the Feral Warrior path. Links will be added in when I get a chance. Currently thinking of what weapons to plan on using. Current thought is to strap a cutting board to his arm (small wooden shield) and summon a Cleaver (hand axe?). Suggestions welcome, I was trying to think of two tools you actually use at the same time. Since I will be summoning each weapon as a separate action, a single weapon might be better. I'd thought about spear like for a spit roast, but most other uses ruin your cut of meat by putting a big hole in it.

Cleaver sounds fun, but Adoett's a cook, not a butcher, is he? Something knifey (loooong knifey) could work out for further preparing meat. Weapon-wise that would be... a shortsword? Scimitar? I'm not that much of a cook, but I faintly recall long meat knives.

One could make a case for a carving knife being a shortsword. What better way to ensure fresh ingredients than to kill them yourself?

IIRC there's an equivalence chart in the pathfinder cooking book.

Professional cooks generally do their own butchering... and a cleaver is really necessary for cutting through the bones.
Anyways, there's a huge range of kitchen implements. Summon your weapon of choice as the battle dictates.
Are you fighting gelatinous tofu? undead tarts? dragon ribeye? or flying radish swarms?
