Enter Virgil!

[james_davis_nicoll]

For an upcoming 13th Age campaign, I didn't want to play another low wisdom murder hobo, so without getting into details the GM might object to, I will be playing a sorcerer whose wisdom is above average (1) and who has a really good reason to start totting up points on the good side of the ledger.


1: Granted, only his third best stat. It's his physical stats that are merely average.

I can't be the only one who saw the post title and immediately wondered if you had acquired another feline companion.

No more cats, please. I have enough.

"Enough" is a flexible concept. For me, zero cats would be "enough." But my wife has five. I avoid the question of whether she thinks she has enough.

After I am dead, I fear, she will acquire more and my legacy will be spent on cat food.

"Too many" is likewise flexible. When I adopted my Yorkie Gracie, the paperwork informed me that the previous owners had "too many pets". In the years since, observing Gracie's behavior, I have debated whether "too many" meant "two"... or "one".

Conservation laws suggest that when you go you will be replaced with an equal mass of cats. Or, I suppose, fewer cats if they are moving at high enough speed...

"low wisdom murder hobo" = the Punisher?

[james-nicoll.livejournal.com]

Among others, yes.

Is this character deliberately a riff off the Medieval ascription of sorcerous powers to the poet Virgil?

[james-nicoll.livejournal.com]

Nope.

A high-wisdom murder hobo? Sounds like a high-status premodern warrior: Kill people, take their stuff, and then compose poetry about it.
