Character Description

Ildestin, by his own description, is a philosopher and connoisseur of the finest the Dying Earth has to offer, a raconteur and peerless lover. By the words of others, he is a hyperactive rogue, liar, cheat and master of disguises who has impersonated personages both illustrious and mundane to steal those treasure (both monetary and of the flesh) that are not rightfully his.

Commentary

God, I wish my players were more into Dying Earth. Great character creation proces, both for low-level Cugel characters and the high level but extremely trivial Rhialto characters. This is a greatly underrated game. Good combination of random rolling and point buying.
