A Cairn 2e Character

Patch, Barber-Surgeon

You walk the line between healer and harrower, knowing the frailty of the flesh but also the secrets that lay within.
With the right tools, life and death are merely words.

STR DEX WIL HP Age
7 14 10 1 21

How have you “improved” yourself?
You have a replacement eye that can magnify objects, acts as a telescope, and provides minimal night vision. You cannot wear anything metal on your head, and strong magnets make you deprived.

What rare tool is essential to your work?
Quicksilver A stimulant. Go first in combat, and automatically pass any WIL saves for one hour. Addictive: Save STR or become deprived after 24 hours without it (4 uses).

Bounds
An entertainer once visited your home, filling it with story and song. He left one day without a word, leaving behind only a Miniature Lute. Something rattles inside.

Omen (if youngest character in party)
The night sky grows dimmer each evening, as if stars are disappearing one by one. Rumors of hellish creatures capturing farmers and pulling them into The Roots are spreading like wildfire. Village elders believe the two are connected.
