school for kids who can't fight good and want to learn how to do other stuff good too

[heavyhitter]

Hey guys! With Ramir's recent post in mind, I figured I'd throw something together for characters looking to be taught or teach fighty stuff. So here's an OOC planning thing for it! You don't have to have tagged the post to participate, you can assume your character found out there's lessons going on through word of mouth, or however else you like. And on a similar note, Ramir would be happy to play matchmaker and pair teachers with students if you're not sure how the connection might kick off, or you can also handwave that having taken place elsewise. Whatever works!

If you play a teacher, go ahead and use this form and post it in the teacher thread:
<b>Character name:</b> <b>Character journal:</b> <user name=journal> <b>Skills:</b> List any teachable combat skills your character has that they'd be willing to teach others! <b>Notes:</b> Here's the Anything Else section. Is your character going to be a hardass teacher, would they take some doing to be convinced to teach their skills? Would they demand payment from students? Any teachable non-combat skills to throw into the bargain? Any kind of personality they get along with really well, or clash with? Is there a maximum number of students you want them to take on? Anything you can think of that prospective student-players should know.

And students, here's your form for the student thread:
<b>Character name:</b> <b>Character journal:</b> <user name=journal> <b>Preexisting skills:</b> What is your character already good at, and what kind of a foundation are they building on? <b>Skills sought:</b> What would you like your character to learn? It's fine if you don't have anything in mind yet. <b>Notes:</b> Here's the Anything Else section. Would your character be a terrible student or a dedicated learner? Any hang ups that they'd have to get over in lessons? Handicaps? Any kind of personality they get along with really well, or clash with? Anything you can think of that prospective teacher-players should know.

Once that's all filled out, go student/teacher shopping! And yes, you can totally sign up under both headers. Pick up new skills, grab CR you've been coveting for a while! I'm figuring teachers could have multiple students and students could have multiple teachers, just to spread the CR all around. You're also welcome to either plan out threads here, or just talk out and handwave how the lessons would go.

Character name: Meallan Lavellan
Character journal: strikingtwice
Skills: Combat magic! Specifically your flashy video game "here's a lightning storm enjoy your screaming death" style. Also tracking and survivalist skills if anyone is interested in that direction. He also knows some archery and is proficient with a staff, but since he's not really able to use those skills right now he can only give some pointers and can't demonstrate anything.
Notes: While unfortunately Thedas has a 'either you're born with magic or you're not' policy on it, so Meallan can't teach those without magic the skill, he can help those who do know it already with refining spells and whatnot. He wouldn't need convincing beyond someone expressing an interest in learning and wouldn't expect any payment for it either. He'd likely be a pretty patient teacher, though he might tease and joke around with students a little if they seem like they can take that.
