Welcome to Curious Quill, an original content resource for d20 roleplaying.

Background: Urchin Vexer
Urchins are known for being fast-talkers and annoyances to the big folk with their chittering, bird-like speech. While this is a natural effect of both their physique and culture, some urchins train and hone their vocal abilities to be consistently and overtly frustrating to others, being able to influence others’ ability to resist and complete actions through skill. Through taunting or just sheer speed and volume of sound an urchin can break down people’s composure and cause them to give in or give up.

Background: Battledancer
The Way of the Sash is rooted in an ancient, sacred martial tradition that uses the movements of dance to be nimble and evasive combatants. Practitioners of this tradition are called battledancers. Battledancers are difficult to hit and outlast their opponents energy until they make themselves open to the battledancer’s attacks.
