You choose which of the d20s is used for the attack roll, ability check, or saving throw.You can also spend one luck point when an attack roll is made against you. Roll a d20, and then choose whether the attack uses the attacker’s roll or yours.If more than one creature spends a luck point to influence the outcome of a roll, the points cancel each other out; no additional dice are rolled.You regain your expended luck points when you finish a long rest.

Contacts:

1.  "Handler" is Mime's primary contact. Mine has no personal knowledge of handler's life and character.  He could piece it together, the clues are available.  He doesn't need to.  Handler has always been reliable.  She presumably works for the city council committee on road safety management. Mine has never met handler in person, but would likely be able to test her authenticity.
Handler has been compromised and is presumed dead.

2.  "Booty Hole" is a fence with a nasty small talk habbit.  He always has a variety of merchandise that can connect the dots in any number of criminal enterprises. He is an alien with an extra mouth and an extra arm.  Booty Hole usually doesn't even know he has given information to Mime. Booty hole has been investigating pigeon drones.

3. Osage is a trapper who favours the outskirts of parts of the city near wilds. He knows the more open parts of the roads well. Osage has little use for civilization, but appreciates fairness and honest dealings. Mime can usually find out about unusual activity on the roads from Osage if he or any other outdoorsmen he knows have seen or heard anything.

There had indeed been dispicable acts. There was a reckoning to follow. It was no more fair, but it was decisive. The record was blotted along with the offender's and their ward. There was no trial. There would be no public debate or even perceived satisfaction. In fact, no-one should ever speak of it again. But there was a remnant and, perhaps a hope for redemption. But no-one will ever know...

 The dispersed remnant, or "those who are not," would find their place blended into the colorful throng. Gifted in assimilation and mimicry, the cultural diffusion of the city was their salvation.  They have no ward.  They need no ward.  They are true citizens of the city and are loyal to it.  You see them at the Courthouse, the polling station, and the DMV.  Then there are those in public service that you don't see.
 
 Were one to stumble upon the ward that is not, no-one would ever know.  It is only a wilderness.  An imperceptible void of chaos, long forgotten, with nothing but an odd chill to mark its borders.  If a conspiracy theory were to define it, the ward that is not might be called a hairline fracture in the dimensional confluence of the road.  But no-one will ever propose such an hypothesis.  They may even be alarmed to consider what sort of weapon or doomsday device could cause such a fracture.  But no such weapon has ever existed.

 When asked about his race or origin, one who is not will look puzzled and simply respond, "I am of the city and live to serve it.". Typically only newcomers would inquire as such; it is considered impolite.


Near human alien [half elf traits (maybe half drow, half kenku) with partial Kenku hybrid personality traits].

 Appears humanlike with black irridescant feathers for hair in normal human proportion.  Ashen gray to jet black skin, some rare deep purple and gunmetal skin tones.
Personality similar to Kenku, but social disfunctions are due to overcompensation.  Lawful tendancies.

 Those who are not have survived in the city by their talent for public service.  Charisma bonus doesn't necessarily mean they aren't awkward or anxious.  They have an affected formality about them that can be comforting in official matters, but stands out in other environments.

Those who are not don't oppose marriage to other races, but often flock together because of their shared appreciation for public service.  Those who are not that mate with those who are typically dote on their mates with the same dedicated service and can become less devoted to the city.  This has almost resulted in a separate culture.



Mime employs a combination of bio-electrical interface application downloading, biochemical synoptic signal boosting, and natural training to improve reflexes, muscle memory, and calculated response.  He is faster, more alert, and more accurate than normal people.  The physical benefits of his spells, feats, and magic items are re-skinned as such.  Wired reflexes, smartlinks, and other invasive cyberware are the clunky and barbaric discount throwback versions of Mime's "augmented response training," or ART.
Mime does not speak much; hence his handle. He will sometimes communicate with his limited psionic projection capability (message cantrip). This is an innate kenku trait that can be molded into true precognitive telepathy and telekinesis, (mage hand). Most kenku do not progress much past cantrip level.
Mime's body language is very disciplined as is his ability to read between the lines, deducing what is communicated by what is not said.

great concept!

I hadn't considered a 'drifter' race, that's a brilliant contribution

Ph

wow, big changes. I think he was a ranger last time I checked?

Chris wrote:wow, big changes.  I think he was a ranger last time I checked?  

Yeah, still experimenting. Trying to make a true ranger of the city. Can his favoured enemy just be organized crime? He will fulfill ranger and rogue responsibilities. Most of his magic is skill and luck.

Did you check out Xanathar's guide? There's some sweet rogue subclasses, including scout and mastermind.

sure, favored enemy "organized crime" is fine. that's both more and less expansive than 1 group of monsters, so it seems fair and fitting to the character. the bonus language would be Thieves Cant

I guess the only other thing might be to trade disguise kit for land vehicles. Besides that, Mime is ready.

contacts look good

can you c\p or give me book\page #s for the original stats on

Pistol of Warning

bonded (teleport thing)


The rest looks fine, I am just not familiar with those two and its hard to find after things have been re-skinned.

so the 3 magic items are:

cloak of displacement (rare)
pistol of warning (uncommon)
pistol +1 bonded (uncommon)

is that right?

weapon of warning in the DMG

The weapon bond is an eldritch knight class feature.

The rest is correct.
2 require attunement.
I took 3 potions and 5 scrolls. They are hyposprays, chemicals, or apps.

perfect, thanks!

that all looks fine, no problem.

very nice build, as usual, and a good crunch\concept balance

Pistol of warning
+1 pistol

are those silenced firearms or laser pistols?



NEVERMIND - I just saw the *

How do "handler" and Mime communicate?

It occurs to me that I spaced out on the obvious language for shadow run while having d&d on the brain. Would it make sense to retain Japanese for Auran on this character?

up to you

Common = city speak

this is just a specialized local that uses only japanese.  if Mime deals heavily with the Yakuza, then japanese might make sense.  or the chinese triad or the chromites or the asurans.....

its mostly just a flavor thing. the party is outside their known elements and deep in a very small sub-culture of Night City = the yakuza-controlled underworld of sex and drugs trafficking. they may never be here again or they might decide they like it
