I Am A: Lawful Good Human Cleric (4th Level)


Ability Scores:

Strength-10

Dexterity-10

Constitution-12

Intelligence-13

Wisdom-12

Charisma-12


Alignment:
Lawful Good A lawful good character acts as a good person is expected or required to act. He combines a commitment to oppose evil with the discipline to fight relentlessly. He tells the truth, keeps his word, helps those in need, and speaks out against injustice. A lawful good character hates to see the guilty go unpunished. Lawful good is the best alignment you can be because it combines honor and compassion. However, lawful good can be a dangerous alignment when it restricts freedom and criminalizes self-interest.


Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.


Class:
Clerics act as intermediaries between the earthly and the divine (or infernal) worlds. A good cleric helps those in need, while an evil cleric seeks to spread his patron's vision of evil across the world. All clerics can heal wounds and bring people back from the brink of death, and powerful clerics can even raise the dead. Likewise, all clerics have authority over undead creatures, and they can turn away or even destroy these creatures. Clerics are trained in the use of simple weapons, and can use all forms of armor and shields without penalty, since armor does not interfere with the casting of divine spells. In addition to his normal complement of spells, every cleric chooses to focus on two of his deity's domains. These domains grants the cleric special powers, and give him access to spells that he might otherwise never learn. A cleric's Wisdom score should be high, since this determines the maximum spell level that he can cast.

Would you be interested in a survey class about the Galician/Portuguese trovador tradition? (Catigas de Amor y Amigo)

How much of this class should be recorded examples?

Should there be time to sing through a few of the songs together?

How much should focus on the poetry forms/language?

How much do you already know about the Cantigas de Amor?

So now begins the hunt for fabric. I'm hoping to do a good deal of this out of materials I have at home, and keep the main expense limited to the fabric for the gown itself.

I happily still have quite a bit of good quality linen at my house. Most of it is medium weight, however, which I'm fine with for the chemise and coat, but I will need a very light weight linen or silk for the partlet. I'll be watching for sales on that in the future.

I also happily have a good amount of this green fabric with gold stripes, which I think will work perfectly for the sleeves. Yay fabric stash!



So, for the gown itself: I still haven't found what I'm looking for. Joann's used to have this cotton woven dot stuff, I used it for a Turkish robe, and I can't find it now.

Something like this below, a "figured" taffeta that is pure silk would be pretty. But I know the gown in the image probably isn't silk just because of the way the color is uniform on the gown.



So then there are the following upholstery type ones, which are the best color, but not bad either. I would lean more toward the pinkish one (3rd one), if only because its more than half cotton, not completely polyester. The the first one looks fuzzy. :)

My last attempt at reproducing a whole look from a portrait was disappointing. I rushed myself and compromised and picked far too ambitious of a project. The end result was good, I still wear it and proudly, but it was not what I had envisioned.

So I thought I would pick something a little more attainable, something that I would give myself permission to take time over, and really make it what I would like to make it. And actually document it this time. Hah!

So in looking though my favorite resource (Anderson's Hispanic Costume 1480-1530) I decided on the portrait below. Its a style of clothing I know I like and look good in, does not look like it would involve learning a new technique, uses fabrics I think I could find reasonable look alikes for on eBay or at JoMar, and I just all around think it's cool. So without further ado, here is the inspiration:
