He's a magic man!

Art by  tkd_dbull of Vinden Willowbank, my Pathfinder sorcerer. before anyone complains about it being FUR Affinity, he has more than enough to pass for a bear.

His initial vital stats:
Strength: 16 (Yes, he's rather strong)
Dexterity: 14 (He's more flexible than he looks)
Constitution: 16 (Very beefy)
Intelligence: 18 (Brains AND brawn)
Wisdom: 14 (Not bad for an arcane caster)
Charisma: 13 (He leaves quite the impression)

Vinden comes from a long line of wizards, unraveling the secrets of the cosmos is kind of the family business. Of course, with so many generations wielding eldritch energy it was inevitable that it would eventually come to rest in their blood.

Vinden has been able to manipulate magic since adolescence. At first his parents thought he was a prodigy, but the truth was realized when it became apparent that Vinden could no readily read a spellbook than a pig could play the flute. Sorcerers being considered lower-class than wizards, it was decided to keep his skills a secret from the rest of the family.

Such a situation couldn't endure forever, and his secret was eventually leaked. Disowned by the rest of his clan, Vinden took to the life of an adventurer. Raised under the stigma that sorcerers were undesirables, Vinden hides his true nature if he can. He passes himself off as a ranger if he doesn't need to break out his spells. When casting is called for, he masquerades as a wizard, going so far as to carry a decoy spellbook (filled with off-color limericks and sketches) and a component pouch (a great place to stash a sandwich or bottle of ale).

With magic pulsing in his blood, Vinden favors spells from the evocation and transmutation schools. he loves to shapeshift and pass for members of other races, and it helps with his more amorous pursuits. When battle calls, his fists crackle with eldritch doom, though he prefers disabling foes to outright incinerating them.

Also, he hates snakes. With a passion.
