History:

Saxous was raised as Rocher, a child kidnapped by goblins and raised in a cave. He was traumatized and scarred, but rescued by a questing knight of Flambeaux, who recognized his gift and brought him back to his covenant. A more ambitious and less questing Flambeau took the small child as an apprentice, helping train him and overcome many of his mental and physical troubles.

As he comes through his Gauntlet, Saxous is trained to hunt low-might monsters for his Covenant to gather vis.  His preferred method is the sword, with some backing and support from spells. Usually, this involves invisibility and stealth until he can engage in combat, especially with his smaller size. Once he has a wound on a beast, he can use the increased penetration from blood on his sword to force through other spells.

Though he does not often interact with mortals or magi, when he does, he tries to wear voluminous robes and a hooded cloak.  Even if he no longer needs the gauzy blindfold for his eyes, having acclimated better to light during his apprenticeship, he still wears it often enough.  He always carries his lucky coin, which was a gift to him when he was an apprentice - even if it no longer carries magic.  When he does have to communicate with people, he uses Phantasm of the Talking Head cast inside his own hood, with a surprisingly deep voice for his size.

Guise of Mighty Strength (Rego Imaginem [Muto] 15)

R: Pers, D: Sun, T:Ind

This surprisingly complex illusion makes the caster's body appear to be notably larger.  It does not hide or transform them, but instead makes them look taller, broader, and bolder. In addition to changing appearance, it makes the user's voice come from the correct location, and provides the sensation of contact from incidental touches. The Muto requisite allows the caster's form to stretch to the full height of being up to one size larger. Saxous uses this spell to make people stop treating him like a fragile, small thing. He finds it much more convenient than actually casting spells to increase his size, though it took practice to interact properly with 'touches' to the illusion instead of himself. 

(Base 2, +2 Sun, +2 additional senses, +1 changing image, requisite free)

Design Note:  I was torn between Muto Imaginem (rego req) or Rego Imaginem (Muto req), but I settled on this version because the higher base. Either way, the requisite doesn't add much, just making the spell seem a bit cleaner.

Bow of Phantom Darts (Magic Item)

Perdo Imaginem 22

This short bow is enchanted to turn any arrows it fires to be invisible, unfelt, and unheard. Often this provides miminal bonus to actually hitting your target, due to the speed of flight, though it can get around some unique defenses such as Deflect the Wooden Shaft. More importantly to Saxous, it means that when an enemy is hit, they may feel a stab of pain, but cannot tell where the arrow came from.  The effect of the phantom arrow ends the round after it was fired. This Lesser Enchanted device was made using the Shape bonus for +4 wood(dead) affecting dead wood, and strikes with +10 penetration.

(Base 5, +1 Touch, +1 moving image, 3 times/day)

Beast Crippling Arrows

PeAn 30

These charged arrows are enchanted to only activate once, apon striking their target. When they hit, they cause a medium wound on the target, and the wound spurt out blood or ichor for the rest of the day, making it easy to track or to gather Arcane Connection. This counts as a PeAn 25 effect with 10 penetration.

(Base 10, +2 Sun, +1 Touch, +penetration)

Design Notes:

A series of successes has left Saxous more bold, and his Brave personality has increased by 1.  He finds himself often travelling far to hunt down creatures, but runs into trouble when trading vis at tribunals. I've opted to not gear him towards giant-slaying this series, because I liked these other ideas.

Saxous experimented on his enchanted bow, but had no strange results.
