Hello everyone.

I've recently been meaning to make a new monk character, partly because I have a fairly good background planned out for one, and partly because my previous monk, Sain, only ever communicated in the form of glares (Which, while sometimes amusing, ment that he was pretty dull RP wise). So, I decided to make my new monk, and, struck by sudden inspiration, decided to make him a Harper also. (This being a class/faction I've never tried).

I then decided to look up some info on Harpers, found this, and became thouroughly confused.

So, the Questions.

Can I make a Harper (Class) without having anything to do with the faction?
Do I need to join the faction in Amia? Or can it be part of the backstory?
Is there any IC Amia-specific differances for Harpers?
Does the Harper Craft Item ability still use exp? Or is Amia different?

Thanks in advance.

You don't need HS to join the faction, and you can take the HS class without joining the faction as well. No requirements there if I recall right.

Craft HS Item does cost money, no XP. Some of the items are neat, but those 5 levels are very well spent elsewhere unless you take lasting inspiration on a Bard/HS.

I personally would refrain from being a Harper in the backstory, since being part of official Faerunian organizations needs to be requested, if I am correct.

Ahaha, awesome. Thats all I really needed to know. Thanks!

And they're really really super secret so if you tell anyone you're a harper you might get B-dup by some randoms while strolling through Amia Forest one day.

Yes
You can be a 'Harper' but no faction on Amia just lets you say you're a member without being in their faction.
The class has some changes, over on the sidebar, which for once is actually correct.
No XP use.



Nope, that's only ofr things like "I am Lord Azoun's personal bodguard!" and etc
