Did germaine really make it through college? He seems like the sort that would run up a bunch of gambling debts or something then just run off. That was what happened to a lot of people at, say, Oxford during the middle ages.

Gambling debts make the assumption that he'd lose. Germain seems like the kind of guy who'd kill at poker. -Slitherrr

He did manage to lose by theft probably his single most important possession to someone he never even remotely trusted. He's probably a great bluffer, but who knows what his betting strategy is like? I think he overthinks things and is really too cautious and risk-averse to really make a killing. I just can't imagine him going through multiple years of structured education at a medieval-type university, especially as he seems to chafe under authority. -gm

Also - are you making our next game?

I'm kind of under the impression that Germain was a criminal more as an act of rebellion than anything. That makes a lot of sense given how easily he has adapted to life as a crime fighter. He's also not been much of a risk-taker, and might not have been ever.

In any case, he is a very well-rounded sort of intelligent with great social skills, a natural investigator/researcher, and probably would have had an easy time with university. I imagine him finishing his classes without having to do much work, and having some time to be a degenerate on the side. Probably not top of his class or anything, but of the party he is the best or second-best in every intelligence-based skill. --Msallen

Eh, that'd also explain the bardic lore stuff and even minor spellcasting that come with level(s) of bard.
