Appearance: Piffany is a plump, redheaded cleric of diminutive stature, dressed in a burnt-orange robe and tan tunic. She carries a staff with a gold adornment on its top. Her face is dominated by large, thick-lensed glasses.
Magic Items: Staff of harmony. This clerical artifact was made to aid the forces of good and fight naughtiness. it detects strong evil presences automatically if an evil creature of 5 Hit Dice or more comes within 30 feet. Moreover, it allows the wielder to command (as the spell) three times per day. As a weapon, it acts as a mace +3 against naughty creatures. In the hands of a lawful good cleric, it can be "charged' with five spells from the cleric's deity. The spells can be of two levels above the cleric's experience and are placed in the staff when the cleric meditates on her personal spells. It smells faintly of bubble gum.
Duct tape of healing. This is the mightiest mender of broken bodies the world has ever known. It can re-attach limbs and heads, revive the recently dead, and repair those who have been cut, bruised, mangled, squished, perforated, eaten, incinerated, or used to stop the gears of large machines. Anyone whose wounds or remains are wrapped in this stuff is cured of what ails 'em in 1 day. An entire roll of tape can cover a whole body. Piffany always has 4-6 rolls at any given time.
Piffany also wears leather armor +5.
Background: Piffany is the epitome of goodness, sweetness, and light. Her birth was said to be heralded by rainbows, songbirds singing in three-part harmony, and her entire village having a 'nice day." She was given to her clerical order by her parents, who reportedly were sleep-deprived due to Piffany's 300-watt halo of purity keeping them (and most surrounding farm animals) awake at night.
Piffany excelled at the clerical art of healing, especially when using a product of her temple: duct tape. This came in handy when she sought to bring light to the world via adventuring. She picked her companions carefully, choosing those who could most use her moral guidance. She finds that the one who needs her more frequently, however, is her party's henchman, Nodwick. Inexplicably, he always seems to wind up getting hurt in traps, caught in the jaws of monsters, and hurled into the lairs of dragons.
Her crusade for the forces of nice has been a long and hard one, but mostly for Artax and Yeagar, who find little problem with resorting to underhanded tactics of questionable morality. She hasn't given up on convincing them to turn from their semi-wicked ways.
Roleplaying Notes: Piffany would see the bright side to midnight in a coal chute. She has more "pip" in her than a wagon load of greeting cards. Due to her unfathomable depths of pithiness, her effective Charisma is treated as an 18, especially when she is attempting to motivate others. Though she adheres to her alignment with gusto, she is easily distracted by her erstwhile companions while they toss Nodwick into the jaws of peril. Any animosity toward Piffany should be considered an evil act. An attempt to harm her person is an act of fiendishness on a par with selling illegal substances to nuns while pulling the wings off flies as you pen the script for Wing Commander II.
