What class (core or prestige) does Ar stand for here? Archer? Archivist? AgRiculturalist?

I believe it is an Aristocrat. But why his abilities are so low ( Cha 10, Con 13, Dex 11, Int 11, Str 12, Wis 10 ) ????

If it is an aristocrat, then he would probabaly get the NPC array, which is 10,10,10,11,11,11. In which case this guy is a little above the mark.

Sorry Ken, I disagree with you here and agree with cccpxepoj. The Danigs are a Royal Family and have been since before Deismaar, with a Great bloodline, no less. Given how talented he should be, and looking at this brother Erik (abilities Str 15, Dex 12, Con 16, Int 18, Wis 14, Cha 15), Ludwig should have better stats!

Ari is Aristocrat. Class abbreviations should be three letters.

Considering that Erik Danig is one of the most powerful men in all of Danigau, I seriously doubt that his brother is only on the "weak NPC" stat array.

[AndrewTall]

That depends on whether you want him as a rival, or clearly inferior disaffected patsy really. He wasn't one of mine, but as the repeatedly failing leader who still gets put in a powerful position because he is the count's brother, he has his uses.

[Thelandrin]

Well, I altered his profile to bring it more in line with being a great-blooded individual. He may be a failure diplomatically, but he's a clear and calculated military leader, as well as being competent enough at martial prowess to make his brother envious.

[kgauck]

I agree with Andrew. There is a place for the empty suit. While regents should always be PC classes, the occasional sibling who is a disappointment seems quite proper.

[Sorontar]

Okay, I have made his wife's class Aristocrat then.

Just a general remark on the Danig family. Since the ruler of Danigau has to be strong in wizardry, shouldn't at least another member of the family pursue a wizard's path, even if of more humble skill than Erik?

[AndrewTall]

The question soon becomes 'how many family members should there be' - it all gets a bit unwieldy. Adele Danig is briefly mentioned in the Fort Warden paragraph but not otherwise described, various other aunts, etc should exist although they are probably married off and now have other family names.

In general the family mentioned tend to be regent + spouse + heir + black sheep/contrary with other members only noted in passing if at all.
