Tzivad the Cat Rider, Level 1

 This is a new take on a character that I stated here a while ago as an Alchemist/Skald/Oenopion Researcher. I tried to make him more streamlined and less MAD. He’s still a merry fellow loving a drink, and still can make and imbibe his own potions and throw alchemical bombs, but I tried to save the simplest aspects of his personage. Do you like it more this way or the other?
