And I need some ideas for stuff to throw at them eventually. 1st one is a Lyrandar Half elf bard. He's got a nemesis within the house. And they have come to blows before. They will do anything to hurt each other except killing. I figured that 2nd is a Khalashtar sorcerer with the dream bloodline (pathfinder). I figured I would make him the only dreaming Kalashtar and give him potential prophetic dreams. Just throw a bunch of wierd dreams at him and then create situations that were simmilar. 3rd Is a Human Monk from Cyre with memmory loss, I have thought about tieing her with the Mourning. In my game Cyre has turned into a Realm of Dread, you know the whole Ravenloft thing. Ideas connected to this would be good. 4th we have A gnome rouge from Zilargo. His family was scammed by a dwarf claiming to be Khundarak, so he does not trust the bank. And he had to steal to finish school. 5th player is a Human barbarian from Darguun. He's a bit old and used to fight in the war etc etc. But due to a complicated past settled in Darguun, and then he had to leave that country as well, due to some unfortunate happening. Now if any of you have any ideas for stuff to throw at theese players please do. Epsecially the final three.
