| #1iserithJul 09, 2014 8:09:02 | I'd like to use this thread to create a depot for pre-generated D&D 5e characters so that DMs and players have a plethora of characters to grab and play as they need it. It's always handy to have extra characters on file for when an unexpected friend shows up to play, for conventions, or for when an existing PC buys the farm and you want to keep the player in the game.
Update 12/04/14: This page has been linked to the D&D Adventurers League Organizers site. Please doublecheck these characters to make sure they are legal for organized play. Indicate in your post if they are AL-legal or not.

PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS Appearance: I have rich, copper-colored skin, and hazel eyes. I wear my black hair in a mass of thin braids that spill over my shoulders to the middle of my back. I bear a Thayan slave brand tattooed across my forehead. Traits: I always have a plan for what to do when things go wrong. I am incredibly slow to trust; those who seem the fairest often have the most to hide. Ideals: Freedom: Chains are meant to be broken, as are those who would forge them. (Chaotic) Bond: Secreted within the locket that I wear around my neck, I bear a seedling of Fanhadon, the Great Tree from which my people took their name. I will not rest until I have found a place to plant the seedling so that my tribe can be born anew. I owe it to my ancestors. I will trust in my dream visions to guide the way. Flaw: I am wanted in Thay for killing the nephew of a tharchion. There is a considerable bounty on my head.
BACK STORY Nocking a black-hafted arrow and drawing it back against his cheek, he threaded his way through the trees with practiced grace, a silent apparition, his senses primed to detect the slightest movement or sound. The faintest echo of a snapping twig brought him up short, pausing where the shadows pooled in the lee of an ancient oak, his brow furrowed in concentration, his upturned, hazel eyes drinking in the forested landscape, scanning the brush for the source of the sound. And then, he spotted it— the flash of a russet haunch flickering through the boles of the trees some one hundred paces to his left. With the suddenness of a saber cat, he exploded into motion, his green cloak swirling as he pivoted, loosing his shaft with the unerring eye of a huntsman born. As far as I know, I am the last surviving member of my tribe. We called ourselves the Fanhaen, and we were a peaceful folk, content to practice our woodcraft far from the prying eyes of men, living as one with the natural order of things deep within the heart of the Yuirwood. Secreted within the locket that I wear around my neck, I bear a seedling of Fanhadon, the Great Tree from which we took our name. The same tree that had sheltered us and given us life from time immemorial, burned to ash in a single night of horrors that will live on in my nightmares for as long as I walk the earth. It began as a night like any other. The Thayan war party crept up on us while we slept, slipping past our sentries undetected with the aid of their hell-spawned magic. Like butchers, they set about their work, and the air was soon filled with the screams of the dying. They slaughtered young and old alike, sparing a scant few of the children for transport to the Thayan slave pens. My older sister, Shaori, and I were among these few survivors. Our captors treated us worse than dogs, but I vowed to remain strong for the sake of my sister, for she had been born without the gift of sight and I had always served as her eyes. The man who bought us was a highborn devil named Yakovel, third in line to the Tharchion of Priador. His first act as our master was to press my gentle sister into service as a common harlot. I myself was inducted into a brutal training program engineered to produce highly skilled infiltrators and assassins. Many of the boys who began the training with me did not survive. I persevered for no other reason than that my sister depended on me. In the years that followed, I performed unspeakable acts in the name of our master. I had numerous opportunities to escape, but I would not leave Shaori behind. Perhaps she sensed that she was holding me back, or perhaps she finally lost the will to live. Whatever the case, I stole into Shaori’s chambers one morning only to find her corpse cooling in the sun, an empty bottle of hemlock clutched in one hand, and this locket in the other. The rest of that day is a blur to me… Waiting amidst the gardenias for my master to appear on his nightly stroll… Slipping past the body guards to bury my dagger in his chest… Hurtling over the wall and disappearing into the shadowy byways of the market district before the general hue and cry could be raised. I should have felt anger, elation, or crushing despair. Instead, I felt only emptiness. I managed to steal aboard a trading vessel that was bound for Sembia the next day. That night, as I sank into an exhausted trance amidst the crates and barrels littering the ship’s hold, I experienced the first of my dream visions. Shaori appeared to me, garbed in the ceremonial gear and body paint of a Fanhaen warrior priestess. She told me of the seedling secreted in the locket, and implored me to journey west that I might seek out a glade hidden from the prying eyes of men in which to plant the seed and reconstitute our tribe. She promised to appear to me again with further guidance when the time was right. I made my way westward to Neverwinter, where I plied my trade as a freelance thief for a time before receiving an offer from a well-meaning old stump named Gundren Rockseeker. He had caught me with my hand in his pocket, but instead of involving the local authorities, he offered me a chance at “rehabilitation”. Somewhat amused, and lacking any brighter prospects at the time, I consented to his offer. |

BACKSTORY Tark Stonefire served in a Dwarven Army for many years; initially he was an Infantryman, but he later began to learn the art of magic without a mentor and thus assumed a more artillery role. However, he became more and more arrogant as he learned to bend the forces of the cosmos to his will, and it lead to his greatest mistake. During one particularly fierce battle, Tark cast a Sleep spell which was intended to knock down a group of enemies for the infantry to mop up. However, due to not paying attention, Tark ended up casting the spell on a group of his own soldiers, who were set upon by an orcish squad that cut them to pieces. The battle was eventually won and the mishap was blamed on an orcish shaman who had been participating in the battle. However, Tark couldn't live with the guilt and resigned. He stopped studying magic for many years, but eventually he couldn't stay away. Tark eventually decided to take a long trip to try and understand magic itself. He resolved, however, to never let his hubris get any other comrade killed ever again. |

They drove off the tax men and the truncheons and Dan had the village priest send the Duke a letter. "You'll get what's due when it's due. Or come yourself and ask nicely for more."
Since then, Dan's been a local hero, standing up to bullies and always lending a hand. He hunted, worked, explored, and was well-regarded until, at 20, he up and left. As it happens, he asked his childhood sweetheart to marry him, but she turned him down, to care for her ailing parents. Dan, though, didn't wait for an explanation; he left town right then.

Generous by nature, Handsome Dan has a reputation for appearing at need with help or money. He's seen as a crafty outdoorsman, with a smile that could charm an angry bear, and a silver tongue that could woo the honey from a hive. And there are many local tall tales of stories just like that. |

Back Story Leugren was born into a clan of dwarves with a long and proud tradition of military service. He quickly distinguished himself as a member of the Iron Legion, until the day that he overslept after a drunken bender and his entire unit was wiped out.

Instead, Leugren was quietly allowed to resign and told in no uncertain terms that he should never show his face again. |

BACKSTORY Vadania Galanodel has spent most of her life as a priestess of Corellon Latharien, the greatest of the elven gods. While many of Corellon's clergy went beyond elven lands in his service, Vadania was content to spend her days as a scribe in Myth Drannor, researching in the great libraries dedicated to the faith. One day, however, she came across several writings that dated back to the Time of Troubles, when the gods walked upon the Forgotten Realms. These writings raised several questions about the nature of the Gods, and so she talked about what she had found with Thamior Amakiir, a senior member of the faith. Thamior set out from Myth Drannor soon after. For decades, Vadania recieved the occasional letter from him. His final letter talked about a discovery he had made in relation to the texts that Vadania had discovered, and he promised to write again soon. Afterwards, no more letters came. Vadania waited a year before deciding that another letter would likely not be coming. The only way to discover what had happened to Thamior, and what those texts she had unearther actually meant, was to travel across the world herself. So Vadania took up sword, sheild, and a symbol of Corellon, before venturing forth. |

| #11LeugrenJul 15, 2014 16:24:39 | Since I can't really play for a while, I just keep dreaming up new characters:
Jagan Makarius1st-level Lightfoot Halfling Wizard
TRAITS Background - Sage Feature: Researcher Specialty: Wizard’s apprentice
SKILLS Arcana +4, Investigation+4, History +4, Stealth +5
ACTIONS
A wand, a spell book, a scholar’s pack, an explorer’s pack, a bottle of black ink, a quill, a small knife, a charcoal rubbing from the Lost Shard of the Covenant Stone containing an indecipherable fragment of the Seventh Secret of the Earth, a set of common clothes, and a belt pouch.
SPELLS Cantrips: Fire Bolt, Mage Hand, Minor Illusion 1st-level: Burning Hands, Detect Magic, Mage Armor, Magic Missile, Shield, Sleep
PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS Traits: “I am curious about everything; I approach each new discovery with genuine exuberance and a childlike sense of wonder” “In conversations, I leap slapdash from topic to topic in a way that leaves other people confounded.” “I tend to see the best in others.” Ideal: Charity - “I always try to help those in need, no matter what the personal cost.” Bond: “I have a charcoal rubbing that holds a clue to some ancient secrets which must not fall into the wrong hands.” Flaw: “I lack a personal filter; I often ask questions that others would consider rude, though I am entirely oblivious to their discomfort (e.g. Are you pregnant? Is that a real beard? Can I pull on it? You must get all sorts of food stuck in it!)”.
BACK STORY Show As an infant, Jagan was discovered in the wreckage of a covered wagon by a kindly old hedge wizard, a scholar of ancient dwarven lore named Nyphin Makarius. Scanning the area, Nyphin could detect no signs of any other survivors, though he did spy a large mound of overturned earth nearby, hinting that perhaps an ankheg had assaulted the wagon, devouring the other members of Jagan’s family. Taking pity on the foundling, Nyphin carried him back to his tower set amidst the rolling hills which overlooked the Triboar Trail. In the years that followed, Nyphin took Jagan on as his apprentice, teaching him magecraft and tutoring him in all aspects of dwarven lore.
One day in late summer, Jagan’s master returned from one of his frequent trips to Neverwinter jabbering excitedly about a charcoal rubbing that he had procured from a purveyor of ancient texts. The old wizard seemed convinced that it might be a rubbing taken from an ancient artifact known as the Lost Shard of the Covenant Stone.
According to legend, when Moradin first created the dwarves, he bequeathed unto them a marvelous stone as a token of the sacred covenant that he held with the dwarven people. Inscribed upon this stone were the Seven Secrets of Mastery Over the Earth, which Moradin conferred upon the dwarven ancestors on condition that they were never to be shared with the lesser races of Toril. Armed with these secrets, the dwarves wrought fabulous wonders and founded great kingdoms, inaugurating a golden age unrivaled throughout dwarven history. This age of glory came to an abrupt end when a dwarven king named Duergon, who considered himself above the ancient laws of the ancestors, decided to barter the First Secret of the Earth, the Secret of Metalcraft, to the elves. In punishment for this transgression, Moradin banished Duergon and all of his descendants to a deep dark fissure set in the very bowels of the earth. He also breathed forth a mighty blast of heavenly fire which smote the Covenant Stone where it stood, scattering its shards to all the corners of creation, and erasing the memory of its secrets from the minds of all dwarves.
Thus began the darkest period in the history of the dwarves. During this time, they found themselves repeatedly besieged by orcs or enslaved by dragons and giants, their great cities falling one by one until they were reduced to little more than beasts, clinging desperately to the hope that they could somehow reclaim the knowledge that they had lost by recovering the lost shards of the Covenant Stone. As Moradin’s rage cooled with the passage of time, their efforts proved fruitful. After a search that spanned many millennia, all but one of the shards were recovered by the dwarves, and much of the old knowledge was restored. Of the last shard, the one containing the seventh and greatest Secret of Mastery Over the Earth, no trace or token could be found until a certain hedge wizard named Nyphin Makarius happened upon a charcoal rubbing during his travels which seemed to bear a fragment of the preamble to the fabled Seventh Secret.
Over the months that followed, Nyphin’s tower was a whirlwind of activity, as the wizard strove feverishly to authenticate the rubbing and establish its provenance. Then one night, while Jagan was gazing out the window of his master’s solarium, he spied a slender figure jogging hurriedly up the trail. He immediately recognized the approaching figure as an elf. As Jagan looked on, Nyphin strode forth from the tower gate to greet the elf. A brief conversation ensued, after which Jagan saw the wizard shake hands with the elf before turning and heading back towards the tower. A moment later, the door to Jagan’s room burst open and Nyphin strode in, a worried expression on his face which he did his best to conceal. “That was a messenger from an old friend. Pack your things. I need you to travel to Neverwinter for me.”
Infected with his master’s urgency, the next thing Jagan knew he was racing down the trail with all of his gear, a letter of introduction poking out of the folds of his robes, and a sealed scroll case jouncing up and down in his satchel. He had not traveled more than a few miles when curiosity got the better of him, so he paused to examine the contents of the scroll case which his master had entrusted into his care. He was astonished to discover that the case contained his master’s precious charcoal rubbing. Looking back over his shoulder in the direction of the tower with a confused frown, he Immediately spied a tall plume of black smoke. Fearing for his master’s life, he dropped his gear in a heap and dashed back up the trail as fast as his legs could carry him. He rounded the final bend only to see his worst fears realized. The tower was a pillar of flame and smoke, awash in tongues of ebony fire that exuded a cold chill, consuming everything that it came into contact with. As he took in the scene, Jagan spotted his master’s corpse staked out before the main entrance like a sacrificial offering. Of those who had perpetrated these acts, there was no sign. Heartbroken but too afraid to linger, Jagan set off westward down the trail again, collecting his gear and continuing on towards Neverwinter as his master had bidden. |

Flaw:
I had been a member of a thieves' guild since I was little. However, when a high-end job I took went sour, the ringleader sold me out, and I was forced to go into hiding. I used my knack for thievery to make money, but I was always on the run from my old guildmaster, who was determined to catch me and restore his reputation as a man not to be crossed. Eventually, I was caught breaking into an elf noble's mansion, but he chose to spare my life in exchange for a debt. For the past three years, I have worked for Laucian Liadon, robbing tombs and exploring ruins in search of a magic item he is determined to find. I have yet to find it, but Laucian thinks he may have a lead. However, I will need backup if I am to succeed in this mission, and first I will need to prove myself trustworthy to these new allies.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I listed the ranged handaxe attacks as using the Archery feature as written. If your group interprets it as applying to ranged attacks, not ranged weapons, the stats would be:
Ranged Attacks–Handaxe/Handaxe: +3/+3 to hit (range 20/60; one creature). Hit: 1d6-1/1d6-1 slashing damage. |

He found his opportunity a handful of months ago and made his escape - leaving behind the corpses of many of his now-former owner's friends and employees in the process - and fled the country.
He has decided that, as he will need to stay on the move to elude his former owner, he will take to the life of an adventuring hero and do some good with whatever time he has left in his life. |

She is petite woman with long brown hair and green eyes and she is usually clad in chainmail and carry a large iron shield emblazoned with Mishakal's symbol painted in red. Magdarosa was born with deafness and has since developped an acute sense of sight and is particularly good at reading on lips and understand speech well if she can see the interlocutor from short distance. She speaks in loud gibberish that only those accustomed to her can understand well enought though, so she rarely speaks unless necessary. That didn't prevent Magdarosa from adventuring in the world and try to heal and protect those in need wherever she goes. She is a priestess of Mishakal, godess of healing and a champion of good. |

BACKSTORY Sarduuk Magavario was born into a world of cut-throat politics within the desert city of Al’Akram, the son of a powerful tiefling satrap who took great pleasure in subjecting him to the cruelest humiliations and punishments. Pushed to the brink, Sarduuk began to cultivate his natural arcane gifts in the hopes that these would provide him with the tools he needed in order to exact his revenge. He proved to be a prodigy, which made him overconfident-- drunk on his newfound power, he moved against his father prematurely. The failed coup turned Sarduuk into a fugitive. He fled to the Savage North along with his trusty valet, Iorgo, a gnarled old root of a gnome with mismatched eyes who speaks heavily accented Common, and who refers to his master as "the Magavario" as in "You must not disturb the Magavario! A sorcerer of his pre-eminent stature must spend many hours each day in silent contemplation of the mysteries!". |

(Neutral) Bond: "I protect those who cannot protect themselves." Flaw: "I have a weakness for the vices of the city, especially hard drink."
Back Story When the impoverished desert pueblo of Tierra Mierda lost all of its chickens to a mysterious and frightening predator, Paco Mortillo-Grande - drunker than a zorrillo - donned his signature plaid luchador's mask for the first time. He stood alone against the horrible El Chupapollo, a ravenous beast, all tooth and claw. After an epic, drawn-out battle that drew a throng of hundreds to watch, Paco twisted its head clean off and then danced the flamenco with its still-thrashing body - a move he still does to this day when he lands the killing blow.
In his later years and now calling himself Mucho Cerveza, he brings his fame and skills to bear to help those who need it including Chuck Dagger, who he saved from a corrupt sheriff's noose. Mucho has also previously teamed up with Marshal Heeling to take down a gang of bandits that had taken over a one-horse town. He worships the same ancient pantheon of gods as Vanciana Feyzalez and finds great comfort in confiding in her. |

Irἵtra Vadû Irἵtra [Irr-E-Tra] is tall reaching nearly 6 feet in height, with an athletic body voluptuous curves, with bright red hair and pitch black eyes, as if her pupils were oversized without dicernable iris. Irἵtra was born 16 winters ago in the town of Secomber. Born of unknown father, her mother Claire died while giving birth leaving her covered in blood and orphan the minute she entered Faerun. She was taken in adoption by Count Evlarr Vadû, a petty noble successful in the silk trade on the Sword Coast. Irἵtra had a troubled youth filled with horrible visions and was kept hidden in the manor's basement as Count Vadû started to feel something was wrong with Irἵtra being a disturbed child. She started to have a tail growing by 9, and ominous whispers in alien language would often surround her, first in her head, but soon hearable by anyone who'd listen, apparently coming out of nowhere. She could yell louder than 3 men and make the ground tremors faintly when mad. At other time, flames of candles and lanterns would flicker, dim or brighten at her entrance into a room. Her infernal inheritance was becoming clear to Evlarr, who was starting to think Irἵtra had fiend parentage. When he told her his suspicions at the brinks of her sixteenth birthday, Iriἵra ran away horse-riding with her three servants (Wendy, Irene & Karmina) who raised her and taugh her swordmanship. They fled into the Misty Forest where Irἵtra made camp and stayed as if waiting for something....clad in scale mail and armed with her twin scimitars. Irἵtra expect the strange powers gifted to her to be from a fiend which she hates with burning fire and thinks the whispers, which she came to understand the significance in Infernal, means her father is coming soon for her.... |

Bree Bree [BREE] is a short halfling (3'3") with long brown hair, hazel eyes and a cute little round face despite a large scar runing down her nose and cheek. She was born in the mid 1400's DR in the Purple Hills of Tethyr in a small hidden village not appearing on most maps. Bree became an acolyte of Arvoreen after joining the knightly order called Arvoreen's Marchers, primarily responsible for patrolling the Purple Marshes and doing other special tasks deemed important to the clergy. She has attained the rank of Warder as an Arvoreen's Marshall thus far. Bree recently left her village with sacred texts and an ancient abalaster mask to preserve them from Urdlen, the Crawler Below until she gets more instructions. She has ventured in the northern Sword Coast and often protect unwary travellers or lost mercenaries in need of help. |

Falsetto Jones aka Three-Card Monteaka Jahni Fiddler
1st-level Human Bard
TRAITS Feature: Criminal Contact Criminal Specialty: Confidence Man Proficiency (+2) Spellcasting (Cantrips Known 2, Spells Known 4, Spell Slots 1st - 2) Bardic Inspiration (d6)
SKILLS Deception +5, Investigation +4, Performance +5, Persuasion +5, Stealth +4 ACTIONS EQUIPMENT a shortsword, leather armor, an entertainer's pack, a lute, a haunted glockenspiel (trinket), a crowbar, a set of dark common clothes including a hood, and a belt pounch containing 15 gp.
PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS Traits: I am always calm, no matter what the situation. I never raise my voice or let my emotions control me. Ideals: Charity. I steal from the wealthy so that I can help people in need. (Good) Bond: My ill-gotten gains go to support my family. Flaw: When I see something valuable, I can't think about anything but how to steal it.
BACK STORY There is no aspect of the confidence game that Falsetto Jones hasn't been involved in at one point or another - card tricks, short cons, long cons, selling snake oil, the Dwarvish Prisoner trick, you name it. Jones travels around the West relieving anyone he can of their hard-earned coin. He's particularly fond of winning his way into the hearts of rich noblewomen and making away with their gold and jewels. Chuck Dagger has been his wingman on several scams and he's been caught by Marshal Heeling more than once, but Jones' meticulous pre-planning always manages to get him out of legal binds. After a secret affair with her mother, Jones has stolen something from Vanciana Feyzalez's family (a haunted glockenspiel) and plans to tell her about it soon as it relates to the mysterious forces that destroyed her house. Falsetto Jones talked a drunken Mucho Cerveza into fixing a match with him so they could profit, but Mucho has been stalling on enacting the scheme.
Recently, Falsetto Jones won a fiddling contest, taking Hex Arcana's golden fiddle in the doing. Much to Hex's consternation, he sold it for some magic beans that didn't do what he expected. |

Back Story Selviyel is a member of the Green Guard, an order of rangers who has stood in protections of the elven woods for thousands of years. He entered the organization when he came of age, and though he never was able to master the primal magic that some of his fellows were able to, his accuracy with the bow was unmatched among his peers. He was able to outshoot some of the senior members as well.
As one of the youngest members of the Green Guard, Selviyel was sent to a relatively peaceful part of the forest, in which a small human village had been built. He visited the village occasionally, but preferred to stay in the woods. This changed when an ankheg attacked the village. The beast easily tore through the few guards that the village could muster, and soon it was only Selviyel standing against the beast. It took some ingenuity, but the elf managed to lure the ankheg away from the village and eventually slew the the thing with an arrow through its eye.
Selviyel became curious about why the ankheg attacked the village afterward. He was familiar with many creatures, and ankhegs had never roamed close to the elven woods before. To pursue the answer to this mystery, he joined up with an adventuring group that was in the area. |

| #46Lord_VentnorJul 31, 2014 20:43:06 | A little reflavoring is going on with Igner here, but all of the mechanics can be found in the D&D Basic PDF. And remember, just because you can use Dexterity to attack with Finesse weapons doesn't mean that you have to!
Igner “the Driller” Greyflint
1st-level Mountain Dwarf Rogue
Feature: Criminal Contact Criminal Specialty: Enforcer Proficiency (+2) Tools: Mason’s Tools, Thieves’ Tools, Poisoner’s Kit, Dice Set Saving Throws: Dexterity, Intelligence Expertise: Deception, Intimidation
Athletics (+5), Deception (+3), Insight (+2), Intimidation (+3), Perception (+2), Stealth (+4)
ACTIONS Drill (Rapier), Hand Crossbow, 20 Bolts, Burglar’s Pack, Hide Armor, Two Daggers, Thieves’ Tools, Crowbar, Set of Dark Common Clothes with Hood, Belt Pouch containing 15 gp
PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS Traits: "I am always calm, no matter what the situation. I never raise my voice or let my emotions control me; I would rather make a new ‘friend’ than a new enemy.” Ideal: People. "I'm loyal to my friends, not to any ideals, and everyone else can take a trip down the Styx for all I care." (Neutral) Bond: “I’m guilty of a terrible crime. I hope I can redeem myself for it.” Flaw: “I turn tail and run when things look bad enough.”
BACK STORY Igner Greyflint was born the son of a miner, and spent the first part of his life believing that a miner was all that he would be. Utilizing pickaxes and drills, he continuously searched for new ores to feed the insatiable hunger of dwarves forges. However, one night, he found a vein of gold ore. Before he could report the vein to his supervisor, he was approached by someone who agreed to pay him money if he “forgot” to report the vein.
This began Igner’s association with the Bulette Circle, a criminal organization which engaged in all sorts of unlawful acts. Igner eventually quit his job as a miner to work for the Bulette Circle full-time, mainly as an enforcer. His drill, which was once used to find changes in rocks, was now used to rearrange the insides of anyone who went against the Circle’s wishes. He earned his nickname, "the Driller," during this period of his life.
Eventually, completely by accident, Igner learned the truth. The Bulette Circle was actually a front for Duerger spies to funnel money and slaves into their Underdark Empire. Though he was a criminal, Igner was still a dwarf, and he knew that he could support the organization no longer. While some more heroic dwarves might have tried to fight the problem, Igner instead fled his hometown. He has since become an itinerant wanderer and mercenary, attaching himself to an adventuring band for safety and for the treasure that such bands always stumble across. He always keeps one eye over his shoulder though, waiting for the day when the Bulette Circle finds him again. |

Evandarr Thane Evandarr [e-VAN-dar] was born during the first tenday of 1468 DR in the city of Phlan in the Moonsea. With both parents in the city watch, he was raised following a strict code until he left home to enter paladinhood following the teachings of Helm the watcher. Evandarr is a tall broadshouldered man with blond hair and bright green eyes. He usually wears a great helm which conceals his handsome traits. He is good at drawing, particularly maps, which he likes to inspect, collect, make or reproduce during his downtime. Evandarr was awarded with a star of bravery medal for heroic deeds by Phlan's city officials under the influence of Ontharr Frume after he helped the Order of the Gaunthlet save and rescue 36 citizens from Phlan's old city quarter during the minor earthquake of late 1488 DR that somewhat fairly weak, had caused a number of old buildings to collapse due to their poor state, killing a few people in the ruins and trapping others within. The Gaunthlet soon after offered him to join their rank as a Chevall for his courage during the natural disaster. Evandarr is now regarded as a true heroe by the resident of the old city who'll open him their door for anything if they can help. |

| #60Plaguescarred1Aug 09, 2014 10:48:16 | This is my character in the same campaign as Rhenny, which rolled 4d6 in order (Str, Dex etc..) to create;
Mily Mily [Mill-E] was born in 1469 DR in eastern Amn north of the Tejarn Hills along the shore of lake Esmel in a tiny hidden village not appearing on most maps, where the ancient kingdom of Meiritin founded by halflings in 227 DR used to lay. Mily is a petite innocent looking girl with long curly brown hair, green eyes and a face and hands always covered of dirt. She learned to dual wield short swords with great speed and has astonishing precision with a sling, making her a very dangerous foe in combat when underestimated, even though she doesn't particularly like violence, she values the necessity knowing how to defend herself. But her sharpest weapon remain her silver tongue, being master at fast-talking people with honey words and velvet manners. Mily can easily pass for a human child and often adopt this disguise to go untoticed, taking on the identify of a young noble named Wendy, daughter of a duke, which got her in trouble for it. Mily suffer from attention deficit disorder and get bored quickly if not on the move or entertained as she is a little ball of energy going on all day until she drop of fatigue at night, hence the meaning of her name ''switch'' in halfling. Contrary to many mercenary, she advnture not to amass treasure or fame (thought she is really intrigued by magic) but to seek thrills and excitement. She'll happily pick a wortless multicolored stone disk over a plain looking gemstone worth a thousand more just because it shines, and so Mily is easily distracted (and lurred to) by things flashing. brightly colored or making curious noise! She likes to bypass locks and traps to crack things open or enter forbidden places and just the discovery of a secret passage is enought to fuel her imagination. |

BACKSTORY Kyban never knew his father, and he lost his mother to a pox when he was only eight years old. He grew up a penniless urchin on the mean streets of Waterdeep. He developed a fierce devotion to a fellow orphan, a young elven girl named Tenley who helped teach him the ropes when he was first starting out. When he learned that Tenley had been beaten to death by a local bully named Drex, Kyban decided to seek retribution. He tracked Drex to an abandoned warehouse where a hooded figure named Ghostblade was appraising a number of potential recruits for the Velvet Hand, a secretive order of spies and assassins operating out of Waterdeep. Kyban burst into the warehouse and proceeded to give Drex a sound thrashing, even though the human boy was three years his senior, and about four times his mass. Intrigued by this exhibition, Ghostblade invited Kyban to join the Velvet Hand, promising him a life free from hunger and struggle. For the next five years, Kyban studied the Way of Shadow under Ghostblade’s stern tutelage. His first contract assassination went smoothly, but as he stooped to examine the body, he discovered that the victim had been a kindly old man who had often given Kyban and Tenley shelter when they were young. Kyban was horrified, and he seriously began to question the direction his life had taken. Knowing that Ghostblade would never allow someone to leave the Velvet Hand freely, Kyban used subterfuge to fake his own death and slip out of Waterdeep, making his way to Neverwinter where he hoped to use his talents in an effort to atone for the murder that he had committed. |

BACK STORY Show Thaddeus Brocc Mortimorticio Guiseppe Catgut Kinterzuul, or 'Mort', was born to a clan of rock gnomes who made their home in a major human city. The son of a mortician, Mort grew up around corpses, which made him quite comfortable with the concepts of death and the dead even from an early age.
As a child, Mort practiced taxidermy as a hobby, and would construct tiny clockwork toy mice and frogs, then stitch them into the skins of actual animals, which he found increadibly hilarious for reasons he could never really convey to others. As he grew older, Mort started showing signs of arcane talent, which manifested as a semblence of unlife imbued within his toys. When his family realized that Mort's latest pet, a raven named Springfeather, was more than just a creepy clockwork, Mort quickly found himself enrolled and living at the city's arcane academy.
Though Mort took well to his studies, he was frustrated to find that the school of Necromancy at the academy was largely taboo, saddled with crippling restrictions from the academy masters and city governor, with only a single tired, put upon instructor and no dedicated students. In fact, Mort was the first student to show open interest in the school in fourty years. There were few books or resources on necromancy in the academy's library, and no funds available for research tied to the school.
Mort found all of these restrictions extremely frustrating and counter intuitive. After all, knowledge is not inherently evil, it is only what people do with it that matters. Could not evocation magic burn down a house? could not conjuration open gates to fiendish horrors? Could not enchantment and illusion bewitch the mind? How was Necromancy as a school any more dangerous or any less worthy of study than any of those schools?
Because there was so little available to learn, Mort graduated sooner than his peers, and decided to travel the world as an adventurer, seeking out the Necromantic lore that had been denied to him in his formal education, and collecting it with the goal of eventuall opening his own academy of the Necromantic Arts, so that future generations of young necromancers would not be frustrated as he had been. Upon his graduation, his beloved teacher encouragd him to follow his dream, and gave him a rare and forbidden text, the Tenebrous Tome of Sellosus the Blind, a book of secret necromantic lore. This particular copy had been made by the Arch Necromancer Voderich Pale, who had locked the tome's secrets beneath a cobweb of codes and cyphers both magical and mundane. The teacher had made very little progress in translating and decoding the book, with the academy masters constantly watching him, but he hoped Mort, with his new freedom, would be able to unlock the book's secrets, and use it to help establish his school. |

BACK STORY Magda Marsk was bored and tired of her simple life. Bored of serving in her father's tavern, The Stone Squire, in the North Ward of Waterdeep. Tired of seeing "noble" patrons saunter in and out, every day, like they owned the world. What right did they have that she didn't? Maybe it was time to take a little for herself. So she decided she would study these nobles. Learn how to act like them, copy their mannerisms and how they spoke. She'd then go out, as one of them, and take what she wanted. As would be her "noble" right! As a natural actor, it almost seemed too easy. She would sneak out at night and hit the taverns seaking her just due. Charming her way close to drunks and swiping their coin purses. But, alas, even this thrill started to wear thin. Lucky for her, things were about to get interesting. She had been spotted by a local grifter named Ronaldo who recognized her raw talent and kindred spirit. Now this was the life she was looking for. With Ronaldo as a mentor she quickly blossomed. Weather it was with her martial training or the con, she seemed like she was born for this life. Everything was so exciting now. There wasn't a mark too big that she and Ronaldo couldn't take down. Or so she thought... One night while working over what seemed to be a well off traveling merchant, Ronaldo aquired a small chest from the merhant's wagon. Though magically locked, he used his connections to have it opened for a cut of the score. To everyone's chagrin the only thing in the chest was a small book written in an odd language. Intrigued by the book, Mags took it as a curiosity and started to study it. Little by little the words started to make sense. Almost as if the book was unfolding itself to her, teaching her how to read it so that she could unlock it's contents. When she told Ronaldo this, he would just laugh it away and say that she was, "mad." But she wasn't crazy! There were secrets in this book. Ancient. Dark. Secrets that she had to know. And she wasn't the only one... As she approached the safehouse where she was to meet up with Ronaldo a few months after finding the book, she got the strangest feeling. Like a whisper in her ear. "Caution" it said. Not one to esily wave a feeling like that away, she stealthily approached a side window. That's when she saw the most horrifying thing she's ever seen. Ronaldo, hanging in mid air like a ragdoll, and standing infront of him a grotesque creature. A tall, gaunt humanoid, dressed in dark robes, and what looked like an octopus for a head. What happened next was something so horrid it will forever haunt her dreams. Terrified, she ran. Collected what little she could in a hurry and left Waterdeep's north gate that very night. Now she spends her days on the move under the cover of a noble from Baulder's Gate in hopes of throwing off any trail. But every night she reads before falling into a fitful rest. Reads in hope that something in the book will explain what it was that Ronaldo died for. |

Ideal. Change. Life is like the seasons, in constant change, and we must change with it. Bond. I suffer aweful visions of a coming disaster and will do anything to prevent it. Flaw. I am slow to trust members of other races, tribes, and societies.
BACK STORY Komät was born of the Sky Pony tribe of the Uthgardt barbarians in the year DR 1473, the Year of the Heritic's Rampage. He's always felt great pride in his family, and in his tribe. His father had died a great hero when Komät was but a boy, and he carries with him a small urn with ashes from his father's funeral pyre as a reminder of the man he hopes to be. When he was young, before his right of passage, he spent his time caring for the tribe's animals. Though a bit more kindhearted and timid that other members of his tribe, his blood burns just as fierce as any other when battle is met. Fierce, but tempered, he knows that there's more to fighting than strength alone. Wise beyond his years in this regard, he blends his natural speed with savagry when it comes to combat. Though surviving in the wild has it's hardships, he wouldn't have life any other way. Until recently, that is. Lately he's been having strange dreams. Visions of soaring high over world, with wings of solid gold, free of Toril's constraints. As he looks around, though, his joy turns to dread. The land as buring, for countless miles, as far as his great eyes can see. With a start he wakes, but the feeling remains. This feeling of unease has been steadily growing and he's decided he must now leave the tribe to find out what these dreams mean. There's change in the air and he means to understand it so he can save his people. |

| #67WhirAug 11, 2014 20:56:16 | This is the cleric I made for my online game. I am not a mythology major, so please don't bust me too hard for using Chang'e as a diety -- the imagery is what I was going for, not necessarily the actual Chinese mythology. I also did not list characteristics from the game background because I feel they are all spelled out more betterer by the brief character background
I will be adding higher level versions of her and her foster brother in the future!
"Why no shield?" Flavor. She is not a fighter (though she has been trained by the order). She will try to persuade her way out of a bad situation. If she can't, her brother steps in.

BACKGROUND Xia Wei is a cleric of Chang'e, Goddess of the Moon and Immortality. She has traveled far west of her homeland in search of a reagent which will complete an Elixir of Immortality for the high priestess of her temple. The reward for returning with the reagent would be the highest post under the new immortal, and as such, others are also racing to find it.
She dresses in the spun silk raiment of her homeland, her holy vestments mostly covering the intricately detailed chain mail given to the clerics who had volunteered for the mission. Her baton is made of steel, the pommel shaped like a full moon and the rod engraved with cassia flowers. Her shuriken are shaped like crossed crescent moons.
She is physically refined and generally quiet, but her appearance and silence belie her driven and selfish nature. She will do what needs to be done to get what she wants, though she will shirk from harming the innocent to accomplish this.
Her holy symbol, a full moon engraved with the shape of a cassia flower, is kept chained to her wrist at all times. When not in use, it hides in a pocket sewn into the sleeve of her vestments.

BACKSTORY
Notes: In 4E I played a human fighter named Nihilus, who was basically meant to a Thor type character who developed into his own character with a ridiculously fun to play history and personality of his own. I am attempting to transition this character into 5E while keeping the core of him, although with a bit less of his darkness. The idea is he has the shield, but can always stow it or simply drop it and two hand the warhammer for the bonus damage. Obviously a hammer is a must for this character and he will progress towards strength and con caps. Also some other feats I'm considering on down the road are: Sentinel, Shield Master, Mage Slayer and Savage Attacker. Anyhow, I think everything is right here, and I am curious of any feedback, both good and bad. |

Nashrukk Nashrukk [NASH-rou-KAY] is a hell hound, a fire-breathing canines from the Baator, more precisely from the 4th circle Phlegethos of the 9 Hells. Nashrukk resembles a large hound with golden to red-brown fur and red, glowing eyes and a black mane. It has large snouts protruding from its mouth, often drippling acidic saliva. Its markings, teeth, and tongue are soot black. Nashrukk is large and muscular, standing 4 1/2 feet high at the shoulder (almost 7 feet long) and weighting over 300 lbs. It has a distinct odor of smoke and sulfur constantly emanating from him and the baying sounds it makes has an eerie, hollow tone that send a shiver through any who hear them. Nashrukk has a burned tattoed mark on the back of the head, tree triangles symbol of asmodeus made by its former master, a baatezu warlord named Gryzzi'yl. Nashrukk served in the blood war as a scout for the devil armies until the day he was brought out of its plane of existance onto the prime material plane by a mad wizard named Zircon, which perished almost immediatly after the summoning, at the hand of a band of orcs in some caves. The orcs captured the hell hound but couldn't keep it captive for long as it fled after setting fire to their huts. Nashrukk roamed the plains but found that no matter where he goes, people are affraid of him due to his odd appearance and connection to dangerous plane, except adventurers which tend to tolerate him and give him strange food, recognizing its superior intelligence and high lawfulness, making him a loyal companion despite its nature. |

BACKGROUND Jin Wei grew up in the streets, just another orphan in the mess of urchins. His size let him bully the smaller and get away with taking the best spoils for himself when he ran with the pack.
Jin is tall and well-muscled with a fair complexion. He is methodical in most aspects of his life, practicing his combat drills every morning and reading his book of Chang'e's teachings -- a gift from Xia -- each night before rest. He departs from this in one aspect: Xia herself. He will throw any caution aside if she asks it and would fight to the death by tooth and claw if necessary to protect her. Any insult towards her will bring Jin's hands to his sword, but a single word from Xia will also calm him. |

When he reached Redcott last week, he decided to stay for a short while to sample the local ales, which are famous far and wide for the strength of the brew.

Artun Felec Artun [ar-TON] was born in 1467 DR in Melvaunt in the Moonsea from a modest family of rug traders, the Felec. There he lived an ordinary life until he left to become a spy for the Harpers, passing himself as a fence in Phlan's underworld to do information gathering. Artun has long brown hair and eyes, a small goatee and a big hat adorning a bright red feather. He prides himself as one of the finest swashbuckler in the Moonsea, which often brings him into duel with other challengers who wants to prove him wrong. Artun is an acrobatic, agile combattant with loaded cockyness and disarming manners, which makes him popular among the ladies but not so much among rivals. He is prone to take risk being flamboyant, both in love affairs and other more dangerous situations. |
| #96WhirAug 17, 2014 18:02:09 | Kursh Lowtone, Half-orc Bard
Now Kursh travels under his guild's banner, using his entertainment (and intimidation if necessary) skills to secure contracts for the guild and wealth for himself. He is not one to start a fight, but he will happily end it with sword and spell. Though skilled in persuasion and deception, he does not use his skills to take advantage of good people. He sees no immorality in fleecing the corrupt or evil.

| #99WhirAug 17, 2014 18:00:34 | Rekish, Dragonborn Monk
BACKGROUND (FOLK HERO — Feature: Rustic Hospitality) Rekish grew up a ward of the monastery in a small town with an inconsequential name. Left by unwilling parents, orphan of war, or part of some great prophecy, she has never been told how she arrived.
Her draconic heritage obvious, her biological weapon had never manifested at the age of 16. On an overcast day, walking home to the temple from the village with food and supplies, she encountered a few seedy men harassing a woman and her two small children. As any good person might, Rekish tried to intervene, but was quickly overpowered by the bandits. Pinned and helpless, she could do nothing but watch while the other men began tearing at the woman’s clothes, her children frozen in terror. She felt a fury well up from inside of her and as she started to scream, a bolt of electricity crackled from her open jaws, mortally wounding the two would-be rapists. The third man ran in fright, freeing Rekish to help the woman and her children back to town.
Personality Traits: I judge people by their actions, not their words. If someone is in trouble, I’m always ready to lend help. Bond: I protect those who cannot protect themselves. Flaw: I have trouble trusting in my allies.

| #100Danny_MontannyAug 17, 2014 15:56:43 | Thanks to Plaguescarred for the idea! Maybe an awoken black bear Barbarian next?
Akazuma3rd-level Shadow Monk, Medium humanoid (human "awoken wolf"), lawful neutral
Armor Class 15 Speed 50 ft. 14 (+2) 16 (+3) 12 (+1) INT WIS CHA 10 (+0) 14 (+3) 8 (-1)
Saving Throws Str +4, Dex +5 Skills Acrobatics +5, Athletics +4, Perception +4, Stealth +5, Survival +4 Senses passive Perception 14 Languages Common, Dwarvish, Elvish, Orc Challenge 1 (200 XP)
Equipment. A shortsword, 4 daggers, a black leather harness, and a headband representing his clan.
Feat. Mobile: When Akazuma uses the Dash action, difficult terrain doesn't cost him extra movement on that turn. When he makes a melee attack against a creature, he doesn't provoke opportunity attacks from that creature for the rest of the turn, wheather he hits or not.
Proficiency. (+2) Akazuma is proficient with simple weapons, shortswords, and the drums.
Unarmored Defense. While Akazuma is wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, his AC is 15.
Martial Arts. Akazuma gains the following benefits while he is unarmed or wielding only monk weapons and he isn't wearing armor or wielding a shield:
Ki. Akazuma's training allows him to harness the mystic energy of ki. He has 3 ki points that he can spend on various ki features. When he spends a ki point, it is unavailable until he finishes a short or long rest, and the end of which he draws all of his expended ki back into himself. He must spend at least 30 minutes of the rest meditating to regain his ki points. Some ki features require his target to make a saving throw to resist the feature's effect. That saving throw DC is 12.
Unarmored Movement. Akazuma's speed increases 10 ft. while he is not wearing armor or wielding a shield.
Deflect Missiles. Akazuma can use his reaction to deflect or catch the missle when he is hit by a ranged attack. When he does so, the damage he takes from the attack is reduced by 1d10 + 5. If he reduces the damage to 0, he can catch the missile if it is small enough for him to hold in his mouth and his mouth is free. If he catches a missile in this way, he can spend 1 ki point to make a ranged attack with the weapon or piece of ammunition he just caught, as part of the same reaction. He makes this attack with proficiency and the missile counts as a monk weapon for the attack.
Ki Features: Akazuma has access to the following benefits when spending ki points:
ACTIONS Shortsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1d6 + 3 piercing damage. Dagger. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 20/60, one target. Hit: 1d4 + 3 piercing damage.
PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS Background. Outlander (Ninja clan) Feature. Wanderer Trait. I watch over my friends as if they were a litter of newborn pups. I once ran twenty-five miles without stopping to warn my clan of an approaching attack. Ideal. Honor. If I dishonor myself, I dishonor my whole clan. Bond. I am the last of my clan, and it is up to me to ensure their names enter legend. Flaw. I remember every insult I've ever recieved and nurse a silent resentment toward anyone who's ever wronged me.
BACK STORY Akazuma (ah-KAZ-oo-ma) was selected as a pup, for his natural cunning and strength, to undergo one of the finest honors his clan could bestow. A ritual of magic was performed, giving him the intelligence of a man and the ability to speak. From then on he was a full fledged member of the clan, trained along side the other youths, and taught the secret art of Ninjitsu. Just like all members of the clan he was taught the use of the ninjatō (shortsword) and kunai (dagger), but without the ability to grasp a weapon he had to learn how to skillfully wield them using his jaws. He was also taught how to effectively use his natural weapons, his jaws and paws, to strike with more might than most would think possible. More than just martial training, he was also taught how to use the energy residing in his own body to acomplish great feats of speed and steath. This was all to prepare him for what would come next. War. His entire clan was a secret village that could be hired by those, with enough coin, that wished to wage a covert war on their enemies. Though they were soldiers for hire, the clan held to a strict code of honor. They would not kill innocents and wouldn't fight those they deemed unworthy to battle. This ultimately would be their undoing. While out on a solo mission he learned that a recently turned down lord had resented their rebuff and planned on slaughtering their village with his army. He raced home as fast as he could, but alas, he was too late. Though they fough hard, and afflicted many casualties to their enemy, the villige was murdered to the last man. Horrified and heartbroken, Akazuma did the only thing he could, he ran. Now he wanders, looking for those that he could call family again, and increasing his skills so he could one day return and exact his revenge on the merciless lord who slaughtered his people. Akazuma is a fierce warrior and still holds to his strict code of honor. As such, he is a stalwart protector of those he finds honerable and a savage enemy to those that would besmirch that honor. |

He practiced for years to construct a persona of a friendly emmisary from potentially hostile lands. The only person he is truely honest with is Glasya (even she is often absent), and his years of lies have led him to distrust the motivations of everyone else around him, everyone that would hate him if they knew he really was what their first instincts tell them. |

DESCRIPTION Siggledrix, or “Sig to his friends,” is a stark contrast to the general idea of what a gnome should be. His hair is a dark matted knot but somehow still manages to stick out in every direction, giving him the appearance of a mangy cat that’s just been electrocuted. His beard flows freely from his face and often contains random objects including but not limited to parts of his last meal, twigs, small shiny rocks, insects, or animal companions. His skin is probably a dark tan, but is usually covered in dirt, blood, or questionable smearable debris. His eyes, a startling green, usually contain hints as to his mental state. |

Chukwembe Chukwembe [SHOUK-ouem-BAY] was born in Turmish, in a small town of Xorshun, not much more than a caravan stop along the Halondar trade road connecting to Hlondath. Like all turami, he is tall mahogany-skinned man that speak common with a broken accent distinct from his region. He also wear a teeth necklace as a trophy after his tribe slayed the predator called Wandake (meaning "sky shadow" in turami), a wyvern that was terrorizing Xorshun. Chukwembe also has a tribal head ornament made with hunting cat fur (strenght) and winged serpent feathers (wisdom), a gift from his chieftain when he went on his druidic pilgrimage to wander the big world. |

Saelana Elanbow 3rd-level Half-Elf Ranger (Hunter) Int 13(+1) Wis 14(+2) Cha 9(-1)
TRAITS Feature: Rustic Hospitality Proficiency (+2)
SKILLS Animal Handling +4, Athletics +5, Medicine +4, Nature +3, Perception +4, Religion +3, Survival +4
ACTIONS Melee Attacks— Long Sword: +5 to hit (reach 5 ft.; one creature).
FAVORED TERRAIN Forest
FAVORED ENEMIES Orcs, Goblins
HUNTER PATH Horde Breaker - Once on each of your turns when you make a weapon attack, you can make another attack with the same weapon against a different creature that is within 5 feet of the original target and within range of your weapon.
EQUIPMENT Weapons as above, arrows (40), backpack, bedroll, change of clothing, rations (10), waterskin, healer kit, herbalist kit, tinderbox, potion of healing (2)
PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS Appearance: Pale of skin and hair, Saelana is petite and powerful. Often grimy from weeks in the wild. Traits: If someone is in trouble, I’m always ready to lend help. Ideals: Respect. People deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. (Good) Bond: I protect those who cannot protect themselves. Flaw: Secretly, I believe that things would be better if I were a tyrant lording over the land.
STORY Saelana was conceived in tragedy. Her mother, a Moon Elf, was brutally raped by raiders when Orcs and evil Men raided into the Moonwood. Though her mother dutifully raised Saelana, the Elf was always clear she had no love for her child; indeed, Saelana's mother made it clear she was a perpetual and unwelcome reminder of her great tragedy. Because of her mixed blood - and the circumstances of her conception - Saelana was never accepted into what remained of the Elven population.
Saelana learned early to fend for herself, choosing to spend her days wandering the Moonwood. As she aged - more quickly than the pureblood Elf children around her, to her shame - she ventured further and further afield. She came to favor the longbow as her protection, and many an evil creature fell with one of her blue-fletched arrows in its throat. She tirelessly hunted Orcs and Goblins - a trait she continues, for she loathes them beyond her capacity of words to describe - driving them far from her part of the Moonwood.
As is widely known, the Moonwood has an unusually high population of lycanthropes, one of which - a werewolf of great power - began to prey on her village. One night the beast shattered the door of her mother's home. Saelana slew the beast, nearly being slain herself, but not before the werewolf mauled her mother to death. The next morning she left the band of Elves without a word, never to return.
She quickly found her way to Silverymoon, where she joined other adventurers for a time. Now she ranges where she will.

| #129Plaguescarred1Aug 30, 2014 10:13:06 | I updated to 5E my first D&D Next character i played during family & friends playtest 3 years ago when i managed to leave my DM seat to billnewsome for a D&D game in Greyhawk;
Tiguel Darago Tiguel [T-goo-L] is a dimwitted but somewhat innocent halfling that has an habbit of getting himself in trouble more than he should, by getting his bubby fingers on what he shouldn't. He likes music and downtime. He is just back from a trip to the south in the Pomarj, where he overslept on the beach a few times after abusing a local liquor called Cocaquila, which gave him this dark tan. He still talk with the Pomarji accent he adopted while on vacation. Back in Stoink he heard of a fiesta at the Palace and his oversized eyes got bigger. Down on his luck and finance, he thought he could invite himself to have fun and perhaps more...A Fiesta ? Sure, where ? Palace Royale ? Tiguel always ready to party...Think there's any Cocaquila gringo ? |
| #130LeugrenAug 30, 2014 12:16:31 | That is one deranged looking halfling, @Plaguescarred. He will probably haunt my nightmares tonight. He must have an amazingly likeable personality to score a Charisma of 12, because he makes most half orcs look like Brad Pitt! |

Brave: You have advantage on saving throws against being frightened. Halfling Nimbleness: You can move through the space of any creature that is of a size larger than yours. Naturally Stealthy: You can attempt to hide even when you are obscured only by a creature that is at least one size larger than you. Divine Sense (4/long rest): The presence of stron evil registers on your senses like a noxious odor, and powerful good rings like heavenly music in your ears. Lay on Hands (5hp/long rest): Your blessed touch can heal wounds.
SKILLS Persuasion +5, Insight +2, Deception +5, Stealth +5 ACTIONS Ranged Attack— Sling: +5 to hit (range 30/120 ft; one creature). A Rapier, Sling, 40 bullets, Shield (emblazoned with the symbol of Kelemvor), Studded Leather, dagger, crowbar, Dark common clothes with hood, Set of Fine Clothes, a silver skull coin, Explorer's Pack, belt pouch (9gp, 8sp)
PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS Traits: “I would rather make a new friend than a new enemy." "I don't pay attention to the risks in a situation. Never tell me the odds." Ideal: “That which is done to the weakest and smallest, shall be visited tenfold upon the guilty." Bond: “I fight for those who can not fight for themselves" Flaw: “I follow my path to escape my past sins. My code does not always align with the morals of others."
BACKSTORY
Since that night, Darden has dedicated himself to Kelemvor and randomly receives mysterious messages with a single name on each. He seeks out these people and deliver's Kelevor's vengeance to them. In a twist of fate (or divine intervention) the thieves guild he belonged to was decimated when the slaver's took their revenge, but Darden was able to escape and now seeks to help the small and weak, wherever he can. He likes to keep up the ruse that he is just a lowly thief because everyone just assumes the halfling in the cloak is a thief, and it makes gathering information on his marks much easier. He still maintains his happy-go-lucky attitude and only let's his friends know his true self. No matter where he goes, the messages always find him, and they never stop coming.

Its hard knowing that your lack of ability disapoints your family and it is especially so when you are from Rashemen and your mother is a powerful Hathran. Before you were born, she was told that a child of her line will be an incredible wielder of magic and a gift to Rashemen. My childhood was full of joy with the only pain being magical practice, as I couldn't cast the simplest of cantrips. Mother consulted her sister Hathrans, spoke with Ancient Fey and a some unsavoury Hags. The answers given were conflicting and there was no doubt at all that her daughter Erizel was unable to access her gift and the greatest clerics of the mother were unable to intercede.

Feats Magic Initiate (Light, Message) and (Cure Wounds) (Bard- a Patrons Gift)

On her 17th Birthday, she was given an Alabaster Mask with tears from her mother, who told her that she wished that the mask gift could have been as part of her initiation into the Sisterhood. Erizel was sent to a secret camp to train in the arts of Spycraft, to serve in the New Rashemen Secret Service. During her training, she was haunted by strange dreams of a mysterious fey who offered her a gift of ancient magic. Her years of magical failure made this very tempting. Erizel was tempted further by the offer that if she accepts the gift, then she only has to do a few minor favours for her patron and keep silent about the source of her new powers. Erizel was happy to do this, so she practiced her magic in secret. Telling nobody of her magic. Now she works as a roving agent for the New Rashemen Secret Service and the Harpers, this means that she will have little need to return home to Rashemen. But she will return, once she can wield magic of the third degree and is then elligable for initiation as a Hathran. When she was gifted with her Book of Shadows it contained 3 cantrips and 2 rituals. She used to play with guising herself with her magic, but chose to sacrifice that abililty to empower her Book of Shadows. (Possible variants for her book of shadow's appearance- its a holed stone on a chain round her neck or its her Alabaster Mask. She has been taught to scribe rituals onto parchment, which she must burn with expensive and exotic fragrant oils. Then rubbing the ashes onto her holed stone or her mask).

Yanni d'Ghallanda Yanni [E-any] was born early in the summer month of nymm in 967 YK in Gatherhold in the Talenta Plains. Short but stocky, he has long braided brown hair and bright green eyes. Yanni wield weapons of his clan; a curved sword mounted on a short shaft called a talenta tanga and simple curved polished sticks called a talenta boomrang, which he is known to dual throw with blinding speed. He was part of a small nomadic clan of halfling that was decimated during an unfortunate encounter with Cannith warforged forces. After, Yanni joined House Ghallanda (which means "helpful hounds" in the halfling tongue) and served during The Last War as a member of the Dragontail Guild providing food and shelter to armies in the field in exchange for gold and a guarantee of neutrality and soon started manifesting the Mark of Hospitality (see Spellcasting). After The Last War ended, Yanni became a Ghallanda Sheperd, roaming the plains and beyond riding his old fastieth dinosaur Mosso, hunting beasts and trading goods, or occasionally searching for lost souls to offer help or hospitality. Mosso is an amphibious fastieth lizard bred by halflings for speed, which can keep pace with common riding horse in spite of its slight size, and capable of swallowing small foes whole and leap surprising distance and for that Mosso has proven a remarkable mount and companion over the years.

Askith Tighn is a Red Knight of the Ancient Order, dedicated to serving the Will of the Hidden Empire. All Red Knights are addressed as M'lady and they scare most people because they speak for the Hidden Empire and can mete out punishment. It is not widely known even amongst scholars, that the Red Knights were descended from Durthans exiled from Rashemen. All Red knights hate Hathrans and seek their destruction and for the Hidden Empires dominion to include Rashemen. Askith has an apprentice called Yulvara who is studying the Mysteries of the Hidden Empire called the Way. Akiths retainers are her Majordomo Renngoba and her herald Faurgar. Both Renngoba and Faurgar have contacts with the Hidden Empire and are totally dedicated to serving Akiths.
(Apologies folks, I had to do it- yes you will see what Askith Tighn really is and she does serve the Hidden Empire which may or may not be part of the Zhentarim Faction and may only exist where the populace are subjugated by the Red Knights, or the Blue Warders and or the White Guard. Blue Warders are berserker warriors and male wizards (M'lord), whereas the White Guard are the primary warriors of the Hidden Empire, which could possibly be ruling Thay or far worse the next town or village you come to.

PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS
BACKSTORY Show Kerian wasn't always a knight. At the age of 14 he and his father were the principal blacksmiths in town. Kerian, taking on the role of an apprentice, was just in the beginning stages of learning the craft. His father had set out many chores for him to do before the day could even begin. One such task was getting wood from the nearby forest to start the forge. One misty morning Kerian set out on his chores, heading into the woods for some additional fire wood. It was then he heard the screams.
With his wood-chopping axe in hand he bounded off in search of the desperate cries of fear. What he walked into was a nightmare. A clearing in the woods revealed a small road and that of four dead or wounded guards and a turned over wagon. Across the small clearing was a girl, a few years shy of Kerian's own age, being stalked and toyed with a few ruthless goblins. An ambush by the looks of it, the goblins got as bad as they had dished out for several goblin corpses lie among the fallen guards. Kerian, without hesitating rushed into the clearing and heaved his axe at the closest one. His sudden appearance and assault caught them off guard and before the first goblin could react, the axe slammed into it's chest.
Kerian, sprinting across the open span, had nothing left to attack with but he charge head-long in anyways. As he crossed the mid-way point one of the dying guards tossed his notched blade in Kerian's path. Not missing a beat Kerian picked up the blade and noticed that it's weight and balance were superb. The goblins by now realized what a threat he was and moved in for the kill. The first goblin stabbed straight, nicking Kerian's side. The second goblin attempted to get the upper ground. Kerian felt none of the pain, fueled by adrenaline and simple fear. As the spear went wide he came down with a overhand chop that clove the goblin's head in two. The attack was so powerful that it threw Kerian head over heels and into the now-dead goblin's body. Luck was on his side for had he not fallen, the third goblin would've been able to jump on his back and plant a rusty dagger into his head.
Kerian tried to stand but the third goblin was keeping him down by attempting to stab him multiple times. Back peddling on his hand and feel, Kerian was surely to perish at the ferocious goblins advance. Suddenly a large rock stuck the goblin in the head and dazzled it for a moment. Chancing a quick look over his shoulder, he could see the girl holding another one in her hand, fire and hatred in her eyes. Using the sudden distraction, Kerian retrieved his sword and dealt the final blow that dropped the goblin in a gout o blood and gore. Kerian was relieved to see that the girl was unharmed and even more surprised to find that she was the daughter of the wealthy nobleman Erik Baeldran, whom he and his father often did work for.
Kerian escorted the dame back to her father who, seeing Kerians potential as a solid warrior, instantly granted him the title of knight. Soon Kerian went to the keep of the Baeldrans and trained in the ways of Knighthood. Learning from other knight's in Baeldran court about the ways of politics, royalty, chivalry, and honor. Unfortunately not all of Lord Erik's knights were so astute in these teachings. For there were quite a few knights whom grew tired of the constant taxes and levies they were paying to say in the Lord's good grace. And a coupé had begun.
A few years later Kerian wore the mantle of Knight well, using his training and knowledge to the best of his abilities and even gaining some favor among the ladies of the court. The girl he rescued, the dame Rhiannon, had stolen a special place in his heart and he had longed to court her in earnest. Sadly that would never come to fruition. The coupé had begun and soon knights from all around fought each other. Many taking the side of the Lord while a larger majority took to the side of the betrayers. The ring leader of the coup, a disgraced knight named Dorn Graycastle, led the charge and was solidly routing the opposition. Lord Erik was out of options.
Kerian and a few of the lord's retainers were among the few remaining in the castle as it started to burn. Erik and his two daughters and a handful of guards left without any direction or note and Kerian was left with few options. He could fight to the death OR leave the ruined keep in search of his lord and love. With a heavy heart he escaped the falling keep with the 3 remaining servants and headed into the wilderness. Kerian has vowed to seek vengeance on Sir Dorn and those who betrayed everything they once stood for. |

Ravengeld Mazeminder3rd-Level Human Wizard (Evocation)
Dagger
SPELLS Spells Prepared: Disguise Self, Magic Missile, Shield, Arcane Lock, Blur, Suggestion EQUIPMENT
BACKSTORY Ravengeld suffered from poor diet as a child and walks awkwardly. Unable to engage in rough-and-tumble with his boyhood peers, he failed to develop social skills and retreated into books. He corresponded frequently with Anwarad The Astromancer who, shortly before his bizarre death - he was struck on the head by a large meteorite whose precise time and location he had accurately predicted - had written to Ravengeld posing the question: how much does the moon weigh? which Ravengeld now feels obliged to try to answer. Lately, he has been studying with another mentor - Trufeld The Unkempt - who is a noted evoker and discoverer of the Moonstorm spell that bears his name. Ravengeld has several times asked Trufeld to cast that spell onto a butcher's scales with a view to determining the weights of the miniature moons that are evoked, but every time the scales (and, in one case, a hapless butcher) have been crushed without any measurement being possible.

Resistance to fire damage Expanded Spell List (burning hands, command) Uncle Daddy's Blessing
Dagger
SPELLS
EQUIPMENT
BACKSTORY Short on his quota and on time, Hex Arcana headed west to Fandango, looking for souls to steal for his Father (and Uncle) Dispater, Archduke of the Iron City. He came across Falsetto Jones, a bard and confidence man who was going by the name of Jahni Fiddler at the time. Hex challenged Jahni to a fiddling contest with Hex betting his prized golden fiddle against Jahni's soul. Jahni took the bet and they dueled with fiddles until the rising sun. But despite having a band of devils join in, Hex to his utter shock and dismay lost the bet. Jahni was just too damn good. After he snatched up his prize, he called Hex an unkind name, threw him some rosin as a gesture of pity and scorn, and challenged him to another match some day. Since that day, Hex has been scheming to get his golden fiddle back.
Also, he goes on adventures, if it serves Uncle Daddy's purposes. |

Bond The gods took our ship at sea. I am utterly loyal to the few survivors.
Flaw Once someone questions my courage I won't back down, no matter how dangerous the situation.
Background I had a crappy life growing up, surviving on scraps and constantly having to move. Disaster followed me everywhere. I fell in with pirates as a young man and found myself loving the life, and lived it until the gods smashed our ship at sea. I took that as a sign, so now I wander land, looking for adventure and reward.
I don't like to talk about the magic. I try not to use it because, honestly, it scares me. |

Æther
SKILLS
Light Crossbow. Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, range 100/300 ft., one target. Hit: (1d8 + 2) piercing damage.
BACKGROUND Show Æther is a skilled warrior and thief. He often takes money for killing people yet detests the term “murderer” saying that to perform murder one needs to have something wrong with their head and he thinks the term “Assassin” is too flamboyant. He also don’t like to put labels on things. Æther doesn’t like to talk about this past and rarely, if ever, gives out his alias. When asked for his name he’ll answer by addressing the same question back to the person then take the name for himself by saying “By the GODS, that’s my name TOO!” He’s capricious demeanor is only off-set by his deadly skill at arms and ruthless determination to see a job to the end. He is most assuredly evil but gets along with people so long as they don’t get in his way of getting wealthy or there isn’t money is killing them.
Very little is known about his background. Authorities know he most likely lived off the streets and only received military training as a recruit in the army of one nation or another. Chances are his megalomania proved to be the reason he was ejected OR he killed someone for getting in his way. His appearance is almost always the same, a tan vest with red shirt and a chain shirt for armor under a black or dark brown hood and cloak. When doing his bed-time work, he often adorns a mask and gloves to reduce the chances of someone obtaining his identity. |

Arnwolf is a dwarven barbarian of the clan of the Northern Wind. Son of a great war chieftain. As such he is trained in the diplomacy and lore of his people. I wanted to play the guy who can take a beating better than anyone. So I went for an all hit point point realizing I will not hit much because of the low strength. But I like the charisma for intimidation and persuasion purposes. I think I will have him using a Battle Axe and shield, though I am still debating Great Axe. |

Sir Vilemar Uskevren Vilemar [V-lay-MAR] was born in 1465 DR in Sembia. Of noble birth, he is the son of Phaldinor II from the Uskevren house (meaning "too bold to hide" in some forgotten tongue), a noble family of Selgaunt who live primarily in Stormweather Towers, with a house badge depicting a gold horse-head-and-fouled-anchor. Their money originally stockpiled through piracy but the family was nearly destroyed in the 1330s DR by rival families who discovered their illicit means of money-making and they since then rebuilt their finance and reputation by bying and selling land. Vilemar left Sembia to adventure and enter legends among other heroes of the realms. |

Stern Sentinel Draglarodarrgarthian Draglarodargarthian [DRAG-la-ro-DAR-GARRE-cien] was born during the mid 1400's DR in a a shallow burrow in the Rathgaunt Hills, located due east of Lake Lhespen and the Shaar.Built on a short but solid stature, Draglarod (often simply called to "Drag") has long grey-white hair and sideburns, striking blue eyes and bulbous large nose typical of all gnomes. He was raised in a Temple of Gaerdal Ironhand called Shield of the Rathgaunt Hills, a fortified subterranean stronghold formed from worked caves serving as both houses of worship and defensive fortifications. Draglarod entered paladinhood and climbed the rank up to Stern Sentinel as a stalwart defender of the Forgotten Folk. Draglarod is also member of The Shields of the Golden Hills, an organized militant order of Gaerdalite devoted to protecting gnomes outside Forgotten Folk communities and so he is rarely found within the Shield nowadays, instead traveling across the realms and helping, protecting and defending gnomes whenever he can. |

Right Column
Personality Traits: I feel tremendous empathy for all who suffer. Althaea’s feelings on this are partially the result of the accidental injury (Wild Magic Surge) to her childhood best friend.
Ideals: Respect --> People deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. (Good)
Bonds: My family and clan are the most important things in my life, even when they are far from me.
Flaws: I am easily distracted by the promise of information/knowledge. This is especially true if Althaea thinks the knowledge can help her better control her powers so that she never accidentally hurts another person she cares about.
Features & Traits
Senses: Darkvision (60 Feet)
Fey Ancestry: You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed and magic cannot put you to sleep.
Trance: Elves do not need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semi-conscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance”.) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.
Elf Weapon Training: Elves have proficiency with Longswords, Shortswords, Longbows, and Shortbows.
Fleet Of Foot: Your base walking speed increases to 35 feet (from the normal base of 30 feet for Elves).
Mask Of The Wild: You can attempt to hide even when you are only lightly obscured by foliage, heavy rain, falling snow, mist, and other natural phenomena.
Life of Seclusion: I retreated from society after a life-altering event. Althaea’s magic (Wild Magic Surge) accidentally injured her best friend when she was younger.
Feature: Discovery (A Site That No One Has Ever Seen Before) --> During her time away from others as a Hermit, Althaea discovered a small spring that is brimming with wild magic. The power levels are not high, but an individual ‘could’ harness the spring’s power for minor magical purposes or uses. If the water is stored in a vessel away from the spring for more than 30 minutes, it reverts to normal water.
Wild Magic Surge: Starting when you choose this origin at 1st level, your Spellcasting can unleash surges of untamed magic. Immediately after you cast a sorcerer spell of 1st level or higher, the DM can have you roll a d20. If you roll a 1, roll on the Wild Magic Surge table to create a random magical effect.
Tides Of Chaos: Starting at 1st level, you can manipulate the forces of chance and chaos to gain advantage on one attack roll, ability check, or saving throw. Once you do so, you must finish a long rest before you can use this feature again. Any time before you regain the use of this feature, the DM can have you roll on the Wild Magic Surge table immediately after you cast a sorcerer spell of 1st level or higher. You then regain the use of this feature.

Character Appearance: See image above.
Character Backstory
Althaea’s magical powers are due to her being specially blessed by a Dryad at birth. Her early childhood was quiet and happy, but her powers did eventually manifest and caused her some problems as she struggled to learn how to control them.
The breaking point for Althaea came when her magic accidentally injured her best friend (Wild Magic Surge). Her friend recovered without problems and did not blame Althaea for the accident, but it was just too much for Althaea to handle.
So, upset and scared, Althaea decided to leave her home for a while so that she could focus on getting her powers under control without hurting anyone else she cared about. While her family and friends did not want to see her leave, they did respect her decision to do so.
After some time spent in isolation, Althaea has made a wonderful discovery (the secret magical spring) and gained control over her powers. The secret spring did help her while experimenting with her powers and learning to control them. She has since returned home and is now ready to seek adventure.
Right Column
Allies & Organisations: None
Additional Features & Traits: Althaea has no scars or unusual marks on her person. She does tend to favour clothing, colours, jewellery, and other items that lend themselves to an Autumn theme.
Treasure: None outside of her remaining coinage at the moment.

Necromancy Cantrip
Casting Time: 1 Action Range: 120 Feet Components: Verbal, Somatic Duration: 1 Round
You create a ghostly, skeletal hand in the space of a creature within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the creature to assail it with the chill of the grave. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 necrotic damage, and it cannot regain hit points until the start of your next turn. Until then, the hand clings to the target.
If you hit an undead target, it also has disadvantage on attack rolls against you until the end of your next turn.
This spell’s damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).
Fire Bolt
Evocation Cantrip
Casting Time: 1 Action Range: 120 Feet Components: Verbal, Somatic Duration: Instantaneous
You hurl a mote of fire at a creature or object within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d10 fire damage. A flammable object hit by this spell ignites if it is not being worn or carried.

Light
Evocation Cantrip
Casting Time: 1 Action Range: Touch Components: Verbal, Material (A Firefly or Phosphorescent Moss) Duration: 1 Hour
You touch one object that is no larger than 10 feet in any dimension. Until the spell ends, the object sheds bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet. The light can be coloured as you like. Completely covering the object with something opaque blocks the light. The spell ends if you cast it again or dismiss it as an action.
If you target an object held or worn by a hostile creature, that creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw to avoid the spell.
Ray Of Frost
Evocation Cantrip
Casting Time: 1 Action Range: 60 Feet Components: Verbal, Somatic Duration: Instantaneous
A frigid beam of blue-white light streaks toward a creature within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, it takes 1d8 cold damage and its speed is reduced by 10 feet until the start of your next turn.

As you hold your hands with the thumbs touching and fingers spread, a thin sheet of flames shoots forth from your outstretched fingertips. Each creature in a 15-foot cone must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 3d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
The fire ignites any flammable objects in the area that are not being worn or carried.

Red Creek Rufusand his ornery boar companion
Belvedere
3rd-level Variant Human Ranger (Beast Master) Medium Male Humanoid
Natural Explorer (Swamp) Archery Fighting Style Spellcasting Primeval Awareness Ranger's Companion (Boar)
Trident Net +6 to hit, no damage, thrown (5/15)
SPELLS EQUIPMENT Studded leather armor, shield, trident, net (x3), explorer's pack, harmonica, fishing trophy, set of traveler's clothes, fishing tackle, belt pouch with 10 gp, glass orb filled with moving smoke.
PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS BACKSTORY Red Creek Rufus is a fisherman first and an adventurer second. While he'd rather be fishing all the time, Rufus knows that there are forces in the world that would see all his favorite fishing spots burn if they could find 'em. And though he's getting too old for this ****, he finds himself compelled to act when the despoilers of nature need to be stopped. One of his fishing spots is up around Old Owl Well and he's gotten the sense that not all is right in that area of late, having picking up the telltale signs of undead lingering in the area. Sometimes he brings his catch in to Fandango to trade for finished goods, but has been keeping clear of the place lately due to the Redbrands.
Red Creek Rufus' longtime companion is a cantankerous wild boar he calls Belvedere. Rufus has spent more time talking to that pig than talking to other people and he considers Belvedere a good listener and the only fan of his often shabby harmonica performances. Both Red Creek Rufus and Belvedere have a grudge against Jeremiah the Bullfrog, a local druid. Red Creek landed the biggest fish in his entire life one day - but his excitement was dashed when the fish turned into a naked man who promptly ran off with a hook in his lip. On a different occasion, Belvedere thought he found himself a mate and fell head over hooves in love, but again, it was just Jeremiah in boar form. Rufus knows that Jeremiah is up near Tumbleweed now and good riddance - he hopes the druid gets eaten by the green dragon he sensed up that way. It would serve him right.
(The statistics for Belvedere can be found in the DM Basic Rules.) |

After many trials and visions that may have shattered his mind entirely, he took on the name of Don Coyote and drew a group of ragtag retainers to his side. Together they go on quests both real and imagined throughout the region.

Kaeniaf'yr Nurbonnis Kaeniaf'yr [K-niaff-FYR] was born in 1372 DR in Menzoberranzan in the Underdark. He has a decrepit appearance with raggy hair, twisted teeth and weird habbits. Kaeniaf'yr is an outcast from 21st-ranked noble drow house of Menzoberranzan, which he was the alchemist for many years. Always regarded as crazed male, he was frequently tortured by female priestess of Lolth for his broken mind and deviant practices. Kaeniaf'yr is now a renegade sorcerer roaming the surface world of faerun after a disaster destroyed his laboratory during a failed experiment; a spell backfired causing a wild surge and teleporting him far away to the surface, which he always suspected was the fault of his sisters. He appeared in the Moonsea region and started to study the area and collect plants after he started to get used to the exterior sunlight. |

TRAITS
Background – Criminal (Enforcer) Feature: Bad Reputation – No matter where you go, people are afraid of you due to your reputation. When you are in a civilized settlement, you can get away with minor criminal offenses, such as refusing to pay for food at a tavern or breaking down doors at a local shop, since most people will not report your activities to the authorities. Proficiency (+2) Tools: Playing Card Set, Thieves’ Tools, Brewer’s Tools Saving Throws: Strength, Constitution Weapons: Simple Weapons, Martial Weapons Armor: Light Armor, Medium Armor, Shields
SKILLS
Athletics +5, Perception +3, Stealth +3, Intimidation +2

EQUIPMENT
chain shirt, maul, 5 javelins, an explorer’s pack, a grappling hook, a crow bar, a set of dark common clothes, a red cloak, 5 smoke pellets (like Fog Cloud, but only lasts two rounds), a belt pouch containing 15 gp.
explorer’s pack contents: a backpack, a bedroll, a mess kit, a tinderbox, 10 torches, 10 days of rations, a waterskin, and 10 feet of hempen rope strapped to the side.
FEATURES
Unarmored Defense: While you are not wearing any armor, your Armor Class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier. You can use a shield and still gain this benefit.
Rage: In battle, you fight with primal ferocity. On your turn, you can enter a rage as a bonus action. While raging, you gain the following benefits if you aren’t wearing heavy armor:
If you are able to cast spells, you can’t cast them or concentrate on them while raging. Your rage lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are knocked unconscious or if your turn ends and you haven’t attacked a hostile creature since your last turn or taken damage since your last turn. You can also end your rage on your turn as a bonus action. Once you have raged the number of times shown for your barbarian level, you must finish a long rest before you can rage again. Rages: 2 Rage Damage: +2
Reckless Attack: When you make your first attack on your turn, you can decide to attack recklessly. Doing so gives you advantage on melee weapon attack rolls using Strength during this turn, but attack rolls against you have advantage until your next turn.
Danger Sense: You have advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects that you can see, such as traps and spells. To gain this benefit, you can’t be blinded, deafened, or incapacitated.
Darkvision: Accustomed to life underground, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Dwarven Resilience: You have advantage on saving throws against poison, and you have resistance against poison damage.
Dwarven Combat Training: You have proficiency with the battleaxe, handaxe, throwing hammer, and warhammer.
Tool Proficiency: You gain proficiency with the artisan’s tools of your choice: smith’s tools, brewers supplies, or mason’s tools.
Stonecunning: Whenever you make an Intelligence (History) check related to the origin of stonework, you are considered proficient in the History skill, and add double your proficiency bonus to the check, instead of your normal proficiency bonus.
Dwarven Armor Training: You have proficiency with light and medium armor.
PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS

Sir Harold of Maccuswell, called the Upright10th-level Human Fighter Medium Male Humanoid
Fighting Style(s): Defense, Dueling
Second Wind Action Surge Extra Attack (2/turn) Indomitable
Archetype: Champion
SKILLS Animal Handling +5, Athletics +9, History +7, Intimidation +5
Lance Longsword +9 to hit, 1d8+5 slashing (versatile d10)
EQUIPMENT lance, longsword, plate armour, steel shield, explorer's pack, 2 sets of fine clothes, signet ring, warhose (w/barding)
PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS BACKSTORY Sir Harold comes from a long line of knights, generations of which were members of the Order of the Golden Hammer. Third son of a minor Cormyrian noble, he will, barring catastrophe, never inherit the ancestral lands around Maccuswell. Therefore he sought a life of errantry, riding forth alone save for his servants into the wide world. There he seeks to test himself in battle with evil foes of any type, but especially those who might recognize his armorial bearings, to wit: Quarterly Or and Gules, an Eagle displayed Sable. Thus does he gain renown.
He is also a champion jouster and tournament combatant, traveling the Sword Coast and inland as far as Cormyr to compete in gallant tournaments where he gains renown by showing not merely his fighting prowess but his noble grace and chevalrie.
Sir Harold always speaks formally and in High Speech: "I deem this quest to be one of great peril. Let not thine heart be troubled, however, for thou hast the strength of mine arm to carry through thine object." "Prithee, sirrah, take thou this my token, that all men might know thou hast my esteem in all things." He will dedicate all combats to a "fair maiden," the nearest around, regardless of the lady's rank or family (or, indeed, if she is in fact a maiden). He rather enjoys sarcastically saluting enemy women and dedicating his fight to her, just before he tramples her evil accomplice under his warhorse's hooves.
If he encounters a foe who can recognize his heraldry, he will challenge it, heedless of his peril. It is only through skil - with a generous helping of luck - that he has survived this long. (See 1st Ed AD&D Cavalier class.
NB: If used as an NPC, the PCs might meet Sir Harold defending a bridge or ford against all comers, purely for the joy of combat. One of his shields will hang from a tree near the bridge or ford with a sign calling upon all beings of noble spirit and bravery to clang thereupon in challenge. 1d4 minutes after sounding the gong, Sir Harold will appear on the other side of the obstacle, fully armed and caparisoned as in the picture above. Sir Harold bears good folk no ill will, and will joust a plaisance with good folk for sport, until one combatant is unhorsed. Then he will suggest fighting a plaisance on foot to counted blows, usually five. After the combat, he will insist on entertaining his opponent (and party) at his pavilion, serving food and wine to the accompaniment of his minstrel retainer, who will have made up a song about the "epic battle." If he wins in combat a plaisance, he will good-naturedly insist on a "ransom" or "prize" for his lady - a bunch of wildflowers picked from the roadside will do, and will be fed to his beloved warhorse mare, Lady. If he loses, he will insist on paying his ransom handsomely, with a purse of gold appropriate to his opponent's level. He will "fight down" to the level he encounters; as he fights for the joy of it, he has no interest in pummeling a 4th-level character into the dirt. See the Aurthurian legends and Victorian ideals of chivalry for more information.

Nimil'hel Allynwyn Nimil'hel [KNEE-my-L] was born in 1299 DR in Leuthilspar on the mysterious island of Evermeet. She has a long beautful bronze hair and eyes, which contrast with her silver head circlet. Nimil'hel learned the art of bladesong at a early age, and dreamed of becoming a bladesinger one day, so she devoted herself to arcane magic very early on. Being adept with both swords and spells, Nimil'hel served as a unicorn knight in Queen Amlaruil's unicorn rider cavalry many decades before Araya, her majestic unicorn, was slayed by invading sahuagin forces. She was then affected as a War Wizard at the Tower of Sun until she got to the rank of coronal guard after what she was sent to the mainland to look over remaining elves, and observe humankind and the weave. |

Droword Droword [Dro-WORD] was a commoner and a reputed member of Phlan's Woodcarvers Guild, well known for his fine oak coffins woodwork in town and former owner of Droword's Woodshop on Steel Avenue. This was until it burned down for inexplicable reasons on Kythorn 2nd of 1486 DR. His neightbors had already remarked a shift in Droword's appearance and behaviors seeing him act strangely and loose half his weight and all his body hair while his skin turned pale but it recently got out of hands and many suspect he put fire to his own shop in a crazed night. But Droword is not crazy, something forced or compelled him to do it. All began when he found a jade idol of a winged devil and started to have wild nightmares. In one of those dreams he was contacted by an otherwordly entity with whom he forged a pact with uncertain terms. Droword struck a deal with Hutijin, a powerful baatezu noble Duke of Hell on baator in the service of Mephistopheles, which closely resembles a pit fiend with a deep rust-red hue hide bathed in crackling lightning and electricity, but is actually a greater, higher-ranking being. He started to understand alien languages and collect obscure informations for Hutijin in a tome called the book of shadow - a fiendish codex written in infernal and abyssal - in exchange for great powers. Droword disappeared from Phlan's streets after having been approached by the Zhentarim, an unscrupulous shadow network of thieves and spies and just recently resurfaced brandishing an hand in which a glass eye is fixed to which supposedly Hutijin can see by, and is rumored to now work for the Black Network. |

PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS
Traits: “I … speak … slowly ... when talking … to idiots … which … almost … everyone … is … compared … to me.” “I’m convinced that people are trying to steal my secrets.” "I am a dyspeptic bastard, owing partly to my natural disposition, and partly to a gastro-intestinal disorder known as Dumathoin's Curse." Ideal: Knowledge. “The path to power and self-improvement is through knowledge.” (Neutral) Bond: “My life’s work is a series of tomes related to a specific field of lore.” Flaw: “I am obsessed with knowledge for its own sake, and I am blind to the practical consequences of my research.” “I speak without really thinking through my words, invariably insulting others” Appearance: “My face is frozen into a beetle-browed scowl as the result of nerve damage suffered during a lab explosion. A small pair of pince-nez perch at the end of my nose. I am completely bald, with a wispy white beard. I am 4’2” tall, and weigh 145 lbs. I believe that I am over 200 years old, but I lost count some time ago, having much more important things to occupy my thoughts.”
BACKSTORY
At an unusually early age, Caulder was admitted to the dwarven college of Khaval Krognyte as a distinguished fellow due to his revolutionary work in the field of alchemy. Among other things, Caulder is usually credited with the invention of Alchemist's Fire. In his obsession to devise a much more potent form of Alchemist’s Fire, he eventually began to delve into forbidden lore. After a tremendous explosion rocked his lab, the Provosts’ Council learned that he was conducting secret experiments involving arcane magic, and he was dismissed from the institution. Chafing under the constraints imposed upon him by his closed-minded brethren, Caulder left Citadel Adbar and traveled to Candlekeep in order to continue his research unimpeded. His efforts eventually took him into the field in search of rare reagents and obscure tomes, and also in an effort to further his understanding of the arcane arts. He firmly believes that the key to unlocking the secrets he needs in order to complete his research lies with mastery of the arcane arts.
Awards and Distinctions: Caulder was voted "Most Likely to Blow Up Half of Faerun" by his colleagues at Khaval Krognyte.
Quest - Caulder's Clinging Conflagration: I am researching a powerful new spell the idea for which was conceived during my earliest days as an academic when I was trying to fabricate a new and improved version of Alchemist's Fire. When completed, the spell will coat all targets in its area of effect with a flaming gel that sticks to the skin and burns for as long as a minute. I am constantly in search of rare reagents and obscure tomes that might assist me with my research. The list of books and reagents that I am hoping to acquire is fairly lengthy, and includes such odds and ends as the gizzard of a fire drake, the spleen of a lava mephit, the heart of a salamander, the eye of a magmin, and Otmer's Treatise on the Alchemical Properties of Oozes.
Quest - Caulder's Cataclysmic Conflagration: My true magnum opus will be a new spell called Caulder’s Cataclysmic Conflagration, which involves splitting tiny magical particles in order to unleash vast amounts of energy into the universe. I’m not quite sure how much energy will be released, and quite frankly, I am not overly concerned about it. The furtherance of my research is the important thing!

PERSONALITY BACKSTORY The legendary dwarven skald, Danzig Ulrik, passed away over a hundred years ago. On that day, his son Gunner Ulrik, mourned so deeply that he began to recite an epic dirge. The song was so powerful that it lasted nearly seventeen years without stopping. It was during the fifteenth year of that legendary recital that he conceived a son of his own, Jams. The day of his birth saw the completion of his father’s dirge. For having seen the birth of his son, Gunner passed away as well. It has been said by some that that legendary dirge, sung by his father, still echoes in the dwarf bard’s blood…
During his performances, he uses multiple prestidigitations to great effect, amplifying and distorting the sound of his greataxe-lute, as well as to conjure minor pyrotechnic displays and flashes of light. It has also become a fairly common sight, at the conclusion of his set, for Jams to smash his instrument on the ground. Sometime later he will use his mending cantrip to repair it. |

PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS BACKSTORY The first female agent of the Guild of Lettered Men, Lucida Blackletter is an expert in linguistics, ciphers, arcane magic, and martial study. She was top of her class at the University-Temple of Ioun and graduated with the distinguished title of Eldritch Knight-Errant. A struggling economy brought on by the boom-and-bust cycle of adventurers spending their plundered gold left her (along with much of her graduating class) without much prospect for gainful employment. So despite her stellar skills and education, she became an unpaid intern at the Guild of Lettered Men, an association of scribes and scriveners that handle the written affairs of both commoners and the nobility. For three years she labored, copying tomes and scrolls, taking dictation, and running menial errands for her superiors.
But the guild was no mere union of scribes. Lucida's talents soon caught the eye of the higher-ups of the guild, who revealed themselves to be a conspiracy - one that traded in information, both in acquiring it and delivering it, for well-heeled and connected clients all of whom paid quite well for secrecy and discretion when it came to their records and correspondence. Lucida soon after became the first female agent of the Guild of Lettered Men and works in the field, one of the most talented secret couriers in the kingdom.
In addition to encoding and delivering important messages across the land, she has been tasked with locating the whereabouts of the wizard Mondegreen, leader of an evil organization known as A.C.R.O.N.Y.M. Mondegreen is working on a scheme to erase the letter "E" from the multiverse, unleashing chaos among speakers of Common. Lucida thought she found him several times, but it turned out to be someone else that looked and sounded quite similar.

| #181AaronOfBarbariaOct 09, 2014 3:10:07 | Iserith, you really are a font of great names for characters. |
| #182iserithOct 09, 2014 6:56:06 | Thanks, but it's just a reflection of the times (new roman). Argh, that was weak...
I assume everyone does what I do and makes mental notes of combinations of regular words that would make good character names. |
| #183ChrisCarlsonOct 09, 2014 9:42:32 | After discussing, with my friends, possible themed characters for play in AL games, I'm thinking we may develop a troupe of entertainers.
Only, with a twist. Since Zhentarim is a legit option choice for faction, we may be doing a team of spies/assassins/thieves secretly working for the Zhents. With “troupe of entertainers” being our cover/day job. Sort of a Cirque du Scelerat if you will...
So I may be playing Jams Ulrik for reals. Along with a possible gnome ranger who uses trained gophers (or what have you) in his act. Maybe an elven acrobat (read: rogue-assassin). Who knows what else my friends will devise.
Anyone have suggestions for members of this troupe of ne’er-do-wells? |
| #184iserithOct 09, 2014 12:30:16 | Hex Arcana comes to mind for this sort of gig. He plays the fiddle and had a golden one till he lost it to Jahni Fiddler aka Falsetto Jones. |

Wynter Wynter [VIHN-tuur] was born in Thay, the son of a plantation worker who treated his slaves cruelly. More than 7 feet tall and a sturdily built, Wynter' equine body ressemble a glossy black-haired warhorse that started to pale with age. His humanlike torso also has inky-black hair that is cropped short except for one braid that hangs down on his back and he sports a closely trimmed black beard streaked with gray. His bare chest is tanned, muscular and hairless. Being a farmer by trade and a pacifist by nature, Wynter enters combat only when he is pressed. When doing so, he usually wears a breastplate and wield a pike in addition to kicking with front hooves. He'll fight only when he is given no other choice, or when someone he cares about would be in danger if he did not act. He is no coward, but if he or an Harper companion can talk or use his magic to achieve their ends instead, Wynter will prefer that way of operating. In a way, his attitude reflects his awareness of his capabilities. Wynter knows he can be deadly in combat, and so tries to avoid being forced to fight. He hates everything about the Red Wizard of Thay, including their malevolent politics, their vile magic, and their inhumane practice of taking and keeping slaves. Disgusted by his familys practices and the land that sponsors and encourages them, Wynter fled Thay when he was 12 years old. He joined the Harpers after meeting the druid Galvin and his best friend Brenna Greycloak during the 1370's DR and getting the druids help in catching some outlaws who had robbed him. On the mission to Amruthar, Wynter served as a guide, using his knowledge of the area and the culture to help his friends fit in. He was instrumental in defeating the plans of the Red Wizards Maligor and Szass Tam, and he even freed a number of slaves by posing as a buyer for the plantation his family worked. (This is an excellent example of using nonviolent means to achieve a desired end. Wynter didnt kick down the slave pens and fight the slavers; that would have blown his cover and ruined the Harpers mission.) Though his efficiency was reduced when he was indoors, his fighting skills were critical in allowing the heroes to reach their goal. Motivations/Goals: Wynters main concern is to keep the evils of Thay within the borders of that country. While he dislikes entering the country of his birth, he will do so for the Harpers, knowing that good (he hopes) will come of it. (More on Wynter can be read in the AD&D Heroes's Lorebook pg. 132) |

Diogeen "The Cliché" Callo
1st-level Half-Elf Warlock Medium Male Humanoid Speed 30 ft.
Str 10 (+0) Dex 14 (+2) Con 12 (+1)
Alignment chaotic good
TRAITS Proficiency (+2)
EQUIPMENT Light Crossbow w/ 20 bolts, Arcane Focus (cracked oak wand), dungeoneer's pack, Leather Armor, 2 daggers, quarterstaff, crowbar, dark clothes w/hood, belt pouch w/15 gold
Appearance: Neither handsome nor ugly, ruddy complexion, black hair & eyes, usually with bags under them (depending on how long it's been since the last time he slept). Medium height, medium weight and medium build. He blends into a crowd well, becoming all but invisible in a crowd of 4 or more people. He's never been "out-of-place" among any group of people, whether noble or common, urban or rural; possesses what you might call a "reflective" personality, where people see what they want to see in him, and he's very good as saying what people want to hear. Traits: I always have a plan for what to do when things go wrong. I am incredibly slow to trust; those who are good and worthy of trust should despise me and would strike to kill if they knew what I've done. Those who do not despise me cannot be good, no matter how they seem, and would betray me. Ideals: I will avenge those who cannot avenge themselves, even if I have to do evil to do so. Bond: My friend in the guard is dead because of me. His family, a wife and son, don't see it that way, but I do. I have arranged to provide them money anonymously (they believe it is from a "widow's fund" run by the city). Flaw: Nightmares prevent me from resting for more than an hour if I haven't killed recently. I also tend to scream in my sleep, waking my companions and anyone else nearby. Long Story made short: The long story: I was a petty criminal when the thieves guild I worked for sought to contact a dark god to secure more power. I don't mind the occasional involuntary redistribution of working capital, but they were getting into dark magic, human sacrafices, murder and politics. I betrayed them to a friend from my childhood that had joined the city guard.
Unfortunately, the guard I went to for justice was betrayed and murdered by the cult, along with the rest of the guards, when they tried to intervene. I went underground and when the ensuing treachery-fest came to a head, the cult was dead, the guards were dead and I stood alone, ankle-deep in blood and gore, face to face with one of the Great Old Ones that the cult had summoned.
The ritual was nearly complete. The power was already in motion. The... creature... was there, it's presence on our plane was tearing at the reality all around it, as if reality knew that this creature had no proper place and yet could not reject it. The cult's magics bound the creature in our world until a conduit was established, yet the thing's mere presence tore at the fabric of reality. I did the only thing I could do. I finished the ritual. I made the deal, became the conduit that the spell required and sent the thing back where it came from.
Since then, when I closed my eyes, I can hear it wispering. I couldn't sleep more than two hours in a row. It waits for me in my dreams. I can't remember them and I'm not sure I want to; I only remember waking up soiled and screaming. I learned the hard way to empty my stomach, bladder and bowels before I close my eyes. It started to get worse, until I could hear it wispering with my eyes open. The wispers got louder and louder until it I thought I could recognize it; it reminded me of my own night-time screams, but it sounded like I screamed in a language, yet I couldn't understand the words. I don't want to understand the words. The constant whispering made me irritable and the lack of sleep made me desperate. One night I was trying to drown the whispers in a dockside bar. Alcohol had never helped before, but I was trying to drink enough to either drown the whispers or drown myself. Drunk and exhausted, I tried to walk out to the dock and throw myself to the sharks. Unfortunately, I stumbled into the wrong sailor and got in a fight. The alcohol never did help, but fighting seemed to make it quieter for the first time in days.
Less than a day after, as I suffered from a hangover and bruising from the barfight, on top of my ever-present exhaustion, I was set upon by some thugs looking for gold. Instead, they found death, and I found the first silence I'd heard in weeks. Now, I do the only thing I can silence the whispers; I find those that deserve to die and I give them what they deserve. It likes that. Afterwards, I can usually sleep for more than just a couple hours, though it's still a troubled sleep and I wake screaming.
I recently found something that worries me. I tracked some local youth disappearances to a man with blood-stained, child-sized manacles in his basement. We found a goal we agreed on, the creature and I. I took my time. After nearly a day in his basement, when his screams had started to lose a little volume because so many had torn their way out of his throat, I fell asleep. I slept while he screamed, and for the first time since making the deal, it was uninterupted and without dreams. I don't know exactly, but I'm sure I slept for nearly a day. When I awoke, refreshed for the first time in months, the only sound I heard was the slow drip of blood from the already cold corpse chained to the wall by his own, disturbingly small manacles.
Now I'm not sure what's worse; living with the whispers, or knowing what I have to do to stop them. |

PERSONALITY
BACKSTORY Karl lived a privileged childhood. The oldest of four brothers to a Duke, he was given every benefit and advantage growing up. Perhaps that in part contributed to his lack of a desire to work so hard to follow in his father's footsteps. Joining the army, and becoming a decorated soldier, held absolutely no interest for the young man. One of the few things about courtly life that did interest him was the ready availability of unsatisfied ladies and all the eager-to-please handmaidens that travelled in their wake. But when the time came, his father ignored his disinterest for military service, insisting he join the Cormyrian Army. To honor his father, Karl reluctantly agreed. But it was no more than several months in that he knew he would only ever disappoint him if he tried to stick it out. So he did the only thing he could think to do. He left. That was over eight years ago now. And though he has not spoken to his father in over four years, he knows it must still sting him deeply. Perhaps someday he will be able to return home a hero. Perhaps that will be enough to stay his father's shame. It has to be. |

| #203Plaguescarred1Oct 26, 2014 6:12:56 |
Gorik Ungart Gorik [GO-rick] was born in Keep Havenskull 30 winters ago after an Orc raid left his mother, Qwynn Ungart, pregnant. Not to dishonor the Ungart clan, the patriarch allowed the young dwarven mother to carry the pregnancy to term and keep the child. Unfortunately she died while giving birth to this boulder of a baby, but Gorik was raised like any member of the clan. Taller than most dwarves, towering over 5 feet and weighting a massive 200 lb, Gorik is bald and covered of tribal tattoo of his clan history which he values highly (his ideal). He also wears a ragged grey beard. Gorik rapidly became the black sheep of his clan after gaining a bad reputation. Brutish and rowdy, especially when intoxicated, he will fight just about anyone and this caused him to visit the dungeon on several occasions. He has a ''visitor’s bracelet'' he claims, keeping half of a set of manacles. He gets a tattoo on his body and face every time he's been locked-up. Gorik is feared in the keep for his hot temper (his flaw) and love of alcohol (his bond), making things degenerating quickly quite often. Yet he still remains a loyal mercenary, willing to risk danger for gold and glory that can be counted on when the need arise. He volunteered to investigate the recent disappearances at the Crumbler Canyon mines with members of his clan. |

She doesn't do it for money, but pride, which she shows a lot. Welky is also an experts in all things mechanical and is adept at disarming traps, locks and other complex devices with a certain ease. She also like to delve into old ruins when off duty, exploring lost place and broken keeps of fallen kingdoms. Welky is short and stocky and has brown hair and usually keep her beard shaved. She wields 2 daggers and wears reinforced leather armor. She wears the typical facial makeup female dwarves often wear in Havenskull, tribal dethek runic markings relating to the history and achievements of the Ungart clan. Having recently heard of the interrupted activity in the Crumbler Canyon, she want to catch her current bounty before joining the expedition to investigate. She thinks her fighting and exploration skills could certainly help, not to mention she has family working in the mine, uncle Judlynn "Ol'J" Ungart, for which she worries and fears for the worse. |

Backstory: Gro was part of a Half-Orc town of bastard outcasts. His grandparents were exiled 53 years before his birth. His Grandfather was a blacksmith and traded often with Human settlements and took the name Smith as a way to create credibility. Gro's father died before he could teach him the ways of smithcraft and Gro was less than adept to try himself. This was hard on Gro and he traveled to Neverwinter to find work and a purpose. He found work in the Neverwinter guard service and protected the streets and adventurers from ruffians, bandits, goblins, and the like. This has been a good outlet for Gro as he's always felt he had some anger to take out on others. |

PERSONALITY “I am always calm, no matter what the situation. I never raise my voice or let my emotions control me.” Bond: “Everything I do, I do in the name of the church.” Flaw: “Once I set upon a goal, I become obsessed with it. Sometimes to the detriment of everything else in my life.”
BACKSTORY Le’thael was born to an elven mother and human father nearly 40 years ago. Having no memory of his parents, he was taken in and raised by the high elf priests and monks of the church on Velanthomyr, the Golden Isle. The monks and priests of his order have always refused or avoided speaking to the circumstances surrounding his birth and subsequent adoption by the church. Early in his youth, it became apparent he was a uniquely gifted child. Even more striking given his "deluded" blood. Marked by the gods, Le’thael (meaning “Given of the Gods” in elvish) was soon swept into the Order of the Unseen to train, and later serve, as an esteemed Hand of the Gods. Even in such an exclusive and demanding faction as the Unseen, he continued to excel. His skills and dominance eventually earned him the nickname, the Pallid Ghost. Now, Le’thael serves as a clandestine agent of the church, eliminating problems and maintaining the status quo. The needs of the church demand it. And Le’thael knows only to serve. Unquestioningly. |

Ataway
Ataway [atta-WAY] is a Durpari female native with long dark hair and eyes, facial tattoos and feathers she wears as customs of her people. Born in Durpar in 1471 DR, Ataway worships the Adama, the Durparian concept of a world spirit that embraces and enfolds the divine essence that is part of all beings, known as Curna, goddess of wisdom. Ataway embarked on pilgrimage to an Oghma temple in the Heartland, who is most notably known as, to enter its congregation and share knowledge for the sages of the Library of Curna. The Library of Curna in the Curna Mountains, also known as the Mountains of Wisdom in the Shining South holds the most prominent center of scholarship and worship of Oghma in the guise of Curna. Its contents are said to differ from Candlekeeps in that they focus more on current events, business, and naturalistic studies that Candlekeeps collection, whose strength is by far in historical works. Ataway is a shaman excelling in charm enchantment magic. |

Personality
From that day onward, Hank told the dead man's adventures as his own, spreading rumors of a Suave rogue known through out the world as "Swanky Hank McArthur Esquire the IV,". He would lie, cheat, and con to get ahead, using his charming good looks to swindle.
----- This Character should be legal by AL Standards. I used the starting wealth and standard array for stats. ----- *Lil' backstory on Hank. Hank was an NPC, in a campaign between myself a couple of friends. That was how he started out anyways. Originally, our DM at the time needed a name for a couple of characters who our (at-thetime) rogue was playing (cheating) against at Dice in a small pub, in a small inconsequential farming village we were passing through. After a few decent rolls, our Rogue (we'll call him Swarmy), had cheated 3 pig farming commoners out of about 15 SP. Nothing impressive, but he made a big deal out of it during break.
We at the table were growing of tired Swarmy, he was supposed to be playing a Neutral-Good rogue who stole from those who had robbed others for their wealth and power. We all guessed that the power went to his head. During a break, we as a group had a small discussion while Swarmy's player ran for Pizza. Upon returning to the game, the DM gave Swarmy plenty of chances to reflect on his swindling, and when Swarmy decided to spend the 15 SP on a night with a bar wench. We all agreed that we gave Swarmy plenty of chances. After a few days of downtime within the village, while the DM prepared for the next chapter of our collective adventure, a random NPC happened upon a drunken Swarmy one evening, attempting to privately do his bodily business in an alleyway. Hank of course got Surprise, a natural critical with both attacks, max damage on all 4 rolls plus an added "sneak attack", was all it took to take Swarmy down to 0, thanks to an early pub brawl already having tooken a small chunk of his over-all health points.
As swarmy's player sat there, partially mortified, partially growing angrier with each failed death save, swarmy was stripped, buried and left to die in a shallow, unmarked grave in a known goblin territory.
Thus, Hank, went from being an NPC to becoming Swanky Hank McArthur Esquire the IV, a rogue we heard many rumors of through out our travels. Needless to say, Swarmy's player missed a few weeks, but eventually came back to play a character with a better attitude. |

Backstory
---- This NPC can be used for any Campaign. Originally built for the Forgotten Realms. ---
Hilda is an NPC that sets herself a part. She came to be a couple months back, when a group I was playing with had stopped at an Inn that sat just north of the Triboar Trail, on the Sword Coast. The evening has been pretty quiet, our party just escaping out of a coastal storm that had manifested self earlier in the afternoon. Our party was exhausted from travel, and all we wanted to do was sit in front of a fire with something warm to drink. We were introduced to Hilda Greenhill, a sweet older halfling woman who managed the Inn with her husband, Edward. As a group, we probably spent a good half hour out of game time, just enjoying the Inn, roleplaying conversations with a few other patrons and a traveling provisioner. After an hour or two in-game, the DM decided that our characters were in need of sleep, the exhaustion and days of travel taking their toll on us. We were all enthusiastic to be able to sleep in an actual bed for the first time in almost 2 tendays time.
As a surprise, the DM decided that we would not get a full nights rest, only 4 hours of short rest. This didn't take care of our exhaustion, so the DM decided that Hilda and Edward would be able to take part of a night time encounter. It wasn't a particular difficult encounter, 8 goblins against a 4 member party, all at level 2. We were disadvantaged though.
If it wasn't for Hilda though, we would have been very hard pressed to finish the battle without quite a lot of issues. That trusty frying pan of her managed to scramble 2 goblins' brains and break the face of a third before we as the party were able to take even the first goblin out.

Backstory:
Ruthless, power-obssessed and spoiled rotten, Alice is the embodiement of the worst qualities of the noble class. Her father, lord Malchior Noctis Liddell was a powerful noble and court mage in one of the most powerful kingdoms in *insert world/setting name here.* His first, and only daughter, Alice was raised from day one to believe that she was better then everybody else and that she was entitled to rule over the massed. Pampered, spoiled and overindulged in the extreme, whatever she wanted, she got, and much to her father's pleasures she proved to excell in her studies. A naturally curious child, she was always wanting to know how things worked and things in the world where the way they are. So she often researched, but also tended to...experiment...on small animals. Alice's behavior as a small child was....sometimes troubeling to her family, to say the least. Initally our of curosity, she would take small animals found her family's palace whether it be mice or birds or whatever other creature was unlucky enough to stumble in and torture them, often in gruesome ways. She would claim it was because she wanted to know what would happen if she did x thing to the animal, and due to her very young age and lack of understanding her father, while somewhat troubled, decided that it was just a case of her curosity being misplaced. Deciding she needed a better outlet for her intelligent mind Malchior decided to start teaching magic. He started by teaching her the fundementals himself, training her the massive arcane labratory within his demiplane.... but as he grew more involved in the nation's politics and extraplanar affairs it became apparent he needed she needed a teacher that could work with her full time.
Thus, he sent her off to the world's most prestigous wizarding acadamy, trying to enroll her well before she reached the age at which students where usually allowing to enter the school, using both his influence as a powerful wizard and noble as well as her test results, which had proved on paper what he knew for a long time...that his daughter was a once in a lifetime child prodegy. This, combind with the significant influence Malchior had as a powerful noble lead to Alice being the youngest student ever to be admited to the academy, and she took like a fish to water when she began to study wizardry. However, while her studies kept her busy, they didn't rid her of her darker qualites as her father had hoped, but rather enhanced them. While skilled with them, Alice was quite...bored...by the typical paths of wizardry. While most students where conent in their lessons and did things like hang out and play games in their spair time Alice had a deep intrest in...darker lore. The school had a very low opinion of the "dark arts" and made things like fiend binding and espcially Necromancy out to be taboo, dangerous and magics that no budding spellcaster should pursue. This only proved to make Alice more interested in such magics. Curious as to "why" the school was saying such things where so bad, Alice sought out such lore while other students where relaxing. Using the cuteness that came with her young age, skill with words and natural charm she would often "sit in" on the study sessions of faculty and others that where allowed into the "adults only" section of the library. She would talk with them, get frendly with them and eventually became good friends with a paticular faculty member, Professor Charles Lutwidge. Charles Lutwidge was the school's leading expert on Necromancy, and as a result was mistrusted and disliked among his colleuges. He was deeply passionate about his specalized branch of magic and as a result the rest of the school saw him as...well...weird. In Alice, however, he had somebody who actually gave him the time of day. Somebody who liked talking with him, and whom he liked talking to. Alice, too, found his morbid sense of humor, dry wit, deep intrest in forbidden lore and the lovely, sometimes crazy stories and poems he wrote to be very entertaining. The two of them formed a close bond that you could call a friendship, though a deeply unusual one due to the age difference between the professor and Alice.
Alice used this friendship as a means to an ends. Getting her hand on all kinds of necromantic lore courtesy of Charles was easy. He let her borrow all the forbidden books of dark lore in his name, all she had to do to check them out was claim that she was getting the books to deliever to the professor of necromancy and they let her pass. She filled her spellbook with all kinds of dark lore. Toyed, experimented, and became deeply wrapped up in the dark arts....and then, it all ended. The school had become....uneasy..about the connection between Charles and Alice, and came to believe that the relationship was one that was much more..depraved...then it actually was. The school banned Alice from speaking to Professor Charles Lutwidge, and he was promptly investigated. While they found no eveidence of the crimes they thought he was committing, they did find eveidence of others. Professor Lutwidge was in fact behind several missing students cases that happened a while back....the missing students found as vile, pulsating undead abominations floating in vats of sickly green liquid in Professor Lutwidge's private quarters. Even further, said hidden lab was full of notes...on a disease...a terryfying "biological weapon" that could spread like a disease turn masses of people into horrific undead monstrosities...when it was complete. Thankfully, it was not completed, and Professor Lutwidge was stripped of his position at the school and to be sent off to be charged for crimes in his own kingdom. which happened to be the same one Alice was from.
On the day that Professor Lutwidge was to be sent away to be tried, Alice got a message that her father was comming to see her with important news. Shocked, but intrigued, Alice met her father. He immedatly told her to get her things and leave with him, which she promptly did, but she questions his seirous and harsh mood. When they left the school, they didn't return home. Rather, they returned to....her father's demiplane, where she was surpised to see ex-professor Charles Lutwidge also waiting. He was scared stiff, and when Alice asked why he was here Malchior simply said "he has one last lesson to teach you" and with that he cast pointed his finger right at the professor and he dropped dead right before Alice's eyes, his body rotting at a rapid pace and transforming into a terrifying zombie. Malchior then turned to Alice and said "That, my daughter, was a spell called finger of death. It's considered one of the most powerful and dangerous spells a necromancer can learn. If you want to survive to learn it, you will do exactly what Mr Lutwidge didn't...be careful." Then Malchior told Alice the truth. He was himself, a specalist in the school of necromancy, but unlike Mr. Lutwidge hid his involvement with the dark arts. He claimed that he came to the study of the art out of curosity, but realized that it's applications could be helpful to his kingdom. He said that he, as the kingdom's foremost necromancer was doing things that the kingdom could not do in the open to forward the sovrigen's influence. Charles Lutwidge, he claimed, was a former student, and he was helping him desgine the aformentioned disease weapon to be used by their kingdom as a weapon of mass destruction to use against their enemies. He said, however, that Charles Lutwidge was not careful enough...he did not hide his activities well...he was, as Malchior said, smart, but a moron at the same time....but in Alice he saw qualites he lacked. He praised Alice's brillance in courting him for his secrects and befriending professors....and how despite her connection to him she was able to get the entire school to think she was a sweet, innocent little thing being taken advantage of by the professor rather then an acomplice to his deeds. He said she had what it took to, be like him, a shadow agent of the kingdom, doing the dark deeds that the more wholesome elements of the kingdom didn't have the stomach to do but none the less needed to be done. He then told her that the kingdom needed more people like her to gain and solidify power around the larger world, and to that end Malchior had decided now was the time for Alice to do what her father had always planned for her to do. Malchior told Alice that, as an adventurer she could pursue power and gain dark knowladge that could not be had in the acadamy or the courts of the kingdom. She could acssess dark tomes and find vile secrects no respectful person would dare touch in the dank, dark dungons of evil cuts and vile monsters. She could be both Malchior's hand, and the hand of her kingdom in the larger world, and Malchior stated outright that the King had told him he had an intrest in gaining more dark lore and black magic to use against enemies in secrect. As a result, Malchior asked Alice if she wanted to pursue the life of adventure, seeking out dark lore in dangrous places, gaining power and influence and defending her king, or go back to the acadamy where she could continue her life of being told what she can and can't study. Alice without hesitation chose the former, and with a generous purse as well as basic supplies provided by her father she set out into the larger world in the name of king, country and necromancy.
Adventure League Legality: Alice is actually Adventures League legal provided she is a member of either the Lord's Alliance or Zhentarim. From a fluff standpoint the Lord's Alliance is likely the best fit, though you can choose either-or if you wish to play her.

Backstory:
Scion of House Calem and loyal servant of the Dragon God Bahamut, Lilly is an examplar of the idealized image of the noble class. Born into a life of excess and luxery, Lilly never wanted for anything growing up and indeed in another life she may very well have become a spoiled brat; however in this one her father, Lucius Seraphis Calem III made very sure he would raise his daughter right. While her life was one of plenty, the materal excess in which she found herself was tempered by a rigerous, demanding and discipined household in which all knees bent at the name of Bahamut. Put through a challanging academic, spirtual and martial education Lilly's childhood was constantly filled with work despite her station. She was not worked to death, mind you; Lilly was allowed to have her fun, however Lucius always made sure that she knew the value of hard work and was constantly training her mind, body and soul to be a tool of Bahamut's justice in the world. As a child she proved to have a quick temper and be quite an assertive young lady, and as a result took naturally to the more martial side of her education. She was a passionate warrior, but one who's passion and rage where tempered by the discipline of father and her faith.
Indeed, Lilly was born and raised in her faith, as her father while a powerful lord was also himself a Cleric of Bahamut and former adventurer of some renown. Growing up, Lilly longed to hear tales of her father's adventures and know all the great things he did, yet for some reason he always give the same repply about the importance of living in the present and not dwelling in the past or future for too long. However, what Lilly didn't know was that her father was hiding something much larger from her. So as she grew older, she lived blissfully unaware, one foot in the lavish world of a young aristocraric socialite and the other in the austier serenity of the faith of Bahamut, and while the former was fun the latter ultimatly drew her in. At age 15 Lilly was offcially no longer an acolyte; she had become a full-fledged priestess of Bahamut, and had become quite the talk of the town as a result. While most praised her, there where hushed whispers and rummors that her unusually young induction was due to the politcal and financial clout of her father. To make matters worse, members of the church of Bahamut had been murdered, as well as two close friends of Lilly's,and rummors started to point to Lilly's father as the cause. Indeed, for quite some time, there had been acusations against Lucius that his growing detachment from the world around him was due to...darker persuits. Some even acused him to being under the influence of the cult of Tiamat, trying to bring down the faith of Bahamut from within due to the...intrest...he had seem to take in the dark faith. He spend hours pouring over tomes related to tiamat, muttered prayers to tiamate to himself while walking through hallways, and had even kept a holy symbol of Tiamat sitting in a dark corner of his study. Rummors floated all around and while the church mantained Lucius's goodness the court started to mistrust him. Two of Lilly's cherished friends where dead and the rest began to slowly peel away as her family name became shrouded in darkness and her father became...deeply distrusted. This hurt Lilly deeply, and she started becomming more...bitter. She struggled against anger and rage on an almost daily basis, and while she had always had a temper and had been an assertive young lady got now got worse. She started focusing deeply on her martial training to purge the anger at the sensless murder of her friends and the situation with her father...and prayed to Bahamut daily for guidence. Her dreams, too, became increasingly dark, filled with chromatic dragons feasting on the flesh of metalic ones and even further her father locked in a bloody battle with Tiamat herself. She reached out to Bahamut, and got her answer. In her dreams, a silver dragon, a messinger of Bahamut, told her to confront her father openly and honestly, and voice her concerns to him...then..everything would become clear.
So Lilly confronted her father and he told her the truth. Like Lilly herself, he had been sent a message from Bahamut in his dreams and it was a clear one: an old enemy from his adventuring days was going to re-surface, and that he had feared that this enemy would one day target not only him, but his family as well. The enemy in question? A cultist of Tiamat who had mannaged to escape a near-death encounter with Lucian's party, and he assured Lilly that both the Church of Bahamut and he knew with 100% certanty that the murdered clerics where killed by the cult of Tiamat. Lucian, as a church inqusitor, was tasked with rooting out internal threats to the church and hidden evil and his new found "intrest" in Tiamat's faith was not due to their infuence but rather was out of duty, he was the one tasked with finding out who the hidden tiamat cultists that caused the murders where, and he was onto some very fruitful leads. So fruitful, in fact, that he feared it put his family in danger. Seeing the fact Lilly's friends where murdered shortly after the cult murders of Bahamut Clerics, Lucian had come to believe the cultists where sending a message to him that if penned, he believed would read something like this "Your daughter's next, inqusitor." Our of concern and love for his daughter, Lucian told Lilly that he had planned on sending her away from his household, but had yet to tell her. He apologized for not being more..open..about what was going on and his plans, but he said he was doing it for her own safty and well-being. At first, Lilly didn't want to leave, but then she realized she had no choice; the warnings of her God that had come to both her father and herself in dreams could not be ignored, and her father had done much to prepare. So, that day Lilly was loosed onto the larger world, being given a position in the *insert faction of choice here* due in no small part to her father's influence, and now is off to grow stronger and bring Bahamut's justice to a world that sorely needs it.
Adventure League Legality:
Lilly is totally 100% adventure league legal, and can find her home among any faction she wants. From a fluff standpoint I think she would work best in either the Lord's Alliance or the Order of the Gauntlet, however, if you plan on playing her faction choice is yours in the end.

Backstory
------- Not 100% sure this is AL Legal. I had to take two Racial Traits from Pathfinders, as I don't have the new DMG as of yet. This can be edited ever so slightly though to remove those. I used the standard array for stats and the Racial Modifiers from 3.5. Again, these can be edited. I didn't know whether to go with Goblin's Hit Dice or the Clerics. I decided to use Clerics but this can be edited if needed. I used the Starting Wealth for Cleric. Can be Lawful-Evil with Lord's Alliance.
Backstory is free to be changed as needed. ------
Skur was born from a Campaign in which everyone wanted to play monsters. The first part of the campaign consisted of us helping an Evil wizard, in traping a group of low-level adventurers within the Wizard's dungeon. From there, it went on in pretty much the same way any campaign would, except- we fought monsters AND advenurers + normal NPC's. The goal our campaign/ group was to help a demon lord rise to power and enslave the Humans, Dwarves, Elves, Halflings, etc. Skur just happens to be one of my favorites. |

BACKSTORY Blackeye the half-orc archer is a dirty, no-good scoundrel; a weird, bumpy wart on the backside of your adventuring party that just won't go away. A highwayman and thief of dubious ability, Blackeye is nevertheless utterly convinced of his own superiority, and will not hesitate to inform everyone around him how amazing he is at all times. When not bragging about himself, he's making fun of everyone else. No situation is safe from his sarcastic commentary – no matter how sensitive or important. That being said, his colorful language and gregarious nature lends a certain appeal, should you share his total lack of decency.
In battle Blackeye cheers his every success, jeers every opponent's failure, and loyally – if begrudgingly – defends his allies. While loathe to follow orders, Blackeye will jump at any opportunity to demonstrate just how helpful, necessary, and wonderful his skills are. When things go wrong, he's more often confused than angry.
Long ago Blackeye accidentally shot his favorite arrow into some drow rogue, who ran off with it still stuck in her shield. He never managed to track her down, and to this day searches for his arrow.

Favorite Songs
Background: Ollum from an early age always loved the stories of old heroes. He would read every history, every Fable he could get his hands on. One particular Dwarf hero stood out to Ollum, Hamish Hammersong, a Dwarf who would soar into song and get the entire tavern singing along, A hero that would lay low any Threat with Hard hits from his hammer, always ready with sharp wit and a song of the victory. At least that is how Ollum describes it…. Ollum wants desperately to be a famous hero just like Hamish. Often called a dreamer by his father, Ollum just smiles and says, that the world needs more heroes and "I will be one of them". Having Collected history books of heroic tales, including the complete histories of Hammish (The Hammersong chronicles) . Ollum considers himself quite the expert on heroes. Dwarven especially, but is also familiar with Human, Elf, Halfling heroes as well. Try as he might to be a good dwarf and work in the clan forge or mine, Ollum just always dreams of leaving to the wider world and finding his own way. After an evening of story telling and singing to the local clan a few of his younger friends started to tease him about his own tales of failed labor, another round of drinks served, and a mine not striking a vein. Taking it in stride Ollum simply said "Aye, to be sure I've places to see, wonders to behold, Dragons to slay, Maids to woo, and Artifacts to find." Laughing one of the friends suggested he find the missing Hammersong! Fabled artifact of the clan." I can and will do just that" he boldly claimed. To all he promised that night to return with the Hammersong or die trying. To a Dwarf the raucous crowd cheered Ollum and drank a pint to wish the dreamer Ollum well and be on his way. With this goal in mind It is time to go out to the wider world and make a name for himself, write his own tales, and sing his own songs.

BACKSTORY Shadai’hulan was born to a tribe of jungle-dwelling halflings calling themselves the Tulteks. For untold generations, the Tulteks survived in complete isolation on a dinosaur infested island off the coast of Maztica. All of that ended when a group of Watedhavian explorers made landfall on the island. Believing that these strangers were gods, the Tulteks offered them shelter and engaged in open trade with them. As the son of the chieftain, Shadai’hulan expressed a great deal of curiosity about the giant Waterdhavian sailing vessels moored off the shore of the island. The Watedhavians obliged him by inviting him aboard one of their vessels. In the meantime, a separate crew was exploring the ruins of an abandoned temple within the depths of the jungle. Within the temple, they discovered a giant golden statue of a winged snake with two enormous rubies for eyes. Unable to believe their good fortune, the Waterdhavians proceeded to clamber up the statue and pry out the eyes. As soon as one of the eyes came free, a great tremor shook the island. Shadai’hulan was enjoying a tour of the Waterdhavian’s ship when the great Fire Mountain erupted without any warning, killing every living being on the island. The crew of the ship reacted quickly, drawing up their anchor and sailing into the open sea as the island burned on the horizon. Shadai’hulan grew belligerent, believing that the Watedhavians had angered the gods of the island and thereby brought about the destruction of his people. The crew responded by clapping the little savage in chains, and then selling him to the fighting pits as soon as they arrived in Waterdeep. Although he fought like a demon, he would have eventually died in the pits were it not for the timely intervention of a dwarven paladin named Dardon Dourstone. Shadai’hulan befriended the dwarf and eventually came to consider him as a member of his extended tribe. |

Dwarven Armor Training: You have proficiency with light and medium armor.
Divine Sense: The presence of strong evil registers on your senses like a noxious odor, and powerful good rings like heavenly music in your ears. As an action, you can open your awareness to detect such forces. Until the end of your next turn, you know the location of any celestial, fiend, or undead within 60 feet of you that is not behind total cover. You know the type (celestial, fiend, or undead) of any being whose presence you sense, but not its identity. Within the same radius, you also detect the presence of any place or object that has been consecrated or desecrated, as with the hallow spell. You can use this feature a number of times equal to 1 + your Charisma modifier. When you finish a long rest, you regain all expended uses.
Lay on Hands: Your blessed touch can heal wounds. You have a pool of healing power that replenishes when you take a long rest. With that pool, you can restore a total number of hit points equal to your paladin level x 5. As an action, you can touch a creature and draw power from the pool to restore a number of hit points to that creature, up to the maximum amount remaining in your pool. Alternatively, you can expend 5 hit points from your pool of healing to cure the target of one disease or neutralize one poison affecting it. You can cure multiple diseases and neutralize multiple poisons with a single use of Lay on Hands, expending hit points separately for each one. This feature has no effect on undead and constructs.
Fighting Style - Dueling: When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.
Divine Smite: When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can expend one paladin spell slot to deal radiant damage to the target. In addition to the weapon’s damage. The extra damage is 2d8 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d8 for each spell level higher than 1st, to a maximum of 5d8. The damage increases by 1d8 if the target is an undead or a fiend.
Divine Health: The divine magic flowing through you makes you immune to disease.
Spellcasting: You have learned to draw on divine magic through meditation and prayer to cast divine spells as a cleric does.
Preparing and Casting Spells: To cast one of your paladin spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. You prepare the list of paladin spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the paladin spell list. When you do so, choose a number of paladin spells equal to your Charisma modifier + half your paladin level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of paladin spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
Spellcasting Focus: You can use a holy symbol as a spellcasting focus for your paladin spells.
Spell Save DC: 8 + proficiency bonus + Charisma modifier = 13
Spell Attack Modifier: proficiency bonus + Charisma modifer = +5
Spells Prepared: Protection from Evil and Good, Sanctuary, Bless, Command, Cure Wounds, Shield of Faith, Thunderous Smite

Oath of Devotion: The Oath of Devotion binds a paladin to the loftiest ideals of justice, virtue, and order. Sometimes called cavaliers, white knights, or holy warriors, these paladins meet the ideal of the knight in shining armor, acting with honor in pursuit of justice and the greater good. They hold themselves to the highest standards of conduct and some, for better or worse, hold the rest of the world to the same standards. Many who swear this oath are devoted to gods of law and good and use their gods’ tenets as the measure of their devotion. They hold angels--the perfect servants of good--as their ideals, and incorporate images of angelic wings into their helmets or coats of arms.
Tenets of Devotion: Though the exact words and strictures of the Oath of Devotion vary, paladins of this oath share these tenets:
Oath Spells: Once you gain access to an oath spell, you always have it prepared. Oath spells don’t count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. If you gain an oath spell that doesn’t appear on the paladin spell list, the spell is nonetheless a paladin spell for you.
Channel Divinity: Your oath allows you to channel divine energy to fuel magical effects. When you use your Channel Divinity, you choose which option to use. You must then finish a short or long rest to use your Channel Divinity again. Some Channel Divinity effects require saving throws. When you use such an effect from this class, the DC equals your paladin spell save DC.
Sacred Weapon: As an action, you can imbue one weapon that you are holding with positive energy, using your Channel Divinity. For 1 minute, you add your Charisma modifier to attack rolls made with that weapon (with a minimum bonus of +1). The weapon also emits bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light 20 feet beyond that. If the weapon is not already magical, it becomes magical for the duration. You can end this effect on your turn as part of any other action. If you are no longer holding or carrying this weapon, or if you fall unconscious, this effect ends.
Turn the Unholy: As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer censuring fiends and undead, using your Channel Divinity. Each fiend or undead that can see you or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes damage. A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can’t willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can’t take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there’s nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.
PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS
Trait 1: When I set my mind to something, I follow through no matter what gets in my way. Trait 2: I can stare down a hellhound without flinching. Ideal: Honor. If I dishonor myself, I dishonor my whole clan. (Lawful) Bond: I would die to discover the whereabouts of an ancient artifact. Flaw: I am dogmatic in my thoughts and philosophy. Appearance: Cranulf appears as a grizzled old dwarf with a hulking physique. He has a knot of long, white hair bound back with a steel clasp, and a braided white beard. He has icy blue eyes, and his stony features bear the scars of many battles. Blue tattoos cover his face and scalp. He wears a gleaming suit of steel-blue plate mail with gold highlights. A golden hammer sparkling with electricity is emblazoned on his steel-blue shield--the symbol of the Stormhammers.
BACKSTORY A group prayer delivered by Cranulf right before entering Venomfang’s tower: "Let us bow our heads in supplication to the All-Father: Lord, I humbly beseech thee to look with favor upon these thine servants; Though they wear the forms of halflings and elves and other prancin’ fairy folk, In truth, their hearts are wrought of steel and stone as befits any true son of the mountain; Grant them the strength of arms to bathe in the blood of their enemies, That the heavens might be festooned with the entrails of all who stand against them. Hu-yah!" Cranulf hails from the dwarven city of Strakheln nestled deep within the Titan Peaks. He is a veteran campaigner who served with the Stormhammers during the Skullcrusher Wars. As a soldier, Cranulf saw more than his share of action against the endless waves of orcs and giants who hurled themselves against the impregnable Shieldwall which guards the northern approaches to the city of Strakheln. During one particularly brutal engagement, Cranulf was struck in the head by a large boulder lobbed over the parapets by a hulking one-eyed frost giant. As he lay in a deep swoon, Cranulf experienced a vision in which Moradin the All-Father appeared to him as a giant face on the side of a mountain. In deep, mournful tones, the All-Father revealed the fate that awaited his children in years to come--the slow decline and the eventual extinction of the dwarven race until naught but the crumbling ruins of their once-mighty strongholds remained to mark their passing. A crushing sense of despair settled on Cranulf then, but the All-Father revealed that all was not yet lost. He exhorted Cranulf to seek out an artifact known as the Covenant Stone, upon which were graven the Seven Secrets of the Earth. Armed with these secrets, the dwarves would reclaim their lost glory, ringing in a new golden age for the Children of Moradin--an age that would last for more than a thousand years. When Cranulf came to, he found himself in a makeshift hospice surrounded by other injured dwarves. The citizens of Strakheln were in the midst of a grand celebration to honor their final victory over the orcs and giants of the Skullcrusher horde. Springing up from his cot, Cranulf immediately demanded an audience with the king. Despite the protestations of the clerics who were tending him, he barreled his way through the city and into the Great Hall, interrupting the king at his celebratory feast. His head swaddled in thick bandages, Cranulf repeated the dire pronouncements of the All-Father in feverish tones, insisting that the king must call for a grand crusade in order to recover the lost Covenant Stone. A long moment of silence followed his extraordinary disquisition. This was followed shortly by a tremendous roar as the entire assemblage of thanes and royals burst into peals of raucous laughter. A crimson-faced cleric arrived moments later to escort Cranulf back to his cot, apologizing profusely to the gathered lords and ladies for the interruption. From that moment on, Cranulf became an object of pity and ridicule throughout the city of Strakheln. As soon as he was well enough to travel, he gathered up his arms and armor, and silently bade farewell to the only home he had ever known. Somewhere beyond the horizon lay the artifact known as the Covenant Stone, and Cranulf was determined to find it or die trying. |

Proficiencies (+2)
TRAITS & FEATURES
SKILLS
ATTACKS
EQUIPMENT (approx. 103 lb)
Brenelda was born and grew up on a farm near Overstone and she knows the surrounding countryside well. She has an unusual birthmark on her right arm, shaped like a lion's paw. One day, whilst walking alone in the woods near her home, she met an angelic being who was sent by the goddess Eldath herself and who revealed that the lion's paw mark is a sign of divine favour. The angel pronounced that Brenelda had a great destiny as a guardian of the lands and a peacemaker between the peoples who dwelt there. As a result of this, she has became quite well-known in the locality and is treated with some awe by the people who live in and around Overstone. Seeking to fulfil her destiny, she has become a ranger dedicated to preserving the lands and the flora and fauna from evildoers in general and invading goblins in particular. She believes that small bands of goblins have been infiltrating the district, scouting out the lie of the land as a precursor to a large-scale invasion from the north but she has yet to find convincing evidence of their presence locally. Sometimes she is frustrated, feeling that she is achieving too little, and resorts to drinking. When she is in town, she frequents the Painted Goat alehouse in Overstone and boasts that she can drink any three men under the table. When drunk (as she frequently is), she is apt to stare into the bottom of her flagon of ale and make doom-laden pronouncements which disconcert the other drinkers because they believe she is a soothsayer. Some people suspect that there is something going on between her and Wynlard, the innkeeper at the Painted Goat. Brenelda worships at the temple of Eldath, the NG goddess of peace, in Overstone. Followers there are required to wear a red headband on holy days and to pray to the north at 7 o'clock every morning. |

C-06 C-06 [C-ho-SIX] was manufactured sometimes in 986 YK in an underground House Cannith facility in Cyre, he doesn't know exactly when and where as Its memory was wpied out not to compromise House Cannith and the warforged building program WBP-7713. He is a massive humanoid molded from a composite of materials—iron, glass, darkwood, and other organic material and has no physical distinction of gender, but is customized with a single large glass eye at the center of its head. A small silver tag C-06 is also burinated on his backhead. C-06 fought with Cyrian forces during the Last War but was lost in Karrnwood during a battle against Karrnathi. He was discovered inactive and half buried by a gnome artificer named Qwryin Dorfen during an expedition in Thrane in late 998 YK. Heavily damaged and rusted, C-06 was unearthed, dusted off, repaired and put back in operation by Qwryin. During the 2 years period he was refurbished, C-06 was also teached gnomish and how to play dragonchess, which he became remarkably good at. He recently left to adventure and discover Khorvaire on his own... |

When she recovered, she left her village for the frigid mountains to seek wisdom whereupon, after a perilous journey that lasted four years, she found a ruined monastery once dedicated to the study of healing and medicine. There she found her calling as a practitioner of the healing and martial arts. She honed her skills and, seven years later, descended from the mountains with a mysterious blank book and the certain knowledge that it would someday lead her to the Staff of Asclepius - a holy artifact in the form of a serpent winding around a central rod which is the world's only hope to avoid a dark time brought about by the scrofulous cultists of the crone, Talona.

BACK STORY Trey was orphaned shortly after learning to walk when the Order of the Gauntlet discovered a demonic cult run by his parents. Lord Killen, a noble with a fairly modest estate, was injured during the battle and left with only one leg. Due to the demonic nature of the injury and the time it took to get him to a healer, the leg could not be magically replaced and Lord Killen retired from field work to help train new warriors from his estate. As he and his wife had no children, Trey was sent with him to be raised.
So, with the exception of his very first year, Trey grew up at Paladin School. His first "toy" was a shield that he could barely lift and he learned how to give himself stitches before he learned to read. Cheerful to an extreme and always getting into mischief, he became quite popular within the order and rather well known. Even when Lord and Lady Killen started to have children of their own (the rest and a steady diet did Lord Killen more good than all the magical healing ever did), Trey was seen as a child of the Order, and nearly everyone that spent time training under Lord Killen became his Aunt or Uncle.

BACKSTORY
(Just my take on a viking character)
edit: (and it seems I made a lot of little mistakes, I will fix them as I see them.)
edit2: should be good and AL legal. I took a quick read through the AL guide, but someone who actually plays AL may want to confirm. All in all it's probably not much different from most barbarians, but I notice in this edition and point buy there isn't going to be *too* much variance. |

His father a great Archdruid remained in the desolate forest to maintain and protect on of the last remaining Circle of the Moon temples of Earlann. Rawrk began his lessons in the ways of the druid upon his 104th birthday. After 10 years of training he had learned enough from his father and soon after with the blessing of his family, he decided to leave the confines of his secluded home and explore the world. He spends the next 150 years visiting distant towns and great cities learning all that he can from the people he meets. He now suffers from retrograde amnesia after a traumatic event involving a bit of curiosity and a prophecy protected by ancient and unintelligible magics. He was taken in when a monastery found him being feral in the wilderness. There they healed his wounds and sent him out to the world. One day, many years later in meditation he had a recollection of the prophecy and his role in it as a protector of the chosen. He soon hears that the chosen may have been found and sets out to join them as his destiny awaits. |

Rankin 1st-Level Mountain Dwarf Rogue (Noble)
FEATURES & TRAITS PROFICIENCIES
EQUIPMENT
PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS
Backstory
Rankin is a typical dwarf from a noble household. He has three older brothers and as tradition dictates, his eldest brother went into politics, the second went into the army and the third went into the Moradin's service. As the fourth son, he was permitted to take any path he wished with his life, and promptly made no decision at all. His one true passion and the only thing he dedicated himself to was the Dwarven sport, Tunnel Ball.
Tunnel Ball is a fairly simple team sport played by two opposing teams of three dwarves in a ten foot wide corridor. Goal lines are placed 100 paces apart, a leather bag full of sand is placed in the middle. Teams start in their own goal and at the sound of the hammer, try to get the leather bag into the other team's goal area. There are a couple rules about what is allowed and not allowed once inside the tunnel, and occasionally a referee will be assigned to important games, but usually there's no need. There just aren't a lot of rules that can be broken without being obvious; the main rules being no magic and no weapons.
So Rankin and his team, consisting of childhood friends Ketch and Darby, were extremely popular and played for the league championship. After the match was over and Rankin's team was victorious, one of the referees detected a magical effect on Rankin. Rankin was as surprised as anyone else and immidiately denied having anything intentionally cast on him, but the damage was done. Word of the infraction spread like a fire through the watching crowd of fans and gamblers and left a general brawl in it's wake. In the aftermath, though Rankin's statement that he knew nothing about any magic used before or during the match was verified as true by several clerics, he was disgraced and the title was taken away. To save his family's honor, he left his home to live on the surface. |

EQUIPMENT
Dagger, Arcane Focus (Crystal), Scholar’s Pack, Spellbook, A Holy Symbol, a Prayer Book, 5 sticks of incense, vestments, set of common clothes, belt pouch with 15 gold.
PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS
Traits: I see omens in every event and action. The gods try to speak to us, we just need to listen. Ideal: Aspiration: I seek to prove myself worthy of Amaunator’s favor by matching my actions to his teachings. He means for us to be capable without his constant assistance, so I will learn to wield power without turning to him. I will make a weapon of myself in his name, not be a tax upon his power. Bond: I will someday get revenge on the corrupt temple hierarchy who branded me a heretic. Flaw: I overlook obvious solutions in favor of complicated ones.
BACK STORY
Sanasha is and always will be a loyal follower of Amaunator. However… he’s not the most diplomatic priest that ever was. He told his church elders that they were fools, that they learned nothing from Amaunator’s absence. The lesson to be learned is that Amaunator does not want worshipers who can’t take care of themselves, and yet when he revealed himself as an aspect of Lathander, they went right back to believing themselves holy when they ask Amaunator to deal with their every problem.

EQUIPMENT A dagger, an arcane focus (gnarled tree branch wand), a spellbook, Herbalism Kit, a backpack with a book of lore, 1 ounce bottle of ink, ink pen, 10 sheets of parchment, little bag of sand, small knife, a bottle of blank ink, a quill, a small knife, a letter from a dead colleague posing an unanswered question, a set of common clothes, a belt pouch, a fragment of a beautiful song written as musical notes on two pieces of parchment. 5 gold pieces
PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS Bond: My life's work is a series of tomes related to the Necromantic arts. Flaw: Unlocking an ancient mystery is worth the price of a civilization.
BACK STORY Darthon was born into a small tribe of Goliaths living along the Spine of the World. They were nomadic, so Darthon has plenty of exposure to various other races and how they live. He was different from the other Goliaths in the tribe, in that he had an insatiable appetite for book knowledge. Whenever their travels took them near a town, he would scour the trashheaps for scraps of paper and books that he could read. As he got older, he became bolder and actually started asking strangers for information about things that he had read. He would ask about any subject that he could find information on. He became rather intrigued in the Necromantic arts when a book he had found mentioned that there could be immortality obtained through the practice and rituals associated with Necromancy. He has been looking into this more and more, focusing his more recent forays into libraries and stores into finding more necromancy knowledge.

Traits. I work hard so that I can play hard when the work is done. I stretch the truth for the sake of a good story. Ideal. The Sea is freedom, freedom to go anywhere and do anything. Bond. I was cheated out of my fair share of the profits, and I want to get my just due. (bad reputation) Flaw. Once someone questions my courage, I never back down no matter how dangerous the situation
BACK STORY known for the viciousness he showed to his vanquished foes, as well as his success in raiding many towns. Fenris has a sadistic, bloodthirsty streak that was predominant in his career. A feral combatant his rage leaves none without harm in his wake. Will allow a tough opponent to strike him before he defeats them, baiting them and intimidating them in the process. His reputation was further heightened on his last voyage. It was on this last raid that his latent magical abilities manifested with a surge of wild magic that sucked the life force out of the merchant galley Luscious Trader's crew and flooding Fenris with mighty temporary power. In his rage he slew the remaining crew and a few of his own that got in his way. The merchant galley "Luscious Trader" was heavily laden with treasure from the far reaches of Faerun's continent Kara Tur. Gold and Jewels that sparkled greater than the evening sky. His Pirate colleagues fearing the new magic from Fenris left him on a derelict "Luscious Trader" with no sail, a broken Rudder, and no treasure. With some luck a storm pushed the ship into A reef near the coast. It took all of his strength to reach the shore during the storm. Vengeance or a large portion of the treasure is all that will satisfy his rage. Now few will take "the Feared" on as a crewman, thus Fenris has taken up adventuring, the thrill and danger is as great if not greater than pirating after all. |

Rette “Whirl” Renner BACKGROUND (OUTLANDER — Feature: Wanderer; Origin: Guide)
Rette was born to a small tribe of nomads still clinging to their hunter-gatherer lifestyle. To them, her birth was neither auspicious or a portend of dark times -- all new life on the plains was honored and celebrated. As she grew, her tribe was winnowed by age, affliction, and accident. Finally her remaining family looked to civilization to fill their bellies and became guides and hunters for hire, bringing merchants and nobles safely across the great plains and keeping dangerous animals from the livestock of farmers.
Even before adulthood, Rette heard the call of the windsong of the great meadows and unbroken expanses of grasses of her childhood. When she was old enough, she would accompany her father when he led patrons across the Golden Seas, making and breaking camp for their charges and learning to harvest plants and animals for the materials they could yield. In just a few years, she would be leading her own groups.
Now of age, Rette has gone her own way, living free on the plains and enjoying the company of the beasts that dwell within. Her greatest joy is the feeling of the wind and sun on her face, though she finds the great storms that roll across the open ranges exhilarating and might be seen dancing naked in the gales, giggling like a child. 1st level Air Genasi Ranger Medium Female Humanoid Proficiency Bonus +2 Armor Class 16 (scale mail) Hit Points 12 Speed 30 ft Sense Normal Str 8 (-1) Dex 16 (+3) Con 14 (+2) Int 10 (+0) Wis 14 (+2) Cha 13 (+1) Alignment Chaotic Good Languages Common, Primordial, Elven

DESCRIPTION Rette is lean and her movement efficient. Her sky blue skin is often smudged with dirt and her wavy white hair seems to blow in a supernatural breeze even when indoors (and sometimes scatters grass seed as if of its own accord). Very fine crystals form at the nape of her neck and disappear into her scalp above and between her shoulders below.
Rette rarely wears her heavier armor, preferring to move unhampered among the grass of her home. She wears loose and simple but utilitarian clothing and no accessories save a bracelet adorned with hawk feathers on her left wrist. The bracelet was made by her mother from the bounty of Rette’s first wild hunt.

Ahnric “Wet Feet” Delinn BACKGROUND (SAILOR — Feature: Ship’s Passage)
When he was old enough, Ahnric took up a job with local fishers. His unique abilities made him popular with crabbers and clam divers and for a time he was paid well for his services, keeping his mother and sisters well above the wages of an average sailing man’s. During this time his sorcerous blood manifested and he learned how to control water and flames to great effect at his work and small emergencies at port.
After a one long day in the ocean, Ahnric came home to the news that the ship his father crewed had been attacked and sunk by raiders. Tears still streaming, somewhat unseen, down his face, he ran to the naval office and begged to be allowed to join the navy. Still too young, they turn him away. After that, for nearly a year, he begged every ship’s crew and captain for a job aboard their ship, and searched for more information on the raiders that sunk his father’s.

EQUIPMENT
DESCRIPTION Ahrnic stands shorter than most of his mates, but is tough as nails and works through the driving rain of a sea squall without hesitation or complaint. His dark green skin seems to continually shed water and his black hair shimmers against the sun as though damp from a recent swim.
Ahnric keeps his clothing simple but durable to persevere under the demanding lifestyle of a sailor at sea. He keeps a nice set of clothes for evening at port, but swims nude (or in a loincloth depending on company). His arcane orb is in a pouch on his belt at all times and a dagger in his boot while on shore. He uses his smoky orb to break the ice with strangers put off by his appearance.

PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS Appearance: Alabaster white skin, golden blonde hair, and cornflower blue eyes filled with flecks of gold. Charlotte Moondew enjoys the perfect blend of Elven grace and beauty with the lush voluptuousness of her human parent. With a natural penchant for standing out in a crowd, Shimmer has learnt to hone her social skills to a fine point, traversing the social landscape of both the noble courts and the criminal slums with ease. Her reputation varies from 'Elegant Lady' to 'Sought after Courtesan' or even 'that Wretched Harlot' depending on who you ask. Background Charlatan [False Identity] Favourite Scam: I insinuate myself into people’s lives to prey on their weakness and secure their fortunes. False Identity: Charlotte Moondew, highly sought after Courtesan who has the favour of any given noble at the time. (Signet Ring from Background) Personality Traits: Flattery is my preferred trick to getting what I want.; I pocket anything I see that might have value. Ideal: Independence. I am a free spirit— no one tells me what to do. Bond: I fleeced the wrong person and must work to ensure that this individual never crosses paths with me or those I care about. Flaw: I hate to admit it and will hate myself for it, but I'll run and preserve my own hide if the going gets tough.
BACKSTORY Ever since she’d put on that pendant she inherited from her grandmother, Shimmer had been getting thoughts and impressions from ‘somewhere’. The insidious whispers whose meanings as just out of reach leaves Shimmer slightly off balance, as she strains to make sense of the sounds. So close, always so close, but understanding constantly eludes her. Leaving her comfortable city life as a courtesan, Shimmer takes a journey out into the world thinking the quieter countryside could possibly allow her to focus on the whispers. Maybe she was right or perhaps something is leading her subconscious mind, but Shimmer is realizing she’s not just a simple courtesan anymore. It wasn’t long before she discovered that she could push her thoughts onto other people….
Notes *Character should be AL compliant* *Pendant can come from various sources, it is basically her link to her Great Old One Patron though she has yet to discover it and doubles up as her Arcane Focus. As a level 1 character, she is just learning that she has powers. The mental intrusions from her Patron and her background makes for a somewhat mentally unbalanced character whose doesn’t hesitate to manipulate others. Also leaves the ever present plot hook for the DM to yank on through her Patron*

FEATURES
Darkvision: Accustomed to life underground, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Dwarven Resilience: You have advantage on saving throws against poison, and you have resistance against poison damage.
Dwarven Combat Training: You have proficiency with the battleaxe, handaxe, throwing hammer, and warhammer.
Tool Proficiency: You gain proficiency with the artisan’s tools of your choice: smith’s tools, brewers supplies, or mason’s tools.

Dwarven Armor Training: You have proficiency with light and medium armor.
Unarmored Defense: While you are not wearing any armor, your Armor Class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier. You can use a shield and still gain this benefit.
Rage: In battle, you fight with primal ferocity. On your turn, you can enter a rage as a bonus action. While raging, you gain the following benefits if you aren’t wearing heavy armor:
If you are able to cast spells, you can’t cast them or concentrate on them while raging. Your rage lasts for 1 minute.

Frenzy: You can go into a frenzy when you rage. If you do so, for the duration of your rage you can make a single melee weapon attack as a bonus action on each of your turns after this one. When your rage ends, you suffer one level of exhaustion (as described in appendix A).

PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS
Trait 1: Lewd, crude, brazen, and boisterous, I am a borderline lunatic who is always spoiling for a fight. Trait 2: I don’t like to bathe. Ideal: Glory. Immortality is achieved through legends forged on the field of battle. (Neutral) Bond: Those who fight beside me are those worth dying for. Flaw 1: I have little respect for established authority; I measure people by their deeds, not their pedigrees. Flaw 2: Once I start drinking, it’s hard for me to stop. Appearance: Vostyg appears as a grizzled dwarf with a hulking physique. A narrow fringe of fiery red hair rings the broad expanse of his skull, merging just in front of his ears with a bushy red beard. He has icy blue eyes, and his stony features bear the scars of many battles. A rank odor emanates from his body, drawing clouds of flies and midges. He has a sizeable gap between his two front teeth.
BACKSTORY
Vostyg is a force of nature. Born and bred in the alpine mountains overlooking Rashamen, legends abound of his prowess as a trapper, warrior, and wrastler of bears. He harbors a special hatred for orcs, giants, and giantkin. He enjoys wrastling bears, drinking vodka, splitting skulls, and squat dancing on tavern tables. He journeyed into the west on the trail of a great spirit beast, a man-eating bear the size of a house named Old One-Eye who has managed to elude Vostyg for years.

Kasier Windrivver 1st-level Rogue, Medium humanoid (human), chaotic good
Armor Class 14 (leather armor) Speed 30 ft. 12 (+1) 16 (+3) 13 (+1) INT WIS CHA 14 (+2) 8 (-1) 16 (+3)
Saving Throws Dex +5, Int +4 Skills Athletics +2, Deception +7, Persuasion +5, Sleight of Hand +7, Arcana +4, Investigation +4 Senses Passive Perception 9 Languages Common, Dwarvish
Equipment. A rapier, a shortsword, an explorer's pack, leather armor, two daggers, thieve's tools, a set of fine clothes, navigator's tools, potion of healing, a diary written in a strange language (possibly celestial), and a letter that writes "you can come home any time you want".
Feat Lucky: Kasier has inexplicable luck that seems to kick in at just the right moment. You have 3 luck points. Whenever you make an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw, you can spend one luck point to roll an additional d20. You can also spend a luck point when an attack roll is made against you. Kasier regains his expended luck points when he finishes a long rest.
Proficiency. (+2) Kasier is proficient with light armor, simple weapons, hand crossbows, longswords, rapiers, short swords, water vehicles, navigator’s tools, and thieves' tools.
Epertise. Kasier doubles his proficiency bonus for any ability check made that uses Charisma (Deception) and Dexterity (Sleight of Hand).
Sneak Attack. Once per turn, Kasier can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature he hits with an attack if he has advantage on the attack roll. The attack must use a finesse or ranged weapon. He doesn't need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn't incapacitated, and He doesn't have disadvantage on the attack roll.
ACTIONS Dagger Reach 5 ft. or range 20 ft./60 ft., one target. Hit: 1d4 +3 piercing damage. Shortbow. Ranged Weapon Attack: range 80 ft./320 ft., one target. Hit: 1d6 + 3 piercing damage.
PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS Background. Pirate Feature. Bad reputation Traits. I’m a born gambler & I won’t pay attention to the risks in a situation. Also, I fall in & out of love easily. Can’t resist a pretty face. Ideal. Freedom. The sea is freedom – freedom to go anywhere and do anything. Bond. Someday I’ll own my own ship & chart my own destiny. Flaw. I once satirized a noble who still wants my head. It was a mistake I’ll likely repeat. BACK STORY Kasier Windrivver was born in Mirabar, a mining city located on the northern Sword Coast. The city was occupied by 1600 shield dwarves who lived underground near their workshops, which produced metal goods for export in the region and beyond. The humans above would cooperate with the dwarves to handle the mining, move ore to the market & defend the city against magical threats. Kasier, as a boy, learned the basics of bartending from his mother, Sarah Montresor, who was the owner of The Emerald Nymph inn & tavern. Night after night, he could always listen in on legends of the exciting adventures of pirates. Sometimes the stories were so captivating that, when his mother wasn’t looking, he’d stop his chores altogether to sit with the locals & ask questions, especially when he’d heard rumors about his father, “Danny Windrivver”, & how he had supposedly found a way of traveling to the astral plane of Bytopia and discovered a vast otherworldly treasure. One night, a rather extroverted fellow, calling himself “Mr. Shanks”, was spellbinding the whole inn with his tales. Thrill & astonishment could be seen in the eyes of almost every living soul huddled up around the man, but it still did not meet the excitement felt by Kasier. Recognizing his kindred spirit & raw determination for adventure, Mr. Shanks invited Kasier to accompany his crew and sail onboard his ship, The Greedy Atlantis, admitting to have known his father, Danny ‘Gunner’ Windwivver, and to being an experienced captain himself. Under Shanks’ tutelage, Kasier’s apt for piracy unfolded, whether it was in martial training or embezzlement, which to him was all just another adventure. Then, there was a mutiny. Captain Shanks’ first mate, Mr. Tobias “Dead Man” Edans, was the ringleader of the mutineers. “Dead Man”, now, captain Edans, revealed to Kasier that the original purpose for his recruitment was to use him as leverage to his father, Gunner Windrivver, in an attempt to extract the whereabouts of Gunner's treasure find in the outer plane of Bytopia, but the plan went awry when the captain had begun to go soft & refused to betray the boy. Mr. Edans was the death of captain Shanks. Kasier, infuriated, made it his lifelong goal to become the greatest pirate that ever lived, & uncover all the strange mysteries & secrets of the world. |

EQUIPMENT
breastplate, halberd, battleaxe, 4 javelins, an explorer’s pack, a hunting trap, a yeti skin cloak, a cave bear claw amulet, a set of traveler’s clothes, a belt pouch containing 10 gp.
explorer’s pack contents: a backpack, a bedroll, a mess kit, a tinderbox, 10 torches, 10 days of rations, a waterskin, and 50 feet of hempen rope strapped to the side.
FEATURES
Natural Athlete: You have proficiency in the Athletics skill.
Stone’s Endurance: You can focus yourself to occasionally shrug off injury. When you take damage, you can use your reaction to roll a d12. Add your Constitution modifier to the number rolled, and reduce the damage by that total. After you use this trait, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Powerful Build: You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift. Your carrying capacity is your Strength score multiplied by 30 (16 x 30 = 480 lbs.). You can push, drag or lift a weight in pounds up to twice your carrying capacity (960 lbs.). While pushing or dragging weight in excess of your carrying capacity, your speed drops to 5 feet.
Mountain Born: You’re acclimated to high altitude, including elevations above 20,000 feet. You’re also naturally adapted to cold climates, as described in chapter 5 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide.
Extreme Cold: When the temperature is at or below 0 degrees Fahrenheit, a creature exposed to cold must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw at the end of each hour or gain one level of exhaustion. Creatures with resistance or immunity to cold damage automatically succeed on the saving throw, as do creatures wearing cold weather gear (thick coats, gloves, and the like) and creatures naturally adapted to cold climates.
High Altitude: Traveling at altitudes of 10,000 feet or higher above sea level is taxing for a creature that needs to breathe, because of the reduced amount of oxygen in the air. Each hour such a creature spends traveling at high altitude counts as 2 hours for the purpose of determining how long such a creature can travel. Breathing creatures can become acclimated to a high altitude by spending 30 days or more at this elevation. Breathing creatures can’t become acclimated to elevations above 20,000 feet unless they are native to such environments.
Unarmored Defense: While you are not wearing any armor, your Armor Class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier. You can use a shield and still gain this benefit.
Rage: In battle, you fight with primal ferocity. On your turn, you can enter a rage as a bonus action. While raging, you gain the following benefits if you aren’t wearing heavy armor:
If you are able to cast spells, you can’t cast them or concentrate on them while raging. Your rage lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are knocked unconscious or if your turn ends and you haven’t attacked a hostile creature since your last turn or taken damage since your last turn. You can also end your rage on your turn as a bonus action. Once you have raged the number of times shown for your barbarian level, you must finish a long rest before you can rage again.
Rages: 3 Rage Damage: +2
Reckless Attack: When you make your first attack on your turn, you can decide to attack recklessly. Doing so gives you advantage on melee weapon attack rolls using Strength during this turn, but attack rolls against you have advantage until your next turn.
Danger Sense: You have advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects that you can see, such as traps and spells. To gain this benefit, you can’t be blinded, deafened, or incapacitated.
Path of the Totem Warrior: The Path of the Totem Warrior is a spiritual journey, as the barbarian accepts a spirit animal as a guide, protector, and inspiration. In battle, your totem spirit fills you with supernatural might, adding magical fuel to your barbarian rage. Most barbarian tribes consider a totem animal to be kin to a particular clan. In such cases, it is unusual for an individual to have more than one totem animal spirit, though exceptions exist.
Spirit Seeker: Yours is the path that seeks attunement with the natural world, giving you kinship with beasts. You gain the ability to cast the beast sense and speak with animals spells, but only as rituals.
Totem Spirit - Cave Bear: While raging, you have resistance to all damage except psychic damage. The spirit of the bear makes you tough enough to stand up to any punishment.
Extra Attack: You can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Fast Movement: Your speed increases by 10 feet while you aren’t wearing heavy armor.
Feat - Polearm Master: You gain the following benefits:
PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS
Trait 1: I place no stock in wealthy or well-mannered folk. Money and manners won’t save you from a hungry yeti. Trait 2: My recklessness once cost the lives of the people who depended on me; as a result, I prefer to think before I act. Ideal: Honor. If I dishonor myself, I dishonor my whole clan. (Neutral) Bond: I seek redemption in the eyes of my ancestors so that the spirits of the children who died by my negligence can finally be laid to rest. Flaw: I have a bit of a deathwish. Appearance: Mog’Magore is a young goliath of prodigious size with a hulking physique. He stands over 8 feet tall, and weighs 493 pounds.
BACKSTORY
Show Mog'Magore was born into a clan of goliaths who dwelled among the loftiest peaks of the Spine of the World Mountains. His father, Taebor, was chief of the Stormhammers, ruling the clan with an iron fist from his seat of power within the great hall of Skyreach.
When Mog'Magore reached his fifteenth name day, his father invited him to join the warriors of the clan on a mammoth hunt. They were tracking a great herd through a mountain pass when they came across a pair of yetis picking over the bones of a long-dead rhemoraz. A ferocious battle ensued in which several of the Stormhammer warriors were brutally slain before the yetis could be overcome. Though it was Mog'Magore’s first true test in battle, the spirits of the ancestors were with him that day, enabling him to deal the killing blow to the last of the yetis just as it was about to gore his father. In recognition of his son’s bravery, Taebor allowed him to claim one of the yeti pelts as his own that it might be fashioned into a cloak upon his return to Skyreach.
As the Stormhammer warriors gathered themselves up, a withered crone appeared in a swirl of snow atop a high promontory overlooking the pass. Trembling with rage, she pointed an accusatory finger at the flayed corpses of the yetis, proclaiming that the Stormhammers had slaughtered her children, and that a similar fate would be visited upon their own. As suddenly as she had appeared, the hag was gone, with another swirl of snow as the only sign that she had ever been there.
The Stormhammers returned to Skyreach several nights later only to be greeted by a chorus of wails. When Taebor demanded to know what had happened, one of the tenders stepped forth to inform him that an old hag had appeared within the great hall and spirited away all of the children of the Stormhammer clan. Uncertain of what to do, Taebor sought the council of the clan wiseman, an aging goliath named Shadrak the Wyrd. The old man drew forth a set of rune-carved bones from the leather satchel at his side and cast them down upon the snow. Through his arts, Shadrak discerned that the ancient crone was an ice hag, and that she had spirited the children back to her lair, a magical grotto situated deep beneath the surface of a mountain lake within the lee of a natural archway formed by two icy spires.
Taebor wasted no time in gathering his warriors and heading out towards the hag’s lair. When they arrived by the shore of the lake, they saw that it was frozen. Taebor ordered the Stormhammers to set upon the ice with their picks and axes. They soon carved out a hole broad enough for a goliath to fit through. Taebor began to strip off his furs in preparation for the descent, but Mog'Magore stepped forth and spoke to him. He argued that Taebor was far too important to undertake such a dangerous mission, and offered to go in his stead. After a moment’s consideration, Taebor nodded his assent.
Promising success, Mog'Magore plunged into the frozen depths, swimming furiously to reach the bottom of the lake. Just when he thought that his lungs would burst, he spied a faint blue luminescence emanating from the rocks somewhere off to his left. With a final effort, he swam towards the light, bursting through a magical barrier to spill onto the floor of an icy grotto.
He was amazed to discover that he could breathe again. Looking back towards the entrance, he noticed that a faintly shimmering field of force was holding back the lake water and preventing it from flooding the cavern in which he stood. He picked himself up and drew his axe, venturing deeper into the grotto and dreaming of the glory he would attain upon slaying the ice hag and rescuing the captives. He did not have to travel far before he came upon the children of the Stormhammer tribe, huddled together in a wretched mass and bound in place with bands of ice.
Mog'Magore raised his axe and began to hack through the children’s bindings. The din soon drew the attention of the hag, who emerged from her chamber and launched herself at Mog'Magore. She was much stronger than she looked, and the goliath warrior found himself sorely pressed. Calling upon his ancestors, he swung his axe in a broad arc, cleaving the ice hag’s head from her shoulders.
At the moment of her death, a great roar shook the cavern, for with the hag’s passing, the magical barrier which held back the flood was unraveled, and the whole of the lake came pouring in. Mog'Magore was savagely buffeted as the mighty torrent slammed him up against the walls and then drew him back out through the entrance to the cave. Barely conscious, he managed the long swim back up to the surface, where several strong pairs of hands drew him out of the water and onto the icy bank.
The first thing he beheld when he opened his eyes was his father’s stern visage, his features fixed in a scowl of stony reproach. Mog'Magore experienced a brief moment of confusion, but understanding quickly dawned on him as he remembered the fate of the drowned children. Shamed to the core of his being, he explained what had happened and pleaded with his father for a quick death. Taebor silenced him with a gesture, proclaiming that a quick death would be a mercy to one who had failed the clan so egregiously Instead, the chief declared that Mog'Magore would be sent forth into the great white waste with naught but his cloak and hunting knife, and that his name would never again be spoken aloud by the members of the Stormhammer clan on pain of death.
With the sentence passed, Mog'Magore set out from Skyreach for the final time. Sapped of his will to live, he wandered through the mountains for weeks, finally collapsing near a stand of ancient spruces. As he lay there longing for death’s cold embrace, a swarm of white finches descended from the boughs of the trees above and set upon him with their tiny beaks, viciously pecking at his exposed flesh. As he flailed and swatted at the little fiends, they spoke directly into his mind:
“We are the spirits of the children who died by your negligence at the Lake of Broken Dreams. Because we cannot rest, you will not be allowed to rest either--not until you have achieved redemption in the eyes of our ancestors. Gather yourself up and leave this place, for you will not find your doom here.”
Though he believed himself beyond redemption, Mog'Magore did as he was bid, if only to avoid further punishment from his tiny tormentors. The spirits of the children have followed him ever since, alighting upon his shoulders and wheeling about his head, exhorting him unceasingly to achieve redemption by performing valorous deeds. His wanderings eventually brought him beyond the mountains to the lands of the lesser folk, where he took up work as a caravan guard and monster hunter. |

BACKSTORY "Raven" the name she goes by as she doesn't know her real name, grew up on the streets of Waterdeep. She does not know who her parents are, but she has a necklace given to her by a woman who ran the orphanage Raven grew up in. Raven did not like the other kids in the orphange and ran away when she was 9. She learned to do what she had to in order to survive including stealth in order to eat. She learned to survive alone or in small groups of other urchins until she came to the attention of a Half Elf woman who later turned out to be an agent of the Harpers.
She recognized potential in the young "Raven", so named as her hair is as black as a raven's feathers. She took Raven under her wing, so to speak, and raised her to be an agent of the Harpers like herself. Raven learned to be a hunter of undead, demons, devils and other forms of evil and learned to use her mind to see clues that others would miss and studied magical lore and theory as most of the beings that cause problems use magics of some sort. Now at the age of 19, she has left her mentor and friend and headed out into the world to find fame and fortune. |
