He got added to the signal chat.
which one is it
Girl to the right of Grandpa Serial Killer
โ pure of heart
โ red of hair
โ bearer of the Pendant of Zork
pretty sure that's the chosen one
Our right or his right?
"to the right of grandpa" so his right
edit: (i think)
People who come from happy living homes in fantasy settings have no motivation to risk their lives and that happy home for an adventure.
The things that make the happy loving home work as a background are characters that either want to duck an arranged marriage or are so far down the inheritance chain they are going to be life long mooches if they stay.
What if you were born into a Thornberries esque family, grew up traveling the world as your researcher and adventurer parents did their studies in the wilds, ancient ruins etc.
You fell in love with adventure and ancient mysteries, so after graduating from adventurer college (you were a legacy admission), you intern for [initial quest giver for campaign].
Easy one, done off the top of my head.
I'd argue that they can have equally good motivations, it's just harder to do. A lot harder.
sounds like a good background for a proper paladin, no?
person grows up well adjusted and happy, including being taught to have morals, so when they learn about the horrors in the world they go "fuck that noise" and pledge themselves to make the world less shit.
And since they're just.. a normal dude.. they can be the party's "straight man" who sees a half-feral goblin mage join the party and looks into the camera like in The Office.
That one is the real assassin trying hard to disguise as not one.
The others are wannabes
Let's see. One of my campaigns we have:
- A Dhampir Paladin whose surname is Van Helsing, who fights enemies by trying to suck their blood
- A Death domain Cleric, who's OOC made it very clear that they're gonna go into necromancy
- An Eldritch Knight fighter
- A Firbolg druid with 1 level in Rogue who took that level so she has access to weapon mastery (we started at level 4)
- Me, a Battle Master fighter.
I swear, I think I'm gonna prep a Drow Assassin Rogue as a backup character.
(NINJA) EDIT: Y'know, I'm gonna prep the sheet already, just in case.
Santa is amused
