Gspawn summons a character!

[Gspawn]

@SMARTAgentKC Where do we stand as far as development?

 

Am I rolling stats or taking the stat board? What level do you expect 🤔 this to start at. As far as story I will need to get my brain cracking on some idea for back story.

[SMARTAgentKC]

I would say stick to Point Buy, Go for a level 3 character (because let's face it most base features of 5e characters don't come online until level 3 at the minimum.)

[Gspawn]

Another good question , where do you Stand on variant human as a race? Other wise I am also looking at Damphir or maybe go straight to cstom but I am also open to suggested races to, help get ideas flowing.

Before any Race mods or bonuses I am looking at 8, 14, 12, 14, 14, 10. Might do some alternating but this is what I got so far.

The original Variant Human from the PHB was one of my go to races, so I have no qualms against using it.

Is Custom Origin better? under the right adjustments of stats Custom Origin flexes on variant human then bench presses with him. Custom Origin opens so many story doors, you can make a whole library of characters out of it. One of my personal favorites was the Shadowblood custom origin I created. By taking the Shadow Touched Feat, putting all racial points into Charmisa then taking his first level in Hexblade Warlock, I got a guy who served the Raven Queen who could strike fear in a villian's heart then his blade would 'eat' it making them go insane in fear of the one who smiles in the shadows forcing them to do whatever the guy/the Raven Queen wants.

Using a similar idea your Shadow Summoner could take the Shadow Touched Feat and push the point towards Intelligence, knock a point off Wisdom and put it to Intelligence and you could start with an 18 in Intelligence.

all in all it's your character.

@SMARTAgentKC Okay I decided to go with Custom Race But I am saving Shadow Touch for 4th level (Assuming I make it this far) And choose Observant feat to help with my less then mediocre wisdom. I also choose Warrior Style and rolled up. I choose to be a lesser Half human/Dhampir that has gotten weaker in the gene pool after 2 or 3 generations. I am still looking to build a background in my head but I got the Grunt work done. I should have a more flushed out sheet soon

Before we get to hasty. Stat's before Race bonus is ..... 9 14, 12, 15, 12, 10. (Adding +2 from custom Plus Observant +1 ) I still come out to being 18 Intelligence to begin the game. I almost got tempted to take Lucky

Okay I have a few background Idea's But let's test the Tables out and give creative juice a power bonus.

1.) Okay Parents are a yes
2.) Okay Born at home classic.
3.) One older Brother and one older Sister.... Interesting big family
4.) Okay the Dice Gods gave me both Grandmother and Grandfather (Big part of story Grandfather)
5.) Not poor as hell but not super rich, I can work with it
6.) I expected a small house but Large house would do.
7.) For a Charisma 10 score she can find ways to make really good friends
8.) Considering custom class and not sure where archaeologist stands as background for rolls that be skipped
9.) Considering she is half human half Damphir down 2 generations and choosing her age being 21 gonna roll life events..... 3 events.... What are they?
10.) 1st encounter.. Magical... This might be her starting deck? Okay she accedently drew from grandpa's deck and 1st monser summon, that would do it.... 2nd event... First time selling painting and other stuff ehh ok wont complain with extra 2d6 gold to start (Ill average it to 7)...... 3rd event ... idk but If I get it again no biggie I can work on it.... Okay I can work on fell in love or once fell in love.)
11.) Figuring out the relationships she has with Parents (On Good terms), Grandparent's (Good Terms), Brother (Good terms) Sister (Good terms), and then Former lover (Good Terms) ... Honestly I was expecting complicated relationships but what the hell. I dont mind if all are on good terms.
12.) I'll roll for curiosity of the Family occupation. Sonce most would be more human the only person I have to roll for race is former lover before occupation.... Grandparent's Were Sailors... Huh An ocean/Wild Beast based deck Grandpa started with his Journey as a shadow summoner ... Interesting... Parent's are farmers. It makes sense to live okay....Brother is an entertainer, could be a bard. Sister help's or is in charge of the family business of farming. Now for former lover... Ugh a Half Elf priest... Okay, Hot Cleric?.... Okay....


Okay this is something to work on

Eventually going to land, having a son, and settling down with more white stipes for hair and her aged face coming around she became a grumpy drunk to the known of the public but she dose not regret leaving the life on the sea.

Marcov Yunmo  Is a simple man in his early 40's was simple man who really did not see the adventure like like his parents.

Fearing she would be kicked out of the temple She tried to apologizes and the surprise how Rachael understood why she did what she did, also not minding it at all.

Though after graduation and Rachael going home Yelena debated along with Rachael if there was something there. Still Rachale called her Mistress in private and Ms. Yelena in public since Yelena was also a high noble.

Though when she is not off adventuring she prefer's to be a painter. Since her last meeting its unknown to Rachael if she is still among the living

@SMARTAgentKC Unless their is something Else more I need to do, I think over all she is done. When your ready I am open to ethier solo campaign or a Group game idea's. I'm not 100% sure of theme for the game but I am open to suggestions

[SMARTAgentKC]

Looks good, very interesting story.

I think your character and @voodoozombie character could thematically work together. You both have a Gothic Horror/Mystical Victorian Era type, one being a Dullahan, the other being a quarter vampire. You both either live or once lived in superstitious farming communities who tread lightly around things of unknown origin and you are both on the lookout for adventures.

[Gspawn]

I'm down with it if @voodoozombie up for a Gothic horror theme style adventure. Kinda thematically works. Also bonus points for Halloween coming soon.

[voodoozombie]

Sure. I'm up it! I can see it now. A headless horseman and a vampire walk into a bar.....

[Gspawn]

The Bartender tells them tonight's special is steak and eggs with Garlic flavored bacon while the rest of the tavern asked the horseman how you lost your head?

[voodoozombie]

The horseman replies "I joined a weight loss program. It promised that you can instantly loose 10 pounds, permanently."
