It occured to me that I specified why I chose the neutral good alignment, but not why he wants to be a pirate. In his oblivious outlook on the world, pirates aren't criminals. They're a group of friends who sing show tunes while sailing around the world having adventures. I forsee many a mutany attempt against Dinglecanter, but he would perceive a mutany attempt as "wiley sailors needing motivation!" He "motivates" them by singing (extremely poorly), a sound so terrible it keeps them in line. Dinglecanter, of course, thinks they are getting inspired to keep working by his incredible singing. /sales pitch

Alignment Rationale: I totally hear you on the good kobold being out, but thematically I figured I'd risk leaving this guy Neutral Good. To go along with the character backstory (will modify to show up in the character profile if selected - basically switch Gnome for Kobold and change love of Shelyn to love of being a pirate), he would be the type that tries to be a pirate by encouragement, mostly with touchy-feely ways...that are covered in snot. I figure it's a gamble to be selected with this in mind, but I just can't break character concept! Thanks for considering this guy! Oddly enough, there seems to be two sources for the Ooze Bloodline. I'm using the one from Deep Magic where Pseudopod doesn't exist. I'm using Hero Lab, so maybe they don't have that version of the Ooze Bloodline uploaded? Bonus Spells as follows:

Thanks for that Hokina! I assure you, this character is absolutely NOT about exploiting the game. I'm more than happy to modify how he casts those kinds of spells anyway. This guy is just more about the theme and funny (disgusting) use of mucus spells. I'll convert him over a little later today.
I may want to submit one, but I feel like I should get approval first before I go through the whole conversion. I feel like approval would be necessary for both the concept and the fact that in order to make this character 3rd party content is required. Would you be open to me converting this guy to a Kobold and tweaking the backstory so he's not a Neutral Good, oblivious, klutzy, Shelyn following mess and is instead a Chaotic Neutral, oblivious, klutzy, Besmara following mess? Despite the fact that it requires 3rd party material, I assure you, it's not min-maxy. It will become more clear when you read it over. |
