Okay, here's Connor Krynn Still some shopping to do, but he's more or less ready. Connor was raised in a city after being found in the wild. He's basically a civilized barbarian, grown into a mercenary with a wanderers heart. He'll go where the money is, but will often take jobs that will take him to interesting places even if the pay is meager or uncertain. I can embellish further before the game starts if you like.
Brief on Morindur to set the ground for his becoming a sorceror, and flesh out his past: Morindur was a flaky youth, a dreaming child who spend idle hours contemplating the heavens when he should have been at his studies. When pressed by his instructors, he claimed to be speaking with the gods. This lofty idleness gave way, as he matured, to the the pursuit of courtly love. He was at first popular, and then notorious. This was bad enough for his family, but reached it's depths when he pursued his fickle heart into the bed of Nananda Plurien, whose noble house was a bitter rival of Morindur's own. Disowned by his father, and soon abandoned by Nananda who would not oppose her family, Morindur turned to gambling to make his way. His phenomenal luck with the cards led him to be accused of cheating - touched by the gods, he would say - and one night he was poisoned, stabbed and left for dead on the streets of Oppara. He did not die, but had an intense but cryptic vision, and upon awakening found himself able to manipulate magic with gestures and words that seemed to flow intuitively from within him. He decided that the gods he spoke to as a child had kept him from passing away for some purpose. Uncertain which of the gods was instrumental in saving his life, he devoted his life to finding the purpose for his life and the power he wields.
Ah...yeah, makes sense. Okay, how about I also build Morindur as Aristocrat, going into sorceror later. To show the inclination towards sorceror could I request one non-core feat? 'Spell Hand' from the Complete Arcane which would allow him to Cast Mage Hand, Open/Close, and Tenser’s Floating Disk 1/day as a Spell-Like Ability as a 1st level Sorcerer.
Sounds settled, but for the record, no problem with the eventual Paladin here, as Morindur has matured into a NG position from his chaotic youth. Sounds like we've got a commitment on Cleric, so I'll settle on Sorceror. As to the background, Morindur would have been amused at first by his older brother being disowned, but upon finding him living in the village which he was raising his children Morindur would be as helpful as possible. Morindur collect monies by performing minor miracles and lending his newly discovered (and often exaggerated) powers to the service of anyone in need, trusting in reciprocity to keep his coin purse at least partially filled.
This sounds like a fun game, from the OP to what seems to be the formation of a family of adventurers. I'm leaning towards a Sorceror with a Celestial bloodline, but may just settle on a Cleric. Maybe Sir Oribar wouldn't mind Morindur - his own, more easy-going, brother offering insights on his family unit from time to time. Morindur grew up far too passionate, and distracted by the pleasures of life to make it anywhere near the rites that led his brother down the path to paladinhood. Often an embarrasment himself to his family, Morindur eventually went through a crisis and found his faith and with it untapped abilities and a calling that have more or less redeemed him in the eyes of his family. |
