GM_wu, I was wondering if I could switch all my shadow descriptor spells to originate from the Dimension of Dreams instead.

Everything about the spells will remain the same save for the aesthetic feature of where they are from.

I was wondering if I could have this for all spells which I pick later which have a shadow Plane origin save for darkness spells.


@Gm_wu That's actually a good idea. I've not actually played a proper DnD game before so I guess I should ask. How good are Sorcerers in melee? Coz I was thinking of a melee wielding sorcerer of some sort.

>.<

That question kinda answers itself huh... I guess I'll go switch weapons then.

Edit:
Done and done ^^ Thanks for the suggestion.


GM_wu, I've already put Kydan's background into his alias profile but for ease of reference here it is again.

background:
==========
Background
==========
Having grown up with two argumentative parents, Kydan learnt the hard way that it is never good to take things for granted. He was a playful kid with a older sister too old and intellectually superior to guide him, Kydan constantly found himself getting into trouble with the family's various Varisian neighbours, causing no end of strife for the already breaking family so unlike his sister who had discovered her magical talents at the age of 12 and was packed off to Absalom's Arcanamirium Crafter to become the family wizard.

The absence of his sister only worsened the family condition; Kydan's elven mother threatening to return home to Kyonin and Kydan's human father only interested in sealing the next business deal. At the age of 16, his parents split ways and abandoned him to fend for himself, both not wanting anything to do with their skill-less son.

Left to drift by himself and lacking any useful skills or magical aptitude, Kydan plied the only trade he knew; entertaining people and thus he worked for 12 years as a courtesan, selling his charming smile and soothing presence to every town or city the Varisian nomads he traveled with settled in. Through his years of "service", Kydan spent his time dreaming of the things he wishes he could do but never could; praying to many a god that they would grant him a spark of magic or talent that would free him from his mundane lifestyle.

It is only in the last 2 years that Kydan's dreams have been plagued with more than his imagination; glimpses of spells long forgotten, sudden chills along his skin whenever he dreams of the future and whispers of powers he could have if only he would open himself to them. He found himself able to cause the sounds he imagined in his head to sound in real life or even conjure images of things he saw only in his mind.

Not knowing what to do with his powers, he used his powers to entertain his clients for a time, feeling a lack of achievement as the years went by. 2 years later and in the present, Kydan resolved to travel to Absalom to find out the source of his power and hopefully, make peace with his sister.

As for spending gold, that's what I wanted to ask you about. The book says that characters start with...oh, sorry. Just read that characters start with an outfit worth 10 gp.

When they mentioned outfit, I thought they meant starting gear. Have modified starting gold.


Here's my character sheet. If I got something wrong, please let me know.

Reason to be in Southwatch: Kydan is just passing through on his way to Absalom (See background) but hopes that he can finally put his new-found magic to the test in the conflict-bound Lastwall. That and coupled with the fact that he wants to be nowhere near Cheliax.

Why Kydan would go on an adventure once it presents itself: Kydan has never gone on an adventure before and having been withheld from doing so for the past 12 years, Kydan would eagerly help wherever conflict arises or if no one else wants to do it.

===========
Personality
===========
Kydan is a happy-go-lucky type of person, not allowing slights or minor slip-ups to upset him. He is honest and down to earth, always willing to fill a need where he is required. He is impartial when it comes to dealing with vices and does not mind mixing with people irregardless of their station, race or profession unless they enjoy inflicting pain on others for no other reason other than to inflict it.

Kydan acknowledges that he isn't the smartest and strongest of people and is willing to give way to others if he believes them better at it. However, he feels offended when others look down on him and often goes out of his way to prove them wrong.

Despite having been on the streets for years, Kydan is still very innocent when it comes to dealing with people and tends to trust people a little too easily.

Kydan's upbringing gives him a soft spot for those who have been abandoned or causes him to take up cases where people say there is no hope.
