Having basically played through all the adventures I own with all the official characters, I was trying to put a party together for a custom play-through, and realised I was short on a divine character.
I've played Kyra before and found her ok, but think Seelah is the most dull of the printed characters, and wanted to go for something with a bit more flavour- abilities more obviously tied into the deity of choice.
After a bit of digging around on the internet, I came across the idea of a half-orc follower of Desna, and thought it seemed like fun. Here's my first attempt. I've tried to show benefits from using the starknife, along with a focus on luck and travel.
(I'm also working on a Calistrian priestess who I'll post later)
(I think the powers at the latter stage may be slightly over-powered, and have tried to balance them with the restriction on blessings of Lamashtu, not sure if this works).

I've revised this a bit, based on some feedback over on BGG.
I've taken the Charisma down to D4 - it was pointed out that this seems a bit more in keeping with a half-Orc. To balance the drop, I've raised constitution from D6 to D8.
For the spherewalker, I've changed the power to "place the blessing on top of the deck when exploring" (rather than discard)
For the favoured follower, I've dropped the "fail by 3" option on the 'bury a card to succeed' power- it seemed a bit strong, and I realised I had one power feat too many.
