[QUOTE="The Shadow, post: 6373604, member: 16760"] Cracking open my copy of Caliphate Nights, how's this: [B][SIZE=2]Djinn-Touched[/SIZE][/B] You have been marked by your experiences with the djinni. Perhaps you have a peri relative, or were abducted by the djinni as a youth. Whichever, you have not been left unchanged by the experience. [B]Skill Proficiencies:[/B] Arcana, Persuasion [B]Languages:[/B] Two, one of which must be a dialect of Djinni. [B]Equipment:[/B] (Need some help here) Why did the djinni take an interest in you? d6: 1: You have a djinni relative somewhere in the family tree. 2: You accidentally wandered onto a path to Jinnistan. 3: A passing djinn took a fancy to you. 4: A wish gone wrong... 5: Mistaken identity - the djinni thought you were someone else. Oops! 6: You haven't the faintest idea! [B]Feature:[/B] Of Two Worlds You have been marked by the eldritch forces of the djinni. This is obvious to any djinn, and to anyone who uses Detect Magic on you. Those who see your mark will be taken aback at a minimum, and djinni will likely tread cautiously around you, lest they accidentally break one of the laws of their kind. d8 Personality Traits: 1: Sometimes I space out and get lost in thought, remembering Jinnistan. 2: I've seen it all, I'm very difficult to impress. 3: I've learned to be elaborately polite and formal to survive. 4: The stories I could tell... but probably won't. 5: Having lived among immortals, I take my time - why rush? 6: I'm almost pathetically grateful for the ordinary human things. 7: (Demi-)Human majesty and authority just don't matter to me any more. 8: I have a very strange sense of humor. d6 Ideal: 1: I've been given a rare gift, and I must use it for the betterment of all. (Good) 2: The ephemeral mortal world's only virtue is change. (Chaotic) 3: Hidden laws govern everything, we must tread lightly. (Lawful) 4: I have been set apart because I am better than everyone else. (Evil) 5: The only thing I'm able to count on is those who have shown me kindness. (Neutral) 6: I want above all else to get back to Jinnistan. (Any) d6 Bond: 1: I made it back to the mortal world only by paying a terrible price. 2: A djinn granted me a boon, and I owe him a debt. 3: I interceded for someone to a djinn, and now I feel responsible for them. 4: I made a wish that may come back to haunt me. 5: I need people to understand what I've experienced. 6: A djinn is my implacable enemy, and the feeling is mutual. d6: Flaw 1: I can't seem to enjoy life in the colorless mortal world. 2: I live life large... too large, sometimes. 3: My disregard for social norms raises eyebrows. 4: Magical creatures are drawn to me and I to them, for ill as well as for good. 5: My admiration for beauty, style, and grace knows no bounds... including my enemies. 6: I won't shut up about how much better things are in Jinnistan. My personal favorite, "Talentless Youth", is up next. :) Oh, and Abdul's background would be a weird mix of Djinn-Touched, Urchin, Sage, and Artisan. Probably skills of History and Persuasion (he'll get Arcana from Warlock). Tools of Disguise kit and Calligrapher's tools. And the 'Of Two Worlds' feature. He'll probably have to take the Linguist feat to represent Nakhlouf's training, sigh. [/QUOTE]
