[QUOTE="Ambrus, post: 4469933, member: 17691"] Here's my secret-ish character concept, in brief, for the DM's consideration:[Sblock=Dr Simons]I'm considering playing a loresong faen dragonfire adept with the intention of metamorphosing into a spryte at 3rd level. That's the mechanics side of it at least. Storywise, I'd likely ditch most of the background flavor and nomenclature of the faen race and dragonfire adept class in lieu of a unique backstory of my own. That's to say that my character wouldn't be descended from dragons or ever refer to himself as a loresong. His breath weapon attacks would, for reasons of flavor, take the form of scorching or freezing winds which he could unleash at will. And, though I'd use the ability scores and modifiers for being Small sized during 1st and 2nd level, I'd prefer to describe my character as being tiny-sized from the beginning rather than have him later shrink down at 3rd level. I'd like to try portraying a fey spirit of sorts; a modern incarnation of the ancient nature spirits that inhabited the area before the coming of humans and the founding of the city of Korsova three hundred years ago. At his core my character would be a creature of nature, but having incarnated within a heavily urbanized cityscape, he'd be out of synch with his true nature and heritage. That's to say that he wouldn't at first be consciously aware of his origins or able to fully tap into his fey birthright abilities. He'd be a stranger in a strange land so to speak. I imagine that my character, being alone in an alien city like Korsova, would have naturally incarnated into a form that blends in with his modern environment. He'd appear to others as a juvenile halfling boy, roughly knee high to an adult human. With no parents he'd naturally take on the role of a guttersnipe street urchin, most likely having been adopted as a "Little Lamm" by Gaedon early on to perform larcenous activities. After a few years of not growing or visibly aging however, along with a few other uncanny occurrences around the boy (thanks to his class abilities manifesting as natural phenomena), Gaedon and his other Lamms began to grow distrustful of the odd halfling in their midst and ran him off. Now my character finds himself alone in Korsova and at odds with Gaedon and his gang and with only a muddled and incomplete understanding of his birthright. With every day that passes however, his uncanny ability to control the elements grows and even he doesn't know why. Whether he'll ever fully grasp what he is, and whether other fey may find and enlighten him is left mostly up to you. This may be a little unusual character-wise, so let me know what you think of it and whether you'd enjoy trying to work it into the campaign or not. :)[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
