[QUOTE="Ben Brown, post: 7315044, member: 6926812"] I do know that the campaign will be very story based, rather than a fight this, fight that campaign. I know that the outlander background isn't restricted to druids, but it seemed to fit my character the best, here's my backstory/origin story: [I]I am a firbolg named Erkas Vorlieren, who grew up in the far reaches of the forest in my clan. My parents are the clan leaders. I lived a content life, I wanted nothing, but did not have excess. My mother mainly raised me, seeing as my father was always busy ruling. I had many friends, and enjoyed my time spent with them. One night, I awake to the sounds of screaming and otherworldly roars. I run to the door of my hut and see a horde of attackers so wild and ravaging, they are impossible to make out. The clan’s defenses are no match for the horde of unidentified invaders. They easily breach the outer defense, and storm the camp. They act as a swarm, swallowing up anything in their path. The males of the clan, including my father, rush towards the horde, and to their swift demise. “Run, Erkas, Run!” My mother screams, and that is what I did. I ran. Ran for minutes, ran for hours, ran for days, until I could run no longer. I was alone, as far as I knew my clan was eradicated. I was alone. Since I could do nothing else, I waited and watched.

The monks, realizing that I could not stay with them forever, decided to teach me the way of the wild, showing me how to survive and sustain the natural order. When I was old enough, the let me go into the wild to find my own way. [/I] I have also learned that in addition to the sorcerer and the Necromancer, there will be a minotaur barbarian or fighter, so support classes might be the way to go. [/QUOTE]
