[QUOTE="Old One, post: 14502, member: 83"] [b]Oh Yeah![/b] Most of the PCs IMC have very intricate family entanglements...I believe it brings a much higher level of believability and enjoyment (not to mention lots of plot hooks for the DM:D). Just a few of the current issues, all of which have been discovered "in-game", include: (1) The father of the sorcerer and bard was permanently crippled in a mine cave-in several years ago. A local trapper/scout began providing him with a narcotic plant extract to ease the pain, leaving the father slightly unhinged mentally and dependant on th plant. Then the father lapsed into a coma and they discovered he had been poisoned. They are trying to discover who poisoned him and why. (2) The sorcerer and bard have 5 younger sisters and are trying to arrange suitable marraiges for them. The oldest sister has run off with one of their main enemies in town and is currently a "kept" woman. One of the other sisters shows a keen interest in one of the other PCs. (3) The sorcerer's former fiancee (they broke up because of her unhealthy interest in necromancy) has disappeared...she came to visit the sorcerer while he was out of town and no one has seen here since. (4) The barbarian's grandfather is the Warlord of one of the most powerful barbarian tribes in the campaign, but he is the bastard son of the warlord's daughter and a rogue general of the Emorian Empire. (5) The barbarian fell in love with a girl betrothed to the son of a chieftain from a rival tribe and got her pregnant. Sometime later, she saved the party, but was mortally wounded in the process. With her dying words, she introduced the barbarian to his 2-month old son. (6) The party rescued the daughter of the most powerful landowner in their town from an assassination attempt put together by her stepmother and executed by her stepbrother (the other two daughters died). She has shown interest in 3 of the party memebers so far. The ranger, who is also interested in one of the sorcerer's sisters, has been flirting with her - much to the sorcerer's grand irritation! (7) The cleric's younger brother, also a cleric in the same church, blames him for the death of their parents and won't have anything to do with him. Several attempts at reconciliation have failed and now the brother has left the town to travel to other temples. There are a number of other entanglements, but those give a good idea of some!
