I got the mechanics more or less bogged down, but I'm a little fuzzy on the setting. Can anyone point me to some info on Furyondy? (Or Chendi?) It's been a long while since I played in Greyhawk.
Essentially, the character is an Aasimir Favored Soul focused on diplomacy, healing, and some buffing spells; he's fairly well armed and eager to do battle.
Not very minmaxed, so not exremely effective but hey.
The background is that he was raised in an orphanage, grew up in Chendi and initially joined the priesthood of Heironeous. They soon came to a disagreement, and after some time "unemployed" he came to the service of the royal house. His relations with the church is still strenous.
That's the idea anyways, I would like to tailor it to the setting however.
