D&D 5E The City of Is'Merith

[pathfinderq1]

Oh, also, pathfinder, you just need to update your "Stat block/details" section, specifically, hit points and reference to your current level and class/es.

-Done; also added a bit of description and finalized equipment.

 

[Sezarious]

Actually I'll play a halfling fighter

Hahaha, Indecisive much? You can play whatever class you want. I just want to see good backstory that ties you in with Is'Merith somehow. I thought you had your character concept originally as half elf dual wielding fighter?

 

[Trogdor1992]

I know but I'm thinking halfling dual wield fighter now, if that's okay

 

[Matthan]

Have you considered being a dual-wielding halfling fighter with strong ties to the Thieves Guild? All the cool kids are doing it.

Seriously though, looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Are you thinking native to the city or newcomer?

 

[Macv12]

You thieves and your thieving. What happened to good-old-fashioned killing for money?

 

[Matthan]

To be fair, we're completely open to that too. We keep a diverse portfolio of investment opportunities.

 

[Trogdor1992]

I was thinking I'd be native and thinking of the possibility of being tied into the thieves guild but not sure how to go about it

Well, to throw some ideas out at you (and to continue procrastinating from my paper):

You could be muscle and part of the guild
You could be trying to hire the guild for a particular job or purpose (forged papers, stolen item, etc...)
You could have defaulted on a debt to the guild and are now working it off
You could have taken a loan of some kind from the guild and the payments were job related instead of just monetary
You could have winded up in jail for some reason and a guild member took notice of your talent and got you free on condition of your working for the guild

Any of those spark an idea?

I actually quite like the last one, and I think I could work a decent backstory off of it, perhaps they saw my swift and dexterous swordfighting skills prior to my arrest

 

[Matthan]

Awesome! Also, maybe you were fighting someone the guild (or that member) already disliked? You might be able to toss in some plot hooks in there for the DM to play off of later if he wants.
