If you want to give Hawken what you think he'd have, go for it (within reason).Your work on your character really paid off! Great background! Love how his tattoo IS the black spot. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I thought it was a very interesting touch how the Spanish Captain Hernandez of La Gloriosa saved him from witch-hunting pirates. The Spanish having created the Inquisition and all (with a branch in the Spanish Main)! I like how it casts the Captain in a good light, that fits very well. EDIT: You are all good to go for the role playing thread now!First, you don't need to make your Ideal and Alignment match, it's just a suggestion.Second, would you please put this in your character sheet with actual words instead of numbers so I don't have to look it up? Such as when determining Inspiration? Thanks!Hmm. Let me toss out some ideas, and you can pick one or roll if you're so inclined:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Hawken intuitively understands how to operate gateways/planar passages to the Abyss, and can understand Quallith (the alien Braille writing of the Illithid). This is due to his experience in the cave.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Hawken automatically differentiates different kinds of merfolk (Jenny Hannivers, Onijegi, Sea Monks, Merfolk, Merrow, or Sirens) and knows considerable lore about them. This is due to his close connection to the mermaid girl.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Merfolk (Jenny Hannivers, Onijegi, Sea Monks, Merfolk, Merrow, or Sirens) will never harm Hawken thanks to his tattoo - the black spot.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Hawken's tattoo - the black spot - writhes and changes slightly when any Sea Beastie is drawing near, granting him advance warning, but causing Hawken crippling albeit fleeting pain.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Hawken's pact blade is a Cthonic artifact slowly materializing into the world, becoming more real with use use of his pact blade. This means it gains power as a rare magic item following the story, but also gains malign intelligence and heralds some coming disaster.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Hawken had a vision during his "awakening" by the Great Old One(s), a vision of how to read a map on the back of a scarred sailor (Gunner Teague   [MENTION=23484]Kobold Stew[/MENTION]); this map would lead him back to his mermaid girl, but it would come at a price. The map would also grant advantage on some island encounter rolls and provide other secret benefits.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Hawken realized there is a conspiracy of others like him out there when he "awakened", only they are willing servants of the Great Old One(s). They call themselves The Cabal. Sometimes their dreams bleed together and he gains secret knowledge of their plans.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Hawken constantly fights a subtle madness from his "awakening", however he can automatically recognize signs of madness in others and can "eavesdrop" on nearby telepathic conversations.</li> </ol></blockquote>
