In fact, the surges for the Elder bloodline aren't nearly -as- bad. The Wise bloodline has some really potentially horrible ones. Ironic given their focus on healing and the like. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />I would think Talashia's surges would tend to involve disruptions in weather, sudden outbursts of lightning, and similar destructive phenomenon. Quickleaf if you're open to the idea of going that way, I'd like to develop it.I might also ask to tweak the lifepath results juuuuuuuuust a little. <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=":)" /> Because I have a background in mind.And stat roll:<a href="http://orokos.com/roll/302417" target="_blank">Attributes</a>: 6#4d6k3 14 [4d6k3=[5, 5, 4], 3] 12 [4d6k3=[6, 3, 3], 2] 15 [4d6k3=[6, 5, 4], 2] 11 [4d6k3=[5, 4, 2], 2] 16 [4d6k3=[6, 6, 4], 3] 12 [4d6k3=[5, 4, 3], 3]Not too bad! Can't hit 18 to start, but that's not as much a requirement in 5th ed as in previous editions. <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=":)" />With that array I'd go:Str 11Dex 15Con 14Int 12Wis 12Cha 16Human goodness goes on Dex and Cha, for 16 and 17 respectively. That sets me up for an 18 Cha at 4rth level, which is quite respectable. Or...orrrrr...I could take Actor at 1st for my bonus feat, and start with 18. hmmmmmI would like to override the die roll that said her birth was 'uneventful' and state that it took place during an intense storm, which culminated in her mother being struck by lightning at the moment of birth. She perished, but the infant was saved; unaccountably unharmed by the strike.However, as she grew up, her father noticed the strangeness that dogged the child, as did the other villagers.When she was still young he took her into the woods and met with either the Conclave or the Sorceresses, handing her over to them in exchange for a 'finder's fee,' and thus turning his misfortune in having a magic-blighted daughter into a windfall.No wait better ideaHe sold Talashia to a witcher. One of them was in the market for a recruit, and he caught wind of it and offered up his little girl. The witcher, unaware of what exactly he was getting, put some silver in the man's hand and took Talashia off to be trained. Annnnnnd it went about as well as one might expect. Which is to say, very very poorly. High pressure training and emotional duress against a source completely unable to control her powers.This means she could possibly know our party witcher from being in training together! You'd have fond memories of dodging lightning bolts as a tornado whipped through the courtyard! Ahhh...good times.They passed her off to the Conclave or Sorceresses (doesn't really matter to me which at this point...we can discuss the ramifications of either).Talashia was there apprenticed, but the enclave she was taken to was betrayed from within and fell to witch hunters that Talashia herself only narrowly escaped. She dogged the trail of the traitor, eventually repaying the favor by stirring a mob against her (or him).Vengeance wreaked, Talashia lost her way for a time. The empire of Nilfgaard began expanding northward and she took advantage of the chaos. Sometimes by rendering spells for hire...always carefully of course...sometimes simply by picking over battlefields before the necrophages arrived in force. She'd already seen enough of death that she could stare it in the face. But it was not for her. That was what she decided. She would be as undying as the storm inside her. The power would show the way.</blockquote>
