A "character driven" FR campaign.

[Ion]

I think it depends if we can find a cool reason for the other party members to be chasing after a vampire, or at least finding one. It really depends on who wants to have known who, and how etc.

Prehaps you weren't the only one ported in from somewhere weird. Maybe your familiar Waldo switched places with one of the other characters and that's how you got seperated.

We'll be able to get a better picture once we hear the stories of some of the other players, and figure out how it all relates.

We also need a location for this portally vampire encounter to take place. Anybody got some good suggestions? (Specific locatiosn, or a cool type of location?).

I’m looking at connected my character much as possible to the other character and was hoping if everyone would give me the knowledge skills that would make it most likely to happen.

Voadam: would probably be Knowledge: religion (and maybe the planes?)

I'm not quite sure I'm following that. You want the knowledge skills it's mostly likley you both share? Or the ones you don't have that your character would "like to learn" That sort of thing?

I'm basically hinting at that maybe their quest for knowledge could lead some of them to seek out my character.

 

[Voadam]

Voadam is very knowledgeable about standard vampires having hunted a few and dealt politically with others, but there are dozens of variants he knows nothing about. If the vamp he comes in on shows surprising traits Voadam would seek out an expert on vampires (knowledge religion) who could tell him what to expect from this breed and who would be a possible ally in hunting down the vamp.

A bardic vampire hunter who uses lore as her main weapon is a cool concept.

It is a cool concept but not one I'm aiming for... She would be in great peril if confronted by a vampire.

Though I imagine that Knowledge: Religion won't be an issue.

 

[Voadam]

A vampire shadow weave spellcaster in Waterdeep who is doing a True Ritual (as in from Relics and Rituals perhaps as modified in Witch's Handbook) and gets interrupted by PC(s) causing the ritual to fail and opens a shadow weave rift that connects up to the Warlock ley line rift sucking Voadam and Waldo through. The magical rift connections using the shadow weave causes a flare up of the leftover wild magic zones outside of Mystra's immediate control and Waldo gets shunted to where another PC is (far, far, away) and that PC shows up with the surprised Voadam.

The vampire then turns on us saying that none of us can be allowed to live after seeing her workroom, and attacks, draining Voadam severely before the PCs manage to turn her gaseous and escape.

 

[Ion]

Could be any number of PCs showing up, (displacing vampire followers even), or storming this lair. Could be all the commotion just attacts somebody else to the scene too. Whatever works best with your characters.

I'm thinking this is a cool setup though.

 

[Voadam]

Eluvan, want to be a paladin who interrupted a vampire's shadow weave ritual?

Ion, so we're all of our character much more powerful at one point in time only the have a few levels drained away?
