[QUOTE="nonamazing, post: 2029405, member: 12118"] Here's why I had suggested white dragon (spoiler text): [SPOILER]One of the major NPC's in the game is a white dragon who has lived in the Frostfell all his life, since his mother left him several centuries ago. Rigel would be distantly related to the white dragon's mother, making the two of them cousins, in a sense.[/SPOILER] This would have only a minor effect on the story, so it is completely optional. If you want to go for it, feel free to change your spell list to refect the new 'flavour'. I did have an idea for the flaws, if you're interested. I thought that they could be related to the vampire side of her heritage, that she is extremely sluggish and sleepy during the day, which causes her flaws. Since that would alter the flaws so that they effect her during the daylight hours only, I'd want to add a third, 'extra' flaw, to balance things out. I was thinking of "positive energy reversal", which would mean that the character takes damage from cure spells and heals from inflict spells, like an undead, and can be affected by turn undead. Or perhaps, if that one seems too severe, light sensitivity, like the drow's weakness. The whole flaw 'package' would be a reflection of her vampire traits. Here's some information your character would have about the backstory of the adventure. Feel free to incorporate any of this into your character's history: [SBLOCK]About twenty years ago, Lord Boroman ir'Dayne led an expedition to the Frostfell. It is considered to be the only truly successful expedition--Lord Boroman's party actually went deep inland, while other explorers had merely charted the shorelines. But one of the explorers did not return. Grinton Steed, listed in the records as an 'equipment wrangler', vanished. According to Lord Boroman, Steed had a difficult time adjusting to the harsh conditions, and died out on the ice. From your research, you have discovered that Grinton Steed was the last person to hold the [i]Grimoire Arcanamacha[/i], and Lord Boroman or his crew did not bring it back with them. Therefore, it must still be out there somewhere, perhaps in Steed's grave. Lord Boroman's record of the expedition was very interesting, but he made no further trips.

Aside from a few bizarre and horrible monsters, the Frostfell was empty. That's why Quentin Voddlegrok was ridiculed so heavily when he announced his intention to travel to the Frostfell in search of the Dwarves--everybody knew there were no Dwarves in the Frostfell!
