[QUOTE="Mathalus, post: 5430048, member: 6667665"] HandofMystara, Think of something that your character needs a sorcerer for. Maybe you need a magic item made? Or researched? Perhaps someone is cursed? Conflict within the party is fun, but you need to find an even bigger reason to be forced to work with us. What could lead a Traladorian to work with a Thyatian of such dubious origins? I'm from Karameikos orginally. Do we have shared history? Can I help a loved one of yours? Maybe you made a promise to someone about me? I have a half-brother here at the keep. Perhaps he has won you over, and has told you to look after me? Did someone turn your friend into a zombie and you need help changing them back? Do you keep your zombie friend locked up in a crypt while occasionally feeding it deer and cursing yourself? Do you need help constructing a spirit lure to catch your friend's soul? Or installing a spirit tether to make them human again? Feel free to get crazy. This is fantasy. Or... Why would a religious zealot do anything? Maybe because GOD SAID. Remember, to have that Faith trait you need to believe in something otherworldly, sometimes without logical motivations. That's why it's called Faith, and not, Critical Reasoning. Just tell us what your god said in your dream/vision quest/blood ritual/angel molestation. How is your god going to test your faith? What is the best way to serve your god? There is some crazy cult in that cave. Do you need to kill them? Or help them? Or... Why not try to convert us? Alternatively, why do you need a confessor? What could tie you to Constance? Have you done something wrong? Fallen out with your god? Or do you need the friendship of some dwarves so you can arm your uprising? Maybe you need to watch what the elven spies do? Do you need to report on their activities to your leadership? Just come up with half a dozen beliefs and Engrishonly will help you winnow them down to three and make them nice and strong. [/QUOTE]
