Message: <blockquote data-quote="Digital M@" data-source="post: 8949704" data-attributes="member: 13987">I wanted to create a list of 20 player secrets for my PC's to roll before making there characters and am looking for ideas and inspiration. Backgrounds don't make much of a difference in this campaign as they will not be in their world so I thought secrets would be a great way to help create flavor. The secrets don't need to be linked to the module, just something to make the character interesting. I am running this for mostly new/ish players and I also thought this could help them flesh out the characters. I am doing all human campaign unless you roll another race on your secret. Some quick ideas I had:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">You were once attacked by a were creature and were partially contaminated – use Shifter race from Ebberon</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Emblem cloak pin of a silver dragon that you followed to the town. It would get warm when you went the “right way” and cold when you went the wrong.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Made a deal with a devil – You were told to be at this town and convince a group to go into the mists with you. You know there is more to than meets the eye about these mists, but you do not know what. You have resistance to fire damage and something else TBD</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">You are a Mystique warforged who looks completely human. A brigand group found you locked in a sarcaughagus that was being transported by a caravan. They open the sarcaughagus and are freaked out to find you in there. Without understanding what you are doing, you quickly kill 3 brigands and the final two run away. There are broken wagons still smoldering, dead bodies of the trade caravan scatter the ground. You start as true neutral and can choose where your alignment goes from there. You are relearning what and who you are.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">You are the servant of a great wizard who failed to return home several years ago. Finally after searching through his papers you not only discovered his whereabouts, you finally have a means of getting there.</li> </ol></blockquote>
