Message: <blockquote data-quote="darkbard" data-source="post: 6993899" data-attributes="member: 1282">Greetings! My group is new to Dark Sun and is about to embark on a 4E campaign beginning in or around Tyr itself shortly after the death of Karak, though the 4E details here aren't necessarily vital. What is vital--or, at least, would be very helpful--is those with more experience with the setting than my group lend some aid if they can. My group has a pretty strong idea of what the characters are personality wise and mechanically, but we don't know the setting well enough to fill in the blanks below.I'm playing a pretty standard mul fighter (though beginning as a MC Warlord), and I think it's easy enough to envision her as a former slave or gladiator or mercenary. However, her theme is Guardian, which allows her to interrupt an attack on a nearby ally, so I would like some help with ideas as to how she has developed her class and theme powers. Was she a bodyguard? To whom? Why might she no longer be serving in that role to an NPC? Was she born and raised in Tyr itself, or is there a more appropriate or interesting location?More importantly, however, are the backgrounds of my group mates.One is playing a human Druid of the Wastes (hybrid with Warlord and MC with Artificer) with a living zephyr companion. She reveres the primal spirits of the wastes, of course, though how she acquired her power and education is yet to be determined. She covers the INT/WIS skills for the group, and so is likely literate, and has the Ghost of the Past theme. Where might she be from? How might she have acquired her powers?The final character is a halfling Rogue (who will eventually MC Sorcerer), with split DEX/CHA scores. He handles the social interaction, CHA checks in skill challenges, and stealth. He has the Beguiler theme, which allows him to conceal himself from and slide a target of his power once per encounter. The typical halfling Forest Ridge background seems unlikely for him. He seems more urbane, or, at the very least, street smart. From where might he hail? Why is he so silken-tongued and "polished"? What other halfling communities might he have grown up in, and what experiences may have helped him develop his talents?Any and all suggestions, brainstorming feedback, etc. are most welcome and have my thanks!</blockquote>
