[QUOTE="Scrivener of Doom, post: 6994207, member: 87576"] This one is definitely the easiest. What about a bodyguard for a former templar of Kalak who lost his or her life and/or position in the events following Kalak’s death? Why artificer? That really doesn’t suit Athas at all and, as it’s a multiclass rather than a core concept, wouldn’t it make more sense to ditch this in favour of something that suited Dark Sun? Otherwise, and this applies even if you keep artificer, I can imagine her being the keeper/apprentice keeper of some ancient Green Age ruin of a temple of knowledge (imagine bas reliefs of sphinxes and whatnot) where she communes with the ghosts who teach her mysteries of the past. That explains her theme, the warlord hybrid, and even the artificer MC. Yeah, artificer is doable, especially with the ghost of the past theme. The only question then becomes: Why is she adventuring? Perhaps a monster moved into the ruin. Perhaps her ghosts sent her on a vision quest (imagine seeking out a seed of a tree of life). Perhaps the seismic activity and/or a major sandstorm has buried the ruin. The first thought I had was that he disguises himself as a human child. Sure, he’s miles away from being a Dark Sun halfling but that’s OK; now he’s an orphan who survived on the streets of Tyr by disguising himself as a human child and living by his wits and nimble fingers. And then, one day, he picked the pocket of the wrong mul who was desperately trying to flee the chaos after Kalak’s death and he agreed to get him out of the city where, suffering from exhaustion and exposure, they stumbled into the camp of a mysterious druid. Or something like that. [/QUOTE]
