Dawnforge Campaign - The True Kings - Calling my Active Players!

[doghead]

Great. I'll update the RG thread tomorrow. I'm happy enough to leave any legendary stuff in your hands. Use it as a plot device, whatever you want.

BTW, I get the feeling that Hiitar is going to be quite an abrasive character at times. I apologise in advance to everyone. My characters sometimes can be quite willful.

A couple of quick clarifications. What are the main races of the Dominion? Teifling, night-elf?, Yuan-ti? anything else? I assume that they have their fair share of humans as well. How about in the Kingsmarch?

From the Dawnforge Campaing Setting.

"Only about one-fifth of the people of the Dominion are Tieflings, that number has increased over the centuries. The human population accounts for almost half, with the remainder a mixture of various races - of which halflings are the most numerous. Even some yuan-ti make their homes in Dominion lands, though they are mistrusted more than any others."

The Kingsmarch is a little more difficult. It says dwarves and giants sometimes form settlements of the foothills of the Stromfell Mountains. The rest of the population is human. Although there are five nations each is unique in physical characterstics. (I assume Trueborn and Lowlanders)

Come on, you're GMing Zaeryl Alant. You know I can do that too

Isida - Do any of the characters know each other, either by reputation or personally?

It seems as if we have been gathered here by reputation, so we don't know each other yet (at least it isn't in my history). Ssiran has built a reputation for heroic acts and protecting the innocents and those who are ostracised as a Trueborn by the name of Raynard Liore, so Aravir will have heard of him by that name if at all.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

We can say we all know of each other by reputation at least, and if a few of you want to say you've worked together before or even are friends, be my guest. The stories you've all heard of the others paint them as true heroes fighting against the Dominion on behalf of the Kingsmarch, so you can put a little trust in that at least, even if you may have some issues with the people themselves.

doghead, the tieflings mostly rule over all the other humans/halflings with an iron rod. They're fiend-summoning, fiend-blooded, clever, and cruel. Though they make up the minority of the population of the Valhedar Dominion, they are the leaders and upper crust. When someone from the Kingsmarch thinks of someone from the Dominion, they think of one of the tiefling legionaires, bravos, or diabolists, rather than the downtrodden humans and halflings that make up the backbone of their slave-based culture.

Yeah, the Dominion has a bad rep, they're the people everyone loves to hate.

Hiitar updated. The changed Int gave him an extra language. So I added King'sTongue to the bonus languages (does the speaks/writes distinction exist in Dawnforged?), and added Halfling and Elven to the speaks section. The Halfling replaced KingsTongue, and Elven was a left over Talent skill point I didn't use for his regualar skills in this build. Previously it was put into Prof (soldier).

I think that that is it.

doghead--I think you forgot to upgrade the Hit Dice to d10s. I noticed this because you had fewer hit points than Ssiran I think you still will have barely more, though, even though he has d4 Hit Dice and you have d10 and we have the same Con. The secret is a healthy diet, good exercise, and Psionic Body coupled with lots of Psionic Feats

And no smoking and drinking, go to bed early, and avoid sleeping on damp ground.

Thanks RA. Max first and 5/6 after that I assume.

BTW, I assume that the infernal summoning pits of d02oom are fairly deep in Dominion territory?

Actually, I was thinking the same thing, so I had Ssiran ask IC
