[QUOTE="Werebat, post: 6748773, member: 40158"] So the players created their characters last night. No huge surprises, although the guy playing the warlock opted at the last minute to go with half(dark)-elf instead of deep gnome. I know this had a lot to do with min/maxing, but it was fine by me and created a little variety in the party. So, next time, we begin with: * Elf brother and sister (Druid and Ranger); the ranger has drow as their favored enemy and Underdark as favored terrain. They were captured together while learning how to hunt down dark elves on their own turf (guess that wasn't the best idea). Considering that they are brother and sister, Topsy and Turvy may end up taking a shine to this pair. Ilvara will make it very clear to these two that they are only alive because they are to be sacrificed to Lolth when the time is right -- maybe a gift to a priestess relative in Menzoberranzan? * Dwarf rogue with Outlander background and the alternate feature that resembles the Outlander one, but for the Underdark. This guy was a scout for his clan, learning to serve as a guide to the deep places beneath their hold, when he got captured. Lucky for him, he has found a flint "dagger". * Deep Gnome Abjurer with the Sage background and the alternate feature that resembles the Sage one, but for the Underdark. This guy will know a lot, but will ultimately be one voice among many when the escapees voice their opinions about where they should all go. * Halfling Paladin with the Urchin background. This guy is pretty out of his element, but the presence of demons in the campaign should make him very useful. * Half(dark)-Elf Warlock with Auramycos as a patron. I really like this concept. Player still hasn't decided on a patron type, and I'm still hoping for Great Old One as it makes the most sense. He went with the Hermit background so he knows a "secret" that no one else does... Have to think of what it might be (any suggestions?). Would seem a little cheesy to make it, "You know of a vast fungal entity deep beneath the surface..." I might have Auramycos make him aware of the upcoming "wedding" with Zuggtmoy, which it does NOT want to participate in -- maybe in vague terms only. "THE WEDDING MUST BE STOPPED!", etc. [/QUOTE]
