[QUOTE="Laundreu, post: 1816294, member: 23002"] So far, of the three players I have, there is a Gnome Wizard, a Goblin Cleric, and a Halfling Swashbuckler (CombatWombat51's Duellist). I have the [i]tiniest party ever[/i]. That said, there is the beginnings of a background story for the PCs being formed. The Gnome PC was taught her Wizarding skills by a Wizened Old Hermit (tm), who is in actuality a half-elf. He's hiding out in this frontier town because, with the Elves still on the prowl, he and his kind are not well-liked - whereas, in frontier town, nobody really [i]cares[/i] - he may be a half-elf, but the Volcae are the problem, and so long as he helps defend the town against any incursions, they'll not bother him. Even let him inside the walls during attacks. Of course he's not allowed to live inside the town limits any [i]other[/i] time. There are limits, after all. There was another reason why Sitio Sagaula the Half-Elf moved to this town - he was helping an old comrade of his. Jupa Dellion, a halfling swashbuckler of some skill but little reknown, was fleeing the city they lived in not too long after the Sundering. With her was a small halfling child, her grandson. Evidentially, his parents were nobles, activists, and also loyalists to the original government when that government can no longer be contacted due to the whole 'our world has fractured into chunks' thing. When the city formed itself into a sovereign nation in and of itself, they protested. Voices were raised, threats were made, and at the end of the day both parents were killed in staged 'duels'. The child was supposed to go next, before his granny kicked in the door, generally kicked ass and took names, and then got in touch with her old partner Sitio. Together they headed for the frontier, where it would be safe from pursuing assassins. And so, for the past fourteen years, the pair has lived in (or around) the town, helping to defend it against Volcae, and generally been fairly quiet. The halfling boy grew up, and Jupa taught him her skills as he grew - his parents were affluent nobles, and disdained the physical training necessary to be a swashbuckler. Her grandson would not be in the same position. Anywho, I need to come up with a good 1st level adventure for these characters. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Also, mostly-unrelated question: What happened to Ambidexterity? I can't seem to find it in the PHB or the SRD. Was it gotten rid of without anybody telling me? ;_; [/QUOTE]
