Message: <blockquote data-quote="EzekielRaiden" data-source="post: 8642030" data-attributes="member: 6790260">Sounds not too far off from how I run my DW game, [USER=87792]@Neonchameleon[/USER]. That is, of the players currently in the group or on hiatus, we have:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A Bard who has actively dabbled in various other things (esp. thievery) and specialized in healing, but is branching out. His story has centered on his tiefling heritage and what it means, so his powers have grown by becoming first a proper cambion, and then something beyond cambion. (Long story short, he absorbed the fiendish power that had made some people the party likes into tieflings, freeing them from this unwanted connection, because the being who granted that power is his devilish ancestor on his dad's side; this power turned him into an effective half-devil. Then he also took on his maternal great-grandmother's succubus powers....so he's now, in a sense, 90% human, 50% devil, 50% incubus.)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A Druid who has pulled at the edges of knowledge, and in so doing...basically found God. Or at least that's what he believes. I've taken pains to make sure that he knows: there is no proof. He's had one "interaction" (which was left deliberately ambiguous), and all his other contact with the divine has been mediated through third parties (a couatl the party has befriended, and their close ally, Tenryu Shen, a gold dragon). These allies have made clear, even the One Themself cannot prove Their divinity beyond doubt; it must be an act of faith. But the One believes he is the right man for the mission of revealing new understandings of old, old truths.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A Battlemaster who was, once, a perfectly, completely normal half-elf. Zero magic. This made him unique in the party. Everyone else has relatively rigorous magical training. He has since slowly come to terms with that aspect of existence, and begun to learn the ways it can be turned toward war....and learned that the mysteries of his elven heritage are much more complicated than he ever expected. The powerful heirloom sword he inherited from his elven mother is the key--or part of the key--to an ancient, disappeared civilization.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A Ranger who has found God in his own way, becoming the terrible swift sword that hunts down the things which lurk in the darkness and among the dunes....and who has also learned that he is an heir to the First Sultan, twice over, that the blood runs strong in his veins, and that his dreams of leading his nomad tribe away from the comfortable city life his maternal grandmother has chosen for them may now instead bloom as founding his own city-state. But will he succumb to the temptations that his hated paternal grandfather did, and become everything he hates in the process of trying to secure everything he loves...? (Player currently on hiatus: character is off getting logistics going for the foundation of his new city-state.)</li> </ul>We also have a Spellslinger, but she's still pretty new to the party. We haven't yet worked out a suitably epic story for her. It's a work in progress.</blockquote>
