[QUOTE="Salicus, post: 8025019, member: 7024834"] Hello Again, after I started the campaign and two people left because of time issues, i got the slots filled and am now thinking how to best invest people into the campaign and give them their moments. I didnt read through the whole campaign, only the first adventure completely and the second for most of it. I also dont know if things that I have come up with actually make sense in terms of storytelling so any help would me much appreciated. I have 5 Characters in my group: 1. Is a Paladin from the Aqualine Cross who actually found a relic of Mercineum and turned into kind of a Warlock. At least for class that is. So he is the one I have the biggest problem coming up with a good thing to invest him in. I thought of giving him a quest by Mercineum which is about retrieving an artifact to be able to rebuild the fate in Mercineum again. But I dont know where I could put that in. I thought of using Mad Kings Banquet for that, but not sure yet. 2. Is a Monk of the West Wind. He is actually a Taranesti out of Innenotdar and I thought just giving him the living blade and saying something about the lines of that he is part of the Bloodline of Anyariel. But as far as I could read Anyariel is a female and actually was in love with a nymph so probably not really having kids or anything =/. Still I wanted him to get invested into Innenotdar and even thought about him meeting his mother or an other close relative who he fought died in the fire. But maybe that relative was revived by the Fire Forest. Depends on how good the PC roleplays though. About the Living Blade I am kinda sure, since he is a Elf out of that Forest and I dont want people to fight over the living blade tbh(namely the paladin who might be interested as well) 3. Is a Rogue Assassin whose backstory is, that he is a bastard son of Barazar who took his mother when they seized the land south of Sindaire. His mother was a Sindaire noble and I thought of her returning to Sindaire and maybe even be part of the Rebellion that was brewing in Korstull. Maybe he finds his dead mother in Korstull who wanted to give him a specific family heirloom or something. But she is dead obviously. 4. Is a Ranger from the new Subclass(thanks for that btw.). He is a Taranesti of Phorros Irrendra and I pretty much thought of giving him something much later on in the Echo of Souls where he might get something made by his old tribe or something. Not sure about that one yet but I still have a lot of time for that and he just joined last week. 5. The last one is an Elven child of 17 years. He is very young and his spellcasting is pretty much not a lot of thought rather then just doing it. He took the new Sorcerer Subclass and for him I just want to have him get in contact more and more with his trillith to the point where he can talk to him about pretty much everything. Maybe even later he will lose it because the trillith may sacrifice himself or something I dont know yet. But I want him to get invested with the spirit and have him see as a friend that he has with him. Any advice is much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
