Gorak. You might want to go over your skills again. Mojh get a racial bonus to knowledge-runes, not spellcraft. Probably better for you anyway.
As far as our backgrounds are concerned, let's say we lived in a small village along the southern banks of the Ghostwash called "Laris." The town is largely comprised of humans, but a few local sibbecai caught onto our intentions to become mojh and alerted the giants. Laris is close to De-Shamod (say 35 miles east of the city), so it gets a lot of attention from giants.
After some internal debate, I'm keeping my character as is. I like having the skills and I can always pick up another class along the way.
Thanks mpickett81,
I have all of this on Excel,. and the bonus was on the wrong line.
Laris sounds cool. I like the smaller village idea. Smaller commuity=more outrage
So, would our parents be just regular people, like farmers? Hey, lets our mother or father be the local pharmacist/alchemist. That would explain why we both have ranks in alchemy and are both damn smart, and weould definitely cause the giants to pay attention to him, since his name would be somewhat known inthe area. Also, the small town's folk would have been freaked out when a lot of cloked lizards started showing up. This would also have attrected the giant's attention.
Now, I'm not too familiar with Mojh strongholds, but we need to determine where we went to for the transformation. I say that we learned about the trasformation ritual, contacted them is some way (maybe by us or our father going to De-Shamod to trade goods). Anyways, they helped us, found 2 bodies modified and masked by magic, we faked our deaths, went to the Mojh stronghold, and voila, here we are.
I think it would be good to figure out why would the Mojh help us. What's in it for them. Do we owe them a favor? Did our father know a Mojh thour adventuring in his youth, and that Mojh owed him a favor (actually, this concept is not bad!). Hey how about this: since the disease is congenital, we already have relatives that know about the trasformation as a cure ,a nd went through the ritual to live. It's like a great family secret: some of us must transform to survive. Sometimes, it skips a generation, and that's what our parents were hoping for (teenage werewolf anyone?
) Our town could be known as a "hotspot" for mojh, because they often show up there for no "apparent rerason" (i.e. family reunions!). The Giant's started paying attention because of the sheer number of mojh that came to town, before our "funeral". So, the Mojh enclave we went to was actually mostly populated by our kin, and other with the disease (still relatives, but from farther away int he family tree). I think this enclave would be more "balanced" without the whole "mojh are evil" aspect. However, the resentment towards the giants would be ubiquitous, and tangible.I like this one!
What do you think?
Cheers,
