[QUOTE="Goddess FallenAngel, post: 4067858, member: 11434"] [sblock=Pinnacle] I can always come up with a less difficult background. :) I think this is the person I was thinking of - I've played about half-way through this module before, and I thought I remembered someone fitting this description. That was one of the things I was worried about with this NPC. I thought it would be a good way to cement why my character is in the party - having his employer murdered - but it doesn't show as a good track record on my part. On the other hand, it might be a good roleplaying opportunity - a warforged struggling with the feelings of guilt for having failed so badly, and being driven to increase his skills so that it doesn't happen again - and directing his efforts towards protecting the party, especially if they try to find the murderer and/or carry on with Provost Bonal's task (I don't recall the specifics of the modules, but I assume that one of those two are at least a short-term motivator for the PCs). I'll try to at least get the basics of a character sheet posted here today while we work out the background details. I'm actually thinking that possibly being the Provost's bodyguard, or maybe just knowing him personally, would be a good motivator for the character - and interesting to RP for me. If it is okay with you, of course. Being a DM is a lot of work as-is - I don't want to be a trouble player and make more work for you if I'm chosen as one of the players. :) [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
