Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil. ( CLOSED. )

[Dire Lemming]

Hm, I'm debating with myself whether I should get involved in another game. Especially one that's the sequel to a module I'm currently playing for the first time. What do you think? I'd probably be a human monk. Though maybe a cleric instead if no one else is interested in that. Good alignment.

I submitted a cleric.

I've come up with a background that features a close bond with one of the original adventurers, but not an actual biological relationship. This could be easily altered if such a relationship is necessary, but let me know what you think

Mahto Jilwise: human Bardic Sage (from Unearthed Arcana)

Delibrius Veerner was among those much-vaunted heroes who shattered the Temple of the Evil Elemental Gods. A crafty adventuring wizard, he bent his spells to cutting a fiery swath through the Temple's minions, and boosting his companions toward their eventual victory. Fate seemingly pays no mind to karma, however, and the many trials the group faced left Delibrius near-crippled. Seeing that his adventuring career was over, he used the funds and moderate fame from his final venture to found a university for bards, wizards, and all others who wished to gain knowledge to be used in bettering the wider world.

Mahto Jilwise is one of those students. An up-and-coming bard and scholar, he has studied closely with Delibrius, and has learned much of the lore pertaining to the Temple, an area of research that has become something of an obsession of his master over the years. Now, word has reached the school that suspiciously familiar happenings are being visited upon Hommlet. The knowing look that Mahto and Delibrius shared upon hearing the news said all that was needed; Mahto was the student most qualified to address the threat and put the university's principles into practice, and he was determined to see that the sacrifices made by his mentor and friend had not been in vain.

Arren Vernost, Elven fighter. Fifteen years ago, Arren's father Valyn died while venturing into the temple who's evil plagued the village of Hommlet. When the surviving members of the group returned after pacifying the site, a single missive was mailed out to the family. Now Arren has heard rumors of the evil returning, and is determined to stop it before it destroys any more families. With a simple farewell to his mother and sister, Arren picked up one of his father's spears and left his village.

I edited what concepts I've been submitted so far. We've 11 people interested and I'm hoping more to come. I like having a variety to pick from. I'll be accepting submissions until Weds (9/15). So! Keep 'em coming!

 

[Neurotic]

Dwarf genasi

I dno't think the concept is so strange, after all, what race would be often in contact with earth elementals ? Dwarves are ECL +0 so it probably +1 is not broken or anything.

Anyhow, if you don't allow it but allow Sub-races from Quintessential dwarf, there are sacred dwarves with this description: after generations of living in elementak earth place seeking rare ores dwrves became morev and more like elementals themselves...

If you don't allow it I would play human earth tolgerien knight. I don't right now remember rm what sourcebook that is but is something like elemental paladin...

Other possibilities abound.

Thanks for including me, since I got twins I didn't have a chance to play

Bye 'till monday

Name: Narib.
Race: Human.
Class: Fighter.

Background: Narib Sanuc grew up having anything a boy could ever want, except the love of Richard, his father. Richard left when Narib was still in his mother's womb, and came back with riches and fame. Richard didn't stay home for very long, there was always an Orcish hoard to fight, or a princess to rescue, or a dragon that needed slaying. The only interaction Nairb ever had with his father was screaming matches over "why can't you be more like me." At seventeen Nairb decided to try and be more like Richard and ran away to make his way in the world. When he heard rumors of evil returning to Homlett, site of his father's first triumph over evil, it was only natural that Nairb would try to investigate. Little does he know what he is getting into.

Personality: Nairb is still a spoiled child at heart. Almost everything he does is out of self-interest and/or egomania. Despite that, Nairb tries to help people he encounters, if only because it makes him feel good.

Appearance: See attached picture.

Hey I am interested been wanting to do this one for a while. I will submit a concept in a few hours.

 

[TwistedMindInc]

I dno't think the concept is so strange, after all, what race would be often in contact with earth elementals ? Dwarves are ECL +0 so it probably +1 is not broken or anything.

The problem is not with the +1 ECL, but with the fact that dwarf and genasi are both races. You can't be both. It's one or the other. I couldn't be a halfling bug bear, do you see what I mean?

 

[silentspace]

I see there are no arcanists, so I would happily play one! I will submit a concept soon.

I haven't been in a game for a while, but I'm looking forward to being in one again
