D&D 5E Return to The Temple of Elemental Evil - (full, at the moment)

[River Song]

Yeah the adventure takes part in and about the same area so no need for all those others. I may add an NPC speaking one for flavor but not needed otherwise.

Another character reviewed Lady Rebekah

- first thing I would suggest is a change in skill choice; change out History for Stealth - A lady would never eavesdrop, but then again.
- under features you should list fey ancestry and darkvision, I think Gwylla also needs to do this not sure
- love the backstory and the bond - we're going to say that the mark who is pursing you is a Half-Orc (given your language choice) we will develop this as needed not all at once I'm thinking of using him to get her out of town and go along on adventures

I like the idea of stealth but it came down to 'A lady should always have something fascinating to talk about' and 'Without a good understanding of our history and people's standings society would collapse, why anyone could practically claim to be of noble birth!'

I will add Darkvision and Fey Ancestry

Cool with the mark being half-orcish.

Hmm. I need a good hook for my druid. I have another elf druid in a Princes of the Apocalypse game, and I find myself starting to make the same druid again here, and that's no good.

Moon Druid...perhaps my druid is a little crazy, a little feral. Not a normal person. One foot off the reservation.

That could make it more distinct, more fun.

Maybe one step away from lycanthropity (is that a word?) There is a small grove in Hommlet with a druid living there. Character going to look for a cure perhaps, or more control. All your character wishes to do is live peacefully but starts to "Hulk" out when trouble happens.

Not sure your race, but a dwarven sudo-werebear outsider background that is a pugilist by nature sounds interesting.

 

[Shayuri]

I actually had a character back in the day who was fighting lycanthropy and turned to druidism to control it. Human originally, though I made a new version that was a wood elf.

But now I'm thinking human again.

I do like that idea. A character with a darker undertone. With a real struggle.

Admittedly, wild shape isn't until level 2...but level 1 usually goes fairly fast.

We can have you struggling from lvl one. Or Shayuri's character "I feel it inside me trying to get out. It wants to be free and I can't fight it any longer."

 

[Shayuri]

You can use it twice per short rest, yar.

Yeah, I'm thinking maybe she has some kind of medicine or something she can use to stave it off in the short-term.

Then we can have a nice moment where she runs out, or the jar gets smashed, and it's all "oh noooooes."

Oh i c

Well that is it for me folks, nite all.

 

[Binder Fred]

Kid lycanthrope druid, Shayuri? Might fit well with Rana?

 

[Shayuri]

Rana, eh? Lemme see what you have going with Rana...

Hmm!

Interesting notion!

Perhaps Rana knows of the druid in Hommlet, and is taking my character to see him?
