Doing the best imitation of myself
So I'm going to be starting Burning Sky this weekend, and the characters I've been given are...interesting. I want to tie in characters to the game as much as possible, to give some long-term plot threads to make the players part of the story.
Here's what I've got:
Dragonborn sorcerer. This one is easy. He's finding his way in the world to understand magic and give glory to his clan. I am planning on saying he made his way up to Gate Pass with another Dragonborn who is studying the forest to the south. That's a neat tie-in with the second adventure. I'm wondering if the dragonborn from that scenario will ever make a reappearance in the adventure, since that's an addition.
Genasi Swordmage (fire). This was another interesting choice. The player tells me that his character was born of normal parents, but somehow along the way he was infused with the power of fire, making him a genasi. He has no idea why this happened, and is taking "blessed by dreams." That was a great choice: I am tying him into the story in a big way, into the mythology of the four great spirit forces.
Both of those characters are solid, and I've got ideas for them...the other two, well...
Changling Rogue or Rogue Bard. Hmmn, I don't recall any doppleganger characters in the game from the 3X version, so I'm a little lost with this guy. Any thoughts?
And the real kicker:
Warforged Druid. The players idea is that a spiritual force merged, against all odds, with a mechanical being. I think that's an interesting idea, but I have no clue initially how to work it into the game, as obviously there are no warforged in the old campaign.
Any thoughts or ideas? Let me know about it!
