Tragedy at Silvergard OOC Thread

ethandrew, what would you say to a unique background tweak that would give your character a background tie to a character in my Gleemax Legacy of the White Huntress game?

One of the players there is considering using the half-vampire progression and the character is from Azgund. Let me know.

What sport are you referring to?

What did they have in mind specifically? Same vampiric father?

 

[crazy_monkey1956]

No details as of yet. I was actually thinking same mother...

In her background currently, her mother had a...tryst with an Emiran man while traveling in the badlands and left 3 months after the character was born.

What happened to the character's mother after that is a mystery.

If she (the character's name is Kethta) and Estelle had the same mother...it opens an intriguing possibility for Estelle, in that Estelle's mother may have already been tainted in some way, attracting the vampire to her in the first place.

And so after her time in Emiran she relocated, trying to live a normal life. But her taint attracted the evil and subsequently killed her.

It could definitely work.

What would the ramifications be in this game? DM choice?

My plan, after Tragedy and Legacy conclude, is to offer the players of both games their choice of continuation. Either next game year's Azgundi tournaments, or a "metaplot" advancing game called Convergence that ties in to my D20 Modern PbP. Either way, if both you and Kethta's player choose the same game, it will make for some interesting roleplaying opportunities.

Well it seems interesting indeed!

I edited the rolls into my post.

I am keen on doing the change in background. It's not much a change for Estelle now, perhaps much more so later. As far as she knows, she doesn't know much about her mother in the first place.

New House Rules​

New Feats

Wild Empathy [General]

You have an affinity for dealing with animals and magical beasts.

Benefit: This Feat works like the druid and ranger class ability, except the character adds her character level and her Charisma modifier to the d20 roll.​

Special: Druids and Rangers automatically have Wild Empathy as a bonus feat. They need not select it.​

Animal Companion [General]

The character may select an animal companion.

Prerequisites: Wild Empathy​

Benefit: This Feat works like the druid and ranger class ability, except the character uses her character level to determine the animal companion's abilities and what alternative companions are available at higher levels.​

Special: Druids automatically have Animal Companion as a bonus feat. They need not select it. Rangers recieve Animal Companion as a bonus feat at 4th level.​

The druid and ranger class features Animal Companion and Wild Empathy are replaced with these feats.

 

[crazy_monkey1956]

With the new feats, existing characters can swap out their old feats for these if you are so inclined...one time only, get 'em while they're hot.

Let me know if you intend to swap.
