[QUOTE="Jack99, post: 4241357, member: 53135"] Since I am the DM, I doubt I will get to play anytime soon. I have however created my own "iconic eight" for my 4e campaign, eight recurring NPC's that will be a large part of the overall campaign plot (assuming that my players do as I expect) Note for comprehension: The players will be part of a settlement that recently arrived to a new world through a portal, fleeing a world destroying undead incursion on their home plane. So far, no one know nothing of any other civilized races in the world. Horas McHactus: Human rogue. Owner of a trade empire (or as close as it gets in my PoL setting): intelligent, greedy and utterly determined to make the new world his. Aelondir Do'hal: Eladrin Warlord. Leader of the Green Whelps, an up and coming thieves guild in Drahar, the biggest city. Has been wanted for years. Killed A'koss' father, who tried to bring him in. Ruthless. Rollen Whitefeather. Elven Paladin of Asmodeus. Used to be a paladin of Bahamut. Fell in love with a cleric of Asmodeus, and was tricked into the dark side. When he found out, slew her in rage and abandoned their half-elven son Zeke. Seeks to trick Drahar into war with Blackkeep (racist Bane-controlled city). Zeke Cyriss. Half-elven wizard. A very powerful magicuser in constant struggle with his own morality. Knows a lot more about the new world (due to Leira) than he lets on. Uses the players to find out about the new world. But will he use the knowledge for good or evil? Isabella Watersnake. Halfling fighter. Popular and succesfull leader of the guard and protector of the council in Drahar. Unknown to all, even to herself, Isabella is being manipulated and controlled by a mindflayer. Plans to use her to gain control over the council. Duram Ironfoot. Dwarf Warlock. Sadistic muscle for the Dark Finders, one of the minor guilds (gangs) of Drahar. Moonlights as bodyguard/assassin for McHactus. Will probably ally with Aelondir when the Green Whelps assimilate the Dark Finders, early in the campaign. Leria Abraxus. Tiefling ranger. Native to the world of Draegor. Found an ancient portal in Qu'orath and ended up near Drahar. Fakes it as a newcomer tiefling for the moment, trying to figure out how to profit the most from this surprising turn of events. Has helped Zeke on several missions, but tries to keep him far away from discovering anything compromising. A'koss K'ham. Dragonborn Cleric. Wandering cleric of ???, searching for the murderer who killed his father. His travels has brought him to Drahar, where he for yet unknown reasons has been befriended by Zeke. Together with Leira and Zeke, he has been around exploring, but for the time being, he spends most of his time in the Black Raven Inn, drinking it's famous gin. Even though this is obviously only the short version of the NPC's, there is still a lot to flesh out, but I am looking forward getting the books, especially regarding signature powers and multiclass options.
