[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 3997327, member: 18701"] Yeah I'm trying to figure out a spinoff for the Cleric involving the wizard. I'm thinking that the cleric & his adventuring party fought the wizard and he fell victim to the wizards mirror trap during a battle. His friends thought he died by the trap and one of them shattered the mirror before it could [i]kill[/i] another one of them. Destroying it caused the trapped cleric to be dumped on the planes. What the cleric doesn't know is that his friends failed and the wizard killed them all. I'm just trying to think of a reason why this wizard would look for the cleric on the planes. Any ideas? I may take another look at his magic items and see if maybe I can use one as a plot device. Maybe he took it from the wizards tower and it's much more than what the player thinks it is...so the wizard wants it back. As for the wandering character...boy did I brain fart! I completely forgot that he wrote me up a history the same night he created his PC. That was 2 months ago and I totally forgot. I actually checked my email to see if he did in fact write one and sure enough I found it. I feel stupid too, because it's quite a detailed history and a good one. Long story short; this PC ended up serving in the Blood War and was left for dead. He survived and is now roaming the planes. I like the idea of connecting him with one of the other PCs. Preferably, I'd like to connect him with the player using a Swordsage who is also a member of the Planewalker's Guild. This Swordsage player also doesn't have much connection to the campaign since he's fairly new (his old PC died over the summer). The first thought I had is to make the Soulknife recognize the Swordsage but the Swordsage has no idea what he's talking about. Perhaps the Swordsage learns down the road that everything he knew about his life is false and maybe he really served in the Blood War with the Soulknife. I could even come up with a whole scenario about how both of those PCs worked together as assassins for the Baatezu and then had their minds wiped out or something. Anyone wanna help me play off that idea? [/QUOTE]
