Message: <blockquote data-quote="DarkMoon250" data-source="post: 8108152" data-attributes="member: 7026427">(Not sure if this is the right forum for this, but here goes nothin') Hey, noob here. I want to play some DnD, and I'm working on getting prepared for my first campaign. After having read some all the necessary books, I've settled on either making a Sorcerer or a Warlock for my first character, particularly a Shadow Magic Sorcerer or a Hexblade Warlock (I like the Shadowfell lore and the monsters associated with it; sue me).I've been mixing and matching various possible PC's for either class, trying to come to a decision, but with all the ideas I came up with, I only became more indecisive. So, I want to know what y'all more experienced players think sounds the most interesting or unique.Sorcerer:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">The great-grandson of a sly and power-hungry necromancy scholar, who was the only survivor of a nightwalker attack that his great-granddad had released in an attempt to cheat death. A group of adventurers came to destroy the beast, but at the end, only he and the cleric who dealt the final blow were left. She adopted the boy and raised him in her home-city's church of Selune, and he became well known by the congregation members. However, as he grew older, the taint of the nightwalker began to reveal itself more and more, and he was feared by the congregation as a "child of Shar." As the priestess received more and more demands to destroy the darkness in their midst, the lad's adopted mother instead secreted him out of the city, gave him equipment and rations, and told him to walk by the moon to find a place to call home. And so, in this new town he has settled down in, his adventure will soon begin...</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">A member of a clan of dragonborn living in the Shadowfell, under the watch of a great Shadow Dragon who sees them as kin. This clan goes out into the gray wastes of the Shadowfell to hunt the undead for sport, serving a double purpose of bringing oneself glory within the clan and creating safer travel for all inhabitants of the plane. Being blessed by the Shadow Dragon, Draconic and Shadow Sorcerers are rather common occurrences among these dragonborn, and the emergence of these abilities signifies that a young dragonborn is now ready to join the hunt. On this particular Shadow DB's first undead hunt, he forsook all the glory-tales his elder clansmen had told him about the hunt as he realized firsthand just how terrifying the undead hordes could be. So, in his fear, he deserted his hunting party, and wound up stumbling into a shadow crossing that led to the Prime. It is in this bright new world that he must learn courage, find a way back home, and atone for his cowardice. </li> </ol>Warlock:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">A young noble set to inherit his late father's estate. During the time he spent trying to nurse his father back to health, he heard the duke often speaking of "sealing the blade" and "the Dread One." While this lad knew nothing of the latter, he suspected the blade his father spoke of to be Tyrantsfall, the glaive his legendary ancestor had allegedly used to slay the evil mage-lord that once terrorized the land his family now governed. On the night before he was to be coronated as duke, he visited the treasury where Tyrantsfall was held, pondering what about the dull and dusty glaive that so bewitched his father. What happened next, he only has fractured memories of: an eye in the glaive's base, a chorus of whispers, a land of shadow and mist, and a dark form referring to him as "the inheritor of the pact." He doesn't know what this figure is, or what it wants (yet), but he knows that his fate is no longer his to decide.</li> </ol>Sorry if this is long or over-detailed for a backstory. I'm just excited to get into this game <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
