Speaking of which, is everyone really going to make their offensive weapon +10 damage? Really guys? Come on.I mean, it is literally the example given in the OP.
Sounds about right.I'm down. The only requirement I have is that Ella stays in Norethra until she's 16. Everything else is open to adjustment.Sounds good to me. Easy to get now that I think on this line of events. Since Ki and Art are locals (probably, I think) they could easily have met a bit before our most noble lady of war. Art would have always been a urchin as far back as she remembers, stealing and rough housing to get her daily bread turning into mugging and robbery for food and profit. Eventually she gets caught by Ki and after some fast talk convinces the paladin that she's just doing everything for her boss who she can't refuse because of his power, so they reach an agreement and Art leaves with Art to adventure and right wrongs or something. Which leads into meeting EllaAlright, so presumably we've got our buddy cop duo wandering around. Ella shows up looking for ADVENTURE! that preferably also involves helping people. Buddy cops presumably provide that, either via Ki's paladinry, Art's not-quite-legal-ness-but-its-for-a-good-cause-have-you-met-my-partner-I-think-youd-like-her, attempting to stop the same villainy, or some other condition. Yan wanders in from his god's spirit quest, decides for whatever reason one or all of the aforementioned members are good wind candidates, buddies up with them somehow.
Or something. Kind of tired.
Maybe Yan figures a willful noblewoman on a righteous quest from across the sea is about as adventurous and serendipitous as you can get, she agrees that it'd be nice to have some help (and slippery help at that)? Then the two groups bungle each other's attempts to raid a gang hideout or something, and everybody gains a functioning party? Still need to wait for our controller to figure out how well he'd slot into this, though.
Still, hash out details and figure out the wizard, and we've almost got a coherent group backstory!
Why not tie together all three?Also, I don't know if you saw but I was interested in tying together Backstories with you.Right, right. Giant scoundrel and tiny paladin make an amusing duo, especially as one's implied to be more pragmatic and the other... isn't. I suspect kobolds might not be a routinely civilized race, so odds are decent that Kikrik wandered out of the hills somewhere and has been catching raised eyebrows every since.
Off the top of my head, Kikrik could be keeping Artemesia out of trouble, Artemesia could be using Kikrik as a shield or credibility piece, Kikrik could be relying on Artemesia to navigate "civilized" lands with less difficulty, or they might have more symmetrical business with each other. Taking out a (rival) gang, intercepting stolen merchandise (to return it to its rightful owners), convincing the local magistrate that the prisons are absolutely deplorable (and unfit for rehabilitation)(and I'm probably going to be staying there eventually), etc.
Otherwise, we've got an honorable but strong-willed human warlord of noble birth, an eladrin feylock following his lord's vague orders, and a mystery eladrin wizard.
Kikrik and Ella have some justice-related similarities they could potentially bond over. Both could also have a range of business with Artemesia, or vice versa. Either's enough of a wandering oddity to possibly catch Yanlias' attention. Our mystery wizard's backstory still isn't up, so he's the only one without any obvious hooks.
Ghosts are made of memory and emotion. They generate ectoplasm when they need mass to do something (move something, etc.)I generate ectoplasm when I need to do something as well.
Been distracted lately, will try to pick out a feat and get my sheet into the fancy format sometime soon.I'd say anything that lets you tank/heal better.
Taking opinions on what feat to take, incidentally.
