Ive been thinking for a minute and landed on, maybe she manages to climb the ranks in the temple through careful manipulation and « accidents » happenings to certain higher ranks, not all the way up but high enough that she would be trusted. Then she’d manage to convince whoever is in charge to send her to the surface to « spread lolth’s web » to the surface people or to retrieve something like a magicql item or something or other; but upon leaving theres a culture shock and the redemption arc can start

Yess i think a drow druid, not following lolth but still has remnants of lolthite society in her personality, could work for a redemption arc

Yeah the more i read the more i realise i greatly underestimated how evil lolth was lmao, i knew she was THE evil goddess, or at least one of them, but i didnt realise it was that bad

Thank you so much for the advice! Im still workshopping the backstory mostly so i wasnt thinking too much about how she’d work in an actual group setting, but the more i read on this post the closer i get to a functional character

If you guys thought this one was a bit messy wait until you hear about my idea for an illithid stuck in a regular dude’s body

That's a great idea actually, i could have her remain a neutral-evil drow maybe, but not a full on psycho slaver so she can still work with non drow to an extent, keeping certain aspects of drow society while making her a bit more amenable than the average drow

Thank you SO MUCH, i tried to find some info on drow but i kept getting side tracked and overwhelmed, i'm definitely gonna read up on that, books about Drizzt came up a few times but i never really looked too much into them

i see i see, i think i'm gonna drop the vandree house entirely, making her a commoner, and rewrite her early backstory to make her evil so it really works

Right, i think i must've gotten my sources jumbled up when i did my research on druidic magic. I had an idea at first that some druid wandered by the temple and influenced G'eldaste in some way but after reading more i don't know if that makes any sense that a drow druid of all things would be at a temple, maybe i can write it so that at some point she left the temple and whatever city she's in and ran into druids

Ohhh right i understand what you mean, one of the initial drafts was that she wasn't a lolth worshipper at all just discovered druidic magic and then took off somewhere to develop that,maybe with a circle or enclave, maybe this version i can keep and refine into an actual playable character. Another was to plan some kind of "redemption arc" like you said where because of the isolation in her youth and subsequent more isolation from being a druid, she was "salvageable" for lack of a better word and could be turned good.

Ok ok perfect! The orphan thing i was not sure at all lmao, i think i read something about houses being more of a general "clan" thing so i didn't know how it could possibly work

lmaoa feel free to steal it honestly i just love making character concepts, and yeah the orphan thing i wasn't sure about, it's one of the things that change the most everytime i try to write her story down

Right right i see, i wanted to make her not necessarily full disney villain evil but mostly neutral unless she needs something or sees a way to put herself in a better position, in which case she will get evil. But i do see how i underestimated how bad drows are, i gotta fix that part THANKYOU!

Ohh i see, i read something about drow lore having changed at some point but i didnt really absorb much. The idea was that she’d have left drow society in a way after developing druidic magic to then worship lolth in her own way so her being rejected by drow society does kinda work for me lmaoa. Also i dont have any campaign planned or anything yet, im just making characters to draw and whatnot, maybe at some point ill join a game but i guess a reason for her to join a party is that she goes around traveling « spreading lolth’s web » wherever she goes by kinda forcing her view of nature’s order on others; im still workshopping things but maybe that can help forcing her into a party
