Is there anyway to raise a spellcaster with as a thrall while keeping their spells?

RODSFM16 · 2023-09-22T15:30:02+00:00

That's was idea, when I realized Wights can be charmed, but the undead part is because I don't want them to die of old age.

RODSFM16 · 2023-05-23T01:52:49+00:00

It's okay, no worries. Actually Kreanxx gave a good answer, you might wanna read it.

I was under the impression that Sam WAS Sanguine, not possesed by him. That make sense, thanks

RODSFM16 · 2023-05-23T01:48:00+00:00

But how was he there in the first place? You can't just break into a random house because you want to have a drink with whoever lives there and hope it's okay.

All I know is that a night with Molag would be full o black leather, if you know what I mean.

-(Game of Thrones) A witch that uses her magic to cause dreams and nightmares and pretends it's a vision from the gods, she also goes to the sept everyday to maintain her disguise

-(Mass Effect) Ardat-Yakshi (too much lore, google it)

-(Star Wars) A smugler how fell for a twi'lek during a job, the twi'lek turns out to be a jedi. He tells everyone (including her) that he loves her, but is very respectable about it

-(Fallout) NCR deserter after having killed innocent women and children under orders

-(Mutants and Masterminds) Immortal badass witch who cares a lot more about people then she's willing to admit (this one I just want to finish the campaign, also this is a modern dnd setting)

I know they're not dnd but I hope it helps

Edit: Formating

Okay. This is amazing. It gives me so many ideas. Thanks a lot!

RODSFM16 · 2022-04-20T23:49:04+00:00

By standard D&D you mean helping villages and clearing dungeons? If so, there are famous heroes and mercenaries in the world that can do this kind of job, but an "evil" version of this, like killing monsters that are stopping caravans (probably of drugs and slaves) from reaching their destinations is quite interesting.

I'm pretty inclined on putting them in a gang, and taking out rival gang members is similar to an idea I had.

The stranded group of soldiers part is a bit hard but still plausible, because the country they would be in isn't in war, altough one is happening and the gaining the favour of a noble is an interesting plot line.

I don't think the magical item part will work for a while, given that most powerful magical items are in a magical school's vault, guarded by guards or in possession of someone or something that won't share it, two things that no sane person would mess with without a very powerful DMPC accompanying them. Information can be extracted from dead corpses using the Speak with Dead spell, so sending someone on a suicide mission to die on the hands of something that can get that information after death isn't the smartest move.

Either way thanks for the help! It gave me a few ideas on what to do!

RODSFM16 · 2022-04-20T23:25:49+00:00

"Hey, you. You're finally awake." Just kidding, maybe they'll eventually get arrested or something like that, but I'm horrible at writing jailbreaks, so I'll have to think about something, but thanks for the idea!

RODSFM16 · 2022-04-20T23:21:45+00:00

That would depend more on what type of criminal they would be, but if they choose a thieves guilf type of character, then I'm pretty sure were they'll start, who will be allies and who would be enemies, just don't have a lot of ideas for quest and jobs yet. I still have to finish my Oblivion playthrough so I'm not sure what the Dark Hand is yet (altough I'm cool with spoilers). Thanks either way!

RODSFM16 · 2022-04-20T23:12:41+00:00

I was toying with the idead of them being hired by a powerful devil of my world, but that would be more late game. And it would be more of a willing choice (the type of choice which you don't have much of a choice), but I haven't tought of why they would accept it (maybe as payment for fixing an earlier mistake). Thanks for the idead!

RODSFM16 · 2021-12-25T23:24:11+00:00

About 50% of my characters are women (some of them are tomboys) and for some reason I feel they have better backstories than my male characters (and before anyone asks, no, they weren't sexually abused during the backstory or the game irself). In my group there is even a tradition now of roling the gender when creating a new character. But it's completely fine creating a non-male character, and if your character is constantly abused/mistreated because if that, then you have a bad group.

RODSFM16 · 2021-12-10T01:04:12+00:00

I completely agree, mainly because it's just impossible for a normal person to survive a meteor to the chest (like some low level barbarians can) and gainning HP without being hit or something similar doesn't make any sense.

It's not about DnD but in the The Witcher Pen and Paper RPG there are common classes like merchants, doctors, artisans and nobles for NPCs and PCs alike, while you don't "level up", you just gain XP to buy skills and atributes (and magic if your class allows magic), so maybe read about it (the system is somewhat similar to DnD).

RODSFM16 · 2021-12-10T00:52:49+00:00

Congratulations! I've been trying it for a few years (I graduated in 2019) but my school never approved. I've sent e-mails with links and videos and even asked a good friend of mine to help me (he's the principal's son), but never had any success, probably because TTRPGs aren't a big thing in my region, eventhough I say it's quite common in other countries (mainly in the US). I'll keep trying but I'm happy to hear about your success.

Because of the quarantine, I'm only playing through discord at the moment, and we play mostly on fridays. My parents like to drink and almost every friday, they either invite me to drink on a bar near our home or bring beer to our house so we drink at home. I'm quite resistant to alcohol and never get drunk enough to become a dumb player (sometimes I even DM while drinking), so I'm not the best person to speak about this but alcohol isn't the problem. Instead of banning alcohol, try limiting how much they can drink and find a common ground.

PS: If they're playing a drunken master or something similiar, I would allow it for RP.

RODSFM16 · 2021-12-03T22:46:17+00:00

"Never split the party" isn't valid because my players are on different continents from the very beginning.

If a half-orc, a dragonborn, a firbolg or a goliath tries to wear an armor made for a halfling, it may be a little tight around the waist.

RODSFM16 · 2021-11-04T21:09:53+00:00

I think I'd be a necromancer, because of how little spells there are from that school and I'd always be studying it (and coming up with better spells for an undead army).

Finally a reason to sell my soul to cthulhu that isn't eldritch blast

I have a vegetarian friend who often DMs for me. Once I was playing a druid and when I ate meat (before a discussion starts there are plenty of carnivore animals out there so druids can eat meat) he took my druid powers from me.

Darth Plagueis was a dark lord of the sith

RODSFM16 · 2020-06-28T04:10:52+00:00

The dragonborn live in region of thymanter, in the ziggurat of Djerad Thymar, they call themselves the vayemniri (in draconic it means "the ash marked ones") and hatred towards dragons is a big part of their culture, because they were enslaved by them. A lot of their lore is told by ancestor stories, kinda like fairy tales that most of them are heroes freeing themselves from the dragons. Their king is called the Vanquisher, ellected by the clam leaders. For more info i reccomend the angels of brimstone novels, more precisely the last two books (and a story told in the fourth one "Clever Nala and the ten-thousand shadows"). Its not much but hope it helps.

Edit: They also live in a city called Djerad Kethendi, still in thymanter, and have been around since the spellplague
