Pressed into service by a Banite guard, the reformed criminal known only as Falcon began his adventuring career investigating undead activity under Valhingen Graveyard in Phlan.  His investigation revealed the presence of the Cult of the Dragon, and he has fought against that cult for a majority of his adult life.

He has participated in all sorts of important military missions throughout Faerun and has visited a number of extraplanar and extraterrestrial locations throughout his adventures, including domains of dread and delight.

In civilian life, Falcon is well-meaning and mild-mannered, often seeing himself as a burden on others.  In the field, Falcon is bold and brave, ready to dive into action.

Falcon owes his allegiance to various groups in the Forgotten Realms.  He hails from Lusken and is a member in good standing with the Harpers.  It is through the Harpers that he was contacted by a family of a missing noble in Neverwinter.

Class Features[color=#000000

][/color]
Magical tinkering At 1st level, you've learned how to invest a spark of magic into mundane objects. To use this ability, you must have thieves' tools or artisan's tools in hand. You then touch a Tiny nonmagical object as an action and give it one of the following magical properties of your choice:

The object sheds bright light in a 5-foot radius and dim light for an additional 5 feet.
Whenever tapped by a creature, the object emits a recorded message that can be heard up to 10 feet away. You utter the message when you bestow this property on the object, and the recording can be no more than 6 seconds long.

The object continuously emits your choice of an odor or a nonverbal sound (wind, waves, chirping, or the like). The chosen phenomenon is perceivable up to 10 feet away.

A static visual effect appears on one of the object's surfaces. This effect can be a picture, up to 25 words of text, lines and shapes, or a mixture of these elements, as you like.

The chosen property lasts indefinitely. As an action, you can touch the object and end the property early.

You can bestow magic on multiple objects, touching one object each time you use this feature, though a single object can only bear one property at a time. The maximum number of objects you can affect with this feature at one time is equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one object). If you try to exceed your maximum, the oldest property immediately ends, and then the new property applies.

Right tool for the job - Create tools on the fly Artisans, takes one hour, vanish when use this feature again.

Magic Item Adept - When you reach 10th level, you achieve a profound understanding of how to use and make magic items'

You can attune to up to four magic items at once.

If you craft a magic item with a rarity of common or uncommon, it takes you a quarter of the normal time, and it costs you half as much of the usual gold.

Battlesmith subclass

Battle Ready
When you reach 3rd level, your combat training and your experiments with magic have paid off in two ways:

You gain proficiency with martial weapons.
When you attack with a magic weapon, you can use your Intelligence modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity modifier, for the attack and
Arcane Jolt


At 9th level, you've learn new ways to channel arcane energy to harm or heal. When either you hit a target with a magic weapon attack or your steel defender hits a target, you can channel magical energy through the strike to create one of the following effects:


The target takes an extra 2d6 force damage.
Choose one creature or object you can see within 30 feet of the target. Healing energy flows into the chosen recipient, restoring 2d6 hit points to it.
You can use this energy a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (5), but you can do so no more than once on a turn. You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Artillerist subclass

Eldritch Cannon
Also at 3rd level, you've learned how to create a magical cannon. Using woodcarver's tools or smith's tools, you can take an action to magically create a Small or Tiny eldritch cannon in an unoccupied space on a horizontal surface within 5 feet of you. A Small eldritch cannon occupies its space, and a Tiny one can be held in one hand. Once you create a cannon, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest or until you expend a spell slot to create one. You can have only one cannon at a time and can't create one while your cannon is present.
The cannon is a magical object. Regardless of size, the cannon has an AC of 18 and a number of hit points equal to five times your artificer level. It is immune to poison damage and psychic damage. If it is forced to make an ability check or a saving throw, treat all its ability scores as 10 (+0). If the mending spell is cast on it, it regains 2d6 hit points. It disappears if it is reduced to 0 hit points or after 1 hour. You can dismiss it early as an action.

When you create the cannon, you determine its appearance and whether it has legs. You also decide which type it is, choosing from the options on the Eldritch Cannons table. On each of your turns, you can take a bonus action to cause the cannon to activate if you are within 60 feet of it. As part of the same bonus action, you can direct the cannon to walk or climb up to 15 feet to an unoccupied space, provided it has legs.
Eldritch Cannon
[/td][/tr]

[/table]
Cannon
Activation
[/td][/tr][/table]
Flamethrower
The cannon exhales fire in an adjacent 15-foot cone that you designate. Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC, taking 2d8 fire damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. The fire ignites any flammable objects in the area that aren't being worn or carried.
Force Ballista
Make a ranged spell attack, originating from the cannon, at one creature or object within 120 feet of it. On a hit, the target takes 2d8 force damage, and if the target is a creature, it is pushed up to 5 feet away from the cannon.
Protector
The cannon emits a burst of positive energy that grants itself and each creature of your choice within 10 feet of it a number of temporary hit points equal to 1d8 + your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1).
[/table]
Arcane Firearm
At 5th level, You know how to turn a wand, staff, or rod into an arcane firearm, a conduit for your destructive spells. When you finish a long rest, you can use woodcarver's tools to carve special sigils into a wand, staff, or rod and thereby turn it into your arcane firearm. The sigils disappear from the object if you later carve them on a different item. The sigils otherwise last indefinitely.
You can use your arcane firearm as a spellcasting focus for your artificer spells. When you cast an artificer spell through the firearm, roll a d8, and you gain a bonus to one of the spell's damage rolls equal to the number rolled.
Explosive Cannon
Starting at 9th level, every eldritch cannon you create is more destructive:

• The cannon's damage rolls all increase by 1d8.

• As an action, you can command the cannon to detonate if you are within 60 feet of it. Doing so destroys the cannon and forces each creature within 20 feet of it to make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC, taking 3d8 force damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one.

Homunculus Servant

[/font][/b]

You learn intricate methods for magically creating a special homunculus that serves you. The item you infuse serves as the creature's heart, around which the creature's body instantly forms.
You determine the homunculus's appearance. Some artificers prefer mechanical-looking birds, whereas some like winged vials or miniature, animate cauldrons.
The homunculus is friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands. See this creature's game statistics in the Homunculus Servant stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places.
In combat, the homunculus shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the homunculus can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.
The homunculus regains 2d6 hit points if the mending spell is cast on it. If you or the homunculus dies, it vanishes, leaving its heart in its space.

steel defender

[/font][/b]

Steel Defender
By 3rd level, your tinkering has borne you a faithful companion, a steel defender. It's friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands. See its game statistics in the Steel Defender stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. You determine the creature's appearance and whether it has two legs or four; your choice has no effect on its game statistics.
In combat, the defender shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the defender can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.
If the Mending spell is cast on it, it regains 2d6 hit points. If it has died within the last hour, you can use your smith's tools as an action to revive it, provided you are within 5 feet of it and you expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher. The steel defender returns to life after 1 minute with all its hit points restored.
At the end of a long rest, you can create a new steel defender if you have smith's tools with you. If you already have a defender from this feature, the first one immediately perishes. The defender also perishes if you die.

Background
Tavi was a peculiar child, and for gnomes, that is saying a great deal. You see, it’s hard to deny that magic is a thing when it happens in front of you every day. And though part of her believed it was simply something she didn’t understand yet—an unexplored world, which couldn’t stand in her books.

Limiting oneself because of a simple diminished belief was stupid. Tavi sought all knowledge, to combine everything she learned and bring her craft to new heights. Though the world of study was never really approved of. Those who followed the Artificer’s way didn’t normally see magic for what it was. Something amazing that can add to their inventions.

Tavi has messed with trinkets and bobs since she was little. Building her friends, because making them was simply too hard. One day, while out in the woods that surrounded her hometown. Tavi was found by a wandering fay. Or perhaps finally approached is more accurate. Alaneo was a tall and fanciful creature. Color shifting skin, and limbs too long, but it was his personality that drew her in.

Alaneo stole her away, but in doing so showed her a world of wonder and possibility. The world wasn't simply filled with things she could invent anymore. It was filled with discovery and madness. Tavi was changed in her time in the fay wild, a wild look to her eyes. A wicked smile and a mind that baffles those around her. Somewhere around many years later, Tavi was exploring once more when she came upon an exit. Curiosity and a strange need to see her home plane drove her through the portal. Though she could hear Alaneo’s scream in the background as she crossed over.

Now back in the primal plane, Tavi has gathered a quick bit of attention with her inventions. Her metal companions are an amazing combination of magic and metal. The fay etching along their metal seemed to come alive when they moved. Tavi’s inventions were strange and fanciful, but they drew artificers and explorers alike. From there, she traveled to Faerun and sought to learn everything she could. Her wicked smile and bit of madness became known. But her mind quickly became one to watch. The skies are the limit with Tavi; they just aren’t sure if the sky won't burn when she does.

Class Features[/font

[/size][/color]]
Magical tinkering At 1st level, you've learned how to invest a spark of magic into mundane objects. To use this ability, you must have thieves' tools or artisan's tools in hand. You then touch a Tiny nonmagical object as an action and give it one of the following magical properties of your choice:

The object sheds bright light in a 5-foot radius and dim light for an additional 5 feet.
Whenever tapped by a creature, the object emits a recorded message that can be heard up to 10 feet away. You utter the message when you bestow this property on the object, and the recording can be no more than 6 seconds long.

The object continuously emits your choice of an odor or a nonverbal sound (wind, waves, chirping, or the like). The chosen phenomenon is perceivable up to 10 feet away.

A static visual effect appears on one of the object's surfaces. This effect can be a picture, up to 25 words of text, lines and shapes, or a mixture of these elements, as you like.

The chosen property lasts indefinitely. As an action, you can touch the object and end the property early.

You can bestow magic on multiple objects, touching one object each time you use this feature, though a single object can only bear one property at a time. The maximum number of objects you can affect with this feature at one time is equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one object). If you try to exceed your maximum, the oldest property immediately ends, and then the new property applies.

Right tool for the job - Create tools on the fly Artisans, takes one hour, vanish when use this feature again.

Magic Item Adept - When you reach 10th level, you achieve a profound understanding of how to use and make magic items'

You can attune to up to four magic items at once.

If you craft a magic item with a rarity of common or uncommon, it takes you a quarter of the normal time, and it costs you half as much of the usual gold.

Battlesmith subclass

Battle Ready
When you reach 3rd level, your combat training and your experiments with magic have paid off in two ways:

You gain proficiency with martial weapons.
When you attack with a magic weapon, you can use your Intelligence modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity modifier, for the attack and
Arcane Jolt


At 9th level, you've learn new ways to channel arcane energy to harm or heal. When either you hit a target with a magic weapon attack or your steel defender hits a target, you can channel magical energy through the strike to create one of the following effects:


The target takes an extra 2d6 force damage.
Choose one creature or object you can see within 30 feet of the target. Healing energy flows into the chosen recipient, restoring 2d6 hit points to it.
You can use this energy a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (5), but you can do so no more than once on a turn. You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Artillerist subclass

Eldritch Cannon
Also at 3rd level, you've learned how to create a magical cannon. Using woodcarver's tools or smith's tools, you can take an action to magically create a Small or Tiny eldritch cannon in an unoccupied space on a horizontal surface within 5 feet of you. A Small eldritch cannon occupies its space, and a Tiny one can be held in one hand. Once you create a cannon, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest or until you expend a spell slot to create one. You can have only one cannon at a time and can't create one while your cannon is present.
The cannon is a magical object. Regardless of size, the cannon has an AC of 18 and a number of hit points equal to five times your artificer level. It is immune to poison damage and psychic damage. If it is forced to make an ability check or a saving throw, treat all its ability scores as 10 (+0). If the mending spell is cast on it, it regains 2d6 hit points. It disappears if it is reduced to 0 hit points or after 1 hour. You can dismiss it early as an action.

When you create the cannon, you determine its appearance and whether it has legs. You also decide which type it is, choosing from the options on the Eldritch Cannons table. On each of your turns, you can take a bonus action to cause the cannon to activate if you are within 60 feet of it. As part of the same bonus action, you can direct the cannon to walk or climb up to 15 feet to an unoccupied space, provided it has legs.
Eldritch Cannon

[/table]
Cannon
Activation
[/td][/tr][/table]
Flamethrower
The cannon exhales fire in an adjacent 15-foot cone that you designate. Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC, taking 2d8 fire damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. The fire ignites any flammable objects in the area that aren't being worn or carried.
Force Ballista
Make a ranged spell attack, originating from the cannon, at one creature or object within 120 feet of it. On a hit, the target takes 2d8 force damage, and if the target is a creature, it is pushed up to 5 feet away from the cannon.
Protector
The cannon emits a burst of positive energy that grants itself and each creature of your choice within 10 feet of it a number of temporary hit points equal to 1d8 + your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1).
[/table]
Arcane Firearm
At 5th level, You know how to turn a wand, staff, or rod into an arcane firearm, a conduit for your destructive spells. When you finish a long rest, you can use woodcarver's tools to carve special sigils into a wand, staff, or rod and thereby turn it into your arcane firearm. The sigils disappear from the object if you later carve them on a different item. The sigils otherwise last indefinitely.
You can use your arcane firearm as a spellcasting focus for your artificer spells. When you cast an artificer spell through the firearm, roll a d8, and you gain a bonus to one of the spell's damage rolls equal to the number rolled.
Explosive Cannon
Starting at 9th level, every eldritch cannon you create is more destructive:

• The cannon's damage rolls all increase by 1d8.

• As an action, you can command the cannon to detonate if you are within 60 feet of it. Doing so destroys the cannon and forces each creature within 20 feet of it to make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC, taking 3d8 force damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one.

Homunculus Servant

[/b]

You learn intricate methods for magically creating a special homunculus that serves you. The item you infuse serves as the creature's heart, around which the creature's body instantly forms.

You determine the homunculus's appearance. Some artificers prefer mechanical-looking birds, whereas some like winged vials or miniature, animate cauldrons.

The homunculus is friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands. See this creature's game statistics in the Homunculus Servant stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places.

In combat, the homunculus shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the homunculus can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

The homunculus regains 2d6 hit points if the mending spell is cast on it. If you or the homunculus dies, it vanishes, leaving its heart in its space.

steel defender

[/b]

Steel Defender
By 3rd level, your tinkering has borne you a faithful companion, a steel defender. It's friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands. See its game statistics in the Steel Defender stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. You determine the creature's appearance and whether it has two legs or four; your choice has no effect on its game statistics.

In combat, the defender shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the defender can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

If the Mending spell is cast on it, it regains 2d6 hit points. If it has died within the last hour, you can use your smith's tools as an action to revive it, provided you are within 5 feet of it and you expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher. The steel defender returns to life after 1 minute with all its hit points restored.

At the end of a long rest, you can create a new steel defender if you have smith's tools with you. If you already have a defender from this feature, the first one immediately perishes. The defender also perishes if you die.

Background

Remember that you can also purchase magic items.  A rare magic item is 4000, an uncommon magic item is 400, etc.

If you need, Falcon can give you 500 so you can get two extra rare magic items.

Also, bastions.  Falcon has, like, a little poison-crafting side hustle.  Bastions are found in the DMG.

I do need to get a few diamonds for revivify. Lol I have gold still. Just wasn't sure what else to get.

Added diamonds, and special trait to pistols. :)

On the road for work, I’ll get My character worked up this weekend.

If someone else is interested love to discuss creating characters with a shared history/background.

Sounds good.  Take your time.

Proposition:

"I know Tavi," Falcon said as he flicked the ashy tip of his cigarillo.  "The Bitch* needed some repairs after an acid dip in the Nine Hells.  Heard about a leggy artificer who could do the job, and both parts--her being leggy and her being able to fix it-- were true, except... she's a lot shorter than I imagined.  I thought she was far away at first."

"Anyways, fun to look at, maddening to be around.  We may have collaborated here and there, but nothing to speak about."

The Bitch is what Falcon calls the Apparatus of Qwalish.

[TheGlyphstone]

Would this homebrew Oath of the Undying work? I was originally just going to use Oathbreaker, but this more focused on undeath specifically rather than generic 'evil Paladin'.

Sure, this is a cool homebrew.

Got the sheet mostly written up, just filling out the background - I tweaked the Merchant background slightly to make it a Slave Trader, if that's okay - just changed Skills to Intimidation and Deception.

Hey, she is taller than your average gnome! Fay touched baby! I imagine that is why some of some of her traits are exaggerate. Sample like her ears being so much long than normal. 

So yes she is leggy and a wee bit crazy. Just means she isn't scared of a little danger. 

Falcon, hmm, tall, dark, handsome. All those good human traits I hear the ladies gush over. But I know that smirk, I get that smirk just before something fun happens.

Granted, what was more interesting at the time? It was what Falcon brought me to play with. The rusty Bitch needed some TLC. And that was just what I gave it. Repaired it, and not just its motor. But the outplating, the seals, even the paint job!

So Falcon, a tricky, tricky human with the looks and the toys that lure in all the lads and ladies.

Yeah, that is fine, too.

While Frightened in this way, a target can do only one of the following on its turns: move, take an action, or take a Bonus Action.

For the next 10 minutes or until you have the Incapacitated condition, you know the location of any creature of those types within 60 feet of yourself, and you know its creature type.

Guided Strike - You can use your Channel Divinity to strike with supernatural accuracy. When you make an attack roll, you can use your Channel Divinity to gain a +10 bonus to the roll. You make this choice after you see the roll, but before the DM says whether the attack hits or misses.

Enslave Undead - As an Action, you target one undead you can see within 30ft and invoke your divine authority over it. It must make a Charisma saving throw.

The creature you create can be any type of undead (including an incorporeal undead), as long as it’s CR doesn’t exceed your Paladin level divided by 4. These undead remain reanimated for 1 hour, or until you dismiss them with a bonus action. When an undead you create with this channel divinity dies or is dismissed, it crumbles to dust or discorporates, leaving it unable to be reanimated again if it was corporeal. The undead you create cannot create spawn or other undead.

You can command these undead to move freely (no action required), but to have them take an action of any kind you must command them to do so with a bonus action. You can command any other undead under your control with this same bonus action. These undead always act immediately after your initiative in combat. Regardless of how many times you use this channel divinity, you can only control an amount of undead created with it whoes total combind CRs are less than or equal to 1/2 your Paladin level + your Charisma modifier at any given time.

General of Undeath: Undead you create with your Raise Minion Channel Divinity remain reanimated until you complete a long rest, instead of 1 hour. Upon completing a long rest, you may expend any number of Paladin spell slots to re-assert control over undead created with your Raise Minion channel divinity that would discorporate or crumble to dust, causing them to stay reanimated and under your control until you finish your next long rest. When you do this, the slots you expend must have total combined levels equal to or higher than the total combined CRs of the undead minions you are re-asserting control over by expending them. Additionally, undead you create with your Raise Minion channel divinity and necromancy spells (such as Dance Macabre) gain the following additional benefits:

• They add your proficiency bonus to their weapon damage rolls.

BACKGROUND

A lifetime ago,there was a simple merchant, a trader whose merchandise was slaves. He was nothing, any more than the next mortal man, but among his clients was a cult pledged to Myrkul, the Lord of Bones. One among their number saw the seeds of something greater in that merchant, inviting him into their ranks as an acolyte of the Reaper.

His strength and domineering authority, honed to a razor's edge by his prior career, saw him guided into a more active path of service to Myrkul. Everyone would be his in the end, but there were always individuals who warranted a more immediate introduction to death. Through blood and fire that man was broken down, and from the ashes grew a champion. A Grave Knight of Myrkul, the first in centuries, who would forevermore be known as Terminus.

For years he carried the Reaper's will into the world, acting as his mailed fist to drag those who thought they could defy death's inevitability down into Myrkul's embrace. Among the ruins of a storm giant chieftain's fortress he claimed an ancestral relic belt that bestowed its wearer the strength of titans. From the treasure hoard of a dracolich he stole a simple brooch that had soaked in the undead wyrm's aura for many years. Beneath an ancient necropolis to a dead god, long forgotten he claimed a whip forged from a thousand tiny bones that brought the icy chill of impending doom at the slightest touch. In the midnight forests of the Feywild he turned predator into prey and hunted the Wyld Hunt itself, winning for a brief time the favor of the Queen of Air and Darkness.

And one day, a message came to him, from the highest of Myrkul's priests. A threat of unparalleled magnitude was drawing near, foreseen by oracles - a god of another realm, one of death and secrets, sought ultimate power by means of bringing death to the multiverse itself. This would not stand unchallenged.

There could be only one god of death, and his will would not be denied.

[TheGlyphstone]

To make a long backstory short, it's a death god grudge match. He's not a nice person, but he is infamous, powerful, and very, very good at dealing with undead.

LOL.

(Falcon watched the wretched Paladin walk away and had a troubling thought.  "I don't think I'll ever see those 500 dragons in this lifetime."  And that thought mortified him.)

I will adjust my character sheet.

[PhantomPistoleer]

Hey, she is taller than your average gnome! Fay touched baby! I imagine that is why some of some of her traits are exaggerate. Sample like her ears being so much long than normal.

So yes she is leggy and a wee bit crazy. Just means she isn't scared of a little danger.

Falcon, hmm, tall, dark, handsome. All those good human traits I hear the ladies gush over. But I know that smirk, I get that smirk just before something fun happens.

Granted, what was more interesting at the time? It was what Falcon brought me to play with. The rusty Bitch needed some TLC. And that was just what I gave it. Repaired it, and not just its motor. But the outplating, the seals, even the paint job!

So Falcon, a tricky, tricky human with the looks and the toys that lure in all the lads and ladies.

-drinks her cup full of booze-

Their relationship can be more intimate.  It doesn't have to be as pedestrian as "this hot gnome fixes my car" and "this hot guy sometimes brings his car to the shop."  LOL.

It can have more dimensions.

[CurvyKitten]

@TheGlyphstone that looks like an interesting character. I see he makes his own friends too. Lol

[thegreatg]

Oh also if someone wants to connect with Tavi, let me know!  I can adjust the timeline easily enough. Hehe

I would be okay with having a connection to Tavi, although truthfully I was looking for a more “intimate” connection with my character but I think Phantom may have beat me to it, so no worries!

BACKGROUND

Ashes was an orphan born and raised in Neverwinter who spent her early years haunting the taverns and watching bards sweet talk patrons into being loose with their coin. A trick she put to her own use gathering enough coin for her meals and to pay the taxes accrued by living in one of the smaller gangs that roamed the street. As she got older her growing out and not up added another method for coin and distractions.

At least till she woke up from a very strange dream with some interesting tricks filling her mind. With strange magic and weapons formed of raw energy she went from small time thug to an actual paid adventurer. After pushing herself further and further with little quests and street brawls she soon joined a caravan as protection and spent several years traveling around Faerun.

Having added a pact with the Queen of darkness and Air to the one she already bore to That Which Was Beyond the Stars she eventually found herself heading back to Neverwinter. Between Fae and Other the goals of her patrons are never clear to her so she's unsure why she's there. But there's always things going on in Neverwinter and she'll have plenty to do as she tries figuring out why she's supposed to be there.


most certainly not the morrow but Ashes is done.

LOL.

(Falcon watched the wretched Paladin walk away and had a troubling thought.  "I don't think I'll ever see those 500 dragons in this lifetime."  And that thought mortified him.)

I will adjust my character sheet.

Hey, not settling your debts is a serious matter. It's almost like thumbing your nose at death to leave a debt unpaid, saying youre not worried about dying before your next chance to clear the ledger. He wont go out looking for work as a debt collector, but he wont leave his personal obligations unfulfilled.

@TheGlyphstone that looks like an interesting character. I see he makes his own friends too. Lol

Hes just looking for someone to settle down with and raise a family.

Hi, is this still looking for players? I've wanted to play in this campaign for a while and thought it'd be fun to pull a DND build together.

@PhantomPistoleer before I get too down in the weeds with my character, have you reached a decision on multiple sub-classes?  Only asking because it looks like some of the submissions are for a single and some for multiple.  Just wanting to know what I can do before building my character.
