And sorry found that and posted the pic b4 I refreshed

Ok Sheeet submitted feel free to modify

Okay, so I think I've settled into the scholar job for mechanical purposes. I've sorted out my plusses to skills as well. Arcana and Magic are my trained skills. Maybe I was some sort of magical advisor before leaving / being exiled from the clan and finding the sky's light.

@Eyes Quick look at the sheet and it looks ok. To keep somewhat within the lore, I’d suggest you could be from a dwarves clan in the crags as some primordial made the volcano erupt and destroyed a lot of things around. That would have made life more difficult than it was before. I thing the secrets and background are similar to some of the suggested ones so I’ll probably tailor them a bit

@RAAMtentacles yeah I was thinking the scholar things mostly as reading about the sky and such doesn’t have to be a true wizard. Your suggestion is good, I wasn’t considering having players as natives of Icewind Dale but that can work well. Let me have a look at all the adventures and their suggestions. In terms of deities, besides nature ones like Silvanus and the moon goddess Selune, there’s the lesser known Sune, goddess beauty and love. Of course most people would be polytheist, so it could be a mixture of all of them, but maybe you were inspired by her teachings and now search for the world’s beauty such as the northern lights?

If you guys are open to party conflict, I can use the Dnd faction as player secrets. You will secretly hate each other and probably wish the others would die, but times are though and everyone just wants to survive, so there’s that shared goal worth putting differences aside and work together.

How about Sehanine Moonbow? Wild to be a elven goddess but we could go for a whole Gimli-Galadriel vibe.

Yeah sure 😁 I didn’t check the elven pantheon so I missed that one 😅

I think Sehanine Moonbow may actually be the same entity as Selune. I just like the RP of an Elven Goddess getting to him.

Alright, I've come up with a concept for an orc. She's a witch-doctor or shaman with the appropriate skills. With that in mind, would you allow her to start off as a native of the Dale? She could have joined the party not long after they reach the area, rather than having traveled from Luskan.

What a fun idea!

So it looks like meseszovo is not accepting the invitation to the game, which leave us with 3 PCs. I’ll suggest 3 secrets from the adventure for each so you are even more connected to Icewind Dale. There’s plenty of them!

Just to clarify. I’ll be running the Legacy of the Crystal Shard, A Plague of the Ancients and The Time of the Frosmaiden sparkled with a few extras here and there. If you spot something that is not making sense let me know as I probably messed up mixing these adventure 😆

Hmm, I'm not familiar with any of those, so it should be fun exploring what they have to offer.

I took the liberty of adjusting the character sheet to my liking, but otherwise my character should be good to go! Let me know if you catch anything wonky, @CESN!

Oh that looks nicer! Is it a [table] you used?

I think we’re almost ready. Just need to double check the character sheets and finalise some details 😁
