Character Creation

Well, you did make the campaign's theme Weird Magic! :D

Lol technically I just gave you the option, you all voted for it! But that works out really well thematically haha.

Starting Wealth

So I could swap out the basic weapon from lifestyle with a leather armor of some kind? Through my rolls I ended up with 2 swift weapons, so don't really need a third.

Oh, right! Extra silver!

Yep, sounds good.

Hargrac"May the Honored Dead forgive me for throwing in with this dirty, stinkin’ lot!"

To Hargrac, the goblins were a means to an end! There was no quicker way to meet your doom than by spending time in the company of goblins. The greenskins had no chance of putting an end to the dwarf themselves, no, no!

Rather, Hargrac divined that goblins were the punching bag of all manner of creatures! Stick around long enough, and something worth fighting would show up to give the goblins a good thrashing! And when it did, Hargrac would be there to fell or be felled!

"By the looks of this lot, I’ll be dead within the week!" he grumbles, before breaking into a low, ugly laugh!

As you've surmised from the other responses, a Soul Swap incantation that was warped by the weird magic of the coming shadow allowed for a mortal and goblin to swap bodies! Also conceal object will be fun to find a use for.

Character is coming along nicely. Used the Snot and Stitches background tables since it was who they were before.

Nice. I have a 4 day weekend so hopefully we can get started Thursday or Friday.

I am going on holiday on Saturday so will be busy this weekend traveling and getting the lay of the land, but should be back to posting on Monday. I am bringing my laptop and will have internet.

Just as an early heads-up, I will be on an extended vacation from June 17th through June 28th. I will not be able to post during that time, but feel free to bot my character to keep things moving. I don't want to hold things up!

I'm back from my cousin's wedding. Got to spend a lot of time catching up with family I hadn't seen in 20 years! Lots of fun!

Great to hear! 20 years is a long time!

Anyone want to work out some connections? Are we starting as a unit, or will something bring us together at the start?

My intended idea for Hargrac is that he would think the group to be pushovers, in classic dwarf arrogance fashion, and then hopefully develop a grudging respect for everyone!

It would be great if you had a previous connection with our human in the group - from before the change. But also, you haven't seen him in a few years.

Yeah, I thought the human and the ferren might be a good in, too! I wonder if the ferren keeps its cat form a secret or if we all know about it!

Hargrac might see them as a pair of humans!

One human that acts like a cat. One human that acts like a goblin.

Hargrac: "Humans are weird."

I think its best if everyone met during the level 0 adventure we skipped. We can just narratively describe what happened. My suggestion is you were all at the Moon Temple when the priestesses disappeared. You were asked or volunteered to travel to Set the City of Gods to see what happened, and then on to the largest temple in Lij if the solution wasn't found in Set. The trek from Low Country to Kem could provide bonding moments.

Maybe I already have a grudging respect for them then! But Doom is just around the corner!!

Theo is mostly open about his Ferren status once he can trust someone. So if we've gone through a level 0 adventure together you'd probably know. He's a former hunter and more recently pickpocket as far as professions go. He had to abandon his work as a hunter and make his living in other ways once he came to the big city.
