Welcome @Lemming23

This thread is for your character creation.
Take a look at the Welcome and Character Creation threads for guidelines and how to get started.

Excellent, and thank you!

I have a class to teach soon, so I won't get chance till tonight to start work on a character, but I'm thinking a grizzled, filthy miner with odd notions of pre-Shattering history. Not sure on ancestry yet, but Dwarf would be a good choice I think, or maybe Human (since I can't be a Goblin). I'd like one of his traits to be magic - specifically illusions to conceal him, and to create scary illusions that might scare off would-be predators. For the other trait, I'm thinking maybe Trapmaster - again to thwart the denizens of the deep levels of mines, and to deal with traps laid for miners. But more later...

goblins are considered a sub-species of the Duende in my world. The Duende are considered more peaceful as the goblins were used/created as scouts and foragers by the military during the Dawn war before the Shattering.

There is a basic "spell touched" trait that allows minor (cantrip) magic but if you wanted to focus more on illusion only I would allow it to have a bit more range/area to it.

I'm unlikely to be able to get chance to post properly until monday now, but that sounds good. I think I'll go with Duende then - perhaps one with considerable goblin heritage in his background, if that's ok? He's still a bit more peaceful than the usual warborn goblin, what with the lack of offensive magic, and more stealth-y type traits, so Duende would be a good fit. Scouting would be a good fit for him too.

No worries about lineage. Just know the goblin have a bit of a stigma. Not a huge impact most of the time but it may come up. As with most races it is a bonus with their own kind and may be a negative with others. You can pick any traits you like.
[ +- ] Spell Touched
[ +- ] Illusionist
This is a rough draft on potential illusion trait but it gives a rough idea on possibilities. It will likely change but I will try and get it locked down by the end of next week.

Right, should be able to get a few hours in now to do this.

I'm fine with a bit of stigma - perhaps he has a wider, sharper-toothed grin that most Duende that's a bit off-putting, and his manner is a little off at times, that sot of thing.

Would I have to take both Spell-Touched and Illusionist? Or just Illusionist - that's what I'm after. Not bothered about offensive spells really. I was thinking Trapmaster for the other trait, if I only need Illusionist.

Also, for the special item thing - I was there was a lantern that runs on oil but never uses up the oil in the list - would it be possible to have this as a head-mounted lamp on a miner's helmet? Not expecting any extra armour for the helmet or anything, more just a visual look.

I was just showing you the official spell touched as an example. Do do ahead and take illusionist and trap master.

Headlamp is fine.

Nice, I'll do the charsheet thing this afternoon then, I think that's everything I was wondering about.
Aug 12, 2024 4:55 pm
OK, I have the character ready, I think - where do I find the "submit a character" bit?
Aug 12, 2024 4:57 pm
Ah, never mind, found it.
Aug 13, 2024 2:50 pm
Anything else I need to do after adding my character?

Quick question - is there a chat thread purely for mine and Moyreau's game, or should we do any OOC stuff to do with our game in the game thread as I did in my first post there?
