Excited!

As mentioned in recruitment Fungril-Druid who is a Flora expert. Going to try to finish the mechanical character creation tonight/tomorrow than start the edits for world building

Jul 10, 2025 5:22 pm

I'm thinking goblin wizard / School of War travel-born? I forget the exact title. Or a sorcerer / primal again travel born.

The idea is someone who's family ran or operated one of the old land trade routes running from city x to ciity y but they got out of the family business.

Jul 10, 2025 7:17 pm

Be a goblin, we can be related. :D

I'm going Goblin Seraph winged thingy, orderborne. Not sure which caste yet though.

Talin Windborne, Faerie (or "Faerie" possibly, foundling changeling sort of creature...) Rogue, probably Slyborne (though it mechanically isn't as obviously useful as some of the others, I think it fits the story best.)

As mentioned in the recruiting thread, Talin is a misfit. Not quite outcast in either Human or Faerie society but not entirely welcome, he's developed the skills to become self reliant. Despite being able to take care of himself, he craves the company (and validation) of others. He's not from the "Big City" but the town he grew up near has long since spilled out of it's walls and the Ruling Caste folks would like it to be a bigger deal (and the nearby Faerie and Elf clans would very much like it to not). Talin is not embraced by the highborn of either side (though the Faerie accept that he is one of them, the wings are a fact difficult to deny) but gets along well with the other misfits and the outcasts.

For experiences, I'm thinking something to represent being part of two worlds while being, at least partly, rejected by both. The other will most likely have to do with seeking a community to call his own. Those sound pretty similar, though, so I might need to think more on it.

If this sounds like it connects with anyone, let me know. I could see him knowing a Fungril Druid and maybe was their bridge to get more citified connections or things.

The ruling caste is living in the orderborn area, and Seraph naturally leans towards the Knights (Shieldsworn) We can make a final split of 3, with something like Vowlings, Bladewardens and Iron Companions or make some up. Nothing is written in stone, and I would love your input.

Quote:

3. The Ruling Caste Bloodlines and magical privilege define power:
31. Knights (Shieldsworn) – Enforcers of noble law and order.
311. Vowlings - Pages, aides, heralds, and errand-runners.
312. Bladewardens - squires, junior knights, and law-enforcers
313. Iron Companions - These are full knights, bound to a ruling noble house but respected even by dukes. The name comes from the Iron Oath, a rite taken under ancestral witness.
32. Barons (Stoneholders) – Regional power-holders and administrators.
33. Dukes (Skydukes) – Airship-owning, reality-shaping masters of society.

There's also a lot of calculations that look like they reference things but don't seem to be doing so correctly (I'm not fluent in the syntax yet). And the Damage section for the weapons looks like it's preset at the Action Roll, rather than the damage and I can't put it in.

Jul 10, 2025 7:41 pm

As for Talin's Caste, I think from the human perspective he's:
Lowlies (Dustborn) – Latrine-cleaners, tanners, chimney sweeps. The invisible class.

Maybe slightly higher when viewed by the Faerie or Elves.

Jul 10, 2025 8:49 pm

Okay, I have a quick but incomplete version of my character - Pixelmist Copperdust (Might change the name) Goblin Wizard - School of War / Wanderborne. I have no gear at the moment and no class cards but I'm working on that currently.

Jul 10, 2025 9:05 pm

So my base abilities come out of the Domains Codex and Splendor so I'd like to discuss with others with those domains what they're taking so we don't overlap to much. So Seraph or Bard are the ones I share those Domains with.

Jul 10, 2025 10:16 pm

I'm seraph, but haven't decided which cards to take yet either (or had much time to look over the rest of my character), so go for what you'd prefer, and I'll choose based on that. :)

My other one s Valour, I think, in case anyone has chosen that one - so again, go ahead and choose what you'd prefer, and I'll work around it. Some overlap isn't going to kill role protection.

Jul 10, 2025 11:50 pm

Rogue's domains are Midnight and Grace. Grace is shared with Bard and Midnight with Sorcerer. As currently statted, I've got two from Midnight and none from Grace.

Jul 11, 2025 12:41 am

Lemming, here’s what we share.

I was looking at Mending Touch, just as a utility kind of thing but I’m more interested in Bolt Beacon. If you wish both I have other options not that two Mending Touches wouldn’t be awful.

My Codex options are equally solid.

Book of Ava and Book of Tyfar both look good here.

Jul 11, 2025 1:18 am

We just get two cards from our domains too start with, yes, and can choose both from one domain, or one form each? If so, I can always choose two valour ones (the armour one and forceful push, maybe) so you can have the splendour ones if they're the ones you want. :)

I think of those, he'd be bladewarden, but following up from the noodling I did in the recruitment post, his community was wiped out, and that's where he had respect due to his caste, so I'm happy to go with orderborne but now has a lower caste to reflect his unhappy past and lesser status elsewhere.

Jul 11, 2025 2:39 am

You can take 2 from 1 or 1 from each. Make the character you want to make, I was thinking the Heal would be useful for the party but don’t let me influence your decision.
