Hello and firstly, thank you for any help & clarification in advance.
I'm new to PW though a keen and eager RP'er from pen&paper days far back. I didn't want to start a submission thread just yet as still finalising the details of my concept.
I have 2 Character concepts I'm keen to play but wondering how much I need to put down in the original submission as it all seems to be IC info. Both these concepts are how I imagine them developing through CDQ's & good, long RP so not wanting any quick fixes but I'd like to have it stated up front how I hope to develop them rather than discover my dreams must be crused through some rule technicality or some-such problem.
1) Sun Elf Redeemer.. Fanatical Inquisitor -
Bard (1)/Cleric(x) --> RDD heritage --> Epitome of his success and redemption would be just a few Paladin levels at the very end of his adventures perhaps.
A hedonistic, fun-loving bard (TN-ish) who through sins & gambling debts gets caught in a fire and destroys his family & reputation. Scarred and very much changed, heseeks penance & to redeem all by submitting to Rofirein, the "Lord Protector" and venturing out into the world to honour, protect and make up for his crimes as well as yearnings to discover himself, who is truly is and where he fits in the world.
His minor, political&merchant house has ancient connections to long-lost prophecies and a dragon bloodline if he can ever uncover this heritage he might yet succeed as a champion of the "Gold's eye" and true knight of his lord.
Moving from a TN, selfish & carefree boy into a lawful fanatic seeking only to carry out the bidding of his god and uphold laws of the land.
2) Deep Gnome Infiltrator.. devout ambassador/spy amongst the outsiders -
Cleric(12+)/Monk(12+) -->Assassin or SD.. or even both if he can rise through the ranks of his cult i.e. (5)/SD(1)
A small, selective order or cult amongst the Deep gnomes who are seeking to gather information and infiltrate the outside world in preparation for some disaster or cataclysm which may arise to throw them out from their rocky sanctuary. This cult worhsips Kithairien, "The Runner" from the Wild Elves.
Taken and brought up from birth within this Order and trained and prepared to travel and mix amongst the outsiders and watch, listen and gather the vital information they need if they'll ever grow & develop as a race outside their tunnels.
Fierce, cunning and clever enough to use whatever he can to succeed in his missions and ventures out as a pure Monk/Cleric until much later in his history.. undercover as a travelling merchant & diplomat while watching.
* Apologies if I've made any basic errors or faults or missed some simple information from the site. Been browsing the great lore repository and forums here but so much info. so I may of missed something. Treat me kindly?
These may, at first glance appear as "Power-Builds" but I'm just trying to get a fun & interesting novel character that I can play for many, many years to come. I'd be happy to do many CDQ's etc and for all this to take years & decades perhaps to fulful these conceptual dreams but I just like having the potential there from the start and knowing where they want to go. Ofc, the characters may be completely changed by In-game events or situations and end up very different but these did seem fun & appealing.
* Are they possible and valid character concepts?
* If I'm starting as a Bard and then want to level to Cleric next (or start as Cleric and level to Monk next lvl) how does this work? Do I need to do a CDQ or some RP Event in-game or do I start as a 1/1 character or..?
For example - Bard-Cleric means I want to find a way I can show my repentence and wish to follow Rofirein as a Cleric would I need to find an Order willing to accept me or is their a convenient one that would allow me in as a young, acolyte or student. I imagine Lvl 1 to 2 isn't so very hard to achieve so just wondering how it would work and if I'd be waiting on the RP or CDQ process to level rather than just having it relatively straightforward.
* Do the extra PrC etc. additions later seem plausible & make sense?
Thank you. Hope this makes sense - getting late here.
