Quick Links:  Current Characters  |  Deceased Characters  |  Character Generation Guidelines

Information on the player characters in The Banewarrens is posted here, including short biographies, character sheets, and character pictures.  All of the characters are recruited for extensive work with The Order of Thorenheld’s Acumen, a semi-secret sect within the Reliquis church that keeps a very low profile.  The order was created in part to utilize the talents of various "heretics" for the good of the church, including arcane casters or those races which typically reject the teachings of the church.  Characters may be religious members of the order (of any non-arcane casting class) or even members of The Sages, a wizard's guild that operates quietly on behalf of the Duke of Falconmoor and contributes members to the order to foster better relations with the church (and undoubtedly to keep an eye on the church's activities). 

Current Characters:

Human Male; Paladin-1,Cleric-4, and Hospitalier-2

The eldest son of a noble family of Pellegros, Brendan has defied tradition and his father by choosing the life of a priest in the Reliquis Church. A recent member of the Hospitalers, he also holds a terrible hatred for the creatures of the Gray One, a passion that has frequently distracted him from his duties as a healer. Recently assigned to Greytower, he is eager to serve the Seven in whatever capacity they wish for him in this new land.

Cupric Emerald Eyes
Elf Male; Bard-7

Cupric is at heart a seeker of knowledge. He hungers to learn new things in an effort to discover a way back to his home. With constant flashes of memory from the distant past, Cupric often comes across as a little distracted.

An easy smile and a ready offer of help await those who call him friend, while foes are treated to a disconcerting grin.

Physical Description:  Cupric is a male Grey-Elf of light build and with ivory pale skin. He stands 5’4” and weighs 128lbs. By far his most distinctive features are his hair and his eyes. His hair has all the luster and shine of highly polished copper. One of his first traveling companions, a dwarven gem cutter, would have sworn an oath that his eyes were actual emeralds. Though able to blend into a crowd when needed, Cupric tends to stand out from any crowd he might be in, a trait he has found useful as a wandering minstrel. Cupric generally wears a tasteful entertainer’s outfit. Cupric tends to be seen with his pack constantly on his back, a hat concealing his hair, and his lute hung by his side.

Journeyman Sage Brass
Human Male, Sorcerer-7 (Monte Cook Version)

Formerly a prisoner of the Duke, Brass “escaped” about a year ago with the aid of the Sages (who had learned of his spellcasting prowess) and was “asked” to join their ranks. Brass’s chaotic nature, arcane talent and love of pyrotechnics get him in trouble on occasion, but he is capable of toning things down when the need arises.

Allele'a Garfavin
Elf Female; Rogue-7

Allele’ a spent an idyllic childhood in a typically reclusive grey elf society. She was raised by her community to love nature, beauty, and justice. She enjoyed this “it takes a village to raise an elf” childhood and adolescence until her 100th year, when a brutal conflict with nearby dwarves left nearly all of the adults of her settlement dead, and left Allele’a as a slave. Allele’a was tortured and mutilated by her captors, then set to the grueling work of digging to expand their natural cave system. Although only of average hardiness, Allele’a managed to outlive her life expectancy of weeks by utilizing her natural quickness of mind and foot to navigate the brutal politics of slavery and the treacherous work of mining. After 9 months, plus or minus a few scratches on the wall, Allele’a killed her overseer with a well placed pickaxe, managed to navigate the series of physical pitfalls and traps the drow colony used to physically restrain their slaves and escaped to the outside world. Physically and spiritually scarred by her brutal treatment at the hands of her captors, Allele’a found herself unable to assimilate into other elven societies. The casual assumption of long life and “time enough for that later” attitude of other elves clashed with the feelings of urgency Allele’a’s chaotic life engendered in her. In addition, despite the politeness and cool kindness of other elves, Allele’a felt that her shattered face and body would never be accepted in communities where beauty is held as a measurement for worth in all pursuits. Allele’a is haunted by nightmares of her time with the drow and occasionally becomes panicked when a situation makes her feel trapped or manipulated. In order to regain her confidence in her abilities to maintain her freedom, Allele’a has studied to become an expert in detecting traps and secret ways of escape. She has transformed her fears and anxiety into a passion for exploring hidden places and plundering their secrets. Allele’a inherited a great pragmatism from her captivity. The right or wrong of a situation rarely worries her as much as the balance of personal risk or benefit involved. Her main prerogatives are freedom and accomplishment. To that end, she supports herself by selling her skills as an underground pathfinder to the highest available bidder. She is a nomad, with only occasional friends, and no permanent home. Secretly, she holds the hope that she may someday undergo a spiritual epiphany that will allow her to reenter elven society, but her hard won cynicism prevents her from taking that idea too seriously.

Character Generation Guidelines:

  • All characters must be of generally good or neutral alignments and must have a history and personality that will allow if not encourage them to work with a team and for either the Reliquis Church or the Sages.  Further information on both organizations are available on the Falconmoor website; in addition, the DM will work with you in character generation. 
  • Use the 32-point buy method as per the DMG pg. 19 for stats. Remember to add your +1 for your character’s 4th level stat increase on top of the point buy.
  • Hit points will be rolled in the presence of the DM on the day of the adventure. Any “1” results for Hit Points are re-rolled until a “2” or higher is rolled. Optionally you may choose before you roll to use the Fixed Hit Points per Hit Die method as per DMG pg. 43 up to 6th level (all Hit Points are rolled from 6th level on).
  • New characters start at 6th level with 18,000 experience points. You may use some of your experience points in item creation if applicable for your character.
  • New characters may start with total assets equaling 15,000gp. This includes all items, such as mundane gear, magical gear, created items, and additional spells in spellbooks (as per the PHB). No single item may be worth more than 8,000gp and no item may require a caster level to create higher than 12th.
  • Customized magical items are not permitted except for changes in form for Wondrous Items (a Belt of Speed instead of Boots of Speed for instance).
  • You may use any “generic” Wizards of the Coast book and any non-world specific rule from Wizards of the Coast including but not limited to Dragon Magazine, the Psionics Handbook, and class guidebooks. World specific rules (Oriental Adventures, Wheel of Time, etc.) are not permitted.
  • You may use any Forgotten Realms spells or magical items, plus feats (with approval).
  • You may use any material from The Book of Eldritch Might I and The Book of Eldritch Might II. This includes class variants.
  • All FAQ and errata information for the respective rule sources are used.
  • You will need to provide (in electronic format by email) a short character biography, physical description, and picture for your character.  If you use a picture from a website, let me know where so we can properly link to it.  Note that all character information including character sheets will appear on the website.
  • You will need to provide the DM a copy of your character sheet and brief character history before you can play!

In addition, the following optional rules are also used:

  • Versatile [General Feat]:  You are skilled in a variety of areas normally outside your profession's area of expertise.  Benefit: Select two cross-class skills.  These skills are always considered in class skills for you.  Special: This feat may be selected multiple times. Each time, it applies to different skills.

New characters, whether from new players, replacements for deceased characters, or alternative characters begin with experience points equal to the total his or her existing character would start with if Raised. Characters start with coins and assets based on their starting level as detailed on page 43 of the DMG and under the guidelines listed above.
