I've only just now realized that we have two Lilys in our group.

This can only end hilariously.

@AfinaAccepted, and welcome.

@knighthawkWell, you'd probably manage to usurp Lily the Scarecrow's place as "Party member most likely to be burned at the stake by angry villagers."

Fair enough, the idea of a fearless halfling in the land of dread would be like pinkie pie in the haunted forest.

I'm can easily do a heavy fighter or an arcane caster, we have clerics druids and paladins already.

Only some slight revisions to mundane equipment, otherwise full CS.
Name: Snoh Bhaal
Age: 25
Sex: Yes please Male
Race: Tiefling
Class: Hexblade 5/ Thayan knight 2
Alignment: Lawful neutral
Appearance:

6'2" 140, He still keeps his hair long, as a Thayan slave should.
Equipment:



Skills and Abilities:
Resistance Cold 5, Resistance Electricity 5,Resistance Fire 5,(racial)
Darkvision 60 feet(racial)

Intimidation
Knowlege arcana
Knowlege local
swim/climg/jump

Weapon focus (longsword)
Iron will
Monkey grip
Faster healing

Spells:
Darkness 1/day(racial)
Sleep 1/day (Class)
Charm person 1/day (Class)

Personality:
Aggressively submissive. He has been raised that his value is equal to those he works for. He has his own thoughts and ideas, but most often those lean on how to please others. When not given to submission, he is calm quiet and conniving.

Backstory: Something short and sweet, preferably.
Born a Thayan slave in Benzantur, his fiendish heritage was obvious from birth and taken as a good sign of selective breeding between two other hexblades who had strong bloodlines. He was sold for a magnificent price and kept for many years by a drow priestess of Kiltzi until he would come of age to go to Hexcidon, the college of hexblades. During his time as a holy floor scrubber and priestess gofer, he was constantly taught his place at the bottom of the food chain and what a tasty morsel he would be one day. She also taught him how to please others, not merely carnally but how to draw the bath and present the food in pleasing ways.

When he joined the college, they reinforced the lowliness of his place in society as a tiefling, as a hexblade, and as a slave. The best he could ever hope for is to die for his masters. But Snoh saw another way. He mastered the art of pleasing others his mistress had taught him, telling his superiors what they wanted to hear or saying their ideas back in a new voice. This made him in many ways the class omega, but it also kept him far from the fights of dominance the others participated in. He could watch and listen to learn the ways alphas acted so he could imitate them later if needed.

He managed to slither through his classes to graduation with the sudden shift in focus of his combat training in the longsword and tower shield even though he was better with a greatsword. His classes had also taken a sidestep to include resisting mental intrusions as they were grooming to make him a Thayan knight for a good friend of his priestess. He was sold to a very practical and bookish transmuter who had to leave Thay with a bodyguard. They left for Luskon with official graduation but no ceremony from either the college or the priestess.

Once hey were far from the city, they began to fall in 'like' with each other over the many miles and he did all he could to keep her well rested for spell casting. She gave him a magical longsword, her graduation project, to help protect her and a gift from the guidance of Kiltzi in the form of blessed armor.

Sadly it wouldn't be enough as they were set upon by thugs, he told her to get away as far and fast as possible while he held them off. She cast a transportation spell of some kind and a thick fog rolled in. He managed to finish off the thugs with some minor wounds when he found a stone enchanted with the message spell, activating it took some work but he got the damn thing to repeat the orders to kill the Zulkir of Necromancy, their apprentice and her bodyguard.

But the fog lifts, and he is nowhere near where he once was.

Not to speak on behalf of the GM, but i'm sure it never hurts to throw a character in anyway.

@knighthawk, I have a couple problems with your character - like he was sold as a slave to the church of a Chaotic Good deity, which is a contradiction of terms, Chaotic Good being the alignment most inimically opposed to the act of slavery. Also, a -Drow- Priestess of a Maztican Deity? The way he's treated by them it seems like you were thinking a Priestess of Lolth.

More importantly, though, your character, being a Tiefling with rather pronounced features - he frankly looks like Mephistopheles - is going to derail every encounter with the native denizens of Ravenloft into a mob with torches and pitchforks.

I also...that name. I'm sorry, I know that's petty, but -Snoh Bhaal-? I mean, just for starters - Bhaal is the God of Murder in the Forgotten Realms. For another, it's kind of a tortured pun, in a setting that is trying to go for horror, kind of a mood killer.

@IcePezzNot locked up yet, but we're starting to stretch a little on characters.

All excellent points.

Yes the contradictions do seem uncomplimentary, they are actually meant to soften him from a LE/CE murderous bastard to a LN.
The drow priestess uses her reputation of her race to move through evil areas with a preceding awareness and misinformation. "I am a drow priestess...Move." But doesn't bother to say of who. She could purchase him to 'free' him in all but name so as to not rock the boat. I can easily change drow to anything else if you like.

I can choose an image with softer tiefling features if you like or else rearrange magic items for a hat of disguise.

Yes, snoh bhaal is a pun, but yes also some tieflings are influenced by the efforts of dark gods such as Bhaal. But all easily adjustable.

@Corsair I will try to hurry up with my cs then, before you definitively close up :p

I've was locked away in forgotten realms lore for what seems like an eternity, dabbled in ravenloft for a bit. Currently have my own rp going and just need something to ...get away from the madness of gm'ing? But if I'm able to get you something, and you accept it, you won't be disappointed :)

Edit- I've been sick the past few days, and at the moment I can't seem to get over it. So I'm going to have to pass on this one. You're all such amazing writers, I hope you don't mind if I read along :)

Have fun :)

Gonna have to say no, the rest of the party is hovering around level 10. We're at the low end of the phase where we can take on a Dragon as a party, having a character who can turn into a monster more powerful than the rest of the party put together is a bit much.

Ten levels or so? Hmm... I was thinking a fair bit lower being Ravenloft and was placing myself around third level.

I'm playing it by ear, but I intend on our guys to have been around the block a few times. We're no match in a fight for Strahd or Soth, but we're definitely not nobodies.
