So I'm working on this campaign right now. The setting is kinda badlands Barons controlling most of the territory with a strong central capital city. This is only a small part of the larger campaign I guess, but I'm struggling with making this faction make some sense.
Neldalla is the deity I'm having this faction worship. Theyre basically barbaric viking like raiders.
So I've been using a lot of druid avengers, but giving them sun domain for undead turning. Now I want to come up with a way, of making them blighters, while still having lots of undead at their disposal. Does anyone know if blighters would be able to retain their sun domain? Think I should just yolo and homebrew it? Or does anyone have any other good ideas for giving them a way to keep undead? I was thinking about doing quite a bit of magical item homebrewing to be honest, maybe someway of carving magical evil runes to control undead or something. Was thinking lots of skeleton stuff, blighters burning the flesh off of everything and raising what survived through the ashes kinda thing.
The reason why I picked a faction like this is because the world is based off my buddys last campaign which pretty much went to 20, with Nerull pulling strings in the background and no one really winning. Mainly cause we were going to continue the story into the next campaign which I'm kinda doing now, accept we are starting on a different continent in the same universe. Think WoW expansions. Anyways I wanted to tie in Vecna or some other spiteful evil Deity of Nerull into the plot somehow. I guess I could say Neldalla wants to stir up **** just because Nerull has been hanging out on the other side.
Honestly I was thinking about leading this campaign into dragon stuff, cause my buddy already set the precedence for Red Dragons manipulated by Nerul. So I was going to lead them into dealing with silverbrow humans led by a Counsel of Ancient Silver Dragons to pin them against the red dragons in the end and stop the coming of Nerul sort of thing, probably in the end by forging some holy super weapons of some sort with some ancient hybrid elven dwarven magical forge.
So Basically any ideas and advice on home brewing and semi balancing magical/wondrous items would be greatly appreciated.
