Hello everyone I’m about to join a new campaign and the dm sent me a rough draft of what the campaign story will be. I need help coming up with ideas for a character because I am having EXTREME creative block…I’m in 3 other games so I’d like to avoid Druid, Bard, and Monk if possible however if you have a great idea I’d love to hear it. All ideas are welcome
Here’s the summary
“The Fault Runners
No one knew exactly what caused The Fault. There have been many theories over the millenia. Some say it was caused by an angry god. Some say the dealings in the magic and fae caused the planet too much stress. Whatever the case the giant scar on the planet became a focus of all who wanted wealth and glory. What the inhabitants of Miercani did not realize is they were playing with a fire they would not be able to put out.
The first rift went unnoticed for a while. A few missing explorers chalked up to the dangers of the shear cliffs and the unwieldy terrain. But as more and more souls went missing, exploration uncovered what would come to be known as the Dread Gates. None knew why these came into being, but the demons and fiends that traveled through them left none to question the evil these harbored. Every 9 years a different hell would open gates through the world in the fault and these forces would make landfall in the mortal plane. Cities built on the edge of the fault became fortresses to hold back the armies of hell wrought upon the planet.
While the temptation of magic and wealth lie in the darkest reaches of the fault, each trip held dangers of what the gates had left behind when last they were opened. The brave souls, or indentured few, that were commanded to travel through the fault to retrieve whatever they could get their hands on left many families unattended and with more questions than answers in the aftermath of exploration. Those that returned were not necessarily who they left as. Some came back to families that claim they were not who they pretended to be. Some could not return to their families after what they had seen. Most budding adventurers just didn’t return at all.
The year is 3451 F.A. (Fault Appearance), almost 1 year until the next opening. No one could tell what new hell this opening would bring. And none wanted to.“
