P is for Plague, Living Cancer

O is for Orabelle Peña, Companion of Orson
Name: Orabelle Peña Campaign: The Eight Arms and the Memento Mori There’s a joke among early 3E players about especially stupid paladins. Intelligence was a common paladin dump stat in a class that really wanted three good ability scores, and … Continue reading

Name: Lao, Laotzu, Lao!ze Campaign: The Great Tower of Oldechi I’m going to cheat a little more here, and for the same reason. Lao, Laotzu, and Lao!ze were different characters, united in that they were run by the same player … Continue reading

K is for Kojen, Link but Different

Name: Icranouf Loroden Campaign: The Eight Arms and the Deed of Taiyun Gao Once of the reasons I have Sessions Zero for all my campaigns is to make sure the players are all on the same page regarding character design. … Continue reading
H for Hadarai, Frosty Frost Mage What Frosts Things

G is for Gloves Shieldbearer, Heavy Everything Specialist
