Hence the number one rule: cool stuff should be done in the game, not your backstory.
Or just start the campaign at a higher level.
The one solution is to end the back story bad ‘so anyway, he’s learning how to walk again after… That.’ or ‘crawled into a bottle afterwards, and you’ll have a hell of a time fishing her out. In the meantime, she can still manage a cantrip from time to time. Most days.’ Especially if you’re going for a ‘last job’ or ‘old gunslinger’ vibe.
Works really well if your early build is super specialized, and, like ‘they still remember how to do that part just on reflex’
Ohhh, that’s a good one. I’m stealing that!
I thought it was im the rule book that players should do so. If i have an epic backstory im playing and ancient old fart that has not battled in centuries and is not used to it anymore
And this is why my next character is gonna be Steve the fisherman. Been spear fishing his whole life. That’s it. That’s his backstory. He carries a spear.
And that’s the campaign where you start at level 12, lol
Nice day for fishin‘, ain‘t it?
Huh hah
Trait: overworked back When you stand for long periods or don’t think before folding to pick up stuff or sleep, you are disadvantaged for 10 minutes
I feel your wife may have just been assassinated in the chaos Thievius, I don’t think that dragon would’ve used a sword
Your anger was misplaced, it was truly the goblin that took both your wife and you.
Seems like panel 3 couldve been their character arc for the campaign
