King of the Deep - Character Creation

Stats and Backstory

King of the Deep will be a Level 3-7 campaign, using milestone progression. Stats can be either Standard Array or Point Buy. We'll be trying hidden character sheets, so you only need to tell your fellow players what you'd like, as well as what they would be able to tell simply by looking at you.

When creating a backstory, the options are wide open with 2 caveats that you need to include:

  • At some point you were accepted into the The Three Crows Adventurer's Guild by your handler Russik Hornbelt.
  • Please ensure your character has arrived back in the city of Dal-Tondal within the last few days.
  • In regards to your fellow players, since you're all part of the same guild and under the same handler you've undoubtesly heard of each other, if not worked together before in the past, so feel free to explore that option if you wish.

     
    The Three Crows

    As you can tell by the article for your guild, there isn't a whole lot written for it yet, so if you've got any cool ideas for the guild let me know! There is always some truth to the stories that you've heard...usually.

     
    Session 0

    We'll do a shorter Session 0 before starting that will include a brief intro to the world, as well as a short combat so that you guys can test out your characters and get a feel for some of my own homebrew rules. This combat will also be a good test to see if you'd like to change up anything with your character before the first session

     
    Sandbox Style Play

    Illicid is intended to be played as an open world, so follow whatever adventure hooks you guys want to. Whether you want to follow the story, raid tombs, start your own custom tea cup shop, or assassinate the king, it's your choice. The only limits will be that you'll need to stay on the continent of Haer-Boitha.

    Important Notes
  • Firearms haven't been created in Illicid yet
  • Space travel is still but a dream
  • Planar travel is a theory, and only in some circles, so fey and shadow races have slightly different origins
  • Maps
  • Illicid World Map
  • Haer-Boitha
  • Dal-Tondal
