My buddy Philip is putting together a 5E campaign and, for the first time ever, I wanted to run a full magic-user, so I picked Sorcerer. Unfortunately, the only options for Sorcerer in the main book are Draconic Blood and Wild Magic. Draconic Blood is neat and all, but wasn't really what I was going for-- same issue with Wild Magic. One of these days, I'll go with Wild Magic, maybe something like Perf from JourneyQuest. For now, though, I went with the Shadow background ( media.wizards.com/2015/downloa… ).Talked a bit with my DM, and we decided to go with another JourneyQuest kind of theme, so after some discussion, she's going to be undead like Carrow--except she's not a Cleric. She and her master worked a lot with necromancy, and when her town was attacked by goblins, she turned out to fight along with her firbolg friend, who she nicknamed Sage (probably gonna draw Sage next). The goblins captured several people, including her and Sage, and, unknown to them, mortally wounded Isobel.That's where the campaign is gonna start; the party is going to be in captivity. Sage will be mourning over the corpse of his lifeless friend, when suddenly, out of nowhere, she'll sit up--probably screaming.It reeks of special snowflake syndrome, but hopefully it'll be fun along the way. If not... I dunno, we'll figure something out.
