Admittedly I am just getting back into the game, mostly through playing NWN2 of late and it getting my gears going. I was curious, as I sit here staring at a pile of 3.5 stuff and wonder... what character are YOU playing right now, whether new or existing or both? I need ideas and it always helps to see others genius. :)

Well I am playing in 2 games right now, neither of them are FR (can't get anyone to RUN an FR game  ) My first one is a Human cleric 2/wizard 1 of WeeJas. His goal is to become a True Necromancer so he can live a really long time like the people he grew up with can. It's a homebrew world and he was raised by a family of Elves. My other character is a Dwarf cleric of Moradin level 14. He was created because this game was just to run through the tomb of horrors and no one else wanted to play the healer.  |

My current favorite character is my Waterdhavian nobleman fighter and the scion of Tespergates, Lord Barun Tesper (N hm F16). He started out as a highly idealistic and rigid warrior, who firmly believed in the privilege and superior authority of nobility in a lawful society. Yet he also understood that the privilege of rank brings duties towards the poor and the weak, and strove to protect and assist his "inferiors" whenever possible.
However, years of danger, intrigue and deaths of many friends and allies have driven him into near-paranoia, and have made him a bitter and more pragmatic character.
There is more additional info on the campaign and Lord Barun under the thread 'Your party': http://forum.candlekeep.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=7883&whichpage=2 |

| My Cormyran character is Darvin Helderson, a human noble from a minor military noble family. He's a Noble 1/Cleric of Lathander 6/Fighter 1/Purple Dragon Knight 1/Battle Priest of Cormyr 5. He isn't very optimized, but he's fun to play. |

BTW, I'm going to take a level of Marshal then finish him out (to level 20 if he lives that long) as a Morninglord of Lathander. |

Playing a rogue-fighter (5/2) apprentice blacksmith Thuran Silverforge who hails from the Swordcoast streets. He learned his bluffing ways mainly on the streets of Baldurs Gate. His keen reflexes and awareness were trained in waterdeep as a shadowy guard for a priestess of Tymorra. He tries to become the quickest swordsman of fearun.
Gotta love his damage output after a feint striking with a flaming tongue greatsword. And Tymorra really smiles on his rolls during combat, nearly all BBEG's got critted to death OO

Yeah that is my long term plan for him to become a lich. But didn't want to get that far ahead as I have no idea how long this game is going to go. So it is in my mind just not at the forefront right now. But thanks for the suggestion.  |

Currently I have two characters. Apex an old mulan Enchanter 5/Red wizard of Thay 1 who worships Shar. Betrayed by his mentor to the Zhents, he spent most of his life as a trade wizard slave, scribing scrolls for his Zhent master to sell. Freed from his enslavement geas, when his master was killed during a Cult of the Dragon ambush on their caravan. Robbed of his youth, Apex seeks to quickly earn a better place for himself in the afterlife, before he dies of old age, by questing for Shar.
Vista is a middle-aged mulan cleric of Velsharoon 6, who lived with his powerful cleric mother in Wizard's Reach until recently when she followed a vision from Velsharoon to move to the Boneyard to spawn an undead army. Denied his comfortable and lazy lifestyle, Vista originally sought to be reunited with his mother but instead found a Cult of the Dragon chapter which he joined. When his fellow Cult of the Dragon members were slain in a bungled raid on a Zhent caravan, Vista was fortunate enough to escape alive and even managed to find an ally in Apex the escaped wizard slave. Vista has grown up quickly since he has been forced out on his own and has started to develop a hither-to dormant ambitious streak. He takes great joy in crafting undead and his masterpiece so far has been a zombie roper. He still seeks to reunite with his mother but even more pressing he seeks to rejoin with the Cult of the Dragon, where he can learn the secrets of crafting draco-liches and become a Wearer of Purple.
From lowly beginnings, of hunting down a marauding bear and guarding a caravan in Impiltur, the pair have recently conquered the Forge of Fury and turned it into their base. Despite having lost all but one of their original hired mercenaries, the two have become leaders in their own right. Vista has animated some skeletons and zombies and even managed to put in place an orc cohort as the leader of the remnants of an orc tribe. With a 5000 gp bribe, Vista has made an alliance with a black dragon and turned the majority of the Forge of Fury into a shrine to Velsharoon and hopefully a future Cult of the Dragon site.
Apex has entered Thayian politics and earned his red robes by bribing a Red Wizard sponsor from the Impiltur enclave with a Ring of Wizardry. For unknown reasons the enclave has recently opened a portal between Impiltur and the Shaar. Ostensibly this is to open up a new enclave in the Shaar but Apex doubts this is the real reasoning. Apex, along with his ally Vista, have agreed to lead an expedition through the portal to pacify the area.
Through the portal they go, unaware of the Red Hand of Doom that awaits them... |

I DM, but usually we have so few players that we always have at least a couple of NPC's as part of the party, one of which is always a "DMPC".
My foremost DMPC is Tyros of Calaunt, whose story can be found via a forum search. In a nutshell, he was born as a street urchin in Calaunt, stowed away of a ship to end up in Zhentil Keep, where he was discovered, enslaved, and bought by Lord Orgauth. He served for a time as a Zhentilar, but was presumed dead when his outpost was wiped out by Purple Dragons. He is currently the last survivor of his band, and alone in a dungeon in the middle of the Anauroch.
He is a thief/fighter. And while he has a knack for survival, his current situation is... precarious and as yet unresolved.
My current DMPC is a lad from the village/keep of Huthduth, Thairamor by name, who is just returning home after two years at Eagles Peak were he received instruction from the Temple of Torm and training as a Purple Dragon. He is a paladin. |

I DM one game, and play in two. My characters in these are:
Campaign 1 (Planescape): Rondell Rivvenstone, male rock gnome from Faerun, Bard 7, Feats: Still Spell, Eschew Material, Shadow Weave Magic, with Races of Stone's "Gnome Bard" substitution levels at 1st, and Planar's Handbook's "Bard" substitution levels at 3rd and 6th; this fellow is essentially geared to become a true portal master, with Analyze Portal spell and his portal redirection 6th-level bard substitution level ability (replaces "Suggestion")... This one is geared towards one level dip into Shadow Adept, all five levels of Shadowmage, and ultimately, as many levels in the Sublime Chord PrC as he can get (it was hard to pull out but he'll qualify for all three PrCs). In a campaign such as Planescape, deciding to redirect a portal to any portal you've used in the last 30 days can be really, really useful to say the least! I'm really attached to this character and had wanted to play that kind of Chaotic Neutral PC for a long time (I was waiting for a senior, mature DM who can truly understand the nature of the Chaotic Neutral alignment -- I've never played such a character and my view on them is that they are the ultimate elitists, not the stupid suicidal idiots most players portray them as...)
Campaign 2 (Greyhawk): Durgan Blackrock, make gnome Rogue1/Ranger1/Fighter1, Feats: Dodge, Mobility, Combat Expertise; this guy is a melee-type geared towards Gnome Giant-Killer PrC, pure and simple. |

Saer Hamlim Marliir is a Knight of Shadowdale, son of Arickel Marliir, an ex-noble of Cormyr and Blaesgard Huldone of Shadowdale. He is in the begining of his career, and I pretend to follow the path of Knight without any PrC.
Giogi Ravencloak (Rogue/Spymaster) was born in Greyhawk, son of Khelben Ravencloak. He live most of his life in Sigil, and actually he came to Faerûn, and is a possible Moonstar Agent.  |

About to start in a part 2 Drow campaign.
Davek Dalith'Matrel (might have spelling of last name wrong =)
Playing a male of a house in Menzo, where he is the brother of the Matron. He slew their mother after she uncovered his sister's treachery that he got wrapped up in by association. He is the Weapon Master of the house. As of the last game his Matron had no children, but the game is being progressed 15 years since the last game.
He is a Fighter with a Prestige class of "Champion of Vhaerun". It is a custom PrC based on the "Champion of Corellion" PrC. Might be changing the name of the PrC.

Normally I'm the game master but I also play in a campaign of a friend of me:
Currently I play Boddynock Alleslosh Turen, a gnome transmuter from Hillsfar. I see the frowning faces from the more experienced players when I say a gnome from Hillsfar, but in the Forgotten Realms-campaign of my friend, Hillsfar's politics aren't so racist :-)
Because we started the campaign a year ago and the game master doesn't have much time to play my character is only level 3. But that doesn't mean I don't like to play that particular campaign :-) Boddynock's partymembers are Jozef Bugman (yeah stupid name and ripped from the warhammer world :p:p) a dwarven cleric, Ingeborg Bugman a female dwarven barbarian and Erily a female human ranger. Boddynock's familiar is a small faery dragon called Peppita. At the moment the party is in Cormyr and they just stopped an evil cult of Tiamat. I'm sure we will hear more of that cult in the future :-)
During the past I played a few other characters. The most important are:
- Dorn Tallstag: a human druid of Silvanus. When the campaign ended, Dorn was arrested by the guards of Mulmaster so I suppose he is still in jail (or worse !!)
(Forgotten Realms)
- Rudolf Weathermay: Rudolf Weathermay is my 1'st real and serieous AD&D character. The game master made a Night below boxed set/forgotten realms crossover campaign, so most of the action was in Harenshire. Rudolf Weathermay is a goodhearthy paladin of Tyr. When he is in the underdark fighting against the evil Kuo Toa and/or Illithids he can count on Lizaar his godly send steed". (yes, Lizaar is a lizard :).
- Daereck: During a small evil-minded minicampaign I played Daereck. Daereck was the oldest son of an important drow house in the underdark. When the matron mother ordered an attack on a Duergar caravan (a caravan that travelled to the family of the first house of the drow city)Daereck and his sister and younger brother leaded a warband. The mission was a success and we were thinking the first house had no clue who did the attack (we left no survivors), but we were wrong. A "speak with dead" spell revealed the truth and our house was attacked by a combined force of drow houses. We escaped the slaughtering of our house and the sister (priestess of lolth) made a pact with this foull goddess. If we succeeded in a large ambush on a nearby town on the surface, we will get our rightly place in the city back. What only the player who played the priestess knows was that there had to be a sacrifice. The sacrifice was my character Laereck (bloody bastards lol). When the priestess was done with him he was transformed in a Drider. Later we sacked the town and received our place back in the drow hierarchy. (nice detail, when we attacked the town we realised that the town was the home-town of the characters we play in the Nightbelow/Forgotten Realms crossover-campaign). So later our character from that campaign came back in a town that was plundered by drow :)

lol, indeed Allwynn is such a guy who ask money when helping people and who has god knows how many unwanted children by as much many girls. But nevertheless it's a person with a good background that can provide for good campaign sessions.
maybe you should try to sign a pact just as Evaryan did *wink* |
