The next character of mine that I will spotlight is the son of Lenna, I wanted to continue the family line since our Dungeon Master decided that he wanted to do a continuation of sorts of his last campaign set several years later. I found this to be the perfect reason to continue the family line, and give him something to work off of. Garrick took me quite a while to figure out what to do with, class wise until I finally settled on a Duskblade. Combining magic and raw power, the Duskblade is quite versatile at making things not live anymore, as well as support. So with this in mind, I had to figure out how a kid from non-magical parents had a penchant to cast magic. This is where the Duskblade's ability to spontaneous cast became an asset, it didn't really need to be explained thoroughly how he gained the ability as it tends to just "awaken" in people as with Sorcerers.
So with this in mind, I had the next generation of Morgraine set up class wise, I just needed to work on a backstory and a build for said class. I took the backstory aspect first, as this is generally the part that I enjoy doing more often than building up a class when I get serious. This character was my first serious one, as I didn't want to put a slapdash character into the mix for once (or one, that was essentially built for me by another player... But that is a different story).
So next time on Cleaving Rampage Productions, Garrick Morgraine's backstory.
