This was the other pic I was working on yesterday. I know, two pics in two days, that's better than I can say for the last two months. Fallout 3/New Vegas eat a surprising amount of time. Good thing Skyrim does not launch till the end of the year.

This is Meryl Teltanil, my new D&D 4E LFR Bard. She combines two of my favorite things in combat, battlefield control and twinked out powers. From second level she can give an enemy up to a -8 to hit with her Vicious Mockery At-Will power (compared to a base -2). Best of all, even the worst DM about allowing player character powers to work can't deny that all these penalties all stack.

She's another elitist Eladrin who is in it for the money. I'm trying to find a way to have her be personable but simultaneously sarcastic. I'm thinking I may go with a touch of Spider Man for personality to achieve that. Another amusing quirk she has is that, like many smart people, she believes a lot of crazy conspiracy theory type things. I still need to hammer out the details but they may include things like, all small creatures (gnomes, halflings, goblins, kobolds, etc) being part of a secret international thieves guild, or Orcs being the result of Ogre Magi trying to breed a half-ogre half-human army (to get the rapid breeding properties of humans with the strength and durability of an ogre) to invade the Feywild.


Dungeons and Dragons etc are property of Wizards of the Coast.

Dwarves aren't the problem. They may be short but they're stocky and they rarely weigh in below 180 lbs. They are the only short people you will hear coming, thus the only ones you can trust.

Yea I just said Dwarves because they would be the least likely to do something like that. Unless one is going to make the argument from dwarves being wealthy.

Dwarves could be the wealthy money launderers for the filthy halfling crime syndicate.

Great design man. So this one is an elf? She's pretty elf looking, especially with the armor, color scheme, shape of the weapons, etc.

So what would a fantasy world conspiracy theory be like? Maybe the dwarves secretly control all the banks and pubs.

Eladrin are basically high elves, as opposed to wood elves and dark elves. They are the elves that dwell in cities and hold their forest and cave dwelling relatives with disdain.

Actually, in the Eberron campaign setting the dwarves of House Kundarak control all the banking in the known world. Basically, the scheme I described starts with the notion that all halflings are thieves Add in that gnomes are troublemakers who also steal things. Take from this that all small races are thieves. Then consider that most towns have thieves' guilds. The corrupt city watch never stop them leaving adventurers to deal with members of various thieves' guilds. In most cases, the majority of those thieves will be halflings or other small creatures. Thus, there is a worldwide conspiracy of little people to control governments via syndicated crime.

Makes sense.

So she's scared of the little people then. But is it really the little people that are behind it or is it just that they are being used by others?

The modules have lead most of us to hate the little people enough to not want to absolve them of any guilt.
