Name: Enoch Race: Human Class: Cleric (serves Pelor) Played By: Bogan |
Backstory:
Bogan wrote a great backstory for this character way back during out first campaign. Since then I’ve managed to misplace it. I’ll update this once I find his story. It’s somewhere in my DM notes.
Bogan is quiet, and so Enoch ends up being pretty quiet in-game as well. He’s actually one of the most observant characters, and uses his spells wisely. He’s caught me off guard a few times with suddenly casting a lesser-known (read: non-combat) spell like “zone of truth” when I wasn’t expecting it. As a DM, I always find it rewarding when players come up with solutions I hadn’t thought of.
Why Batman Can't Kill
His problem isn't that he's dumb, the problem is that he bends the world he inhabits.
Rage 2
The game was a dud, and I'm convinced a big part of that is due to the way the game leaned into its story. Its terrible, cringe-inducing story.
The Gradient of Plot Holes
Most stories have plot holes. The failure isn't that they exist, it's when you notice them while immersed in the story.
Crysis 2
Crysis 2 has basically the same plot as Half-Life 2. So why is one a classic and the other simply obnoxious and tiresome?
Programming Vexations
Here is a 13 part series where I talk about programming games, programming languages, and programming problems.
Question, do you hang onto ‘spell lists’ in noncombat situations?
I love playing smart spell casters. Theres nothing like making a DM krap his pants because I possibly just derailed a campain with a smart spell combo.
illusions need much more credit!
Find it damit! If someone would have lost my “great” (no way lol) background story i would be fuzzing bout it for ages till i he found it again.
dude that name “bogan” is definetly from star wars
Illusion magic 4 lyfe, yo. I’m playing a Wizard 9/Rogue 2/Shadowdancer 1 in an (admittedly stagnant) online campaign… Forget Evocation and Transmutation and all of that shit. The non-combat magic is what makes casters all-powerful.
I had a theory about a year ago that if you never stated to others that you were actually casting an illusion, you can perform a weird arcane healing because the target believes the healing spell to be real. Since Illusion is almost entirely based on perception of truth, a PC with high bluff skills can basically convince all others that his spells are real and not illusions. A skilled and intelligent illusionist can best all but the greatest of mages with little effort using this theory.
@Dimas: That’s the point behind “shadow conjuration” and the like. :)
About 4 1/2 years since Shamus posted this and still no update on Enoch’s backstory.
And then one of my OTHER ideas is a super-vain Cleric or Paladin, that worships himself as the religion, and that’s where he gets his spells from.
So…. any luck finding that backstory?
I guess not
