The sudden fur, muzzle, and change of shape terrified the girl, who screamed and ran out. During a moment of intimacy with one of the merchants daughter in a barn, he had his first shifting. Gathering alchemy ingredients in a nearby forest, a powerful fey he mistakenly disturbed cursed him in a way he didn't realize until much later. A relatively normal, if ambitious boy who was receiving schooling to be a healer for the community he lived in flirting with a local merchants daughter, helping his family, enjoying life in his formidable years. Secretly, he dreams of rebuilding the shattered circle in honor of his lost family, but he holds little hope for that dream to ever become a reality.īurch is up and running (mythweavers doesn't work at my office, so I run my stuff off Google Drive and Hero Lab)Ī fanglord raised around Nirmathas, he started his life fairly normal as a human under a name he no longer remembers (or cares enough to remember). Now, he's as much a citizen of Phaendar as anyone, plying his trade as a trapper to make ends meet whatever else he might be, green blends into the forest, and he still feels at home there even after everything that's happened. In the months and years that followed, the healer adopted him and helped him adjust to his new reality. By the time the blight had run its course, Darrius had become an ooze, barely able to hold himself together long enough to communicate. The Darkblight had taken root, and over the course of several agonizing days it consumed him, his body melting away to be replaced by something new and horrific. The town healer took him in and did the best she could to tend his wounds, but there was worse than fever in his blood. Though the sacrifice of his parents allowed him to escape with his life, he was gravely wounded, and in his flight he barely made it to Phaendar before collapsing. They fell upon the circle with wrath and fury, killing everyone he'd held dear and very nearly doing the same to him. He would follow in his parents' footsteps, honoring and defending the wildlands and serving as emissary to the fae therein.īut that all changed when those selfsame fae fell victim to the Darkblight. It just opens so much story potential, and can make for some very interesting characters.Raised in the Green Faith by one of the oldest druid circles in the Fangwood Forest, Darrius always thought he knew which direction his life was headed in, even at the tender age of 12. I've had the same thought myself, and for the same reasons. Oreads often get cast as stony chunks of living mountains, but I think a dryad-descended oread with tree-like features would be really compelling. This can also apply, if you want to go there, to fey with elemental themes. Because they are both dragons and creatures with elemental subtypes native to the inner sphere, they can be used as origins for characters with dragon features, and/or for characters with elemental features. Azata are Chaotic Good outsiders, ergo mortals descended from them could be aasimar, ganzi, or some combination of the two, depending. My personal interpretation is that whenever you get something that fits into 2 or more categories (celestial AND elemental, dragon AND elemental, shadow AND fiend, chaotic AND good), you can have the same origin for multiple types of creatures.Īasimar are descended from Good outsiders Ganzi are descended from Chaotic outsiders. The Dragon suggestion is neat, or they could reflect subelements the way Ice appears under Water, or if Golarion itself has a means of different action I'm unaware of that would work too. Now that you mention it, that is VERY thought provoking, since they're Geniekin (ergo, descended from Genies) it hadn't occurred to me that it could really be a thing. Now I'm wondering about Lineages for Geniekin That right there is a high quality thing to wonder about. It's one of my dreams to finally see Paizo's approach into something more akin to the dragonborns - an ancestry of humanoid dragons closely related to the true ones.įrom now, alongside the geniekin and more informations of the other planar scions, the Sprite is my favorite inclusion in the book. I love kobolds, and the way they are more draconic in 2E surely pleased me, but they aren't dragons. It would be awesome if among those ancestries or versatile heritages, there was a playable dragon.
