;; I need to gush for just a moment. Cause I'm really excited for something happening this week --
And none of my fellow players follow this blog so it's safe to post here heheh.
One of my friends wants to DM a Curse of Strahd campaign. It's her favorite module and we've all been meaning to do it. She finally has the bug for it and we start this Thursday.
For the LONGEST time I had this silly little idea for Lucifer as a paladin. Now obviously him being the devil would be tricky in the world of DnD so that's been scrapped, but he does have celestial roots and he still gets his family.
In this, to be sneaky because I wanna surprise my fellow players, I decided to name him Samael Dawnstar (hahah.) He's an Aasimar with a faded halo above his head as his little nod that he's born from a God. He was raised in a religious temple and went through many holy teachings until he was in his early 20s and he met a woman named Lilly. He left the temple and abandoned his teachings to adventure with her and eventually settled down to make a family. They had a beautiful daughter named Lottie. (See where I'm going with this??)
One day, seemingly out of nowhere, Lilly and Lottie were dragged into the Hells of Avernus (the Hell in DnD world) and now Samael is determined to save them. The God(s) offer him aid if he simply follows their word and does as he's told he will be able to pull his family from Avernus.
So how does he end up in Barovia fighting the wonderful vampire named Strahd??
Well, it's part of the path the God(s) have led him on. So he's on this path, not really sure where it will take him, but he's got the determination to do it if only to see his family again.
What could go wrong????
Well, he's going to have an eventual realization that the God(s) are lying to him and he's going to become an Oathbreaker paladin >:D
His build is basically that he'll use splint armor (wooden based armor instead of heavy plate mail and such) and he uses a Glaive. Why? BECAUSE LUCIFER USES A GLAIVE.
This thing here? Absolutely a glaive and I have already played the traditional paladin with a sword and shield, I wanted him to be different. I am SO excited to go on this journey with this man. I even got some art commissioned from WeirdyStar to go along with it.
And to add to the feelings, Sam carries around a toy duck that was his daughters. Ahhhhh ok, here is the art below. I have so much more I could gush about but I'll zip it.
