Hey, My name is Richard thou the name i tend to go online with is Rman88 or rman for short. I know its not the most creative name but ehh i was never good at picking names. Still i am a 31 year old man from Wisconsin with over 12 years D&D experience including Running my own campaigns and a lot of home brew. Still i bet your wondering what i was talking about with this title. Well i had this idea running around my head where i build a slightly crazy alchemist focused on aoe damages all the while exploiting the terrain to his advantage. Now to be specific i was planning on going  Saboteur due to the archetype being tied to gnomes. And the fact that i just didn't like the other bomb focused archetypes. Now the backstory is a bit of a complicated thing. Long story short he was part of a alliance between a clan of gnome traders and a dwarf clan who maid claim to a metal rich mountain. Their partnership had earned both clans great wealth and my guy was the heir to half of the mountain. That said in order to keep him safe and out of the hands of bandits. He ended up living most his lives with the dwarfs. Quickly becoming blood brothers with the other heir to the mountain. That said the slow and safe mining practices the dwarfs used were too slow in this eyes. And he had ambition to expand and turn this small mine into a great hold. Turning to alchemy he planned to use explosives to blast the hard rock into rubble. And shovel out the ore without the need of pick axes or years of work. And lets be honest we all knew where this was going. the guy ended up blowing up half the mountain killing his brother in the process. as the only thing that remained of the poor dwarf was a hand sticking out of a pile of rubble holding lantern which spoke to him. Or to be more specific the flame did. It claimed to be his dead brother and that their was a chance he could undo this all by leaving and finding a way to revive him. As as long as the flame is still lit and is burning brightly then he can return with the right help to this world. So now he travels the world seeking a way to save his brother. Granted its hard to say if the flame is really the soul of his brother, greif stricken madness or something else. Anyway if you like this idea hit me up with a dm and i can exchange discord info. Note, i can only play between 4pm and 10 pm central time due to work.
