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.
