I've a campaign I've been running for a very short amount of time thus far, however, the players are of a solid level (8) and things have been going almost smoothly for them.
We're using Forgotten Realms, by the way.
There's a Draconic Human Female Wizard, NG
Male Human Psion, NG
Male Human Bard (Middle-age), CG
Male Glacier Dwarf Druid, NG
Oh, and there's a Sorceress with them (succubus in disguise), but she'll be leaving soon, because the guy she was attempting to seduce (the Psion's previous character, a half-orc Fighter) left because of moral differences he had with the party. He was CN.
Now, I required everyone give me a nice character history that I could work with and use for their benefit and mine. I get to include it into the plot, and they get spotlight time. However... I did not receive a history from the Bard, and unfortunately he's sort of the 'party leader' (even if he sucks at the role, he's kinda everyone else's paycheck), and has essentially paid these mooks to help him.
In truth, he's a free Harper agent, and he's looking for his wife who he has found out may be in the Underdark. And he'd been looking for her for eight years at this point, the party he'd gathered, is relatively new. Now, this is all I've got from him.
I have some things I want some help with deciding his fate. I warned everyone if they didn't give me a history, I'd make one for them. Or, in this case, I'll have some help creating one for him. :smallamused:
Also: The players and myself have no intention of hitting the Underdark just anytime soon, they plan to go through Anauroch and their way to Waterdeep to do some more research on the Underdark first.
Another case I'd like to bring up... I'm extremely inexperienced with playing or using Bards, and he's becoming incredibly impotent by this level, what sort of PrCs should I suggest to him?
And one more thing, I'm looking for a way to get this Bard out of command of this party: The problem is the fact that I don't know how to keep all of these individuals together once that happens.
The Wizard wants to see the world a bit before returning to Silverymoon into an arranged marriage. The Psion has escaped from the Underdark awhile back, and is exploring the surface world, I should note he worships Eilistraee, oddly enough, and the Dwarf, too wishes to see the world, as he's left his home in the Great Glacier after a white dragon slew many of his kin. The dragon, was, in turn, destroyed (what he doesn't know is that the dragon is now a Draco Lich... :smallamused: ).
While at first glance it may seem easy enough to keep a bunch of people wanting to see the world together, the bard, is of course, in the way.
So... Now that I've said all of that jumbled mess... Help?
