Strix Nebulosa, D&D mad scientist character.
I don't think anyone has ever tried this idea before.
D&D character, mad scientist.
It's going to play like a sorcerer with cleric abilities, though I'll have to rework a lot of spells and things.
Char BG info:
Strix was born in a rather wealthy town.
This town was a thriving melting pot of cultures, untill the pluage hit it with full force.
Many were killed by the disease, and Strix was one of the thousands that contracted it.
Bubonic plague's mortality rate is approximately 50%-60%; pneumonic plague is usually fatal if not treated within 24 hours.
Against all odds, Strix survived the onslaught of the virus, though it left his body weak and, to be frank, completely fucked up.
This event prompted him to attend a medical school, where he graduated top of his class, became a professor, and improved profoundly apon the school's scientific methods.
He was eventualy kicked out for unauthorised experiments involving dead bodies in the school's labs.
At a later time, he was drafted my the millitary of the area in a war.
This war was fought against magic users.
Good ones.
Strix was on the non-magic side, and his allies suffered many casualties.
What Strix saw in in his time of service drove him insane and he had to be removed from service.
He eventualy recovered, but was still quite mad.
He took up his old trade as a scientist and now travels the country side, looking for ways to practive his unknown arts of technology and science.
Some of his faces and shit
Strix will be a very animated character.
Making Frankenstein monsters, arguing with clerics, and generaly electrocuting anything that moves are only a few perks of playing him.
