Thank you for your kind words.
As for rules, I tried to keep things simple, according to the C&C philosophy, but I had to adapt a few things regarding character races.
- Both docrae and halflings are mechanically identical to C&C halflings;
- Cumasti and Westryn elves are mechanically identical to C&C elves;
- High Thonians are treated as C&C humans, except they must choose Charisma, Intelligence or both as prime attributes. They start the game with 5d4x10 extra gold pieces;
- Thonians are treated as C&C humans;
- Peshwah have two Prime attributes (unlike other humans who have three). Like some half-elves, they have an intermediate attribute. They do not suffer the penalty associated with fighting horsemounted and start the game with a steppe charger.[/list]
That being said, I'll go back to the campaign.
While the wokan isn't exactly a pleasant person, she is not really a villain. In fact, as the game start she isn't a credible threat even for low-level PCs. The real threat is the corrupted inquisitor (at least for the first scenario or so).
However, the wokan is connected to at least two of the PCs:
- one of the PCs is, unknown to him, a cave bear or a sabertooth tiger (I'm not sure, yet) she polymorphed into a human with the aid of a magical device. Basically, the bear was a cub whose mother was killed by the local lord for sport. The wokan, using a few threat, convinced the local lord to act as a godfather for the cub which she polymorphed into a human child, crafting a magical device for this purpose. However, she had absolutely not planned that the bear turned into a human would develop a soul and become a paladin of the High Thonian Church. In fact, a few priests of Odir are surprised and question their god's decision to welcome a bear as a paladin ;
- the other PC is - or was a powerful inquisitor. Unfortunately, during the battle with the Wokan, she cursed him "you who tries to rob me of my future, I rob you of your past". He forgot almost everything he knew. He starts the game as a low-level wizard, with a spell focus and no knowledge of his past. During the game, he'll get occasional flashbacks about his pasts. Perhaps, he'll even find his own tower one day!
