Character Creation Challenge 7: MÖRK BORG

After the stress of vintage D&D, I wanted something a bit simpler. So off to Scvmbirther for a MÖRK BORG character....

Name: Merkari

Class: Occult Herbmaster

HP:2/2

Omens:1 (d2)

You are Merkari

Raised in calm isolation in the Sarkash dark.

Born of the mushroom, raised in the glade, watched by the eye of the moon in a silverblack pool.

Shrewd and Nihilistic. Lost three toes, limps. Obsessively collects small sharp stones.

Occult Herbmaster

Portable Laboratory

You carry a portable laboratory and continually search for frequently expended ingredients. Daily you have the materials to create two randomly determined decoctions and can brew a total of d4 doses. If unused they lose vitality after 24 hours.

List of Decoctions

1. Red Poison Toughness DR12 or -d10 HP.
2. Ezumiel's Vapor Pass a DR14 test or severe hallucinations for d4 hours.
3. Southern Frog Stew Vomit for d4 hours, pass a DR14 test or you can do nothing else.
4. Elixir Vitalis Heals d6 HP and stops infection. Can be habit-forming.
5. Spider-Owl Soup See in darkness, climb on walls for 30 minutes.
6. Fernor’s Philtre Translucent oil, must be dabbed right into the eye. Heals infection and gives +2 on Presence tests for d4 hours.
7. Hyphos’ Enervating Snuff Berserk! Two attacks per round but defend with DR14. Lasts one fight. Must be snorted, causes sneezing.
8. Black Poison Toughness DR14 or -d6 HP and blinded for one hour.

Abilities

• Strength+1
• Agility-1
• Presence±0
• Toughness±0

Equipment

• Waterskin and 1 day's worth of food
• Staff d4 damage
• Leather armor -d2 damage, tier 1
• Sackcloth bag, and 12 small sharp stones
• Rope, 30 feet
• Shield (-1 HP damage or have the shield break to ignore one attack)
• 106 silver

No interesting animals on this one, sadly. I have fond memories of Captain Beaky the Wonder Hawk and he wasn't even part of my character's equipment. But this one's pretty well equipped and the random decoctions look fun. Let's have a go. Dice say we're getting Ezumiel's Vapor and Black Poison. Merkari is ready to mess people up.

 

I think I could have a lot of fun with Merkari and their collection of sharp rocks. I used my new sharp dice to roll those decoctions, so I find them pretty relatable.
