Profile

Tyranny of Dragons

Vaniesa found herself getting much more than she asked for when she found herself tangled in the web of the Dragon Cult. Her interest in dragons proved to be an asset as well as a curse, and her curiosity led to her hatching an egg stolen by the Cult, and now she needed to figure out how to raise a black dragon hatchling while also putting a stop to the Cult's attempts to bring Tiamat to the mortal plane.

PERSONALITY TRAITS

I’ve spent so long in the temple that I have little practical experience dealing with people in the outside world.

I quote (or misquote) sacred texts and proverbs in almost every situation.

IDEALS

Faith. I trust that my deity will guide my actions. I have faith that if I work hard, things will go well. (Lawful)

BONDS

I owe my life to the priest who took me in when my parents died.

FLAWS

Once I pick a goal, I become obsessed with it to the detriment of everything else in my life.

FEATURES & TRAITS

Arcane Recovery
Once per day when you finish a short rest, you can choose expended spell slots to recover - up to a combined level of 4, and none of the slots can be 6th level or higher.
Divination Savent
The gold and time you must spend to copy a divination spell into your spellbook is halved.
Portent
When you finish a long rest, roll two d20s and record the numbers rolled. You can replace any attack roll, saving throw, or ability check made by you or a creature that you can see with one of these foretelling rolls. You must choose to do so before the roll, and you can replace a roll in this way only once per turn. Each roll can only be used once.
Expert Divination
When you cast a divination spell of 2nd level or higher using a spell slot, you regain one expended spell slot. The slot you regain must be of a level lower than the spell you cast and can’t be higher than 5th level.
Darkvision
You can see in darkness (shades of gray) up to 60 ft.
Fey Ancestry
You have advantage on saves against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.
Trance
You don't need to sleep, but meditate semiconsciously for 4 hours a day. While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.
Lucky
You have 3 luck points per long rest. Whenever you make an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw (or when an attack roll is made against you), you can spend one to roll an additional d20 and you choose which die to use. You can choose to spend luck points after you roll the die, but before the outcome is determined.
War Caster
You have advantage on CON saving throws that you make to maintain your concentration on a spell when you take damage. You can perform the somatic components of spells even when you have weapons or a shield in one or both hands. You can use your reaction to make an opportunity attack to cast a spell that has a casting time of 1 action and targets only that creature.
Fey Teleportation
Increase your INT or CHA score by 1. You learn to speak, read, and write Sylvan. You learn the misty step spell and once per short rest you can cast it without expending a spell slot. INT is your spellcasting ability for this spell.

Trivia

Appearance Change
She had made a promise she could not keep, and in an attempt to lie, she cut her hair and scarred her face. She never fully healed those scars even years after as a reminder of what she had gone through. It didn't seem right to erase it away.

Links

Adhoc Lorathon
Her adopted guardian, the one who raised her within a temple of Ioun located in Baldur's Gate. She took his last name to honor him for all that he had done for her, and the trouble she'd put him through.
Nell
A good friend she had met during her journey to stop the Dragon Cult's attempts to raise Tiamut again. She still blames herself for his death, even after he was revived in the end. She wishes she could be a better friend.
Sil
Another she had met when trying to stop the Dragon Cult. She feels terrible for all she'd had to go through when she was younger. She thinks of her as a good friend.
Illiandrus Lorathon
Her adopted child, raised from the moment it hatched from an egg she had smuggled away from the Cult of Tiamat. She sometimes grows frustrated with her and worries herself sick sometimes, but she's ultimately very proud of the person Illiandrus became.

Appearance

Vaniesa has light copper skin, and dark red hair that goes to just past her shoulders. Her eyes are a light green and extremely attentive. She's fairly thin, but not especially muscular. She typically wears a purple tunic and cape, and worn but sturdy boots.

Background

She grew up in Baldur's Gate, raised by priests within the temple of Ioun. She had no memories of her birth parents as she was so young at the time she was left on the steps of the temple. She's always had a thirst for knowledge for as long as she can remember, which the priests who raised her did all they could to fuel. One priest, Adhoc, was the one who primarily cared for her. He was a powerful wizard before he devoted his life to the goddess Ioun. He took notice of her interest in learning and trained her in the ways of being a wizard, teaching her all he knew about every subject under the sky. One topic she took entrancement in was dragons.

It soon became apparent that she had learned all she could under Adhoc's care, and yet she still needed to learn more. The adviser of the bishop, Ontharr Frume, had been carefully watching Vaniesa's progress for many years. Knowing she had progressed as far as she could in Baldur's Gate, he asked her to travel to Greenest in search of rumors of increasing dragon activity. This was a perfect chance for her to further her knowledge in something she cared about, and she excitedly jumped at the opportunity.

Notes

Optional Feature: Dragon Scholar
You have studied dragons and their lore for many years. You can automatically identify locations built or used by dragons and can identify dragon eggs and scales by sight. If you fail an Intelligence check to recall lore relating to dragons, you know someone or some book you can consult for the answer unless the DM rules that the lore is unknown.

Appearance

Vaniesa has light copper skin, and dark red hair that goes to her mid-back when in a braid, or just past her waist when down. Her eyes are a light green and although more tired, they are extremely attentive. She's not as thin as she once once, but she's still slim. She typically wears a purple tunic, and a silver cape that has the appearance of stars underneath. She also wears nice, sturdy boots.

Background

She grew up in Baldur's Gate, raised by priests within the temple of Ioun. She had no memories of her birth parents as she was so young at the time she was left on the steps of the temple.

PERSONALITY TRAITS

I’ve spent so long in the temple that I have little practical experience dealing with people in the outside world.

I quote (or misquote) sacred texts and proverbs in almost every situation.

IDEALS

Faith. I trust that my deity will guide my actions. I have faith that if I work hard, things will go well. (Lawful)

BONDS

I owe my life to the priest who took me in when my parents died.

FLAWS

Once I pick a goal, I become obsessed with it to the detriment of everything else in my life.

FEATURES & TRAITS

Arcane Recovery
Once per day when you finish a short rest, you can choose expended spell slots to recover - up to a combined level of 4, and none of the slots can be 6th level or higher.
Divination Savent
The gold and time you must spend to copy a divination spell into your spellbook is halved.
Portent
When you finish a long rest, roll two d20s and record the numbers rolled. You can replace any attack roll, saving throw, or ability check made by you or a creature that you can see with one of these foretelling rolls. You must choose to do so before the roll, and you can replace a roll in this way only once per turn. Each roll can only be used once.
Cantrip Formulas
You have scribed a set of arcane formulas in your spellbook that you can use to formulate a cantrip in your mind. Whenever you finish a long rest and consult those formulas in your spellbook, you can replace one wizard cantrip you know with another cantrip from the wizard spell list.
Expert Divination
When you cast a divination spell of 2nd level or higher using a spell slot, you regain one expended spell slot. The slot you regain must be of a level lower than the spell you cast and can’t be higher than 5th level.
The Third Eye
Once per short rest, you can use your action to choose one of the following benefits, which lasts until you are incapacitated or you take a short or long rest. You gain darkvision out to a range of 60 ft., you can see into the Ethereal Plane within 60 ft. of you, you can read any language, or you can see invisible creatures and objects within 10 ft. of you that are within line of sight.
Greater Portent
You roll three d20s for your Portent feature, rather than two.
Darkvision
You can see in darkness (shades of gray) up to 60 ft.
Keen Senses
You have proficiency in the Perception skill.
Fey Ancestry
You have advantage on saves against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.
Trance
You don't need to sleep, but meditate semiconsciously for 4 hours a day. While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.
Lucky
You have 3 luck points per long rest. Whenever you make an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw (or when an attack roll is made against you), you can spend one to roll an additional d20 and you choose which die to use. You can choose to spend luck points after you roll the die, but before the outcome is determined.
War Caster
You have advantage on CON saving throws that you make to maintain your concentration on a spell when you take damage. You can perform the somatic components of spells even when you have weapons or a shield in one or both hands. You can use your reaction to make an opportunity attack to cast a spell that has a casting time of 1 action and targets only that creature.
Spell Sniper (Wizard)
When you cast a spell that requires you to make an attack roll, the spell's range is doubled. Your ranged spell attacks ignore half cover and three-quarters cover. You learn one cantrip that requires an attack roll from your chosen class spell list (INT is your spellcasting ability for it).
Fey Teleportation
Increase your INT or CHA score by 1. You learn to speak, read, and write Sylvan. You learn the misty step spell and once per short rest you can cast it without expending a spell slot. INT is your spellcasting ability for this spell.
Metamagic Adept
Quickened Spell: When you cast a spell that has a casting time of 1 action, you can spend 2 sorcery points to change the casting time to 1 bonus action for this casting.
Twinned Spell: You can spend sorcery points equal to a spell's level (1 for a cantrip) to target a second creature in range with the same spell, as long as the spell at the level it's being cast is incapable of targeting more than one creature.

Nell
A good friend she had met during her journey to stop the Dragon Cult's attempts to raise Tiamut again. She still blames herself for his death, even after he was revived in the end. She wishes she could be a better friend.
Sil
Another she had met when trying to stop the Dragon Cult. She regrets not keeping in contact over the last few years, and wants to make up for that in the future.
Taryl
The first new face in her party. They didn't always get along, but she was glad for their help and would do whatever she could to help them in return, just as long as they didn't have mushrooms on their person.
Bailey
A young drow who joined her party on her second endeavor at stopping the Dragon Cult. She worries for his safety and questions his decisions, but has grown to care for him a lot.

Illiandrus Lorathon
Her adopted child, raised from the moment it hatched from an egg she had smuggled away from the Cult of Tiamat. She sometimes grows frustrated with her and worries herself sick sometimes, but she's ultimately very proud of the person Illiandrus became.
Ignatia Lorathon
Her second child, concieved with Rukodyne as the father. Vaniesa loves her and wants to be there for her, but refuses to let Ignatia go down the same path that she's now found herself on.

Notes

Optional Feature: Dragon Scholar
You have studied dragons and their lore for many years. You can automatically identify locations built or used by dragons and can identify dragon eggs and scales by sight. If you fail an Intelligence check to recall lore relating to dragons, you know someone or some book you can consult for the answer unless the DM rules that the lore is unknown.

Appearance

Vaniesa has light copper skin, and dark red hair that goes to her mid-back when in a braid, or just past her waist when down. Her eyes are a light green and although more tired, they are extremely attentive. She's not as thin as she once once, but she's still slim. She typically wears a purple tunic, and a silver cape that has the appearance of stars underneath. She also wears nice, sturdy boots.

Background

She grew up in Baldur's Gate, raised by priests within the temple of Ioun. She had no memories of her birth parents as she was so young at the time she was left on the steps of the temple. She's always had a thirst for knowledge for as long as she can remember, which the priests who raised her did all they could to fuel. One priest, Adhoc, was the one who primarily cared for her. He was a powerful wizard before he devoted his life to the goddess Ioun. He took notice of her interest in learning and trained her in the ways of being a wizard, teaching her all he knew about every subject under the sky. One topic she took entrancement in was dragons.

It soon became apparent that she had learned all she could under Adhoc's care, and yet she still needed to learn more. The adviser of the bishop, Ontharr Frume, had been carefully watching Vaniesa's progress for many years. Knowing she had progressed as far as she could in Baldur's Gate, he asked her to travel to Greenest in search of rumors of increasing dragon activity. This was a perfect chance for her to further her knowledge in something she cared about, and she excitedly jumped at the opportunity.
