>native american brown elf
Such a curious combination? And rather odd to observe? Usually they are either the whitest waifs or brown like bhurja.
>>
>>92812309
Had a player try the "My character is dead, but his identical twin immediately leaps out of a bush to join the party and claim all his old character's stuff as his own" bullshit. The rest of the party (good roleplayers) shouted "Doppleganger!" and ganked his new character, as this was way to contrived to NOT be a trap of some sort. He eventually rolled up a different character and joined the group in a more reasonable manner.

Random encounters don't need to be fights. Welcome your new pal.

>>92815619
Didn't Dragonlance do "native american brown" back in the day for one of the main characters? Though she might have been human rather than elf.

Immersion is your own responsibility, not the GM's.

They did Native American whites. Goldmoon was blonde hair, blue eyes. The perfect Mormon Aryan.

I've done something similar where new character was always some sort of relative claiming inheritance and always overtly prepared for what killed the previous one. If my Fighter died to a trap, my next one would be rogue or divination cleric who would not be afraid to take place of recently deceased because whatever killed them "wouldn't happen to me". Both GM and the party let me get away with it numerous times.

The further down the road the prophecy stretches, the vaguer you need to be, else you risk looking like a dumbass when you're constantly getting proved wrong. Don't drop names, don't show faces, and especially don't imply that the people who make it to the end are all the same people at the beginning. Use weird symbols and shit so if something falls through, everyone can be all "oh, we thought that meant (x), but it really turned out to be (y)", and feel correspondingly clever for having divined some alternative meaning from your bullshit.

Hello, tertiary. Question: why are you shitposting on a hobby board despite being so fucking clueless about related hobby?

Finding an elf ranger in a forest fighting unnatural monsters is believable, it's their natural habitat.
>>
>>92839568
Which does not explain why the ranger would suddenly want to leave the habitat to tag along with the party.
>>
>>92812451
Agreed. Need to find where his newest stuff is being posted outside of his Patreon.

Thats why you should play in caravans/mercenary companies if you got a shifty table. THen you can say that this guy was working under the ship deck/in the carrage, until now.

If you got a shifty party, you should be playing in situations that accomidate drop ins and drop outs.

>>92843679
setting the characters up as a part of any bigger organized group makes the players bitch and moan about railroading
>>
>>92839029
Most of the times players want to feel special, they want to be the ones the prophecy is about. When it turns out the assumption is wrong they won't take it easy.

all this could be prevented by single line in backstory "the character comes from identical octuplets" gives you plenty room for backup
