  • The woman in the final panels. Aribeth de Tylmarande was a major character in the Neverwinter Nights core campaign and its second expansion. A paladin of Tyr who’s faith was tested and eventually broken after her boyfriend was executed as a scapegoat by the Neverwinter government. Could swap alignments nearly half a dozen times over the two campaigns. Pretty complicated character for a 2002 video game where the campaign was really just to show what the modding tools could do. Also had wildly impractical armor.










  • I had a character who’s backstory wasn’t too far off from that. The career changes weren’t entirely voluntary, though, and usually were because he had suddenly lost all his money and needed to go adventuring again to rebuild his wealth. By the time the campaign was set, he was close to a millennium old, borderline senile, and making some very outrageous claims about things he had supposedly done in the past, like getting into a bar fight with Selune during the Time of Troubles or having once dated Lolth.
