Help me pick a character concept! 😩
🕑 Added 2023-07-24 15:29:48 +0000 UTCI'm stuck between two concepts for a character for this week's video and I need somebody else to make the decision for me! Without context or detail: which one interests you more?
(Also accepting name suggestions in the comments if you have any, for either concept!)
Comments
Marcel Kral
true enough, wasn't thinking or rather was already starting to plan out an npc inspired by that concept :D
Ginny Di
...her! All my characters are women!
Marcel Kral
Tiefling baker, call him Roland or Rol(l) for short
Brooks Moses
I think these are both excellent ideas ... but I suppose you wouldn't have asked us if it they weren't!
Steven Lanzarotta
I’m contractually obligated to always pick the spooky option. I don’t make the rules. 👻
Brian Seals
My suggestion for a name for a changeling is "Jynx Dusk"
Alex Caton
Bonflamé "or just call me Bonnie" for the one who uses infernal fire to cook delicious food.
Anthony Docimo
if i have to pick one to vote for, i say baker
Anthony Docimo
they're both very tempting and potentially full of character development to come...maybe the wholesome tiefling baker who makes wholesome foods - but some of her equipment is cursed, and she can't get rid of those equipment (or won't?)
Fred Bertsch
Ha! Then I'll switch to the changeling and hope they've got a cursed muffin or a magical doughnut.
Ginny Di
No gnome this time, but that's an adorable name!!
Ginny Di
hey, I didn't ask what you thought would be easy for me, I asked which was most interesting 😜 leave the costume design to me!
Ginny Di
very cool!! doesn't really work in this context, since this is a sort of a "flavor character" for a video about player options (so this character isn't really the focus) but a very interesting concept for another changeling!
Ginny Di
make it Vincenza and you've got a deal lol
Ginny Di
because I have the right makeup/contact lenses to cosplay a changeling in their true form 😛
Luka Murphy
Looks like the spooktacular nerdy item vendor's leading the pack. I love the idea of a wholesome baker (the rare non-edgy Tief) but a changeling's also good - I just hope she has a cool headband eyepatch-style magnifier for item appraisal!
Jerry Barker
Chef Veeliam Stroganoff Tiefling, always like tiefling and see few nice ones.
Fletcher Williams
The only reason I didn't pick your Cheerful baker/chef is because I'm in 2 D&D games where folks have picked that concept. Pastry is a big draw, apparently. Killed by pirates is good. I mean, Changeling Curses are good.
John c McDonnell
I have to second the suggestion of another user Myriad sounds like an awesome name for a changeling
Lorcan Murphy
I freely admit that I picked changeling because it seems like a cool costuming design to take on and more different from your other characters. Sundra is a riff on sundry. I also like the suggestion for Myriad. Mari is hard put upon to improve all the displays and enhance the items. "Mari, add this! Mari, add that! Could I no just take a break?" In my canon, Changelings tend to only keep one simple name.
Tinman Ofoz
Predictably, Wednesday.
Amara Wiseman
Holiday “Holly” Apple-Blossom Plumkin - the Gnome Chef!
Napear
Name ideas: Mirinda Spegulo Livro Fantasma Gizli Tooverkoper Gwyneth Shadowmark Rowena Grimm Elara Obsura
Daniel Melican
Spooky and nerdy sounds like all the cool people I know, so that's my jam. As for a name, maybe Myriad (or alternate spelling). Can be a nod to taking many forms, many identities and ways to describe themselves, while also sorta invoking the word "mysterious" (mostly the spelling but still)
Mallilion
Looking forward to you bringing this to life :)
betelgeuse
I love tieflings! I instantly pictured her with flour on her cheeks and a huge white apron, putting some bagels on her horns to cool. :D And her name is Delight. <3
Max Brannan
A Tiefling cook named Capsaicin makes sense
Fred Bertsch
Isn't costume design for a changling mostly a nightmare? I voted for the chef.
Connor Altier
Oooh, Option A was actually my concept for my first Pathfinder character! A magical merchant is so fun
Happyman
I like the idea of a classic doppelganger take on the changeling. The idea that it has no name and so is collecting the names of all of its victims but this one has developed an emotional connection to all of these people that it has replaced and vacillates between the names like old lovers that they have this reminiscent fondness for despite how it ended. This could be played out by them always speaking in third person and getting distracted as they remember details that they liked about that version of them.
Michael Harris
Name idea: Vinnie the Junk Dealer. His side hustle is to offer cursed items to buyers who then use them for the demise of thier enemies.
Denise Atwood
I was also torn for this one. When I read the first I was instantly sold ... but then you said cheerful chef and baker, which was basically me for 20 years lol (minus the horn) Ultimately I went for baker... but only because maybe spooky item vendor will fit the fall better?
George J.Lekkas
That was an easy one, the first NPC is likely needed for someone campaign. The second one is too mundane. By the way, why Changeling when you can use a doppleganger . They can create more challenging stories. ;)
Rick Henderson
Spooky vendor name. "Lorice"
simon jones
Thank you, I know its against the lore but I saw her as trying to be a different type of changeling, rather than being a vendor selling cursed items like might be expected of the bad rep changeling can have but someone who was a curse breaker trying to do good and changed how people look at their species, which also included a fancier to fit in better. But then I do things weirdly, my last game had the evil elven empire as bad guys
Josh Dawson
Gender-neutral, kinda spooky in a "scooby doo" sort of way, their business could be called "Knick-knack's Knick-knacks!" haha
Sir Bloom the Third
Changelings need some love too. Plus your makeup with your little feral gnome is a vibe.
Leo Jackson
For the changeling: Venefica. Latin for “sorceress” or “poisoner”
Ginny Di
oh, that's so cute?!
Josh Dawson
Knick-knack as a possible name for the changeling merchant?
Ginny Di
these are incredible omg 😍 I'm also a nut for shifty wares, although I tend to lean more towards incompetence than malice when creating surprising items, so this could be a fun exploration!!
Ginny Di
damn, that's a hell of a name!! probably not quite right for a changeling, since they tend to have really short names, but I love the vibes!
Littledndshack
Love the idea of someone who scares the shit out of you at first but then is super happy and nice ❤️❤️❤️
Khadorek
Tiefling could be named Sear, and her specialty? (Sell Your) Soul Food
TheSimzLife
I like Maria for the teifling! Idk why
Andrew Kibelbek
These are both wonderful, but I have a soft spot for changelings and for shifty vendors with dubious wares... a Cloak of Invisibility (that also blinds you while you're invisible). A Circlet of Language Comprehension (that lets you speak a new language fluently but makes you forget Common). A Dagger of Healing (deals 1d4 damage AND heals 1d8 hp simultaneously).
simon jones
Spooky for the win, I also like Vhala'thuda Dhuumathor for a name
Jennifer DeJesus
For the changeling how about Dusty? That seems evocative for the hair/complexion colors in changeling art I've seen.
Kalcheus
As someone who loves Legends & Lattes I have to go with the Tiefling Chef
M. Bock
100% always gonna vote spooky, BUT that might be good to save for Sept/Oct too :)
Kent (Otakukent)
Oh I can add on to that how about spelling Vicky like this Vichy it would still be a food pun because of a French soup called Vichyssoise
Hog and Dice
I'd love to see both. But the idea of some little weirdo opening up a trench coat full of random knick knacks to make a clandestine sale is just too delightful
David Pierce
There HAS to be a "Devil's Food Cake" name pun somewhere
Browncoat Jayson
Changelings tend to have very short names. Something fun, like Salt. Ironic since they are *not* the baker. lol
Ginny Di
oh my god, the changeling is winning but all these chef ideas are convincing me that I need to sit on that tiefling idea for a future video 😂
Kjell McGuirk
Wholesome demon girl chef please. ohmagod.
Svenulf
I want both, but feel I must vote against my love of spook, bc cute wholesome baker tiefling is so great
Bobbie Markwick
If the chef has a business: Devil's Eggs?
Ginny Di
CROQUETTE-- 🥹
ChatN
Farella for the vendor; Croquette for the baker.
Rachel Paige
I love using nouns for Tiefling names, so if you pick the baker maybe like the name of a type of pastry?
Ginny Di
god, that's relatable 😂
Ginny Di
there are soooo many possibilities for a good tiefling virtue name inspired by food/cooking!! for some reason I'm thinking her name is Victual and she goes by Vic or Vickie 😂
Sam Tillett
These characters feel like the two versions of me in fall.
Chris Codina
I see Spooky and I must vote.
Kent (Otakukent)
The chef should have a name that’s unique I think basing the name off of a food or food pun would be interesting
Aleph Sharp
Dont get me wrong, I love a good baker, but for you, the POSSIBILITIES for quest writing for a changeling item seller are soooo interesting
