Background

    Nerrandor's home village was razed by marauding gnolls led by a demon-worshiping shaman. Only a child at the time, he was one of the few survivors, thanks to the heroism of Shazal, a visiting human priestess of Wee Jas. Nerrandor was mightily impressed by this cleric's battle magic, and by the way that she forced the shaman's ghoul allies to tear him to pieces. With no home to return to, he begged Shazal to teach him the ways of her goddess. After testing him repeatedly during the refugees' march to a new home, she finally agreed, and took him back to her temple for training.

    At the temple, Nerrandor immersed himself in the lore of the gods and magic, and continued the combat training of his youth. Upon his ordination, he found that he channeled divine energy differently than most of his fellow priests--more like the gods of life than those of death. Refusing to let this hinder him, he redoubled his studies, and found that this quirk allowed him to more readily find a place in adventuring companies, who always seemed to need healers.

    He is somewhat obsessed with learning about the dead and undead, but unlike many of his priesthood, he has a strong aversion towards the undead, and to many of the darker spells which are considered standard tools of Wee Jas's clerics. He does not seek to create or command the undead for his own ends, but to send them to his goddess for final judgement.

Appearance

Age 144; 5' 3", 105 lbs.; pale skin, jet black hair, green eyes; his black-enameled full plate includes a helmet decorated to look like a skull and a cuirass embossed with the flaming skull symbol of Wee Jas.

Notes

I created Nerrandor for Dungeon Crawl Classics #14: Dungeon Interludes, which my wife DMed in 2006-2007. Due to the demands of being a parent to two very small children, I was only able to play in the first two episodes. She continued the module with the other players, but they never played the final episode. For his stats after those two adventures, see Nerrandor.

    This page represents an advanced version suitable for playing that final scenario. I've rebuilt his stat block from scratch, so his ability scores, skills, feats, etc., do not match those of the original Nerrandor.
