Achlys, Drowtales Fan Version by llemaire, on Flickr
In the campaign she came from, Achlys was a mole for the big bad. If I'm not mistaken, she and said big bad were an item. Her fellow "adventurers" were indentured to this big bad for a time and entertained hopes of someday killing him. So she kept an eye on them for her the villain and my whole goal the entire campaign was to bide my time until she could betray them in the final confrontation. Sadly, I had to move cities before that happened and since then the character has been languishing in creative limbo.
As stated in the one news post, she was a necromancer. Aerisa suggested (for a DT conversion) she be made into a summoner. Particularly, a summoner that specializes in using fae as summons. I can definitely see that for Achlys - when I played her, she transformed whatever corpses she could get hold of into undead minions. So, summoner makes sense. (For the above picture, I used a traditional nether summon because that just looks cool.)
Hm. I have more to add to this but I'll save that for later. Thanks for letting me brainstorm on my art post...and thanks again, Aerisa, for the suggestion. I really appreciate it.
