Nik Nak by Jacob Blackmon |
I was waiting on today's Character Creation Challenge until I got my copy of Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse today. While this collects a bunch of material for other books into one volume, I did want to wait to see what the options for new character races/species were. And I can say I am not disappointed at all!
Personally I like having all these different options in my games. Especially with the way I have been playing D&D 5 of late. It makes me want to make my part of the world something akin to Elis Island of the Multiverse. A place where everyone comes too on their way to new lands.
One of those places in my town of West Haven. Once I settled on that then the choice of today's character was an easy one.
Nik Nak is a goblin fey-pact Warlock in service to the Goblin King. I featured him a while back for my Swords & Wizardry Warlock book; which introduced both the warlock class and the goblin playable species. Here he is in his D&D 5th Edition version.
He is a sneaky little goblin, but not completely evil really. He lives in the Goblin Wood where he is the local Boglebo (akin to a warlock/shaman for goblins) and alchemist. He sometimes sells potions in the market. He has learned that ripping off a customer is a good deal in the short term, but to sell what he has at a fair price brings in more money in the long term. He is fond of urban life and would bring more money home if he didn't have such a taste for human alcohol.
He is often found with his toad familiar, "Lady Patricia Blackwell." A gift to him from his patron the Goblin King.
