1) Liral, a githzerai mage. She poses asa githyanki, to not get into camp drama with Lae'zel, since she doesn't want to miss the opportunity to maybe find a cure at the creche. It's my roleplaying reason to make her a) nicer than the normal gith and b) she lives in Faerun for a while, studying different magical cultures there , explaining, how your gith character is able to make history checks for Faerun stuff and generally is more knowledgeable about Faerun than Lae'zel. I posted her here, but I changed her looks a bit. I like the second vanilla female gith face, but she has too many scars for a scholar like Liral, but someone used that face in a mod without the scars and now I use that:
ANd I made Helia, the werewolf halfling bard - the scratched companion. My first playthrough was a halfling bard and I had a blast - halflinsg and gith are the best races, if you like to be a skill monkey: halflings never role 1 and gith have astral knowledge. The idea to make Helia came in a thread about small raced companions. SInce there is obviously no werewolf background, I made her a Durge, since a resisting DUrge and a good werewolf are mechanically similar:
