Caullum Slowweaver [RPG]

With Temeris turned to stone by a nefarious basilisk, I needed a new character for the Forgotten Realms campaign I've been playing in for a while. Since the party spent several sessions earlier in the campaign in and around a Chitine city in the Underdark, I decided that making my new PC a native of that city would be an organic way to tie in that part of the story. Chitine are spider-like creatures with four arms and two legs, and I've given the PC, Caullum Slowweaver, a very alien personality and sense of morality. His background premise is that he is one of the rebel general's many sons and has been sent to join the party as a means of cementing the alliance between the general and the party. I've only played him in one session so far, and while not as fun as Temeris, I think he has a chance of developing into a solid character.
