Champion Update: Deekin

A former member of the Dripping Fang clan, Deekin was once a Skald for a White Dragon named Tymofarrar. Once he was released from Tymofarrar's service, he set out to become the most amazing storyteller in all of Faerûn. He yearns to sing and tell stories of heroic deeds, but his songs often devolve into 'tales' of the doom that is coming to him or his companions.

The Story of Doom continues for Deekin Scalesinger.

The kobold whose life was doomed to fail has received a significant rework, modernizing his design, tweaking the numbers, and introducing some new abilities. It's time to take the Story of Doom to even greater heights!
