Vivian Swift, Tiefling "Pilgrim" of Pelor

[Character Status: Not yet played.]

Vivian Swift is a Tiefling that’s been more or less conscripted as an unwilling follower of Pelor. Her planned character is Divine Soul Sorcerer 4, with the remaining X levels in Celestial Warlock. Her patron, of all things, is actually Pelor!

Vivian’s backstory is a bit of "A Clockwork Orange" combined with some classic D&D Warlock flair. As a convicted pickpocket, she was given the choice between serving hard time or submitting herself to an experimental (and quite controversial) criminal rehabilitation "treatment." This procedure, conducted by an extremist sect of the Church of Pelor, placed a powerful geas on her. Now, she gets a little bit of a radiant "jolt" whenever she behaves badly. Vivian's a pretty rotten gal, but she can never seem to fully express that these days…

Her familiar, Grigori, is a nosy little Cherubim (a reskinned Pseudodragon) sent to keep tabs on her, making sure she doesn't misbehave.

Mechanically, her class level distribution gives her a little bit of damage, a little support, and a few fun scouting and utility abilities. Although she won’t reach her full potential until fairly late (level 10+), she should have enough variety to fit any niche the party needs. In addition, combining her class abilities with the Tiefling racial feat Flames of Phlegethos, she gets bonuses for casting all sorts of fire and radiant spells - thematically perfect for a... "follower" of Pelor.
