Just roll up a new character with all the same stats and a slightly different name, like everyone else.
Blackleaf’s identical twin whiteleaf is here to avenge her!
According to the story, if your character dies in-game, by that point you’re so addicted to the black magic that you ultimately can’t go on living without it.
Possible. Though I like thinking about other possibilities. My Tabaxi cleric has led me to produce so many backup characters - a Warlock, a Monk, a Barbarian and a Wizard, though that last one is still WIP, and I’m thinking a Paladin as the Cleric’s old mentor - I could solo run an entire spin-off.
P.S. the cleric is still around and kicking ass, I just did the backup characters for the lulz and for building up his background.
