Dr. Heinrick Alphonse VanReichlich

New D&D character time! This time, it’s Dr. H.A. VanReichlich, a Wizard and Alchemist who specializes in the School of Necromancy. Known to most in his small town as “The Good Doctor”, he has dedicated his life to caring for the sick and unwell by whatever means necessary--even if it means getting his hands dirty going monster hunting and dungeon crawling to find the cure.

Any particular magic items you'd like for Heinrick or Wilder to have?

I haven’t really thought of magical items for Heinrick so much. I would like him to eventually get a magical focus with a bit more impact to it—and as he is a Blood Wizard, something along the lines of the blood locket from Critical Role Campaign 3 would be cool, though reskinned for Wizards instead.

Wilder, on the other hand, I have had quite a number of ideas for. His design actually includes a ripped cloak that looks like at one point was made from giant butterfly wings, and I’d like him to eventually get it fixed or get a new one, and for it to work like a Cloak of Elven kind, maybe even better. I’d also like him to get Boots of Haste—no, they’re not legal in 5E D&D but this is my character and I can give him what I want.

If Heinrich is a doctor, does that make him a cleric?

“Incorrect—while my dear friend Lorelei is a cleric to the Raven Queen, I myself…have never found myself pious enough to do more than bow my head in prayer to her, let alone call on her for miracles. Instead, I studied medicine, and used the methods provided me to tend to my patients. When such methods were not enough, however, I…turned to alternate means.”

“There is a lot of power in blood, after all—there is a reason it is one of the Four Humors that keeps us mortal beings moving. And, in the past, it had been harnessed by arcanists as a focus for great power and destruction…but what about for healing or protection? Surely, something so vital to the body’s care and wellbeing could be used to bolster it.”

“Thus began my studies into the art of Hemothurgy.”
