IDENTITY

Name

Brunna

Species

Troll in fiction; exact playable homebrew species not finalized.

Pronouns

she/her.

Class identity

Barbarian, planned Berserker.

Alignment

Not explicitly established.

World

The Cleric Joined the Wrong Party continuity.

CORE CONCEPT

The troll muscle of the criminal trio

physically huge, direct, hard to kill, and uncomplicated in what she wants. Her practical restraint can be extremely literal: wanting one thing does not create a reason to take five.

PERSONALITY

Established direction

• Direct rather than philosophically moralizing.
• Self-interested member of a measured criminal group.
• The trio's restraint is practical, not necessarily principled.

Proposed, not confirmed

• Brunna may be the member who wanted the stolen pig.
• Her relationship to the pig may be affectionate rather than culinary.
• "Simple rather than stupid" was proposed as a characterization target.

VOICE

No canonical individualized dialogue beyond the generic troll role in the source transcript.
Proposed development voice:
- Short, direct answers.
- Concrete wants.
Not written story canon.

APPEARANCE

Source image observations

• Very tall, broad, muscular gray-skinned woman.
• Black/dark hair.
• Large tusks.
• Pointed ears.
• Fur and rugged leather/tribal-style clothing.
• Holds a pink pig carefully against her chest.
• Appears physically gentle with the animal despite imposing size.

SIGNATURE DETAILS

• The pig is visually associated with Brunna in the supplied image.
• Huge physical presence.
• Troll identity is intended literally in the fiction if homebrew is allowed.

Development plan

• Not yet fully developed. Exact troll species mechanics remain open.

RULESET

D&D 5.5e / 2024 Barbarian.
Species status: Homebrew intended if the troll identity is taken literally.

CURRENT BUILD SKELETON

Species

Troll (homebrew direction, exact traits unresolved).

Class

Barbarian.

Subclass

Path of the Berserker.

Primary ability

Strength expected; exact score not established.

Background

Not established.

HOME BREW DIRECTION DISCUSSED

The user preferred a simple homebrew based on an official chassis rather than elaborate custom rules.
A Goliath-like base was proposed, replacing ancestry abilities with troll-feeling traits.

Proposed traits (NOT fully confirmed)

- Medium size.
- 30-foot speed.
- Darkvision.
- Powerful Build-like physicality.
- Limited self-healing/regeneration rather than monster-style every-round regeneration.
- Poison resilience.
- Long-limbed/reach expression.
Balance warning:
Passive monster Troll regeneration every round was explicitly avoided as too strong for a simple PC species.

COMBAT ROLE

Front-line durability, Strength, physical force.
Berserker was selected because the concept benefits from a direct Barbarian identity rather than a complicated subclass twist.

EQUIPMENT

Not established mechanically.
Visual source shows rugged leathers/furs and the pig.

MISSING / CHOICE REQUIRED

• Final homebrew Troll species text.
• Ability scores.
• Background.
• Weapons/masteries.
• Feats/ASIs.
• Armor/AC setup.
• Level-by-level progression.

RELATIONSHIPS

Nix:
- Companion; likely handles infiltration while Brunna handles force.
Veyra:
- Companion; magical/ranged complement.

DEVELOPMENT

Not yet fully developed.
Exact troll species mechanics remain open.

Context

CONTINUITY

The Cleric Joined the Wrong Party

Role

Troll barbarian / muscle of the criminal trio.

Companions

Nix, Veyra, Sister Elira Venn.

SOURCE ACTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TROLL ROLE

• A troll is one of the three criminal companions.
• In the crypt sequence, the troll takes boots.
• In the supplied image, the troll visually holds the stolen pig.

CURRENT INTERPRETATION

Brunna is not assigned a secret righteous purpose. She is part of a group that steals and loots for its own gain but generally avoids pointless escalation.

UNRESOLVED

The discussion proposed that Brunna specifically wanted the pig, but this was not explicitly confirmed by the user.

Reference roles, not interchangeable portraits

Group reference supplied with the song. Crops isolate each character without inventing new art. Publishing-channel attribution does not establish who painted this image.

1. BRUNNA'S PLAYABLE SPECIES

Current fiction

Troll.

Option A

Literal homebrew Troll species.

Option B

Official Goliath mechanics cosmetically reflavored as a troll.

Status

User expressed preference for light homebrew if taking the image literally, but exact homebrew traits are not finalized.

Question

Finalize a Troll species, or keep official Goliath mechanics?

4. BRUNNA AND THE PIG

Version A

Brunna wanted the pig and the party stole exactly one because that is what she wanted.

Version B

Another party member wanted it; source does not specify.

Status

Brunna-wanted-it was proposed and fits the image, but not explicitly confirmed.

Question

Is the pig Brunna's choice/companion?

8. GOBLIN PRONOUN IN SOURCE TRANSCRIPT

The supplied transcript contains both feminine group framing and a line transcribed as "the goblin said he took the rings" / "He gave her spectacles."
Current character design: Nix is a woman, consistent with the visible image and the user's statement that all four look like women.
Status: Source transcript wording retained as evidence; current character pronouns are she/her.
Question: None required unless the source transcript itself should be normalized in a future story adaptation.

9. KING ROBBERY MOTIVE

Rejected/overreaching interpretation

the king must be a tyrant or the robbery must have a righteous justification.

Current direction

the king's wealth is an available, measured income source at that stage; no explicit moral justification is required.

Status

Current.

Rules review boundary

Core 2024 class tables and origins were checked on 3 October 2026. Automatic grants are separated from choices. Future levels do not inherit starting statistics. Warrior of Mercy detailed text and the legacy College of Creation/MotM Goblin full entries still require accessible publisher verification; exported descriptions are retained as source-recorded, not a fresh certification. Narrative campaign levels are unknown.

LATEST IDENTIFIABLE DECISIONS

• Names: Sister Elira Venn, Nix, Brunna, Veyra.
• Nix: Goblin Thief Rogue.
• Brunna: Troll Berserker Barbarian.
• Veyra: Lesser Fiend / Fiend Patron Warlock; Great Old One direction rejected.
• Elira: Human Life Cleric, with LG -> NG -> CG narrative alignment development.
• Trio's criminality: self-interested and real, not morally disguised.
• Their distinguishing virtue is practical restraint/risk assessment rather than explicit moral motivation.
• King robbery: measured income opportunity, not necessarily righteous redistribution.
• Literal Troll and Lesser Fiend species may use light homebrew; exact traits still unresolved.

SUPERSEDED MATERIAL

• Veyra as Fighter: superseded.
• Veyra as Bard: considered but superseded by Warlock.
• Veyra as Great Old One Warlock: explicitly rejected as wrong-feeling/mind-focused.
• Framing the trio as strongly principled criminals with explicit moral limits: corrected. Their restraint is primarily practical.
• Framing the king robbery as requiring a moral justification: corrected.
