(Her connection to all that is sacred tends to be slightly erratic for some reason)
At the beginning of each arc, randomly choose two cleric domains you do not already possess.
Current Domains
tbd
Life/Death Domain
Each battle, the first time an ally near you becomes staggered, that ally immediately heals hit points equal to five times your level.
Invocation of Life/Death: One battle per arc, you and each of your allies can each separately add the escalation die to a single save you make. In addition, during this battle, you and your allies do not die from hit point damage when your negative hit points equal half your normal hit point total; instead, you die when your negative hit points equal your full hit point total.
Knowledge Domain
You gain 4 additional background points that must be used somehow in relation to knowledge or lore.
In addition, three times per arc you can reroll a skill check involving knowledge. Interpret the word “knowledge” as loosely as your GM allows.
Invocation of Knowledge/Lore: You must use this invocation during your first round of a battle. When you do, you get a quick glimpse of the battle’s future. Roll a d6; as a free action at any point after the escalation die equals the number you rolled, you can allow one of your allies to reroll a single attack roll with a +2 bonus thanks to your vision of this future.

1 copy of the Famous Adventurer's Correspondence Guide book with yellowed pages
A satchel of "essentials" for a noble lady on the road, gifted by her family, all of the contents being rather useless to an adventurer (feathered fan, uncomfortable but pretty shoes, etc.)
1 adventure-tier healing potion, which looks an awful lot like blood for some reason? Wait is this ok?
Backstory
Grandmother was one of those typical Daywalker half-vampire badasses who killed vamps while looking good in leather. You know the type. Once she was ready to settle down she found herself a nice man of noble lineage, gave him no chance to refuse marriage, and lived out the rest of her days in comfort and luxury. Most of the family doesn't take after her. But Primrose does.
I mean, she's not really a vampire, of course. She's just a nice young lady from a noble house in the Dragon Empire who wants to help people. She doesn't even have any special powers. Ok, so sometimes bats come flocking when she sings, like a goth Disney princess scene. And whenever she uses her Turn Undead spell she breaks out in a rash. She can hold her breath for disturbingly long, sees pretty well in the dark for a human, oh and then there's the fact that her reflection is not always exactly synchronized with her movements. But that doesn't mean anything! Pure coincidence, I swear!
Intelligent undead will most likely be aware of her status as technically having inherited a noble title in the Lich King's court. But etiquette should not be mistaken for obedience.
