Coober is a recurring character in Unforgotten Realms Live campaigns. Often appearing in many different places and filling the niche of "shifty NPC character," Coober's goals may differ from the interests of the party.

Biography

Coober is a powerful Wizard whose skill with magic is only matched by his skills in cunning and misdirection. An NPC character originally from the Dank Dungeons and Dragons campaign, Coober made his first official URealms Live appearance in The Nuren Campaign with claims from the development team that they aim to make him the "Where's Waldo?" of UR Live [1], with the role of being "Technically always helpful, technically always not helpful."

History

Non-Canon

Dank Dungeons and Dragons

Coober's first appearance in Dank Dungeons and Dragons. He saved the party of adventurers from a group of multiplying bats after striking a deal with PauseUnpause. The deal was that the party would become Coober's slave, everyone was upset at Deadbones and started to plot to kill Coober. Deadbones alerted Coober that his friends are plotting to kill him, in response he turns everyone into frogs except Deadbones who disguises as a frog.

The Nuren Campaign

Coober appeared in The Nuren Campaign, where he met the Dwarven Siblings in Bopen's lair. He claimed to be there on Nisovin's orders and also a member of the George Clan, however it was obvious that he was not. Regardless, Coober offered them various magical items in return for Blinky enhancing his staff. The group debated and bickered long enough to expend Coober's patience causing him to teleport out of the dungeon without giving them the items.

Canon

The Tower of Ultimate Wizardry

Coober has a game-show-like setup on floor 10 in The Tower of Ultimate Wizardry. Here, he rewarded Trandon Barringster, Redmun Creil and Buford Flannagan with points for correctly answering various questions. He gave Redmun Crecil a "legendary item" for having the most points, though the item was simply a Spoon of Bent Realities, as Redmun lost one earlier in the tower. For having the second most amount of points, Coober gave Buford a Tambok Ticket.

After questioning the party members, Coober challenged them to a battle. If the party won, Coober would let them continue to the next floor. However, because Buford used Charm on Coober, Coober decided against a battle, and let the party continue to Floor 11.

Trivia

• Rob initially wanted Coober to be a character that would appear in every campaign, however that concept appeared to be shelved, as Coober has only appeared in the Nuren Campaign, though it is to be noted he has now technically appeared in the Sunswords Campaign.
• Coober was going to give the Dwarven Siblings cursed items if they had successfully traded with him.
• It is speculated that Coober may have been Rebooc in the Sunswords Campaign
• When Gwenyth Sunsword was thinking of a name for her child she, at first wanted to name him Coober, but quickly dismissed the idea stating that Coober is a character from one of Dave's novels.
