Vorbis, Sat, May 2, 2009, 06:30 PM

I have alot of ideas for and Eberron campaign, and was wondering if anyone wanted to join, we'll use 3.5 with some house rules. We'll start at level three (allowing for some races with ECL), all races are available (I even use Savage Species), psionics encouraged. The story will begin in Rierdra, specifically Syrkarn.


Davi The Eccentric, Sat, May 2, 2009, 06:35 PM

Oh yes yes YES! I'm definitely in. Maybe a human wizard.


Roland Darkwatcher, Sat, May 2, 2009, 06:47 PM

Oooo I'm interested :D I'll try to think up something awesome soon...Human fighter!


OnyxTigress, Sat, May 2, 2009, 07:57 PM

I am interested as well. I think I want to play a dread necromancer.


Kobold Cleaver, Sat, May 2, 2009, 08:14 PM

Definitely in, if that's alright! How about a kender psion from the World Serpent Inn? XD Hey, you said every race was allowed! If not, then how about a phanaton druid? Or perhaps a kenku psion?


relientKitten, Sun, May 3, 2009, 03:39 AM

I would love to participate and could play whatever is needed to round out a group ($cleric ?). A warning that this would be my first PbP and real Eberron adventuring, though I've been studying it religiously for awhile.


Roland Darkwatcher, Sun, May 3, 2009, 04:36 PM

So what are our character creation rules?!


Max Hellspont, Sun, May 3, 2009, 04:58 PM

I would be interested as well, if you still have space. Perhaps a changeling or duergar, something psionic (psion, soulknife, or ardent [Complete Psionic]). -Regards!

Phanaton's maybe if i can find my copy of that Dragon. Kenku definetly that should be interesting.

Vorbis, Mon, May 4, 2009, 11:19 PM

Alrighty, the thread is up Here introduce your characters and include name, race, age, class, etc in a spoiler :)

Oh yes take you're time, i'm not trying to rush character creation :)


OnyxTigress, Tue, May 5, 2009, 11:10 AM

How do you want us to handle hit points and equipment?

OnyxTigress wrote: How do you want us to handle hit points and equipment? Hmm, yeah you cantell i haven't run PBP before i didn't even think about it. For HP we'll use the static progression, Full Die at odd levels, and half die at even levels Equipment, i'll say 1,350 that way you're below WBL and have to room to gain treasure once complete post here first let me preview the character

"Think of dragonmarks as a snag in the weave of the Draconic Prophecy. You can take that thread, and you can go forward and try to guess what will be woven next. Or, you can follow it back to the source, and now you can find everything that has ever occurred." Alright, I have repurposed the name of a previous character, so here I am. I'll have the equipment and background up later.

relientKitten, Tue, May 12, 2009, 01:31 AM

Hmm. Tough location for characters without 'kill me' signs on their heads. Religion is bad juju, as is magic and Kalashtar... how about a monk? Maybe a Dolgaunt with no class levels? >.> Human monk/fighter it is. Spoiler: Lian: Female Human Ftr1/Mnk2; CR 3; Medium Humanoid (human); HD 2d8+1d10+3; hp 25; Init +2; Spd 30 ft/x4; AC 14 (+2 dex, +2 misc), touch 14, flat-footed 12; Base Atk/Grapple +2/+8; Full Atk +4 One-handed (1d6+2;20/x2, Unarmed Strike), +2/+2 One-handed, Flurry of Blows (1d6+2;20/x2, Unarmed Strike), +6 One-handed (1d6+1d8+1d12+2;20/x2, Charge), +4 Thrown (1d4+2;20/x2, Dart(Thrown)); SA&SQ Armor Restriction, AC Bonus(Ex), Flurry of Blows(Ex), Evasion(Ex); SR 0; AL LG; SV Fort +6, Ref +5, Will +5; Str 14(+2), Dex 14(+2), Con 12(+1), Int 10(+0), Wis 14(+2), Cha 9(-1); Skills: Climb¹ +8, Jump¹ +10, Swim¹ +6, Tumble +10.

Racial Abilities: • Base land speed of 30 feet. • Bonus Feat: 1st level bonus feat • Favored Class: Any Class Abilities: • Armor Restriction: If wearing ANY armor or carrying a shield, you lose your Wisdom bonus to AC, fast movement and flurry of blows abilities. • AC Bonus(Ex): Add +2 AC; this bonus is not lost unless you are immobilized or helpless, wearing armor, carrying a shield or carrying a medium/heavy load. • Flurry of Blows(Ex): As a full attack, you may make one extra attack(s) All attacks made in the round suffer a –2 penalty. • Evasion(Ex): On a successful Reflex save against a magical attack, you take no damage. Story, story... I don't know so much about Riedra, just what's in the ECS, which is that noone comes in and noone goes out, so she must be a native. She's very protective of her family. I'd imagine that weapons are probably harder to come by for normal-enough folk, so she learned to defend herself without the use of them. As she has the most mettle among her family, she has the honor of doing the jobs noone else wants, like removing an entire family of snakes from under the outhouse or being the face of the family when the Inspired come to call (she's not very good at it, mostly nodding her head and grunting in comprehension/'agreement'). Because of all of her hard work, she enjoys her liquor each night (future Drunken Master, if the DM will allow) but never gets herself truly drunk (that she knows of). Bar fights seem to be all too common late at night, especially when the men start going after her with cat calls. When she realizes that physical intervention is required, she's got a mean kick (once she gets some momentum) that she hopes is enough to bring whoever is causing trouble down. Otherwise she tries to stun or grapple until they calm down or pass out. She tries to avoid lethal damage, only resorting to it when her attempts to subdue aren't working and the creature is not normal (memories of the cloaker in her closet still give her the heebie jeebies).

Then again, wouldn't the Inspired be chasing after us even if we weren't psionic? Actually the answer to both is no. Syrkarn is a free nation, that has remnants of the old Sarlonan culture but is made up of the descendants who fled Rierdra when the Inspired first arrived. Yes there are Rierdrans in Syrkarn but they are merely observers not aggressors.


Vorbis, Sat, May 16, 2009, 11:50 AM

Five Common Syrkarn Legends 1.Syrkarn is free. Though nominally a protecterate of Rierdra, Syrks owe no fealty to the Inspired Overlords. 2. In the past, greatness lingers. The eneko are descendants of ogres and half-giants, the latter believed to be descendants of Sarlonan humans and traveling Xen'Drik giants. 3. The yuan-ti once held this land in the iron grip of magic-and seek to do so again. 4. The giant based faith of the mongrel ogres (eneko) hide dark secrets. 5. Beneath the beauty of Syrkarn, dark things abide.


Khun-duhn, Sat, May 16, 2009, 01:35 PM

FINALLY got my character (mostly) done: Khun-duhn, duergar psychic rogue/fighter. (Hopefully, the psychic rogue class from the WotC Mind's Eye article [http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/psm/20040723b] is acceptable - if not, let me know and I will reconfigure). Still need to finish my equipment and background.


Rebis Ouroboros, Wed, May 20, 2009, 08:29 PM

Well, the problem isn't really with you. After all, you at least have enough to get through the bit of character interaction that I assume we will start with. I'm more thinking of the people that posted interest then never posted in this thread again. I'm looking at you, Roland Darkwatcher, OnyxTigress, reliantKitten, and Max Hellspont!


Here4daFreeSwag, Sat, Jun 6, 2009, 06:16 PM

Even though it's kinda late, if it's okay with Vorbis, the OP, may I be considered for an alternate spot/placeholder, just in case an extra player is needed? Am thinking of creating a maenad ardent with life/freedom/mental power mantle (or possibly even an eneko druid with some substitute powers).

By the way, if you take a look you'll see that Sorya Anali is OnyxTigress' alias, and that reliantKitten has their character posted in a spoiler. The only one we haven't seemed to hear from (that I can tell) is Roland Darkwatcher.

Khun-duhn, Tue, Jun 9, 2009, 07:44 AM

Decided not to go Fighter/Psychic Rogue, so I have re-envisioned Khun-duhn as a Psychic Warrior. See character sheet in profile.
