starting at level 2 using the focus/foible system, only classes off limits are the gunslinger, antipaladin and sythesist summoners. Also remember that while the evil alighnments are not allowed the gods and religions of eberron are more flexiable then normal(feel free to be a dark six worshiper if you want to). But before you decide on a concept examine the link Tenro (thank you) provided. As if you want to play a prestige class I will convert it into an archtype...within reason. For example the Thief of Life is clearly a class designed for rogues despite the cross class skill requirements. Also Tenro I've taken my own twist on the warforged to give you some options.
In this game the warforged have three subraces in addition to one in the link, this is to represent both the styles of warforged that House Cannith would have made in addition to the normal warforged and the other warforged...
** spoiler omitted **Xov you can use the dragonmark Abberant rules in the link to create your abberant dragonmark. You can use any of the spell options listed that are also in the pathfinder pfsrd.
Also everyone of you who is interested from now on I will be devising your campaign traits around your own stories rather then providng a list. I will be creating several racial archtpyes as...
It mentions at the start of this post that we are using to Focus/ Foible system, which means you pick one stat, your focus, get and 18 in that stat, pick your foible it gets an 8, the other 4 stats are rolled in order using 1d10+7. Racial modifiers apply after this is done.
hero points and you start off with 1 hero point each, plus since your a summoner you have my leave to use the first worlder archtype found in the d20srd(its a fey themed take on the summoner).
so initial ability scores after racial mods are
STR 8
DEX 15
CON 17
INT 12
WIS 12
CHA 20
and i would also like to give up hero points for a feat. this character is feat-starved, and additionally isnt very heroic. (i kept the hero point on Ebran because he is a bit of a swashbuckler so it made sense)
you may take a bonus feat instead of hero points everyone
Xov the dragonmark must be on you as well as the eidolan, in addition the eidolan can't gain a dragonmark. It can have the appearance of one but not the benefit.
Unmarked is my character submission. He's all complete except equipment, which i will do later, and backstory, which will largely hinge upon what you had in mind for a mindforged warforged with the psiforged body feat and a penchant for instilling fear in things.
my idea of mindforged is that they are curious, erudite (warforged style) and cunning. However they have a hard time with realizing that some things are better left buried in the past...
Could you send me a pm with more about the past for him?
nice.
well, im excited. I can never be in enough eberron or dark sun games.
for anyone who has not designed a character I will be starting the recruitment thread in three-five days (problems on my end may or may not inhibit me). If you want to join without competing in the recruitment thread this is the time to do it.
"Yes, of course we know how to cook Karrn food," he says with anger behind his voice.
Well, if the other emerald claw cultists he gets are anything like Essar, then he BETTER know how:)
recruitment starts tomorrow, all of you who have character concepts will take part with me in the selection process. Remember don't pull your punchs or your puns, this will be a week long recruitment.
sweet. so we have, so far:
Warforged Dread (debuffer)
Human? Summoner
am i missing anyone?

My dwarven inquisitor
the recruitment thread is up, It is called the Xen'drik expedition, I will be running it as GM Xen'Dragon. Browman, 137ben and Tenro you will be acting as my co-judges.
MonkeyGod basically already has my vote. I have been in a few games with him in the past and I haven't had any problems with him.
As for the others, I am not so sure. Not that they are bad, but no one sticks out in my mind among the others. One of them is making a partial cleric, which will be helpful in the party.
137ben, calling 137ben to the xendrik expedition thread!
what do you all think of the other applicants?
yeah i kinda agree. the focus of his story didnt bother me, i noticed it was more well-written.
so, looks like we have only 6 folks, 3 in the party and 3 applicants for the xendrik game.
so if we take 6, everyone gets in. if we take 5, we gotta vote one off the island.
also in another game i was in and keep up with from time to time, capt wombat was a little... combative with some other PCs. that, coupled with the slight difficulty i have reading his writing means he only gets half a vote from me (since he will be playing a healer)
the other two get full votes from me, but if we are taking 5 instead of 6, ill take that half vote back from capt wombat
Combined a ranger, druid and inquisitor should be able to handle healing. The group also looks like the type that fights and operates smarter not harder.
so it shall be monkey and the ranger assuming no one else arrives in time. The final selections begin tomorrow I'll put that up in the thread.
we are only taking two people, we have your vote 137ben in the draconic council. Tenro and Browman?
Okay, if we can take 6 people then I vote for everyone but capt wombat.
If we can only take 5 people then Arknight now has my vote, and tomtesserae does not.So my choices, in order, are:
1. tie between monkeygod and arknight
3. tomtesserae
4. capt wombat.
concur
I vote in order of
Arknight
Monkeygod
tomtesserae
capt wombat
Given that we have 2 extra people we should make sure that we let people know that if someone drops out a spot may open.
yep. including me haha
hah yeah... i assume that is a masterwork profession tool hahaha
Ebran's ready to go
Since it seems likely we'll level up soon (if not from these zombies, then probably in the next encounter or so), I thought I'd ask this now:
The alternate Favored Class Bonus for drow sorcerers, given in the advanced race guide, is:
Sorcerer: Add one spell known from the sorcerer spell list. This spell must have the curse, evil, or pain descriptor, and be at least one level below the highest spell level the sorcerer can cast.
Obviously, the restriction on descriptors assumes drow are all evil torturous villains, which is certainly not the case in Eberron.
Removing that restriction would make it identical to the human favored class bonus (which sort of makes sense since he was raised by humans, but IMHO is on the powerful end compared to other favored class bonuses).The elf sorcerer FCB doesn't work with the arcane bloodline...
Is there another favored class bonus I could use, or should I just stick with skill points?
(moving this here from the gameplay thread)
well, i can tell you in the real military (at least in the US), surgeons and clerics don't fulfill leadership roles outside of the scope of the actual conduct of medicine. so of course they would be in charge of a surgery or triage, but they would never be giving any sort of battle orders. there are notable exceptions such as Navy Corpsmen, but they are enlisted, definitely not commanders of any sort. MUCH closer to grunts.
