bump.
Hello! So I know PF first edition rules very well but I really have little clue about Eberron. :-)
But I’m willing to learn.
~
I watched a couple of YouTube videos and like the setting. :-)
The shifters are interesting. So I’m thinking about a Skinwalker Wereboar Bloodrager.
Is that ok?
Thanks
Average or rolled starting wealth?
I'm thinking a bard. Minor arcane casting, good skills. Aberrant Dragonmark for his first level feat -- burning hands.
Karsh comes from a quiet village in the Shadow Marches where his family were farmers, working paddies around their village. One day House Tharashk showed up looking for dragon shards. The villagers were ecstatic; they were all going to get rich. Karsh's father was less enthusiastic. He made enemies and Tharashk drained the biggest paddies to make the search easier anyway. They found little, gave the villagers less. It was a hard winter. The next spring Karsh's family and a few others resisted draining the patties. There was a confrontation. Karsh's aberrant dragonmark manifested in a gout of flame that badly burned the Tharashk headman.
Afterwards a rumor started about a young half-orc sorceror who was the ringleader of the resistance. Tharashk was looking for him. Karsh's father sent the boy away because he was too easy to target. He told him to keep his head down and go east.
I'll tie in a little with the Gatekeepers, maybe some priestly advice . Not sure 100%.
Karsh has walked from the Marches trough some of the Eldeen Reaches, and Droaam to reach Breland.
He's hungry, and footsore. He's got a little money, but he's seen how fast that can disappear so he's eking out what he has. Looking for work as a laborer, making the odd copper telling tales or playing his flute.
I'll dress the background up.

=================================================
SPECIAL ABILITIES
=================================================
Armored Casting (Ex) You can cast bard spells while wearing light armor and use a shield without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance.
Bardic Knowledge (Ex) You add +1 to all Knowledge checks and may make all Knowledge skill checks untrained.
Bardic Performance You are trained to use the Perform skill to create magical effects on those around you, including yourself if desired. You are trained to use the Perform skill to create magical effects on those around you, including yourself if desired. You can use this ability for 7 rounds per day. Each round, you can produce any one of the types of bardic performance that you have mastered. Starting a bardic performance is a standard action, but it can be maintained each round as a free action. Changing a bardic performance from one effect to another requires the bard to stop the previous performance and start a new one as a standard action. A bardic performance cannot be disrupted, but it ends immediately if you are killed, paralyzed, stunned, knocked unconscious, or otherwise prevented from taking a free action to maintain it each round. You cannot have more than one bardic performance in effect at one time.
Cantrips You have learned a number of cantrips, or 0-level spells. These spells are cast like any other spells, but they do not consume any slots and may be used again.
Countersong (Su) You can counter magic effects that depend on sound (but not spells that have verbal components). Each round of the countersong you make a Perform (keyboard, percussion, wind, string, or sing) skill check. Any creature within 30 feet (including yourself) that is affected by a sonic or language-dependent magical attack may use your Perform check result in place of its saving throw if, after the saving throw is rolled, the Perform check result proves to be higher. If a creature within range of the countersong is already under the effect of a noninstantaneous sonic or language-dependent magical attack, it gains another saving throw against the effect each round it hears the countersong, but it must use your Perform skill check result for the save. Countersong does not work on effects that don't allow saves. Countersong relies on audible components.
Darkvision (Ex) Range 60 ft.; Darkvision is the extraordinary ability to see with no light source at all, out to a range specified for the creature. Darkvision is black and white only (colors cannot be discerned). It does not allow characters to see anything that they could not see otherwise-invisible objects are still invisible, and illusions are still visible as what they seem to be. Likewise, darkvision subjects a creature to gaze attacks normally. The presence of light does not spoil darkvision.
Distraction (Su) You can use your performance to counter magic effects that depend on sight. Each round of the distraction, make a Perform (act, comedy, dance, or oratory) skill check. Any creature within 30 feet (including yourself) that is affected by an illusion (pattern) or illusion (figment) magical attack may use your Perform check result in place of its saving throw if, after the saving throw is rolled, the Perform skill check proves to be higher. If a creature within range of the distraction is already under the effect of a noninstantaneous illusion (pattern) or illusion (figment) magical attack, it gains another saving throw against the effect each round it sees the distraction, but it must use your Perform skill check result for the save. Distraction does not work on effects that don't allow saves. Distraction relies on visual components.
Fascinate (Su) You can use your performance to cause up to 1 creatures to become fascinated with you. Each creature to be fascinated must be within 90 feet, able to see and hear you, and capable of paying attention to you. You must also be able to see the creatures affected. The distraction of a nearby combat or other dangers prevents this ability from working. Each creature within range receives a Will save (DC 13) to negate the effect. If a creature's saving throw succeeds, you cannot attempt to fascinate that creature again for 24 hours. If its saving throw fails, the creature sits quietly and observes your performance for as long as you continue to maintain it. While fascinated, a target takes a -4 penalty on all skill checks made as reactions, such as Perception checks. Any potential threat to the target allows the target to make a new saving throw against the effect. Any obvious threat, such as someone drawing a weapon, casting a spell, or aiming a weapon at the target, automatically breaks the effect. Fascinate is an enchantment (compulsion), mind-affecting ability. Fascinate relies on audible and visual components in order to function.
Inspire Courage (Su) You can use your performance to inspire courage in your allies (including yourself), bolstering them against fear and improving their combat abilities. To be affected, an ally must be able to perceive your performance. An affected ally receives a +1 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +1 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls. Inspire courage is a mind-affecting ability. Inspire courage can use audible or visual components. The bard must choose which component to use when starting his performance.
Intimidating (Ex) Half-orc receive a +2 racial bonus on Intimidate skill checks due to their fearsome nature.
No Racial Subtype You have chosen no racial subtype.
Orc Blood (Ex) Half-orc count as both humans and orcs for any effect related to race.
Orc Ferocity (Ex) 1/day, when a half-orc is brought below 0 hit points, but not killed, he can fight on for one more round as if disabled. At the end of his next turn, unless brought to above 0 hit points, he immediately falls unconscious and begins dying.
Outcast Driven from town after town because of your heritage, you have become adept at living apart from others. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Survival skill checks, and Survival is always a class skill for you.
River Rat (marsh or river) You learned to swim right after you learned to walk. As a youth, a gang of river pirates put you to work swimming in nighttime rivers and canals with a dagger in your teeth so you could sever the anchor ropes of merchant vessels. You gain a +1 trait bonus on damage dealt with a dagger and a +1 trait bonus on Swim checks. Swim is always a class skill for you.
Weapon Familiarity (Ex) Half-orcs are proficient with greataxes and falchions, and treat any weapon with the word "orc" in its name as a martial weapon.

Shifters and skinwalkers are basically the same concept. But they are based on different mechanics (obviously). So that will be fine. Your character's name should be rustic sounding, though.
Average or rolled starting wealth?
EltonJ, an idea is starting to come together.
I like what I read so far.
If you're still looking for interest, I'm definitely interested.

noral | Usgar | Shifter Bloodrager | Amnesiac Shifter following the Traveler that seeks adventure to jumpstart his memory
Hello GM, due to the fact that I am not really well versed with the campaign setting, I thought that it is reasonable to assume that my character, Usgar, was hit by a magical force during a storm that somehow erased his memory. This way I can genuinely learn about the campaign setting together with the other characters during the development of our adventures.
Usgar lived in the Eldeen Reaches and was part of a small shifter community of Gorebrutes, those shifters which are loud and aggressive even for their kind. These shifters even are more likely to threaten violence than most other shifter individuals … maybe that is because of their connection to the Wereboars of the past.
Nobody knows what exactly caused the incident, but the amnesia that Usgar suffered from the magical force that hit him, gave Usgar the powers associated with his bloodline and forced him to leave his home in the Eldeen Reaches because he had to escape the unbearable environment where everyone believed to know Usgar although he did not know himself anymore.
Usgar still feels an anger inside of him because the loss of his memories and that is sometimes hard to control but that is also paired with an uncontrollable lust to travel and seek something beyond his reach.
But Usgar also was clearly advised that beyond his community he has to control himself because the past crusade of the silver flame makes it especially important for him to not constantly escalate situations so that that those that are still feeling uneasy among shifters don’t continue the prosecution of his race instead of chasing real lycanthropes.
He has now recently left his home and although he has no clue about religion, something inside of him feels that the Traveler is pushing him onwards … where to l he does not know but he remains ready for the journey yet to come!
I will be submitting a Changling Psion with Disable Device and Perception. I won't have Trapfinding specifically, but I should be able to make do.
There is a prestige class from Complete Adventurer called the Shadowmind. You might find it handy.

If you change your origin village from the Eldeen Reaches to the Mournland, we can say your amnesia was caused by the Mourning.
Totally makes sense GM! ;)
Mournland it is!

Alright. I'll let you submit a character for consideration. I think I'll have to choose after you submitted as to who is going to be on the team. :)

Here you go:
Kaine is a man with no memory. He was found on the beach by Flint Keep among some scattered wreckage of a ship about two months ago. No one else was found there. The only reason he "knows" his name is because it was inscribed on the scabbard of the sword he carried. What little salvage there was from the wreckage gave him enough funds to allow him to live in Sharn, but those funds are mostly depleted now.
The priests of Boldrei took an interst in his case at first, but they had no success in unlocking his memories. They believe the loss is not caused by injury. Since then Kaine has resigned himself to his condition, looking for work wherever he could find it. The one thing he excels at is swordsmanship. So most of the work so far has been as a bodyguard or security.
Kaine is a hard person to like. His lack of memory makes him somewhat unsettling. In addition, his fighting style wins no friends as he spends the fight insulting his opponents. Lately, he has been having flashes of what he thinks may be memories. He is hoping for something to trigger them further.

Okay, that's seven. The adventure is written for four players, so the encounters will have to be adjusted for six. Yep, I'm taking six players and their characters, so some one is going to get the axe.
and if I may, I will remove that choice.
Galahad & Noral are amazing GMs/Players and I wouldn't want them to be axed. Jacen was meant to provide a character with a unique focus on the flight magic of Sharn which would also dovetail with the mystery & politics of having a Dragonmark in the group: that said, I would be more than happy to have him guest-star at some point in flow of events.
Best to all!

You are very kind and selfless!! Thanks for everything!
I’ll shoot you a message as soon as another game I’m in starts a new adventure so that you can join Evindyll, the Paladin! :-D
Hi everyone.
We have room for one more player to join in the campaign at a critical juncture. That is, the adventure from Sharn to the Mournland (in the ruins of Whitehearth.) Current players are: ‘Eκάτη, Philo Pharynx, Joseph Martin 681, and therealtom.
We are using:
* Pathfinder 1e (Core Rulebook and Advanced Player's Guide -- and Blood of the Moon for Shifter/Skinwalker characters)
* Eberron Campaign Setting (3e -- link here)
* Races of Eberron (for background -- link here)
* Ultimate Psionics (for Kalashtar and other psionic characters).
You can submit what you like. There is no contest. The adventure into the Mournland will take at least a year (I ran the same adventure for a live group on roll20, so I'm expecting a different result from these players here). I'll accept any new characters, but they must be Eberron themed. So read the ECS and Races of Eberron for ideas (and if you want to do Racial Substitution Levels for your character, you definitely can).
Characters submitted should be 2nd Level to be equal with the group. If you have time to play in (another) play-by-post campaign -- feel free to submit!

Yes, but I can wait in the wings (pun intended) to play Jacen, and you could (should) take Ouachitonian.
Alternatively, the characters could be taken as a pair - Jacen could be a Full Transmuter working to become a SkyMage/DragonMark Heir and PyrosForged (Ouachitonian) could be a Warforged former servant of House Orien who was being trained in wizardry by Jacen. He could be a multi-classed Mage or something.
Just a thought.
Yes, it's a good thought.

There are no changes needed from the submission in November :)Jacen came to Sharn to study flight magic and his dragonmark. He will become a Dragonmark Heir, and then a Sharn SkyMage. His dream is nothing less than casting Overland Flight with a 24hr duration.
** spoiler omitted **...
Yes, but I can wait in the wings (pun intended) to play Jacen, and you could (should) take Ouachitonian.
Alternatively, the characters could be taken as a pair - Jacen could be a Full Transmuter working to become a SkyMage/DragonMark Heir and PyrosForged (Ouachitonian) could be a Warforged former servant of House Orien who was being trained in wizardry by Jacen. He could be a multi-classed Mage or something.
Just a thought.
If we can both get in, I'd prefer being, like, your player's hired bodyguard. Could be a Magus or Bloodrager if the GM would still prefer I have some Arcane casting, But I'm also happy to let you cover the arcane and go more martial.

That could work.
So, are we in? Should we finish building and drop into discussion, or do you want more from us here?

I will wait to see what Elton has to say. I am happy to recreate Jacen as an Aeromancer or also as a Sorcerer. Maybe PyrosForged could be a magus or something, with a similar bloodline (or whatever a bloodrager is)
Yes, you're in. I'll have to adjust the encounters, but it would work. Finish building and show me your characters in discussion.
This might be a little bit strange, but could I play an Aegis? I’m thinking specifically of the Aberrant archetype. It might play similarly to Escher, we’d both be Melee fighting types, but the fluff is very different: where he’s augmenting himself with ectoplasm, my character would be pulling out a tool kit and, like, welding on spikes, or bolting on an extra pair of arms, etc. I really like the idea of a warforged constantly tweaking and modifying his configuration as he goes (and gains levels). It may not play that similarly, though, given that he’s using Powerful build and a Large sword, and I’d be leaning more into my built-in weapons (slam, unarmed strike, the stinger and tentacles an Aegis can add, I think there’s a feat to grant a warforged a bite attack, etc. lots of smaller attacks.) If me being a second Aegis is a bit too much, I can do something somewhat similar with the Constructed Pugilist Brawler archetype, though that’ll play closer to a monk, relying mostly on flurrying with my construct arm.
I see.
Well, it's in Ultimate Psionics, page 261, and I'm looking at it now. If you want to play an aberrant aegis, there are some things you can take into account. Like if you are playing a psi-forged or not. If you are not playing a psi-forged (Warforged bristling with crystals and psionic potential) -- you can play a regular warforged with psionic potential.
Perhaps you were commissioned by a Kalashtar. Or any other possibilities. It's endless on how you want your character to look like as well as his background. I'm not adverse to you playing an aegis the way you want to.
I went in a slightly different direction with him this time ... he's a full sorcerer.

Alrighty. Take all the time you need.
Alright, Evindyll, he looks okay to me. Are you sure you don't want magic missile or some other combat spell?
