I am glad that the game will take place!
Hello everyone .)
Hi! Me too.
When you set up your backgrounds, I'd like to know the answer to this question:
What did you do during the Last War?
How long ago was the Last War?
Yolo.
=)
Updated my background to include 'What he did in the Last War."
How long ago was the Last War?
998 YK is typically 2 years after the signing of the Treaty of Thronehold. It's four years after the mourning.

Okay, I take it its just you three.
We could PM those who haven’t replied yet?
I can. :) We can.
Apologies, the game had become "hidden" and I'd stopped seeing it.
Reporting, Sir Eltonj!

As you wish, now waiting on the other person I pmed.
Do you folks have anything you think would round out the party?
We have a tripper (been on a tripper kick)... and a rogue (always on a rogue kick)... and an oracle (honestly don't know much about them, except divine).
I was going to try a Warforged Soulknife (Nimble Blade) a try, perhaps an experimental "weapon X" type thing.
But, happy to change tact if you prefer something else... I also love being a character actor, filling a niche. I like the challenge.
Just realized you don't have a human, may go human.
If you have a class/role preference, please let me know.
Warforged are awesome, and a soullknife is always welcome. No other Psionic types yet so it fits a niche in the game we could use.
@Eltonj - when you say "Principally based in Aundair, the campaign centers around the Arcane Congress."
Exploring ideas, would a wizard PC help, hinder or be conflicted?
Our only full spellcaster is the Oracle so far. Can't hurt. Oracles are basically clerics without a god. (There is more to it than that, but it covers the basics).
Kalashtar-Psion or Wilder might be a better choice flavor-wise if you just want to blast things.
@Eltonj - when you say "Principally based in Aundair, the campaign centers around the Arcane Congress."

A wizard, sorcerer, or war mage would be welcome. Of course, the last needs to be converted first.
What about a female human wizard (can multi-class later, maybe) that is a liaison/attache for the Arcane Congress?
Glorified guy/gal Friday?
High Diplomacy.
Not overly optimized, but focused on flavor.
She's highly intelligent and attractive, but perhaps a bit cold unless specifically out to "handle people" in a sense. She turns on the charm, learned not innate.
Stationed at the Starpeaks Observatory, she's often looking up at the night sky, seeking answers. Knowledges reflect personal interest and job (liaison) requirements.
Since the Last War, she's been concerned, contemplating what... out there could have caused this? Perhaps she's just returned home from an assignment... or caught an earlier train.
How do all these forces come together and why do seemingly random things happen... truly random of some sort of grand design or pre-determined fate?

Good job on putting together this character. Oh, I'm discussing plans with our fifth player.
Can we open up the Gameplay thread? If we dot and erase it will put the game on our campaign tabs.
Yeah. I'll open up the Gameplay thread.
Thank you Sir!
May need some tweaks, but Astrid has dotted Gameplay and appears in Characters tab.
And absolutely, we can just use the regular "O" if typing her last name.

Okay, is everyone ready?
Or do you need more time?

I probably need to fully gear him, but I am ready
I’m good. Two wizards, a rogue, a monk, and an oracle? This should be interesting.

Yep. I'll begin the post tonight. :)
Astrid is more the library/observatory type, might not get mundane great until she knows where she's headed.
What did you do during the Last War?
Nothing remarkable. Himo's homeland did not take part in this war (correct me if I'm wrong), and he himself was more immersed in the history of his people than in events in the outside world. And now, in newly changed circumstances, when he URGENTLY needs feats to become Worthy, he goes to the very heart of the continent, where the war raged for a hundred years (a moment for an elf, however).
Most everyone was affected by the war on the continent, although some were only tangentially.

He's from Aerenal, not Khorvaire.
Yeah but I thought the elves had a territorial city or something in Khorvaire too. I could be wrong. Not a big deal.

Which elves? The Valenar Elves have ... Valenar.
I don't think the Aerani have a city on Khorvaire.
No idea. I have forgotten more than I remember about Eberron unfortunately.

You can. You could also be traveling.

Ah. Well, Real Life takes precedence over gaming. Say hi to your mom for us.
How big is House Ghallanda? What are the chances that Jhondar knows this "performer"?
How big is House Ghallanda? What are the chances that Jhondar knows this "performer"?
The house is a big family. The chances of knowing him (as a first cousin) are slim. He has a 5% chance of knowing him as a family member (my family, the Robbs, is small by comparison). Knowing him by reputation is a bigger chance -- about 15%.
Apparently, Astrid knows nothing and no one. LOL.
Use Magic Device... An object reading... something.

Could any of that help see/notice some pattern?
Also, were all kinda on the same side PC/NPCs... so I'm thinking not a great time for Diplomacy (to Persuade +12). Am I right?

I think this is true of the PCs, and includes Rom's subversiveness; I do NOT think it is true of the NPCs (yet) and neither would any TV sleuth type character; the person most likely to have gotten away with this is an expert abjuror.
