Are you going to be using any of the various subsystems? Downtime, romance, contacts, reputation, etc?
Shadow, I've not played Eberron in quite a while, but I remember really enjoying the Dragonmarks. I also love the Enlightened Fist PrC.
Do you think a True Dragonmarked member of the House Deneith with Least True Dragonmark and DragonMark Fist would be playable in your setting? I was thinking of a monk/wizard going into the Enlightened Fist, if it was acceptable.
Can you send me a link to the DragonMark Fist, not familiar with it.
Are you going to be using any of the various subsystems? Downtime, romance, contacts, reputation, etc?
I might. I have house rules for some of those systems that were based on the Storyteller System for my table top D&D game. I would not build a submission assuming they will be incorporated into this campaign.
Thanks Jesse!
Here ya go, happened to have this handy while building my character.
Approved.
The term I will be using is Hero Point not action point but approved all the same.
Would it be psionic or psychic magic?
Also pathfinder has the equivelent of the lycanthropes races (shifters?) would it be okay to use those races?
DM, here is Gerald's future Enlightened Fist submission. Everything should be in the profile. The profile is ugly, but I can spoiler most of the text easily. I left it unspoilered for your consideration.
Let me know if you have any questions or comments.
Would it be psionic or psychic magic?
Psionic.
Also pathfinder has the equivelent of the lycanthropes races (shifters?) would it be okay to use those races?
Yes Shifter's are absolutely ok.
FY I will not be reviewing any submissions until the date the submissions close so y=that will give anyone who submitted time to review or revise as they like until the close of the Recruitment period.
Thank you for the submissions so far!
Would you have room for a drug addicted Empty Vessel Mind blade? He accidently knows his true nature of the Quori. He escapes both in mind and body. He is on the run and uses drugs to mask the psychic pain of losing his faith, and protecting him from location and possession by the Quori. He would have several severe and comical personality quirks
Sorry missed this one.
Can you send me a link for the Empty Vessel? I know this is from Sarlona but don't know the specifics...
Working on something, half elf thundercaller bard of house lyrandar? Might change the archetype but I like house Lyrandar.
I will allow it. I assume you would take some sort of addiction as a Drawback?
Follow-up question: Are you using the Background Skills optional rules?
Good question, yes I like that optional feature.
Will campaign start at standard year of 998 YK?
Will campaign start at standard year of 998 YK?
Yes.
Testing the waters a bit, build is going through various steps and going back to the drawing board. Having a lot of fun, tinkered with bard, then a galvanic saboteur/trapper ranger. Gunslinger yes or no? Or firearms in general? If no, would an exception be made for the Bolt Ace archetype?
I'll allow the Gunslinger. Guns, the new Cannith innovation! Thus guns will be I believe the term is scarce as they have just been invented.
This is Oceanshieldwolf's submission, Haqueton, Warforged Vigilante (Stalker).

First there was the rhythm - the vibrations of start and...stop. Start and... stop. Start and... stop. For what seemed an ageless time. Time itself grew, from nothing to a value, an accretion, with only its previous absence to judge by diametric opposition - growth. Then came sensations. Warmth. All over, and sometimes great heat. And outside the vibrations had another name - sound. Of loud and quiet, high and low. Voices, whispers, and in time, a whisper.
"Vol".
Light entered, and vision. Vision of space and enclosure. Grey and muted red. Figures that tore themselves away from the background and moved in ungainly ways, with spindly appendages, though covered. These vision-beings were the "Instructors". The Instructors had little time, they said, and began the litanies. Of which there seemed little logic or purpose to. But it listened, and learned hungrily.
Then bright fire, and noise. Uneven vibrations, and a new sense in the Instructor's eyes. Fear. A time of great upheaval followed, great chaos marked by panick'd flight from the enclosure. And fret and anxiousness descended, as the City of Sharn cascaded from a doorway - beautiful and corroded, marvellous and corrupt City of Spires.
Events and objects, persons and ideas were found. A kind man. A blacksmith's shop. A Place. A Name.
Haqueton.
But Haqueton was not alone. For inside Haqueton lives The Other. And The Other whispers mad cradlings of darkest imagination, churning wheedlings and maddening elucidations. Of Blood. And Vol.
Haqueton is unsure of where he came from, or what he was purposed for. He is adamant that he is "broken" somehow, but daren't share this distressing secret with any other sentient being. For the now, Haqueton works faithfully at the Plateworks, a foundry located in a better, though still industrial quarter of Sharn, far removed from the unruly district he seems to remember from his first, fugitive hours in the City.
As to The Other, he finds it addictive to dress in rags, hiding his warforged nature and to prowl the streets. Why he does this, he does not know, or what The Other wishes is also unknown. For now, during the day Haqueton polishes and mends, lifts and serves.
At night, The Other hunts.
*****
I don't really know what most of it means, but I think you can make something of it SS. I'm looking to develop the "Hero" persona as we go - all I know is that it's a Stalker, and it does like to hunt. Once I've chosen a name I'' create a separate alias for that persona.
Still have Feats, Traits and Equipment to choose.
Here is my entry for Ama Freewater, Water Wizard.
Her father was the groundskeeper for one of the more permissive notables in the employ of House Lyrandar, so she had a fair exposure to many of the things that make the world work, and it was often that she saw things that made her come to the above conclusion. With Aundair bordered by Bay and Lake, she was privy to many a trip that saw either, and she became enamored of the blue expanse, that quality scent in the air, and her elation was great when the heavy rains of the season came, dancing in the deluges. There was a calling in there somewhere, she recognized, but rationalized it away since she had been taught to attempt to understand as much as she could before proceeding along the path she chose.
Her pursuits led her towards that which had most enamored her: Water. From the salt and wrack of the Bay to the uses and necessities that they depended on, she studied the water. When the spark of magic was something more understood than felt, she took to it with a will, and applied it to what she was already doing: Seeking the secrets of Water. That did not mean that she was a model student, however. It was only due to the nature of her arcane education that they did not begrudge her fondness of swimming. If she could not be found, one would just need to look to the nearest body of water or river to find her. As a child, her father often heard some quiet speculation about her heritage, many accusing in jest of a dalliance with an undine.
As befitting her heritage as a half-elf, Ama's dark hair is long, often held loose to her waist when she was not studying, eyes the color of an oncoming storm, turned towards a book when she was not writing with smooth movements, the habit of forethought permeating almost everything that she did. Calm and even-tempered, she rarely lost her temper, often seeing no point in doing so, but remembering the slight. Her physique was slim and surprisingly fit, most likely due to her frequent indulgence in her hobby, swimming. Correspondingly, her skin was the tan of someone who was no stranger to the sun.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
-Arcane Bond (Su) You have selected to establish a powerful arcane bond with an object. Bonded Object: School Ring
-(T)Classically Schooled: Your apprenticeship or early education was particularly focused on the direct application of magic. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Spellcraft checks, and Spellcraft is always a class skill for you.
-Cold Blast (Su) As a standard action, you can unleash a blast of freezing cold. This blast deals 1d6+0 points of cold damage to all creatures within 5 feet of you and staggers them for 1 round. A successful Reflex save DC 13 negates the staggered effect and halves the damage. You can use this ability 6 times per day.
-(T)Fencer You trained long hours as a youth with blades, either taking lessons in the genteel art of fencing from tutors paid for by your parents or by being taken under the wing of a disenfranchised fencer who may have turned to a life of crime. You gain a +1 trait bonus on attacks of opportunity made with daggers, swords, and similar bladed weapons.
Fire Opposition School: You have chosen fire spells as an opposition school. Preparing a fire spell takes up two spell slots of the same level. You take a -4 penalty on any skill checks made when crafting a magic item that has a fire spell as a prerequisite.
Water School: The water elementalist draws magic from the ocean depths. His power is fluid as well, crushing foes in mighty waves or wearing them down through timeless erosion.
Water Supremacy (Su): You gain a +2 enhancement bonus on Swim skill checks. In addition, you can hold your breath for 44 rounds before you must start making checks to avoid drowning. At 10th level, you gain a swim speed equal to your base speed. At 20th level, whenever you make a Swim skill check, assume the roll resulted in a natural 20.

It's a work in progress, a musket master. Not going for rapid shot shenanigans, going for one shot per round and my houses stuff.
I'll have time this weekend to crunch a character
Sounds good!
I'm going to try and get the PDF of Ultimate Intrigue this weekend.
While the Vigilante seems cool, I'm not positive that's the route I wanna take. I have a couple other ideas in mind, so we'll see.

I have not read through it in depth but it has a LOT of Archtypes as well.
Hopefully this weekend I will get a chance to review the sub-rules you mentioned MG and will update the thread as to which, if any, I will use.
There's apparently a fair amount(a lot?) in UI from the reviews I read.
They aren't important to any of my concepts, but since you're running a game in Sharn, some of them might be applicable.
Based on interest I expect I would see at least another 4-7 submissions.
Working on build/crunch for a few different concepts; I should have a submission up by the end of the weekend.
Please see my submission for Pink Eye the minotaur cleric of beasts.
Please see character for crunch, working on background
Slowly he began to question his beliefs. He did not dare speak it aloud to anyone for fear of execution, like so many heretics before him. Little did he know his father harbored similar tendencies. Two days after his 17th birthday, Enforcers raided the bar, and took his father away. He had heard that the Enforcers had found forbidden writings, not that they needed an excuse or even proof.
His father was publicly executed by being roasted to death inside a brass bull. Hours of screaming followed by stone silence was Liberte's last memory of his father. It wasn't until later that Liberte' had learned his Mother had turned him in. She had a strange air of satisfaction regarding her husbands death. A man she supposedly loved and cherished for over 20 years.
Liberte' ran that very night, fueled by alcohol and mushrooms. Liberte' never stopped running, while keeping his mind cloaked with hallucinogens.
Character submission for goodwicki - human life oracle with wasting curse, see profile for full details. Minor bits still need to be completed (missing one trait, final wardrobe choice, etc.) but concept and execution should be pretty clear.
Can change name if the "bemourned" appellation is annoying. I just like the name Carduus for this character, but it's already taken - I don't picture him going around referring to himself as "the Bemourned" or anything. Could shorten to just Cardus.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Consider Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen, the First of Her Name Queen of Meereen, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Protector of the Realm, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains, and Mother of Dragons is how she refers to herself.
In comparison, Carduus the Bemoaned rolls right off the tongue no? :-)
