Checking to see who is interested in a short campaign covering the Against the Slave Lords series. Set in Eberron. Basically slave lords are operating out of Darguun.

f. We will use the following Player Companions: Black Markets (there's a black market in every one of the five nations, not just Darguun.), Adventurer's Armory, Armor Master's Handbook, Blood of the Moon (in case you want to create a Shifter and want to use PF rules), Blood of Angels, Blood of Fiends and Cohorts and Companions.

Character Race: PF1 Core Races; Eberron Races: Changeling, Kalashtar, Shifter, and Warforged; Other races: Aasimar, Tiefling, Goblin, Hobgoblin, Bugbear, Orc. (note, it's not encouraged to take these races). Note, only the Core Races have dragonmarks.

Wealth: 4th level Wealth.
Hero Points: Eberron uses Action Points, but we will be using Hero Points in place of Action Points. Note that the two action point feats will modify how you use Hero points.
Alignment: Try to choose good or neutral alignments for this short campaign.
Okay, I think that is it.
EDIT: if I don't get many interested in this game, I can set up a Roll20 Campaign for this game.
For a short game, I'd like to submit my fighter warforged
Gyro Linebreaker.
Would large characters be okay?

No. I don't think so. Although it would be interesting to play a goliath-like character.
so no large then, 4th level warforged then :)
I'm thinking of a Kalashtar that brings forth a bit of quori form.
Either synthesist summoner or aberrant aegis.

Good thoughts, for both of them.
I'm interested. Been in the occasional Eberron game before, but they usually don't seem to last. Happy to try again.
Play a Psion yes please,
They will be an Inspired Empty Vessel.

@EltonJ is this just an interest check, or should we consider this post as a recruitment itself? I plan to submit the concept I shared with you via message, but don't know if I should do here or wait... But consider me interested and throwing my hat at the ring with the soulknife :)
@Panic that's a powerful race!

Interested. I've always liked Eberron, but never got to play an Artificer, so I'd like to submit one. I'm thinking Human, Deneith mark. Always fun to have at least one Dragonmarked character in the party.
I guess the main question for an Artificer build is whether the craft reserves from pre-4th level are available for use to craft scrolls etc?
That's probably why (past craft reserves) so many other DMs banned the Artificer from their games. No, you don't. The craft reserves from past levels don't carry over. Not in this game.

It's just an interest check, for right now. By habit I do list detailed requirements so that people don't ask too many questions about game balance. :)
The Inspired (or "Chosen") in Eberron are in essence magebred race, primarily human in appearance but containing elven, fiendish, and planetouched lineage. They are specially bred "Empty Vessels" designed to be possessed by Quori spirits from the plane of Dal Quor, then acting as rulers and agents of the Dreaming Dark in Riedra. So my thinking is they would be Psionically gifted Human-plus with designed weak wills and weakness to being possessed buy Quori spirits. My thinking they are like replicants from BladeRunner.
LE seems to be the norm for The Inspired GM you want this game to have Evil PCs in, he could just as well be LN
Definitely could be interested in this.
One question that you may or may not be willing to answer if it might be a spoiler: Would we be starting AS slaves or no? From what I remember of the original modules waaaaaaay back in the day, that was an element of at least one of the adventures.

I haven't decided yet. It could be possible that some of you start out as slaves.
Gm would that race build be ok for an Inspired (or "Chosen")
But I dose seem a little overpowered I think...
The other much simpler root if we are using Psionic Book is to just use the Elanrace build as they are also a designed/Made beings. Its well balanced to the pisonic side of things, and they are human in appearance.
So keeping it simple we could just say Empty Vessel Racial {are Elans of a type} with the weakness to being possessed.
Ability Score Modifiers: Elans/Empty Vessel gain a +2 bonus to one ability score chosen at creation to represent their varied nature.
Aberrant Blood: Elans/Empty Vessel are of the humanoid (aberrant) subtype.
Size: Elans/Empty Vessel are Medium creatures and have no bonuses or penalties due to their size.
Speed: Elans/Empty Vessel have a base speed of 30 feet.
Aberrant Nature: Although human in appearance, elans suffer from a nature slightly off from the rest of the non-elan society. They suffer a -1 penalty to Charisma-based skill checks when dealing with non-elans.
Naturally Psionic: Elans/Empty Vessel gain the Wild Talent feat as a bonus feat at 1st level. If an elan takes levels in a psionic class, she instead gains the Psionic Talent feat.
Resistance (Su): Elans/Empty Vessel can use psionic energy to increase their resistance to various forms of attack. As an immediate action, an Elans/Empty Vessel can spend 1 power point to gain a +4 racial bonus on saving throws until the beginning of her next action.
Resilience (Su): When an elan/Empty Vessel takes damage, he can spend power points to reduce its severity. As an immediate action, Elans/Empty Vessel can reduce the damage Elans/Empty Vessel is about to take by 2 hit points for every 1 power point he spends.
Repletion (Su): An elan/Empty Vessel can sustain his body without need of food or water. If Elans/Empty Vessel spends 1 power point, an Elans/Empty Vessel does not need to eat or drink for 24 hours.
Psionic Aptitude: When an elan/Empty Vessel takes a level in a favored class, he can choose to gain an additional power point instead of a hit point or skill point.
Languages: Elans/Empty Vessel begin play speaking Common. Elans/Empty Vessel with high Intelligence scores can choose any languages they want (except secret languages, such as Druidic).
ADDED DRAWBACKS
Easily Possessed: (Should an Elans/Empty Vessel be willingly possessed, the invader can maintain the Controller mode indefinitely)
Resist Exorcism: (Should an Elans/Empty Vessel be willingly possessed and the invader is subject to an excorism, any d20 rolls involved are rolled twice and the result most beneficial to the invader is taken)
What do you think GM?
Using Elans to represent Empty Vessels is... Inspired. <Ba-dum-tiss>

** spoiler omitted **...
I think you're right, the Inspired Empty Vessel race is too overpowered. Making him like an elan isn't the right way to go.
iN game they are meant to be like a designed super race.
So your kind of going to hit this problems trying to show that.
Saying that I feel I am going to drop this as idea for a PC
Becouse of this and I was happy with the LE ness of them as a race.
I Kind of still want to still play a Psion,
and as you said.
Note this book is purely optional, and only needed if you want to play a Kalashtar or an Inspired Empty Vessel.
Kalashtar may work as one, also LG in place of LE, so good,
I will have a look at the builds V pathfinder.

Yeah, you did the conversion faithfully. That's for sure. I felt that 16 points was too powerful, that is why I required a revision.
I try to let everyone play the character they want, but when it hurts game balance, I have to step in and say, "Consider other things." And say no.
I fully understand GM Eltonj, and its a good call I feel.
I think the one thing that got me was they are evil by default and I really was not comfortable with that.
Kalashtar Racial Traits

This represent their powerful minds but also there Unearthly slender bodies.

How dose this look.
Looks close, that's for sure. The telepathic talent is over doing it, I think.
Hmmm. Consider me out on this, especially if you're also considering a Star Wars game. Can't stretch myself that thin.
Have fun.
I had a think and I wanted to reflect what they are from the description
so simplified.

That's much better.
i will go with that then when the time comes
Hi everyone,
I'm closing this interest check. My Star Wars game has gained some attention. So I won't be doing this Eberron game. I'll be doing Star Wars instead.
understood GM good luck with the SW game
