Eberron -- The Forgotten Forge [RECRUITING]

Post Life Entity · Oct 4, 2006

Hi All,

I thought I might try my hand at getting my feet wet running a low-level adventure. That adventure is The Forgotten Forge from the Eberron Campaign setting. Yeah, it's pretty basic but we'll punch it up just a bit.

Looking for 3 Players.

POSTING REQUIREMENTS: Ability to post 1-2 times on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. I might be able to post more often, especially for RP, but I'll resolve actions on those days.

CHARACTER CREATION:
Classes: Gestalt Classes. Allowed Sources: PHB, Unearthed Arcana, and Eberron Campaign Setting.
Races: Just the standard races in the Eberron Campaign Setting.
Feats: Extra bonus feat at first level; Everyone starts with at least two feats.
Attribute Array: 18, 16, 14, 12, 10 and 8. Distribute this array as you see fit.
You can give any score a -2 penalty to give another score a +2 bonus.
Rules:
* You may apply the -2/+2 adjustment a maximum of two times.
* Maximum score after -2/+2 adjustment, but before racial adjustments, is 16.
* Lowest score after -2/+2 adjustment, but before racial adjustments, is 6
* Charisma cannot be your lowest score as a result of the -2/+2 adjustments (it can be the lowest because of racial adjustments, however).

Code:

[u]Edits[/u] (10/5/06):
  * Starting Level: [B]1[/B] [I](...open to discussion, however)[/I]
  * Paladins and Monks can multi-class (when we go up levels, that is) freely.
  * Sorcerers have Bluff, Diplomacy, and Intimidate as class skills.

Anyone interested? If so, the please post character concepts. I'll choose 3 concepts and 2 alternates on Tuesday, October 10th.

Hey there!

I'm interested in playing something weird and different, like a dwarf monk/ druid or changeling monk/sorceror.

What's the starting level?
Cheers,

SG

I was thinking that we'd start at first level. I find the dichotomy between good stats, high power (gestalt) and lower levels to be interesting and exciting.

I'd be interested in playing a Cannith Fighter/Artificer human.

Certainly a war-artificer who likes to plow things up.

Mista Collins · Oct 6, 2006

He is a streetwise man in his early 20's wearing battered leather armor and carrying two shortsword on the dangerous streets of Sharn. He has seen his fair share of fights and been in most of them. He has even considered joining the guard, but the uniforms, discipline, and constantly taking orders wouldn't be for him. He is a free-willed spirit who likes infiltrating the underbelly of parts of Sharn for the pure thrill of it. Loyal to those loyal to him, he can be trusted to the end. Screw him over once, or threaten his companions and you have yourself an enemy.

Name: I don't know yet.
Race: Male Human
Class: Fighter/Rogue
Stats: STR 12, DEX 18, CON 10, INT 16, WIS 14, CHA 8

His background and appearance.
[sblock]Appearance: Samarik usually wears a black hooded robe over his armor, and when he put down his hood he looks like a grizzled outdoorsman. He rarely puts down his hood.

Personality: Samarik falls into the catagory 'strong and silent' when around outsiders, and rarely lets down his guard. He has a powerful glance, and will closely examine the person he speaks to before he says anything. however, when he (rarely) becomes close to someone, he is loyal and a pillar of strength.

Background: Samarik has a fractured memory; he can remember his youth dimly, but his last memory was of his 16th birthday with his woodscutter father. After that, attempting to remember what happened is like diving into a black nightmare. His most recent memories emerge him as a 23-year old man, lost deep in the shattered wilderness of Eberron. After taking odd jobs and eventually doing mercenary work, he now has the basic resorces to go into business for himself, with the twin goals of discovering his future, and also his past. [/sblock]

I look forward to your reply.

LEB just had its last bunch of characters recruited on an adventure. I'm pretty sure we have one more adventure in the pipeline, just no active characters in the Tavern (other than yours).

He's a streetwise force of goodness who could be anybody, even somebody you know. When corrupt officials plot their evil deeds, one of the trusted bodyguards isn't who he seems. When the cultist is about to conduct their final sacrifice, guess who's secretly replaced the executioner?
He's the left hand of God. The right hand doesn't need to know what he's doing.

Name: Lex
Race: Changeling
Class: Paladin (Of Freedom)/Bard
Stats: STR 14, DEX 10, CON 16, INT 08, WIS 12, CHA 18

This, of course, is somewhat dependent on Post Life Entity's concept of "Honorable" for the Paladin half's behavior.

Yeah, thats what i figured, and I'm a rather patient guy. But I dont see why I can't run both.
