Hey people

The site is still slow from the slashdotting and i'm travelling (on my laptop, moving from wireless network to wireless network.) On top of that my wireless card is being pissy, causing problems.

Bottom line, don't be offended if I ignore you for 3 days or so...

I'll try to get some new stuff up as soon as possible.

I could use a Ki-Rin, been looking for one.

I pegged them at Paragon or higher, just because of the Unicorns being similar (Ki-Rin is like a japanese unicorn, but usually has more spells or abilities devoted to good)

Ok FunkBGR here is a possible build for a Ki-Rin, I am not really familiar with them so knowing that they are Lawful Good I extrapolated from that.

It’s a bit strange building a Lawful Good creature, but I suppose that evil groups deserve everything they get!

NOTE: originally the Reanimate power brought a creature back at 25HPs but as it is an encounter power I have changed it to Bloodied HPs. An alternative could be to keep it at 25HPs but make it a minor action, recharge power, depending on how much reanimation antics you feel is appropriate

The Quori is a strange one, and quite hard to interpret for someone else. From what I can remember of Eberron the Dreaming Dark inhabit peoples brains and control them from the plane of dreams, if a "head squid" dreaming dark is killed it just goes back to the plane of dreams.

Are the Quori the race that live in the plane of dreams and run the dreaming dark, and use the continent of Sarlona as a base of opperations for dealing with the physical world?

I also seem to remember that there are a few different types of Quori, probably Mastermind types, Assassin types and Soldier types?

Can you give me an idea of the type of creature(s) you are expecting, and the types of things you expect them to be able to do, also a vague way in which the PCs would come in contact with them might help as they are a very abstract race.

These are awesome! I'd love to see some heroic-tier swanmays and bird maidens (they're approximately 2e rangers and Al-Qadim idol-priests respectively, who can turn into birds of various kinds). I'd use 4e druid or shaman as a touchstone for their class-like powers. IIRC they have some Charm-type abilities on top of their class powers, and advanced bird maidens can turn into giant eagles as well as their more usual tropical-bird forms.

Willows here is an example Swanmay.
