EBERRON: THE HIDDEN PbP

and Shadow Marches. Yrlag is at the very top on the right.

Looks like we are lacking in the healing department, so I'll get to work on a cleric of some sort. Will try to have a decent concept nailed down by this evening.

Aric d'Brennan

Here is a level 5 Human Artificer for consideration.
I believe the character itself is complete, though I will be revisiting his gear tomorrow, to see what I can craft instead of buying at market cost.

About Aric:
Aric d'Brennan is a blooded member of House Cannith, though he bears no dragonmark. He has trained with the finest artificers of the house, and showed advanced skills with elemental bindings. He was assigned to work with the gnomes of Zilgaro during the Last War. His primary duties involved maintenance and repair of vehicles damaged in battle. He was secretly assigned the task of learning the gnomes' secrets for binding greater elementals. This secret mission was considered a failure by many of the house, since Aric was never able to learn the secrets. Aric believes he would have been able to complete his mission, if the war hadn't ended so abruptly. The end of the war meant he was no longer needed to repair war-torn equipment, and he was recalled home.
Publicly, Aric was given commendations for performing his duty well during the war. Behind closed doors, Aric was informed that his failure to learn the Zil techniques was a disappointment to the newly fractured house, and he needed to get some distance. Aric took this in stride, and set out as a freelancer and sometimes adventurer. The rumors of new discoveries in the Shadow Marches seems like the perfect opportunity for Aric to restore his standing within his house.

There is a LOT of Ranger love expressed in this thread... I forgot how brok- er, good Ranger was for dipping.

There still room for me here? I can have a character up in a day or two

I will drop ranger and come up with something else.

I'm thinking I'll probably play a cleric if there's room for me

Ironically this was my first cast the Rogue3/Ranger2, I made it the first day of this post, the idea of possible tempest TWF build. I then built a Rogue3/Fighter 2, changed feats to suit Shadowdancer, with the ability to take Shadowdancer at level 6 but I ran out of time to spend on this so defaulted to the tempest rogue.

if you want to build Ranger, since you have the in depth backstory already, I dont mind changin up as i mentioned above, and building a shadowdancer rogue. I wasnt going to go more than a few levels of ranger though to begin with.​

So here are some of the concept ideas I'm considering (Opinions/advice welcome):

1. Half-orc Ranger 3/Fighter 2- a House Tharashk 'roving troubleshooter', sent to investigate recent events. (Further progression to R3/F4, then as Dragonmark Heir and/or Extreme explorer); mostly melee/two-weapon.
2. Shifter Ranger 1/Druid 4- a young apprentice Moonspeaker on a visionquest, drawn to the strange nature of this new area. (Further progression as Druid, to Moonspeaker PrC). Healer/support
3. Warforged Fighter 4/Barbarian 1- Anyone need a bodyguard? (Further progression as Fighter). Basic tank
4. Human Barbarian 1/Dragon shaman 2/Fighter 2- From Argonnessen, a young warrior out to prove herself after being exiled. (Further progression fairly evenly split between DS and FTR). Melee/support.

I like the Shifter Druid

Ok I am building a Kalashtar Psion, I have it all stated out but as this is my first PBP I don't have any idea about formatting a character sheet on here, is there a template or something?

Here is my excel version but any help with updating my origonal post with a character sheet like other people would be great
