I'm somewhat interested. I've been wanting to play a Warforged for a while now, but I'm at a loss for the class atm. I generally enjoy playing Bards and Cloistered Clerics. Artificer seems the way to go (given that everyone else is some kind of caster); I'm looking for something I haven't played (ie Core). Given that I'm starting at level 1 with a cap at 5-6, most interesting "builds" wouldn't get off the ground. I may need to do some research.
Hmm...
I'm "borrowing" this idea from a few games currently running as well as some pop culture... it's going to involve the Egyptian pantheon somehow.
Welcome!
Play whatever you like, but don't feel like you have to play a caster to keep up. The planes tend to screw with casters to a really large degree, actually. I'm not planning on capping things at 5-6, but it's more of a recognition of the limits of PbP. We probably won't get past those levels for a very long time.
The central question in Planescape is not "What can you do?", it's "What do you believe?" Planescape is about the power of belief to change the world. What does your character believe? Does your character believe that one great work of art can bring immortality? Is devotion to a deity's code the greatest honor a mortal can have? Does the artisan's soul live on in his works? Does your character live out his life in order to weigh lightly in Osiris' scales? What would be the most effective character for expressing that?
