[QUOTE="WayneLigon, post: 3696592, member: 3649"] In the current Eberron campaign, we just finished Eyes of the Lich Queen. Spoiler tagged for those who have not played this adventure. [spoiler]In the course of the module, all the PC's acquire either true dragonmarks or Aberrant dragonmarks. Even races normally incapable of this gained an Aberrant mark. (Since I don't have the book here, I can't remember if that's in the module or my change to it). The shifter gets an Aberrant mark of course which freaks him out since he's set up his character to be a hunter of Aberrations. Then he realizes his Nemesis: Aberration sense doesn't ping on himself or the others that have Aberrant marks. Things go along. They wind up with the gratitude of the Chamber, which is one of the Dragon societies of Argonessen. The shifter, the bard and the Inqusitive work with a couple of the dragon mages to see just what was done to them that turned them into the Eyes of the Dragon. (Since the power source is now defunct, the dragons no longer have to worry about them becomiing the super-weapon that could be used against Argonessen...) They talk about Aberrant marks with a dragon sage, and the inquisitive, with her Let's-See-what-I-Can-Find-Out 43 Gather Info roll... manages to wrest a precious secret from him: Aberrant marks are actually the real dragonmarks, born of Chaos and power. The so-called True Dragonmarks are the lesser Law-aligned marks, and are considered inferior. They are a lesser peice of the Prophecy, if they should even be considered. So now they have information that could shake the power of the Dragonmarked houses to their foundations, if they can figure out a way to use it. All the party are Chaotic Good and save for House Medani, whom they work for, they really dislike almost all the Houses. They're 11th level now, serious movers and shakers among the low level norm of Eberron. Next level, their Bard will develop the Syberus Mark of Shadows, giving him two dragonmarks, making him a creature unique in all of Eberron (that [I]is[/I] a house rule, because he's planned to do this since the beginning of the campaign and no way am I letting a module's fiat screw with that - It works in perfectly with plans I already had). House Thuranni will come looking for him, and the secret will be out. Perhaps. There's a reason why the third 'book' of the campaign is called The Mark of War. [/spoiler] [/QUOTE]
