[QUOTE="haiiro, post: 1664522, member: 1891"] Glad you enjoyed the first post. :) Cupric's player (who posts here as thedangerranger) wanted to create a character based around a compelling idea from the Manual of the Planes: sometimes a dreamscape in the plane of dreams shatters, scattering the shards into the material plane. Most of the time, these shards fade away shortly thereafter -- but in rare instances, they become permanent and take on life. Cupric is one of these rare cases, a dreamborne. We worked up a custom race for him -- literally a race of one, as our take on the idea was that every dreamborne would be fundamentally different. In Cupric's case, one theory is that he was someone's dream of the perfect elven bard. Much like planetouched, he possesses physical traits that make him identifiably unusual, if you look hard enough: he has emeralds for eyes, and his hair is composed of strands of copper. Here's the racial writeup, if you're curious: - +2 Cha, -2 Con: Dreams are often surpassing perfection in appearance but lack in depth of substance. - Medium size. - Base speed 30 feet. - Low-light vision. - Immunity to magical sleep effects, and dreamborne do not sleep (as the elven trait). - Obscure Lore: A dreamborne receives this feat from Song & Silence for free. - +2 racial bonus to checks with one Perform skill of your choice: Dreamborne are natural performers, and their stunning appearance helps them in this regard. - +2 racial bonus to Knowledge (history) checks: Knowledge of the world is a part of a dreamborne's making, whether he has studied the topic or not. - Favored class: Bard. Apart from that, the origin is mostly flavor -- and thus far, it hasn't been completely pinned down. Some of that mystery is being resolved by Cupric's player, some of it by me. ;) [/QUOTE]
