[OOC] [Eberron] Beer n Pretzles Keep on the Shadowfell

[Erekose13]

Personally I think that 4e handles roles better than 3.5 and I never had a problem adjusting the opposition to focus on what my players brought to the table. No rogues, curiously there are very few traps, no clerics, hmm where did all the undead plots go? etc. No controller, fewer encounters with minions or at least tons of minions. No leader, more time planned between encounters. That said, I've heard good things of tactical warlords and enjoyed playing an eladrin in this game.

you can play exactly one character in l4w... Right now anyway (if/when it changes it will be at least a few months)
be careful about picking something to try to fit the current composition
I'd suggest playing the character you're most excited about and leaving yourself in ere's hands. My character could easily dip warlord for healing word...

Having said that two spear fighting eladrin imperium legionairres could be lots of fun

Okay so I've got the outlines of the plot ready on paper, now to transcribe it to the format requested and submit it. WD any news on your character? I'll wait till he is ready to go to make sure you're in the adventure but if I get some advanced preview of his background/hooks I can try to weave it into the story up front. Regarding composition, we can always leave room for one more to bring us up to five. That wont fill 2 roles necessarily but it can compensate a bit.

I have maior problems to get it edited as I like.

Can I post the character here in standard formatting and one of you can help me to transcribe it in the other format?

 

[Graf]

Fantastic! This is gonna be great. I gotta get Amicus finished now.

I'm thinking we may need a leader. Even counting my lay on hands and a feat swap I could only heal 3 times a day. And Lay on Hands really works best with a second defender (or at least melee type...)

Here are the stats in my standard formatting. I will try to get it up myself, but if anybody wants to help...

A bit clumsy (for a eladrin), but strong and quick-minded, Riardon joined the imperial forces at an early age. He is not the most charismaic leader, but the soldiers respected and trusted his superior tactics and his willingnes to stand with them in melee against the strongest foes.
While he has some talent for arcane magic, it is rather untrained.

Deity: Palladys

Erekose, can you give some information about the adventure? It would help me to choose my kicker.

Here is what I got so far:

I've done most of the math stuff in templates down below on your character sheet.

Re adventure: Sure here is my elevator pitch:

Unearthed from the darkest, twisted pits a malignant force is unknowingly unleashed upon Daunton by one of the adventurers that the small city seeks to attract. Our heroes must unravel a mysterious death that could threaten the sanity of the entire island. The Sibylline Idol will thrust the heroes into an occult world that dates back before the founding of the Imperium.

And how does this tie in with our various chars (curious)?

 

[Erekose13]

Without giving away too much (I hope)
Incarnation - investigation points to research done by the big guy (lots more than this, but hard not to give away too much).
Amico (& potentially Riardon) - Idol markings are in an ancient form of Elven and tied to the early Imperium (again lots more too).
Rurdev - Dead guy = a shifter from his tribe too (the most tangential connection to the plot unfortunately).

Note that some of these ties are a bit longer term too, especially the bigger links I have in mind.

 

[stonegod]

Well, I'm ready.
