[QUOTE="Harvey, post: 2377933, member: 28968"] Very cool! A ton of ideas! I like... I like... Yup. This will work fine. They both do... which I'm sure is making the choice tougher. Both characters have merit. Both seem to best fit the Shield Breakers. The urdinnir has some great benefits with the stone manipulation abilities, but the lumi looks a heck of a lot more exotic, which is the feel I was envisioning for the Legion. Feel free to continue working on both... I would be willing to take whichever best fits the lance. Gyre is a great character concept. While Wax would make an excellent choice for the Nameless Legion to recruit, I could see them using Wax in better ways than I envision running the camapign. Not only does the Legion fight as lances, they also loan themselves out as armies. I can envision Wax as a part of the Blood Feasters that has his own Karrnathi-like army. I'd say flesh out Gyre over Wax... Hmmm... I'd have to not allow the Dragonmark Heir. It is too Eberron-centric. Abilities like House Status and Additional Action Points would be useless to a Legionnaire. Which brings up a good point for [B]clarification[/B]: Characters would not get certain campaign world-specific benefits in this campaign. Because it revolves around a common thread, in order to make things fair to all players, the rules will be grounded in standard 3.5 rules structure. So, things like Action Points from Eberron or Regional Bonus Equipment from FR are not allowed. All good ideas. A psionicist of some sore would be an obvious benefit. I'd have to deny the Dread Pirate for the same reason I'd deny tyrlaan's necromancer: while it would be advantageous for the Legion to have one, it'd be to command an assault ship on the high seas, not be part of a 4-man lance. I'd allow it if you got enough people to steer me to running a naval campaign ;) Another [B]clarification[/B]: because of the nature of the Legion, I'm not going to allow the Leadership feat at character creation. It doesn't make much sense in the militaristic nature of the legion. While you are all expert fighters, you are not of high enough ranks to have underlings. I might be able to be convinced to allow getting it in-game as you level up, so long as you make a good case for it in-game. Can you post? It sounds interesting... An oversight on my part, so I will add a [B]clarification:[/B] the books mentioned above are definitely not the end-all and be-all of books to choose from. Expanded Psionics Handbook is allowed, as is almost any WotC 3.5 book, which includes anything from Draconomicon to Libris Mortis. I was just trying to name books off the top of my head. Also, any Dragon Magazine (from #309 on) and Dungeon Magazine (from #100 on) are fair game, so long as they fit the campaign.
