Rules/Crunch of Eyros

mostly because, let's face it. Like Abisashi said. It's fun.

But you're right, and I realized we were doing that. If you hadn't posted something in the main thread then I probably would have. Still, I think the coolest thing we've done is the blood-taint stuff. Perhaps we could create some general guidelines for worship? We also need those pillar feats, and we could stat up the exotic halfling weapon.

 

[domino]

Right. Two feats, as written up, as discussed in this thread. Based on what we know.

Scion of House Malarn:You have grown up surrounded by many different races and viewpoints. As such, you are adept at looking at things differently, and learning new skills and ideas comes easily to you. At first level, gain 4 skill points, and 1 extra skill point per additional level, as a human character would. Human characters gain one additional skill point per level. As a member of House Malarn, you also gain a +2 bonus to all diplomacy and bluff checks with other members of House Malarn.

Scion of House Mulcibe: As a product of eladrin lineage, you manifest a slightly weaker version of eladrin abilities. You gain resistance to electricity 5, ignoring the first five points of damage from any electrical attack. You also gain a +2 racial bonus to all saves to resist petrification. As a member of House Mulcibe, you also gain a +2 bonus to all diplomacy and bluff checks with other members of House Mulcibe.

I don't know if we've gotten any more info about the others houses to work with yet.

Well...

we can do something Children of the Dawn or Elf or Merchant for Kiron (sketchy-level: not-so-sketchy)
we can do something Hobgoblin or Leadership related for Vajar (sketchy level: somewhat sketchy)
we can do something Racial Intolerance related for Zhal (their only defining feature seems to be killing other races so maybe bonus to attacking elves and dwarves similar to the dwarven bonuses to attacking orcs?) (sketchy level: pretty sketchy)
we can do something Gladiatorial for Taljik (sketchy level: very sketchy)

 

[domino]

There's no real time limit, so I'm fairly happy just waiting a while for more info, until something springs to mind. Kiron could have the immunity to magical sleep and +2 to saves vs enchantment, that elves get maybe?

Alsixnivis is probably a Dragon Ascendant from Draconomicon (the prestige class is basically for dragons who are trying to become godlike beings, just like Eyrian dragons would be) which I incidentally noticed has some good examples of different Auras for us. Since dragons die after Great Wyrm unless they have halted the aging process, the "Several age categories beyond Great Wyrm" comment should be ignored--Great Wyrm is the oldest dragons go--and instead give him Dragon Ascendant levels (this allows him, among other things, to become immortal unless killed violently at level 12)

[Rystil Arden]

Wow, that was remarkably difficult

 

[domino]

Yeah. It's been taking me several hours to do the big characters I was statting out. That's doing more than just number crunching, but still. Suprisingly time consuming.

 

[Rystil Arden]

Oh, heh, I guess I have no right to complain that it took me 15 minutes to make the dragon then...hee hee, silly me...then again, I'm used to building level 18 NPC opponents for my party in my head as I invent them on the fly, in the time it takes the players to roll initiative, which works because I've memorised most of the rules I need for characters and my players are slow, so for me, this was a long time to stat the dragon out.
