[QUOTE="Tyler Durden, post: 2982650, member: 42937"] [i]Father Faram rose from his seat and crossed the room to his open window, overlooking the gardens below. Golden rays of sunlight shone down on a field of lilacs and his men in robes strolled casually through the pristine world of fountains, flowers, and fellow clergy. He would have felt contempt for the decadence before him if not for the other thoughts that filled his mind. The news that came to less than an hour ago weighed heavy on his heart. Despite his meticulous planning, things within the church – and without for that matter - were beginning to slip out of his control. Seldom were such extreme measures necessary, but he knew that as leader of the Elder Fathers he had no choice. It was time to select an instrument to help the Council further its agenda.[/i] * * * Hello Enworlders! After a long stay at the WotC boards, I’ve gotten tired of the environment there and finally decided to come over here. I’m looking for people to play in a solo or duo game set in Eberron. [b][u]The Game[/u][/b] The game will involve some intrigue/politics, but will be heavier on combat. The player(s) will be working for the Council of Elder Fathers, a sub-group of the Council of Cardinals in Thrane (more on this after characters are chosen). Because of the type of work the group will be demanding, the character(s) will need to be a bit morally [i]ambiguous[/i]. Right now I’m planning to have this be a solo campaign, but if a good duo emerges during the selection process, I may go that route instead. The game will involve a multitude of different tasks, but preference won’t be given to characters that fit one particular role (ie a mage is no better or worse than a tank type). However, characters who have multiple abilities will be better that ones that can only fill one role. [b][u]Requirements[/u][/b][u][/u] For anyone who wants to play, I need the following things: [list][*]A short backstory that explains how you ended up working as a mercenary. Don’t include how exactly you ended up with the Elder Fathers, but make sure you leave the option open to be working for hire. Including a short writing sample won’t hurt your chances… [*]Tell me a little bit about yourself, including how long you’ve played D+D (in real life and online), what settings and characters you enjoy playing most, how often you can post, and anything else you want me to know. [*]A sketch of the character you would like to play. You don’t need to crunch all the numbers, but the more you show me, the easier it will be to evaluate your submission. Don’t submit more than one character (you can throw around multiple ideas, but only one will be considered). You should include the future progression of the character. [*]I’m looking for someone to play this game who has a very good handle on 3.5 mechanics, including many non-core aspects. If you’re new to the game, I apologize, but this game won’t be fun for you. However, you don’t need to be super-familiar with Eberron (I’m not). As a matter of fact, this will only loosely Eberron and I will be making up things regularly. [/list] [u][b]Character Generation[/b][/u] [list][*]Ability scores: 32 PB on a 1 for 1 basis (For a solo game, I want the character to be pretty strong…he/she will need it) [*]11th level (including 11th level gold) [*]HP max first level, after that ¾ rounded up. [*]After 1st level, feats are gained at every even level, rather than every 3rd level (1st, 2nd, 4th, etc) [*]Ability score increases come once every 3rd level rather than every 4th level [*]Official 3.5 WotC sources are allowed for pretty much all content (unless I don’t have something, in which case it may be disallowed). [*][color=red]If you plan to use something questionable, ASK FIRST.[/color] If you don’t know whether or not something is questionable, it probably is. I encourage very capable characters, but I won’t allow anything broken into the game.[/list] Submissions are open until I see enough characters I like, at which point I'll announce a more concrete deadline. I'm sure I've missed something. Feel free to ask questions. [/QUOTE]
