Eva of the Lilies Her conscious mind brought back to her present company by the sound of someone directly addressing her, Eva turns to the robed man and says, "I am Eva..." Her eyes then peer over Brother Ray's shoulder at nothing in particular, and she continues, "Pelor sent me here on a...

How about Vitality points & Wound points versus the homogenized Hit point system? The necessity to "heal" wound damage would require miraculous intervention... but being clear about Vitality points as non-wounding, and the ability to regenerate Vitality much quicker and more believable pace...

Eva of the Lilies After many months of seclusion by the priesthood of Pelor while her odd claims were questioned, and a lifetime of never having traveled further than Nichols before answering the summons for this holy battle, the young woman is rather shy and remains quietly deferential as the...

I think that a lot of players prefer starting from scratch, and moving in to play someone else's character doesn't seem that appealing. I'd vote for an NPC in the mean time (maybe even just a NPC Adept or something) who gets called back to the home church due to some emergency once we get a...

Okay, I think I've accounted for the remainder of the starting funds (which I will describe as gifts of the local clergy and laypeople for the purposes of the quest since it otherwise wouldn't really fit Eva's background)... I think Eva is all set to begin the adventure! :)

Heh... I just want to be clear that any good ideas are not necessarily my own. Maybe I've written too many papers, but I just feel the need to mention when I take stuff from other sources. They do beat you up with that plagiarism stuff...

Okay, got the background up... hopefully it makes sense as I've laid it out. A lot of stuff is "borrowed" from my historical source, but if I cite it then it's not a total rip-off, right? ;) I think I need to tally up the gold that I've spent on my character, and then figure out what to do with...

Just want to say I'll be out the next couple days at the in-laws. Haven't had time to tinker, so I'll just, um, borrow the info in the Enigmatica info thread so that I can work on a background during my down-time. I should have the final stuff posted Friday or Saturday.

I'm back again. I needed time to devote to my exam prep. Darn standardized exams :mad: It's not what you know, but how you know it. I got a preliminary score of 710 on my GMAT (aced the verbal section, did well enough on the math section). That's enough to help me get in to Michigan (my...

I just had a test today, and have a huge exam on Monday... so I'll probably drink now & maybe tinker with my character tomorrow since I know I have some time to work on it. I'll be looking over the background info for the setting... IMO, better to have too much as long as I can muck around in...

Next week is kind of rough for me too... big exam on Monday. I am also married, and probably will be out of town and/or unavailable for much of the U.S. Thanksgiving period. I really have no problem waiting until after Thanksgiving because I have a bunch to do, and I can simply tinker with my...

Okay... maybe I'll change that level 3 feat again. I wouldn't want to leave a poor horse in the middle of nowhere, and I don't think my character would either. I can always take Mounted Combat down the line with a Fighter bonus feat, anyway. I was just looking at D&D books at Border's (deciding...

I think I will go with Mounted Combat, and buy a Heavy Warhorse. I'm not sure if there will be much opportunity to use it... and if there's to be a lot of dungeon exploration, maybe the Horse should be left at home (who would leave a poor horse outside in the middle of a hellhole?), but I think...

That's not a bad idea... something like Lightning Reflexes for the crunchy parts, and the rest covered in a nebulous RP cloud. I'll try to firm it up a little more in my mind.

Eva of the Lilies Human Fighter 4 NG STR 16 +3 (8 pts plus lvl 4 stat bonus) ... zealot's strength, despite a small build DEX 10 +0 (2 pts) ... still young and somewhat awkward CON 14 +2 (6 pts) ... zealot's determination INT 10 +0 (2 pts) ... peasant background WIS 9 -1 (1 pt) ... to reflect...

Text will be Cyan. Just hashing out ideas... the basic plan is all Fighter levels, with stuff/fluff on top to set this character apart. I may or may not pick up the BoED soon, but I'm not sure if that would affect my choices. In some ways, I would want everything fairly mundane about this...

DM controlled or player controlled? I think a little of both... because as she was tried for heresy, I think there was that part to St.Joan - that when it comes to voices, those who don't have unwavering faith AND trust in the visionary who hears voices, then one cannot ever be entirely sure if...

I've always liked the "all-or-nothing" part of Paladinhood... mainly because there are too many Chaotic Good Paladins with situational ethics that border on selfish nihilism. You don't get to be a "Fighter with Benefits" just because you like magical abilities. If you want to play a Fighter or...

I'd like a religious themed game... I've been thinking about a Paladin or zealot (not necessarily a Paladin) who hears voices in her head, inspired by Saint Joan of Arc, and I want to explore that concept. (I've been thinking of using that concept as a recurring antagonist in Eberron, assuming...

I always liked the Changelings, especially their worship of the Traveller (since he's one of the "bad" deities, even if alignment is more fuzzy in Eberron). It's good to have the zealot's faith with the Silver Flame, and then more regular good-guy Cleric stuff with the other deities, but...
