4th edition of Bahamut's "Rite of Rebirth"?

[vernes]

I am unable to find information about this ritual in 4th edition.
Trying to fit it in my character somehow.
A Warforged Paladin.
After a false start in another setting, our DM has ejected us in another setting.
We are now in Forgotten Realm's Faerûn.
My Warforged Paladin (diety Palor) now has to hide the fact he is a living construct and thus, an arcane abomination to most.
I hope to make some nice character development scene's when he finds out Palor is unknown, only Bahamut is known (He picked up a sword from an Bahamut altar which worked for him dispite his connection to Palor (he is confused about this)).

I forsee him turning towards Bahamut and when I found out about the Rite of Rebirth, I imagined a metal-scaled warforged Dragonborn.
I liked that image.

But is it still present in 4th edition at all?

Warforged fit right into the Forgotten Realms, crafted as servants of Gond. But no, Dragonborn exist on their own in 4. No mention of the ritual of rebirth.

For the most part, you can probably just roleplay the rite to achieve the result you want, there's not much mechanical detail to it.

But if you want some mechanics to back you up...

But yes, as noted, Warforged are accepted in Faerun, so he doesn't have to change necessarily. Pelor doesn't exist though, the closest god I believe is Amaunator.

Well the breath weapon would be nice.
I'd try to refit more fire related devine powers (something I would request anyway if I change diety) and get a fire theme going.

4th edition Eberron, does those ruleset still contain the rite?

The rite does not exist in the 4E ruleset.

 

[vernes]

ah...

Thanks I guess
That made it completely and absolutely clear.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to start from scratch

Also... Why not Aumanator fka Lathander fka Aumanator? The realms might not have heard of 'Pelor' but they certainly have a good-aligned, undead-hating, healing-magics loving sun god and one who very recently walked around as a deity of rebirth, and of new beginnings, while espousing goodness and prosperity.

One could even make the argument that one is a different name for the other--nothing says that a god can't have a different name to different cultures, especially a god who HAS different names in different cultures in the Realms.

I DM a 4e game. Early last year we use the right of rebirth for a human cleric that swore and oath to Bahamut to avoid a TPK. After some time in a crystlis cocoon we have a shinny platinum dragonborn cleric. That PC is still in play now, and a favorite for the player. The game is what you make it! Talk to your DM and see if it fits into his/her vision for the game.

This.

Just because there isn't a spell called 'Rite of Rebirth' doesn't mean that the DM is not allowed to have it as a plot point.

But is it truly necessary? Warforged exist in Faerun, a sun god exists in Faerun, worship of a god is not even necessary to access the divine power source once you're invested... there's no need to change your character.

Go with what is cool and good narrative, not on what seems 'necessary.'
