Message: <blockquote data-quote="Matthan" data-source="post: 6719791" data-attributes="member: 20005">Hey folks,I spoke with Quickleaf via PM about joining in the fun here, and he asked me to share with you all to get any feedback.  I'm still reading through the story so far (I just got to the point where Nia introduced herself) and as I go, I'm hopeful that I'll find a niche to fit a character into.  I did have an initial concept that jumped out at me as I was looking over the setting materials.  There seems to be a strong voodoo theme throughout the magic system. Would the group be open to a homebrewed Binder class that refluffed vestiges into Loas? Specifically, I was looking at <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?469030-5e-Binder-Class" target="_blank">Nifft's Binder</a> recently on the board. My thought was to play a Houngan that rode Loas and depending on which Loa(s) were bound/riding would impact his personality. For example, if a Loa was related to the sea, his mood would reflect the current weather on the ocean around him, or if the Loa was related to fire, it makes him short tempered. I'm not picturing a fractured personality, just mercurial in moods depending on what was bound. I know that the setting has most clerics serving Loas so this might not gel with that concept. My thought was that a binder would bind lesser Loas that are not powerful enough to empower clerics, but are powerful when bound. There lesser nature would also allow the binder to be able to exert his own personality rather than just being ridden.  In relationship to others who serve the more powerful Loas (such as Nia), he would probably be looked down upon (which would hopefully offer some good IC roleplaying opportunities).  I'm not bound to the idea (a little humor there), but I wanted to run it past the group just the same.  I'm not set on anything at the moment.  In terms of a ship role, I'm open to designing the character to plug whatever hole is needed. In regards to the Binder class, if you think that's a cool concept to fit in and the class looks good, let me know.  If you do accept it and there are balance issues, I'm fine with tweaking it as needed, but I recognize that may not be a hassle you guys want to deal with.If you aren't open to that, but are open to another player, I would like to try to build a character that will work. I've never done PbP before, but I do DM a 5E group and really would like a chance to play.  Hopefully we can work something out.  Thanks!</blockquote>
