Other stuff will be available in the future through various methods. Further, there haven't been any updates to the Aberrant Dragonmark feat that I know of that allow you to pick other spells, Eberron-related or not. I believe they limited the selection of spells for a reason. That said, I have thought about it and I will offer you a compromise on the ancient knowledge spell, if it interests you. I haven't seen any indication of which deity you worship but I am guessing you worship the Sovereign Host as a pantheon. If you are willing to take Aureon as your sole patron (meaning you have to limit your domain choices to Knowledge, Law, and Magic), then I will let you add ancient knowledge to the list of cleric spells you can prepare. This would be in lieu of me granting you a bonus feat (and I honestly haven't decided whether your background warrants one anyway as it was a bit short on details; you could always improve it a little if you like). This is only an option. I thought I would offer it since you seemed interested in the spell and I wasn't sure whether you were taking Aberrant Dragonmark because you liked the idea of the feat (but didn't like the spell options) or because you wanted access to the ancient knowledge spell.OnlytheStrong, I finally got around to reading your entire character background. Actually, I did not find it poorly written at all. Your style and diction are excellent. However, I did have a few problems with the content. It seems to me that you are describing the life of a Riedran slave who was used as an assassin, sometimes unwillfully, by the Inspired. First, I don't imagine a Riedran would know anything about the Dreaming Dark. Second, Riedrans know the Inspired aren't gods (see SoS 50), merely vessels for god-like beings. Most confusing however, is why the Inspired would use a Riedran human as an assassin, unless you are trying to suggest he was a failed vessel. I cannot find it explicitly stated, but it is definitely implied that the Thousand Eyes are all Inspired as well, so I don't think you are suggesting he was one of them. In short, I'm not sure I grasp your origin story. It seems incredibly implausible that the Inspired would arrange to have a 1st-level character teleported across the sea (to Khorvaire?) to assassinate a high-level kalashtar telepath. And how did he end up in Adar if he was across the sea? Adar and Riedra are both in Sarlona. Finally, your story ends with him in Adar, so how did he get to Khorvaire (where the campaign begins)? I think you are confused about the location of Adar and thought it was in Khorvaire (that would still require a greater teleport spell). Maybe you can clear things up for me.Selc, I'm not so sure there really are "lesser colleges" in Khorvaire (and for that matter not any that one could afford on a fisherman's salary). From what I understand, Eberron isn't socially advanced enough to have higher education available to those other than aristocrats. That said, Morgrave University is described as an exception that is somewhat more accessible to adventurers due to its interest in artifacts and relics of eras past.Creamsteak, I'd be happy to have you as an alternate along with Selc, if you are interested.Greybeard, if you feel so inclined to "nerf" your scores or use the point buy instead you may, but I certainly won't insist on it. Part of the fun of rolling is seeing what you can make of a modest roll and enjoying the good luck when you get a great one. That said, I don't think you'll be outshadowing anyone. The other fighter-type (soulknife) will be dealing plenty of damage with psionic weapon. Since the advent of 3rd edition, I no longer believe ability scores make the character. So many more options are at your disposal that with careful planning even a character with low scores can be phenomenally powerful.It looks like the final group is composed. Once everyone has finished their characters, I will pick a start date, but I'm thinking next weekish if the stars bode well.Halford - kalashtar psionOnlytheStrong - human soulknifeOni - human wizard (conjurer)Friadoc - warforged rogueMegamania - human clericGraybeard - fighter typeAlternatesSelcSilverhand - halfling spirit shamanCreamsteak - bard</blockquote>
