[QUOTE="Xaositech, post: 2878605, member: 40200"] This I can relate to. In an Eberron campaign that I am participating in, my character is essentially a rogue. Most of my stats and capabilities, I'm pretty much in the open. However, what I have not demonstrated until at least two sessions ago that my character possessed a dragonmark. Only the DM and one of the PCs know, at least OOC. The two other PCs in the campaign do not know in-game or OOC about it. There's actually a backstory that has been given to the DM explaining the reason behind the concealment of the dragonmark (i.e. developing a dragonmark of one Dragonmarked House the character had never belonged to while in service to another House and had to go on the lam when he was caught doing something he shouldn't & killed in self-defense). Nothing was said until after the end of the gaming session where one of the PCs remarked that I had done something and he couldn't figure out how I performed the feat. I smiled to myself knowing that I perpetuated successfully the mystique of the character. Depending on how the campaign goes in the future as well as opportunities presented to my character, it could remain a secret or eventually forced into the open to be known to all. [/QUOTE]
