Conquest of Bloodsworn Vale [ORG] - Closed

[YeOldeAlbatross]

This makes him 7th level w/o a LA?

hellrazor111, this is correct. I'll still add your concept to the listing up top, but please be aware that the level distribution will need to be changed if your character gets accepted. Characters are going to start at 6th level for this game.

 

[hero4hire]

I would allow a Factotum, hero4hire. Go ahead and write up some details, then I'll add your concept to the list up top.

I just had an idea.

In real world myths, Fey often steal babies and replace them with 'Changelings'.

In D&D (Eberron, Monster Manual III) Changelings are supposedly descended from Dopplegangers. A bit of twisting of the theme could make them more traditionally fey oriented.

If this doesn't sound appealing, I can still easily come up with a more human background.

 

[YeOldeAlbatross]

Hmm...I have another idea, how would you feel about half-orc paragon class and the overwhelming attack variant monk(both from the SRD)? The barbarian substitution from Complete Champion (which grants pounce) would also be used. In case you are curious here is what is planned

I don't see anything there I couldn't work with, Evolution. I've added Turth to the listing in post #1.

I'd look at the submission, hero, but only because Changelings feel less rooted in the culture of Eberron than do other races (mmm, Warforged, rayex?)

Hopefully, that doesn't seem like too much of a double standard...

I will keep the same name as it sounds fey-like.

Off to bed but I have some stuff worked out in my head.

Aelfric Aethelwyne

Gender: Male
Race: Changeling
Class: Factotum 5/Chameleon 1
Party Role: Skill Monkey/ANY and every other secondary role
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Personality: Varies depending on role assumed, underlying sense of mischievousness

Old wives tales say that you should never let the hearth go dark in a newborn’s room, and that the water in which the newborn child is washed should not be thrown out; and that a needle or some other item of cold steel should be affixed to a babe’s diaper. If one does not pay heed to these precautions, maybe…just maybe that child will be taken from the cradle by the fey and in it’s place, something else will be left. Something, while not evil, will be entirely not human.

So it was a young peasant's wife had given birth to her first child. Her mother, who lived some distance away, was on hand to officiate in the first duties attending its coming, but the evening before the day on which the child should be christened she was obliged to go home for a short time to attend to the wants of her own family, and during her absence the fire was allowed to go out.
No one would have noticed anything unusual, perhaps, if the child had not begun, to cry like a fiend. After some weeks, however, the parents began to observe a change. Whenever it was sad, or hungry, it’s appearance began to change. Bright blue eyes would darken; pink baby skin would take on a grayish hue. The Father wanted nothing more to do with the thing, but the mother still loved it like her own and would have nothing to do with killing it.

So young Aelfric grew, trying desperately to fit in, to hide his odd otherworldly nature. A skill eventually honed to perfection, not only could he blend in, he could change, quite literally change, and with practice he could even become other people. People he knew, people he saw. There are limits to a young changeling’s skills, but Aelfric backed his up by emulating not only in appearance, but in deed. developing myriad skills and abilities to help aid in any impersonation.
He can not hide his mischievous and mercurial nature as a fey-kin. Aelfric purely enjoys fooling people and playing minor pranks, but still overall has a sense of longing and a burning desire to be accepted.

I will give you a named submission, hopefully in a few hours I can come up with something more here. But what I do have stands thusly:

Besik Kormahs
Male Elf
CN
Role: Primary spellcaster, buffer, cynic.
Transmuter 6, possibly a dip into Master Specialist, not quite sure, but at least 6 full spell progression levels.
Obviously his specialty school will be Transmutation, most likely forfeiting Conjuration and Illusion.
He will be a little jaded and skeptical toward the world, feeling his way is better than most. He's a little stubborn, but overall is a nice guy, just has his own idea of how things should run.

 

[Rayex]

Ok, here goes then.

Linaa "Firehair" Grinnling.

Female Chaos Gnome Warmage 5

Linaa is a red haired, firespirtited little thing. Her obsession with fire has made her people both fascinated and a bit worried about her. From a young age, small fires appeared now & then. Always mysterious, always close to where she was.

As she grew up, she learned how to master her abilities. Now she roams around, keeping away from her homeland, affraid she migt burn the village down.


Linaa'll be a chaotic neutral, spirited nuker. She'll focus mainly on firespells, and will have feats reflecting her obsession and skill with fires. She'll most likely be weapon-less, as she never learned to use a weapon. After all, they most likley burst into flame.

 

[LoneWarcaster]

Name: Traven
Gender: Male
Race: human
Class: Barbarian
Party Role: Tank/ secondary tank
Alignment: Chaotic good
Personality: Quite, listens, though when he gets some ale in him can be loud, talkative, and quite fun. (think of a mix between scottish and nordic).
Character Notes: Usually knows when to keep his mouth shut and when too open it, actually pretty intelligent for a barbarian, though he doesn't want everyone to know that. Traven usually wears hide armor and a kilt of his tribes colors.

Well, I see we don't have any cleric submissions yet, and inspiration finally struck me, so...

NAME: Malfaeus Epscalhorn
RACE/GENDER/CLASS: human male cleric of Abadar
ALIGNMENT: LN
ROLE: healing, combat support with spells and crossbow, motivational speaking
FEATS: I'll focus on ranged combat, spell enhancement, and/or social skills, depending on what the party makeup needs most.

QUOTE: “It is our holy (and lucrative!) imperative to reclaim this brutal land for commerce and civilization, all to the glory of Abadar!”

Malfaeus is a middle-son of a powerful Noble clan, whose father had him devoted to the local temple of Abadar in return for financial backing in a political coup. Living since the age of nine within the church hierarchy, Malfaeus has seen the wealth and power it wields, and has grown to sincerely believe that if such prosperity is the blessing of those devoted to Abadar, then it is only right that all mankind be allowed to reap such benefits. As such, he is a vigorous proselyte, striving to bring others to the faith by word and deed, demonstrating the bounty his god may bestow (either through acts of charity, or by acting as a living example with the ostentatiousness of his own accoutrements). He sees the recent call-to-arms as the perfect opportunity to project the will of his god onto the land itself, bending the Bloodsworn Vale to the beneficial use of civilized society. Not to mention raking in a non-trivial fraction of the royal treasury for the effort! ...er, for the further glorification of Abadar, of course.
