[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 5477957, member: 58416"] about chargers - these are a few scraps of notes I had jotted down about the creatures. Nothing was ever fully set in stone. There are simply some rough ideas I had about their history and backstory. (optional; added for flavor) DC 25 History or Dungeoneering (trained only) - Many years ago a long forgotten tomb of an ancient sage of legend was rediscovered; much like other such discoveries adventurers flocked to the site in hopes of discovering forgotten treasures and ancient knowledges. Inside the tomb a type of construct which was unfamiliar to the current sages and mages of your world was discovered. This construct was given the name of "Charger" because of the ability they have to charge themselves with energy and fuel special attacks. The most commonly encountered one was the Bladewheel Charger. Other types exist, but knowledge of the other types is scarce at this point in time; the workings of the Bladewheel Charger is not fully understood yet, but a few people have managed to "reprogram them for other tasks." They can be given simple instructions such as "guard this area," "defend this person," and etc, but they don't possess the full reasoning and thinking capabilities of an actual living creature. Some suspect that the technology used to create chargers may have been the forerunner to warforged, but this may or may not be true; as of yet, no evidence has been found to confirm such thoughts. Whether Chargers were a stepping stone for Warforged or Chargers are simply a similar and parallel technology is knowledge which has been lost somewhere in time. -------------------------------------- I had some point I apparently also had the idea for some manner of Solo charger encounter in which five different chargers joined together to form something similar to Voltron.
