E6 variant Eberron Homebrew/Tomb of Horrors (Closed)

[Creamsteak]

That's my general intuition, and as I said I'm more than happy to see one played.

 

[Sir Osis of Liver]

i printed up the e6 stuff and i'm lokking it over, not sure what i want to make yet.

 

[Creamsteak]

I'm just making some additional clarifications (they may have already been stated but just making sure they are understood):

I'm using a variant of E6. Normally in E6 you get a bonus feat every time you earn 5,000 experience. My variant instead gives you "bonus levels" each time you gain 5,000 experience. Bonus levels give 1 hit point, 1 skill point, and 1 action point. In addition bonus levels give ability score and feat progression as if you were gaining ordinary character levels (so every 3 bonus levels you get a bonus feat).

My action points rules are also an amalgamation of multiple action point variants. The info is detailed in the player's guide.

Another (hopefully implicit) assumption is that "most" classes work for E6. I have, however, included some additional or variant classes in my player's guide document. As noted already, the dragonmarked heir.

Alright, I think I might actually mix a level of fighter in to make him a better bodyguard, because I realized that I don't really need Globe of Invulnerability (the Greater Sentinel Mark) twice per day when Lesser Globe (one of the lesser Sentinel Mark abilities) excludes all mortal magic

What's your thought on a kalashtar psywar?

 

[Creamsteak]

I'm fine with it. The particular setting actually makes for some fun for a Kalashtar character.

 

[Sir Osis of Liver]

i'm gonna go with a ranger, either a human or a shifter. haven't really setteled on which.

I'm assuming that you'll let us know whether to finish up the 1st level version or the 6th+4 level version?

Also, how will you handle an Artificer's Craft Reserve when he hits Epic levels? And how much of the past Reserve points will a starting 6th+4 character have access to? Can I use some of the XP in crafting of items?

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Alright, I worked up a 6+4th level version of a d'Deneith scion bodyguard of the Defender's Guild. If you go with the 1st level version I'll scale him back to level 1 quick.

Rough draft of a Valenar elf swordsage.

I have one more feat to pick, and was wondering if this would be acceptable for you (derived from the Dervish PrC):

Slashing Blades [Epic]
Character Level 6th, Valenar Elf
You treat Scimitars and Valenar Double Scimitars as light weapons.

I actually think its a bit weak, but any other Dervish feature I look at would make it too strong. It's more of a style issue for me anyway, to be honest.
