[QUOTE="GreatLemur, post: 2031316, member: 28553"] Pardon my absence, folks. That convention I mentioned--which turned out to be a sci-fi con, rather than a comics one--ended up keeping me overnight, due to transportation failures and general retardedness. Anyway, here's my warforged concept.[indent][b]Arvim, the Replacement[/b] When Eimar Othantin, greatest Paladin of the modern Lodge of Glory, finally fell in combat with a nest of wererats, his faction decided that the only was to replace their sudden vacuum left by his great martial power would be to create his replacement themselves. A Church-made warforged could be guaranteed loyal to the cause of the Lodge, and could grow to fill Brother Eimar's role faster than any of the human prospects they saw available at the moment. And thus was Arvim, first of the Flameforged, born. Arvim's construction was cosmetically different from other warforged, if functionally the same. Eimar Othantin's mithral armor was used in the construction of Arvim's outer shell, giving the new being the appearance of a man in silvery plate mail, rather than that of a traditional Cyre warforged. Personal development has lead the construct to have his own appearance modified further, adding a beatific human face, wrought in silver, underneath his helmet. This alteration might be seen as vanity, but Arvim considers it a statement of his own fundamental differences from other warforged, and his acknowledgement of human primacy. He also strives to learn more about and live up to the memory of his predecessor, Brother Eimar, although he in no way considers himself to an heir to the paladin, or worthy of such an honor. He has a strong--if naive and largely book-taught--sense of justice, and might be prone to criticize some of the Lodge's more extreme activities, but his inherent submission to his human, Flame-ordained masters prevents him from truly dissenting. [/indent]So gestalt classes, huh? That adds an interesting wrinkle. I'll have to doa lot of thinking about potential character builds. Nine gestalt levels is a whole lot of power to work with... Since we seem to be getting plenty of ex-criminal background already, my "Lhulan Ceth, the Reformed" bit can probably be ruled out. But Lhulan the [i]Scholar[/i]--probably skewed towards being more of a spellcaster and less of a Rogue than I thought--and that warforged concept are in the running. I'll try putting some numbers together and see where I end up. God damn, I think I like the way you think. But I'd actually go further and throw in the deformity, too. :D [/QUOTE]
