I've been thinking about playing a shifter ranger.

Up to you -- we'll be starting at 1st level, though.solkan_uk said:
Hmmm... I'm not sure about that. That seems a bit "out there", especially for a horror game, where an angel in the party might negate some of that vibe. I might be talked into it, though, if you don't have any other ideas on your back pocket.Lord_Raven88 said:
Oh, I didn't realize that was an actual class, I thought that was just a concept. (Haven't looked at Complete Arcane in a while.) Sure, go ahead.MadMaxim said:
Ah, cool. My own first Eberron character was a shifter ranger/barbarian.Cursed Quinn said:

Ok, so we have a warforged artificer, a shifter ranger, a half-elf psion, and a warlock, so far. For some reason, I am having a brain freeze on a character concept. Maybe a sorc of some sort who is interested in dabbling with the horrors that the Khyber has to offer? I'm already playing a dragonmarked character in another game, so definitely not that route... grrr... let me think some more...

Well I was going to go a Warforged Psion, but as there is already a Warforged and a Psion in the party, I thought it would be good to go a @ss kicking evil slaying Cleric of 'The Silver Flame'.Joshua Dyal said:
That when I thought about going the Young Ophan Ghaele who doesn't really know what he is, but tries to server the Silver Flame to the best of his ability. If you realllllllly don't want me to be a Ghaele
, I guess I could go a Cleric of the Silver Flame.
You could be an eeeevil cleric of the Silver Flame, who still kicks butt at slaying evil.

OK, so as I am looking through my D&D books for inspiration, how about this: a human hexblade (from Complete Warrior). I was thinking a member of House Deneith (dragonmarked) that was a was a Grey Blade sent out to hunt someone down in the Eldeen Reaches. The mix of arcane and fighter would fit well in this campaign... a merc out for more arcane knowledge.
Would you allow the Hexblade?

Absolutely -- I have a hexblade in another game, and I think it's an awesome idea for a class.
Cleric of the Silver Flame is fine too -- naturally.

A preliminary (unfinished) draft of my character, please feel free to criticise and comment.
Note that she is pretty useless in any combat orientated area.
She'll use a spear, though I don't want it to look obviousl weapon-like, more like a decorative staff with a spear-tip.

Appearance: Small and sleight, Arlanen's most prominent feature is her shoulder length curly red hair, which stubbornly ignores the efforts of hairdressers and parents to do anything other curl its way down her back. Otherwise she is fairly attractive, though some would consider her too skinny and her fair skin burns in any hint of bright sunlight. Her eyes stand out against her hair, giving her a fairly intense look most of the time, those who don't know her tend to think that whatever her topic of conversation is the most important thing in the world to her, even if she's only talking about walking down the street.
Background: Arlanen is the daught of Farranen and Martina Medani, both Dragonmarked members of the House, and fairly important ones to boot, as such she has been spoilt through most of her life and awarded a good education and travel around the (safer) places of Khorvaire.
Her Dragonmark developed around 16, much to the delight of her parents and is located on her left arm, across the top of her fore-arm and touching the wrist, should it manifest into a higher form of mark it will be clearly visible on her hand, as it is at the moment, it is still fairly easily concealable.
Much of her life has been dominated by her superiority, she's never made friends easily as she tends to look down on most others, however as she has grown older she has learned to conceal her fealings for short periods of time (hence her skill in Gather Information/Diplomacy - bluff might've been useful, but I feel anyone actively trying to read her will easily see that her friendliness is just a front).
Arlanen's psionic abilities manifested when she last travelled in the region of the Eldeen Reaches, a precognive flash allowed her to evade an oncoming cart. Now a year later, she feels that she needs to return to discover more about her power - studying in books has only taken her so far, and while a big part of her thinks that the time and place of her discovery was just random chance, another part of her thinks otherwise.
She's been in the village for just over a week, and has had multiple flashes of seeing through the eyes of something watching her - but she has not yet managed to find out who... or what.
EDIT: Rewrote the end of her background, as it was a bit crappy, besides which it's far more interesting to resolve her stuck-upness during play than before hand.
Note that she is pretty useless in any combat orientated area.

Looks good so far. I'm interested in seeing the background, now!
Heh. Nothing like a little bit of a princess syndrome to make a gal attractive.
