Eberron/Horror Game - FULL - Got my three additional players, thanks!

Looks like I'm the last to post a character , I'll make sure I get my charcter up today

 

[Desdichado]

That would be great! I'm still targetting a start date of first day or two of July, but it just occured to me that that's only two days away. I can still do it if I get all the characters and backgrounds submitted today or tomorrow, though.

If y'all want to work out any prior associations, or any smaller subgroups of the PCs that already know each other for whatever reason before we start, I always thought that was a nice touch. That's up to you, though.

I am a huge fan of coordinated backgrounds... though I am behind reading up on the other characters. Let me check them out, and if anyone has any ideas for Ceres, let me know!

 

[MadMaxim]

Alastor's background is up!

 

[solkan_uk]

Edited character, now has equipment and a rejigged background slightly.
Also changed height and weight to actually make her a petite size for a half elf (does help when you look at the tables rather than just guestimating).

 

[Harvey]

Also tweaked Ceres' history to make it more in-line with his lower level.

As for the other backgrounds, they are all great, though hard to fit into a common thread. I guess Ceres and Alastor could have known each other, both being essentially mercs. It's a shame that Feral's origin happened so many years ago... there's quite a bit in common between Feral's pack's slaughter and the shifters killed by Ceres and his squad. I've got to remember not to share with Feral that part of Ceres' background Arlanen and Forge have great backgrounds, but I can't imagine Ceres meeting them except for the explicit purpose of this campaign (i.e. all three are essentially investigating the goings-on in Greenblade, albeit for vastly different reasons)...

Anyone else got ideas?

 

[Desdichado]

Two questions though for Joshua (or anybody I guess):
1) Starting money for a Hexblade? Can't seem to find it in Complete Warrior... I did some of the purchasing based on the fighter's average starting gold, but didn't go too crazy in case I need to pull it back in.

I couldn't find it either, but the starting package hexblade looked like he had pretty similar equipment to a fighter, so I think you're OK with a fighter's gold.

2) I am looking to "purchase" a Writ of the Watchful Eye for my character for creation. (Mentioned in Sharn: City of Towers pg. 148). How much would you say it costs? Or would it be just part of the background character? It does have advantages, so I assume it wouldn't be free...

I read that section -- it does seem unlikely that you'd have one already. It says you have to pass three trials and serve on at least one mission. Other than that, the only cost information I could find was a +1 gp for a "resilient document" and supposedly the cost for having arcane mark cast as well.

But I don't think you can buy one -- you'll have to earn it.

Wow, half elves are smaller than I remembered too.

Cool, then I have some more purchases to do with starting gold...

Actually, with your suggestion to remember we are all first level characters, I re-worked that part of his origin. He is going to be a Gray Blade instead of a member of the Defender's Guild. The Gray Blades are all 1st level fighters and 2nd level warriors, and since he is dragonmarked, I figured he'd get special treatment... so forget about the Writ.

Here is the basics of my character, when I have more time I'll add a background, and I'll try and tie it in with the other warforged.
