Message: <blockquote data-quote="nonamazing" data-source="post: 2865052" data-attributes="member: 12118">I have an idea for a character:  A young barbarian from Argonnessen who spontaneously developed an aberrant dragonmark on his fourteenth birthday.  The elders took him to see Fellithysaar, the ancient brass dragon who acted as the tribe's guardian totem, who deduced that the mark must be part of the mysterious draconic Prophecy.  Specifically, the mark indicated that the boy must travel far away to a distant and strange land, where he would be forged in the heat of battle.The boy ended up in Khorvaire, where he was found and recruited by the Iron Ravens.  The Ravens, of course, were always in the market for more shock troops, barbarians being especially favored, and the boy's amazing resistance to fire made him all the more useful (fireball spells were becoming all too common on the modern battlefield).  He quickly became an amusing spectacle to the troops, who found his mad willingness to set himself on fire to be very amusing.Later, after his unit was disbanded, the boy returned to Argonnessen, where he was greeted as a hero.  The tribal leader, a powerful old shaman, began to train the boy in the tribe's secret arts, preparing him to become the new tribal leader.  He was given an offical naming ceremony to mark his entrance into manhood.  From that day forth, he would be known as Ixen'vaerirlym, or "he who dances in the strangers' fire".Life was good for the next year or so, until Ixen's dragonmark suddenly grew, covering his entire hand and forearm.  Once again consulting Fellithysaar, Ixen learned that his quest in the strange lands had not yet come to an end--he was destined to return.Ixen would be a human Barbarian/Dragon Shaman with the Aberrant Dragonmark and Dragon Totem feats (his aberrant dragonmark power would be produce flame; his totem would be brass).  I'd also like to use the dragon barbarian variant from Unearthed Arcana (in brief, if you might not have that source: he would lose fast movement, uncanny dodge, trap sense, and improved uncanny dodge; he would gain Blind-Fight at 1st, +2 on paralysis and sleep saves at 2nd, and frightful presence at 5th).If this concept looks okay to you, I'll come back later with a detailed character sheet.</blockquote>
