<blockquote data-quote="FloatingDisc" data-source="post: 5977397" data-attributes="member: 72222">Dorius Del Dalian, Junior ReporterSo, here is my character concept. I generated him using Pathguy's Eberron character generator, so if there are any changes you want to make, it's no problem to just generate it again. I've used one of the stat arrays you specified (16, 14, 14, 10, 9, 8) and taken the generic bard starting package from PHB2. Regarding the non-stat elements of his character, Dorius is a gnome from Zilargo, working as a junior journalist for the Korranberg Chronicle, the main newspaper in Khorvaire. He has just recently been posted to Sharn as the foreign correspondent, to cover events there and to send his stories back to Zilargo to be published. I thought this backstory would work as he's a newcomer to Sharn, just as I am as a player. If you'd rather he have an established history in Sharn though, Dorius could just as easily be an orphan raised in a Silver Flame orphanage, who started as a paperboy and, after being taught to read, aspires to become a famous reporter, and has a junior role at the Sharn Inquisitive. Regarding his personality, he is a generally good-hearted and inquisitive guy, driven by the desire to become famous for his stories. I love the idea of writing his articles for in-game xp. They would probably be a bit of gonzo-style journalism, where the writer is featured in the events of the article. Let me know what you reckon of the character so far! Can't wait to see what pneumatik comes up with too.
