[QUOTE="Kaodi, post: 2815324, member: 1231"] Well, bye-bye first five characters (at least the suffering of a small forest of trees leaves me with written copies of almost everything, not that anyone seemed particularly ethused with anything other than Humourless). So, the question becomes whether I continue on like nothin' happened, repost the first five and then continue with my plan, or just not bother at all. Not like I was very succesful, it seems anyway. What do people look for in an NPC? I tried to get some background stuff in, and tie some of the characters in a string (kind of like a Six Degrees of Eberron, or something). All considered, I realize a great failing in that I never really give good physical descriptions of my characters. Anyway, I never DM, but I seem to have an urge to, so I churn out a lot of stats, and partial stats, and with that, various ideas come and go. For instance, I was thinking about a Radiant Idol of Earth named Achal, and a blue dragon who moonlights as a hobgoblin commander (though since I don't have the Miniatures Handbook, I can't really apply the Marshall class, which is what I want of the concept). If I continue, I am definately going to try to continue without using many templates. That seems to kind of be a theme of Eberron, that templated creatures are rare, at least ones with the half-template. So, no more half-dragon creatures, though that human spear-wielding sorcerer/fighter/dragon-disciple would be perfectly fine, if I decided to post it (or the axe-wielding one too, you know, the scaly white, hunched over, bearded guy with his cute wings and Mror Stalwart feat). Anyway, what to do, what to do. There is also the whole solo campaign things, but thats a topic for another areas of the boards, I think. To loosely quote a fellow: End insane rambling. [/QUOTE]
