Hello all!

If it's all right, I'd like to submit a character into the game. I know at this point I'm on the list of Alternates, but that's fine by me. I can wait. :-)

As soon as I hear a yea or nea from you Torillan, I'll either start putting numbers to paper or getting out of your hair. :-) Thanx much!

Welcome aboard. You are on the list of alternates, but I might let you in anyway. I do like the character concept.

First: How would you feel about races with an ECL? I am specifically thinking of playing a Hobgoblin (+1 ECL) because I love their culture in Eberron.

That's perfectly fine.

Second: In Unearthed Arcana (pg. 18) they have a system to "buy off" level adjustments by paying a certain amount of XP after a certain number of levels. As a ECL 4 character, these rules will allow me to be an ECL +0 Hobgoblin, but only 3rd level (and therefore a ECL3 in a ECL4 party, until I can catch up) with 3000 XP.

I'll look at the rules from UA (I do have it), and then I'll make a final ruling. If you're willing to do it, then it might be OK.

FInally: How do you do XP? Do you do it "by-the-book" giving lower ECL characters more XP allowing them to catch up? Do you give a flat number to all players? Do you just decided it's time to level everyone up and hand the level out? These questions have some bearing on weather I'd want to play an item creator or not, and weather I'd even want to play the Hobgoblin using the Unearthed Arcana rule.

I'll probably use the FRCS modification, so everyone may end up at different levels after a time.

Hope that helps.
 

I am now working on my character. I am fairly certain that he will be a Cleric of the Silver Flame, Dragonmark of House Orien as well as Favored in the House.

But as I said he is still in the works and could end up totally different ;)
 

I just noticed that the Paladin follows Dol Arrah. Let me look her over and see if I can work out a cleric of her faith instead.

See I told you nothing was definite yet ;)
 

So: the two characters that I am currently juggling between are:

Tarlalkuur daan Dekhaan (Male Hobgoblin Ftr1/Pal2)
Tarl is a warrior from the Dekhaan clan of Dhakaani Goblinoids. From a young age he was trained as a Mec-Shakaal (Chain Warrior) and filled with stories of how much nobler and better life was under the rule of the Dhakaani empire. After his initial military training and a brief tour of duty during the Last War, Tarl found himself filled with a divine conviction that something the Daelkyr released upon the Ancient Empire ruined the goblin race. The leader of Tarlalkuur's clan, the Great Hakaaltur, shares Tarl's vision, and has given direction to Tarl's divine mission, to strike out into the world and find a way to reverse the trend of his race becoming fouler and fouler, and restore their once noble being: and in the process raise a New Dhakaan worthy of his race's true potential. A kingdom destined to bring a new harmony and structure to this war-torn land.

Systar os Taer Cyjyl (Male Valenar Elf Bard4)
Systar grew up in a small fort city in north Arenal called Taer Cyjyl. Systar spent most of his youth training to develop his skill as a feared elven archer and to learn from his father all of the great bow-songs of the elven people. Systar's favorites were those of his patron ancestor, Kelaerys. Systar's father was a priest of the Keepers of the Past, and a collector of relics of the ancient Elven heroes of Xen'drick. Shortly before the elves that would become the Valenar nation left Aerenal for Khorvaire, A large raiding party attacked Taer Cyjyl, killed nearly all of it's inhabitants, including Systar's father. Systar took up his bow and killed many of the raiders, but was eventually forced to flee. Before he left the area Systar saw an elven man, dressed in black and bearing what could only be a dragonmark across the right side of his face, enter the temple, and scream in rage "It's not here!" Not knowing what the man sought, and fearing that the man would come looking for him, the son, Systar joined the elves of Valenar. Forgetting ofr a time his pain, Systar fought in many battles of the Last War, rising so high as commander of his own band of Valenar Archers. With the end of the war, his company disbanded, Systar is searching for clues concerning his father's murderer.

So, which would work better in this party? I like good party dynamics and welcome your imput!

I vote for Tarlalkuur daan Dekhaan (Male Hobgoblin Ftr1/Pal2). I like the odd looking of the party. Besides we may need someone that can speak Goblin.
In my background i have recently been in Rhukaan Draal, maybe my character did meet you there?, see if that makes some sense to you.
The only thing that i can see as a problem is that we already got a paladin and our party can ending upp to lawfull god. :\
 


Have you decided on a character Shaggy?

Most likely if Shaggy plays the Paladin then I will play a Sorcerer.

If he plays the Bard, then I will play a fighter or Ranger.

I know people like to have clerics in the party but I am not really feeling the cleric as a dragonmarked. If someone else wants to take on the dragonmark that Torillan is requiring someone to play then I will play a cleric of the Silver Flame. If no one else wants the Dragonmark, then we will have planety of healing through the wanding capabilities of the ranger, the paladin, and possibly the rogue, as well as the Bard if he shows up. So don't fret over a Cleric.
 

I'm not purposely dragging my feet on character creation.

I tried a Cleric, But I really didn't like the cleric with using one of my feats on Dragon Mark.

I tried a Sorcerer, but realized that someone was playing a wizard and I am trying to get a good group balance.

I tried a Druid, but I'm not sure how well the Druid goes along with being a marked member of a house. But it might actually go well (we'll see ;) )

I started a rogue and realized that Zook is the rogue ;)

Was thinking Ranger or fighter but dont want too many tank-types, so waiting to see what Shaggy does.
 

Since I love playing cleric-types, but didn't set one up because Juggernaut WAS going to play a cleric, then a cleric is what I shall be playing!

I am going to play a half-elf Cleric of the Silver Flame, son of a Valenar Elf who got around during the last war, and a daughter of House Lyrandar who found she had a close tie to the Flame and raised her son to have the same.
I won't have full casting progression (as I plan on going exorcist...and maybe one of the Dragonmark classes) but I'll have enough to keep us all alive.

Full stats by the end of the day...or maybe tomorrow sometime, depends on how fast homework goes.
