[QUOTE="taitzu52, post: 1912604, member: 21465"] I guess I"d better throw my hat in the ring insofar as concepts: I like the Artificer concept, althogh the one thing I'd avoid is Cannith affiliation. I'd push this conept over the edge and make him a total outcast of proper soceity, and technocratic sociopath. This would be a perfect anti-hero a la Nemo. Point pinky to corner of mouth and repeat after me, "One millllion dollars..." A more heroic concept would be, "The Great Detective", very Ebberon anyways. I'm thinking that a human with bard levels would work, possibly without the perform element. Pump the perceptive skills through the roof, and get to it. I'd have to look at the Eberron prestiege class again to see if it's worth it. I see a lot of psionics floating around, and they would match this concept well, but alas, I do not own the book. So feel free to steal this, or any concept from me! Another terribly LoEG concept would be a broken ranger. A famed explorer who disappeared into the wilds of Xen'drik, left for dead, returns to the modern world. Time has ravaged his body, but he is still a wealth of skill and intent. Maybe a human with aging effects on his statline? My intent would to make this a saving throw machine. Levels of Extreme Explorer might be great, but I'm not sure how you'll be using Action Points in a PBP. Ideas? As you can see, most of my concepts are fairly conventional. Don't get me wrong, if nobody plays "the last werewolf", I may just snatch it up. But my point is, what kind of balance will there be for characters without truly exceptional powers? Am I just free to crunch and just keep it to myself? Do I want to? Still making sense? Lemme know! TZ [/QUOTE]
