OOC Deus Ex Machina

It looks like Cyran warforged is the prevailing sentiment so far, though time-traveling elves would actually be pretty fun, come to think of it.

Let's hear some more!

I would totally dig a warforged-awakening Last War campaign.

I think I would prefer to move the timeline back a bit, closer to when sentient warforged were first introduced. The current proposal (though only one person has presented a time period so far) is ~2-3 years before the Day of Mourning, which puts it at ~991-992 YK. The first sentient 'forged was made in 965 YK, about 25 years earlier. I propose the campaign start around 970 or 975 YK, giving enough time for the replication of sentient 'forged on a wider front, but not so widespread as to be totally common.

The PCs could, perhaps, be the first entire unit of sentient warforged, at least in Cyre.
 

Oh man. seems there's some new games happening in Enworld and i want inn in all of them! :)

What about a unit of Shifter Mercenaries hired to assault a Karrnath unit and deliver some artifact to and very secretive customer? Maybe some device that would make Karrnaths troops almost invincible,maybe struggle of power within the Karrnathi rulers? Maybe the the aunt of the ruling King Kaius the third had something to do whit it? Maybe the adventures shifter Mercenaries will impress and get a far more dangerous mission?...

Those boys in the Emerald Claw are some nasty buggers too. Maybe the score of shifters was hired to hunt down, intercept and delay one of bands? Revealing some dark secret?

Shifters must be the coolest race in Eberron. Lets swing a bunch of them around. :)

Well, in all seriousness at this point I would rather do elves (sans time-travelling) than warforged. Shifters would be cool too, but a Valenar war band...
 

Oh man, a unit of Warforged would be the coolest thing ever. I vote for that one. Could also use Warforged Scouts from...MM3? One of the MM. Warforged but small size, +2 dex, -2 wis, -2 cha, iirc.
 

OK, it looks like warforged has a strong lead still, with 7 votes for it. One vote each for shifters and valenar elves.

Necro Kinder, check out my opening post re: allowable sources. Just the core classes, plus Eberron books and the XPH.
 

True dat about the shifters Drowned Hero. It'd be wacky cool to have a whole bunch of them too (I want to play every race in Eberron and I have like fifteen ideas or more for each one!). I just think the warforged are just so quintessentially Last War ya know? And I think roleplaying a bunch of them at their inception (Zurai, good idea there) has just so much story-telling potential.

As for our mission, perhaps Cyre hired us to do a little sabotage/reconitering in Thrane (I'd have to check my Forge of the Last War for exact dates when those two countries were in conflict) because Cyre didn't want to risk too many of their own people against their fanatical armies. It'd also be a great testing ground for emotion, with the (relatively) unemotional new warforged against these fanatical peasants and knights.
 

Sound fair, thoug, without a human comander, I would suspect the forged would risk their lives in such a suicidal mission. I understad that been a brand new warforged don't give youy much space to really thinks things through... but still ^^
 

See, this is why I would really like Keith to write a book or trilogy about some Thranish nationals, so that all of this stuff about them being one dimensional crazies can be put to rest. Seriously. Thrane is mighty old as the target for every frakkin' war themed campaign under the sun...

Karrnath, or hell, Breland, would be a much better target... Remember, the only one of the other four nations Cyre more or less got along with was Aundair.
