Recruiting - Shards of the Silver Flame (recruiting re-opened)

[Ferrix]

I'll toss my hat in and then make a character concept later today.

 

[drothgery]

Hee. Caught redhanded.

In seriousness though, the intent of this character is not to reproduce in exactness. The obsession with violence isn't necessary to the central idea of this character (which really circulates around self-discovery and warforged/other race relations). I mainly included the reference for humorous purposes.

On the other hand, as there are significant mechanical issues to the build as well (the cha penalty is hurty), if that idea just doesn't resonate, I'd be more than happy to provide an alternative.

Oh, there's nothing wrong with a warforged warmage with an offbeat sense of humor. And a -2 Cha penalty isn't too bad in the long run. It's just that HK tended to cause lots of problems for light-siders...

 

[Shayuri]

Oh I dunno. I always just told him to hold his horses. He'd get whiny, but it's not like he'd every shoot against orders.

However, I can easily tone-down/eliminate all that stuff. It was mainly tacked on after the fact anyway. The initial appeal this character had for me was the idea of its "spells" actually representing different weapon systems that would unfold out of various places on its chassis, then retract back when done.

So the "magic missile" spell might be a multi-barrel weapon that spits out shots with rapid precision, while a Fireball could be a large-bore cannon that emerges from behind its chest plates. Strictly flavor only, of course. Full components still required, barring feat use. Just a touch of visual flair.

 

[Dracomeander]

I think I'll throw my bid in for this game.

For a character concept, I looking to try the apprentice smith turned Paladin/Exorcist of the Silver Flame, Martel Flameweaver.

I have to get ready for my tabletop game now, but will be able to flesh out the concept more late tonight.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Brother Shatterstone - I wouldn't have posted a note about this game in the OOC thread of the KotOR game if I weren't hoping you could come up with something.

I have the book out of storage now and I'll see if I cannot think of something.

 

[Lord Wyrm]

A few comments so far -
One general comment -- if you're proposing a character that's neither from Thrane nor a follower of the Silver Flame, some explanation of why you're working on their behalf (and have for some time at the start of the game) would be good (if you're figuring on developing a reason once you see the other PCs, just say so). I'll edit the first message to that effect.

Lord Wyrm - Alarich looks like he could be intersting, but probably needs some kind of motivation to stay with the group.

Alarich, while not tied to the Silver Flame or the party by his history, is still a loyal soldier and member of house Deneith. In his own sense of honor he's going to stick it out for his house and nation.

I'm also enjoying the torn loyalties of Alarich: the party, Karrnath, his mission, the Wayfinders, house Deneith, his undead soldiers in the Mournland; just to name a few of them. For an honorable man such as Alarich these just keep piling up. Also let us not forget he was there for the Day of Mourning and has been to the Mournland and barely made it out. The horrors he has seen probably eclipse those of the other party members, having read some of the concepts thus far.

Looks good at first glance, though it's a bit early for statblocks. Just as a for future reference thing, citations would be nice for anything that's not in the PHB or DMG so that I can look them up.

Not a problem, but I had some time between tornados (and would not have the same time during the week). Recreational character generation is a pastime.

Just as a for future reference thing, citations would be nice for anything that's not in the PHB or DMG so that I can look them up.

I have references for it all; when the "final" versions are closer to ready, I'll annotate. All ECS or Complete * materials.

 

[Grunk]

Consider me interested. I'm an experienced 3.5 gamer. I haven't really ever played in a PbP game though I'm interested in starting. Don't know much about Ebberon, though I have the book. I'll flip through it tonight.
