[Recruiting] The Forgotten Forge

[ShaggySpellsword]

I like...no, love how the histories are interlocked. This looks like a very social party with adequate butt-kicking abilities.

Most of the characters look pretty solid. I'll put up a Rouges Gallery thread tonight. Post your updated and fairly detailed stat write-ups there. It'll be useful for me.

Eluvan/Lin: I would like to keep the 30 point-buy at an 8 stat minimum, and would rather not give out bonus stat points for lower than 8 stats. I know many people do things that way, but I'd rather not, sorry. As for minor nit-picks: I am coming up with 31 spent skill points, not 32. I may have mis-figured or mis-counted, but double check it. Also, you are shorter than the minimum Changeling height and lighter than the minimum weight. Changelings are dense and fairly heavy, even when looking willowy and light. Feel free to take the bardsong feats in place of normal bard-song progression at the appropriate levels.

Overall, this is looking like great fun! After the RG thread is up, beautiful, and double-checked, we'll get this game on the road.

[Eluvan]

Yeah, sorry about the wisdom thing, I should have asked. It's fixed now, along with the height/weight discrepancies. I'll go ahead and post int he RG thread now.

Since we have at least until monday (that's when our fourth is supposed to be getting pack from paternity leave) to get started, if anyone wants to more fully flesh-out histories, and how you feel/tend to react to each other, that'd be great. If not, we have enough to go on.

Oh, and if you are an alternate, feel free to go ahead and post a character. If I think the adventure is too tough and they need a fifth, I will gladly work you in!

Looking foward to getting started!

Alright, workin on it..

[edit]
A proposal (something I've been itching to try for a while.. I've not yet included other characters in the background, since I don't know if or when he might enter the story... if at all. He's usually found among the better parts of Sharn, so at least a passing acquaintance with Lin or the Psion might easily be fabricated):



Haramir, exiled Barbarian Prince of Argonnessen
A native of the far away land of Argonnessen, Haramir is one of the strange and exotic people one can find only in the City of Towers.

Once, in his homeland, Haramir was a prince of his people, son to the mighty Chief who held council with the Dragons themselfs and destined to reign the fearsome tribe one day. But the land of Argonnessen is no stranger to bloody strife and warfare and while Haramir was still a youth, hunting fish and turtles on the white beaches and climbing palm trees for their fruits, his people fought a desperate war with a rival tribe. A war they would loose.

Still a young man, Haramir had to witness the cruel slaughter of his people, had to see his own father brought down by a score of enemy fighters and carried tooth and nail into the mountains, a sacrifice to the hostile tribes draconic protector.

Haramir would have died than and there at the hands of his enemies, but the other tribes witch, sensing something different, something divine in the young prince halted the enemy chiefs blade and saved Haramirs live. What the spiteful old hag had seen in the young princes eyes is still a mystery to Haramir, but clearly she was afraid of it. So afraid that she wouldn't kill the boy, even though he was the only living heir to a rival bloodline.
(i.e. possibly a dragon bloodline which would be considered divine among the people of Argonnesse, see below.)

Though the witch would not kill Haramir, she still feared him. Calling upon mighty magic, she placed a curse upon young prince, forcing him to leave the land of the dragons and never to return.
And so, Haramir left Argonnesse, living and drifting for a few years among the people who sail the seas, working as deckhand, pirate, navigator and more.
Eventually, Haramir came Sharn and quickly took to the place. His exotic origin and strange tales quickly made him a favorite among the nobles and wanna-be-nobles of Sharn who always seek to surround themselfs with things and people that envy their friends and rival.
For the last few months, he's been living a comfortable life among the rich and famous of Sharn, learning the languages and customs of Khorvaire.
He does know that his presence serves merely a status symbol for the jaded and rich in the city of towers and that he has yet no true friends in this strange land. So far, he hasn't shared the secret of his curse with anyone, but remains on the lookout for people or places that might help him lift this curse.
His greatest dream is still to one day return to his homeland and avenge his father.

Haramir is a broadshouldered, muscled man with ebony skin and a wide and friendly smile. His face and skin hold ritual scars marking his tribe and status among the people of Argonnessen.
He dresses in exotic (and if possible) expensive clothes. His most striking feature though are his golden and slightly reptilian eyes that have already seduced quite a few Sharn noblewomen. Haramir is quick to anger, but just as quick to laugh and forgive and usually more cultivated and refined than most people expect from the "barbarian" stranger.




[Likely setup, Barbarian with the Dragon Totem Feat from ECS. One might even add a minor Dragon Bloodline (Unearthed Arcana) to go all the way (Dragon Disciple PrC blows though). He'll have high Charisma, so multiclass later with either Sorcerer or maybe a Paladin of Freedom might be interesting]

 

[ShaggySpellsword]

You could also use the Minis handbook "Dragon Samurai" PrC. They won't be CALLED Dragon Samurai-More like "Dragon Warriors" or "Claws of the Dragons" or something suitibly cool-sounding. Just a suggestion.

I like your concept though! I think I'd be able to work you in at pretty much any time. Great work.

Put me on the list

Put me down as a back up, I'd love to play in Eberron. I've never played in a PBP, but I've been reading some threads, and it looks like what I'm looking for: a little fun everyday. Shoot me a mail at %fujaiwei% @hotmail.com if there's a spot. Cheers!
