Also, How much does a house cost? with our starting gold, it could be conceivable for someone to own a house (even if it's a small one)

Finally, I've always wondered how a DM determines how many people a character knows in a city they come from. A character would conceivably have a network of friends, family and work relations. What do we do about that?

Come up with any significant friends and family in your background. You don't need to list the shopkeep you usually buy donuts from or anything that detailed. Note that calling in any significant favors from them is the purview of a class ability.

As far as a house goes, it depends on your occupation, but it would be reasonable to assume that your character has the use (either by leasing or owning) a small dwelling, most likely an apartment above a store or something similar.

Thanks Other Librarian,

I have another question (I I know I'm a pain, but I want to find a niche for my character without stepping aon anybody's toes).
I don't have emberron. What are the stats for a Changeling?
Thanks and cheers,

SG

For the purposes of our game:
Medium humanoids, 30' speed, shapechanger subtype
+2 save vs sleep and charm.
+2 bluff, intimidate, sense motive.
Speak Language as a class skill
Minor shape change: +10 to disguise, takes full round to use. In their natural form they have "unfinished" features.

In Eberron they are sort of 1/2 dopplegangers; here we'll say they are from a fey bloodline. Most people would be suspicious of them in natural form, so come up with at least one "cover identity" that you use.

Hey!

Cool, I'll be a Changeling then. When they "change", do they affect their clothing too?

I'll also switch my rogue and sorceror levels for bard levels. This way, all our characters will be very different. My charater will have 1 main identity (a public performer one), and maybe 2 or 3 covert ones.

BTW. I imagine that a 3rd level bard with 16 cha has two spell point and can cast 3 cantrips, right?

Cheers,

SG

The changeling only changes physical appearance, not clothing or equipment.

You are correct on the spell points/cantrips.

What about size? plus or minus 1 feet?

Average 5-6 feet tall, slender/thin build.

Thanks. Can they alter their size when using their innate ability?

No, not to to any appreciable degree.

Hey, it's me again

OK, does the +10 do disguise from being a changeling stack with the +10 from the Disguise Self spell?

Can a naked changeling emulate clothing? Can items be incorporated and hidden within this emulated clothing (like rings and armor)? I don't see a cloak working, but maybe a ring or armor (i.e. close to the body).

How common are changelings? Are they feared? Are people weary of being "replaced" by a changeling or are they're too uncommon for that? Are they hunted down? Do changelings recognize each other? Is there a special changeling organisation (this could be an interesting backstory)?

I'm still working on my backstory, but I'd like to know the social perception to take it into account..

Cheers,

SG

PS: I noticed that everybody has VPs instead of HPs. Any real (game) difference?

PPS: When do we start (i.e. what's the deadline to have our characters ready by)?
