Sharn: Beneath The Towers OOC [FULL]

[Vargo]

Don't throw out the potions entirely - only two of us IIRC can use the wand (I think Artificers can, please correct me if I'm wrong) and the potions are useful for emergency recovery when we're not near the person who is down. Keep at least one potion.

Also, for those curious about how to pronounce Liu's name, it is pronounced "Lew", last name "Shee". Several additional character concepts came to me as I was listening to a certain breakfast show Sunday morning on our local classic rock station. (KZOK, if you're curious.)

It's the "I Love Liu Xie Show"!

Artificers can because they typically have Use Magic Device maxed out...unless they're not interested in making magic items .

I might shift around some points to get UMD as well, since it's a class skill for me. Depending on my leftover funds (still have to finish buying stuff) I might be able to help spring for that cure light wand.

I noticed we have a decently strong oriental theme going on, would anyone care to discuss tying together backstories? Perhaps all from the same region?

 

[khavren]

Oh, and I'll throw 140 into the wand funds

 

[Guest 11456]

Actually, there are 6 of us. 125gp a piece would cover the wand.

As Coal: If my master sees it as worthy, I will submit my 400 gold to the cause. If he does not wish it to be so, you must seek another path to reach your destination.

As TGK: Works for me on the wand and on the joint background(s). I liked the history you have going for me and will run with whatever you decide to throw our way. I am also going to enjoy the interaction between a free-willed Fixer and Coal, who for basically all purposes has decided to cast aside the yoke of freedom.

Anybody interested in grouping up on a wand of cure light? I've got 200gp to throw towards it, we need 750gp total, unless our illustrious DM wants to tell us what he means by "some unique bartering IC playing in Eberron"...

Ah, you'll have to wait and find out... Actually, I can't keep a secret for very long... there are some characters pre-created in either the Eberron Campaign Setting or the Sharn: City of Towers books that have a discounting structure built in based on the characters attitude towards you (using the 3.5 attitude structure). One of them (purely coincidentally) is near your first adventure. So, depending on how you handle him, you might be getting some discounts.

Oh, and while I love the "wand fund", being a PC myself I have to agree with Vargo that having potions handy is always a good plan. Also, something I learned from my Eberron campaign where I am a PC: try to make use of the House Jorasco healing locations when possible. For a cure light, House Jorasco charges 8gp, as opposed to 50gp for a potion... now keep in mind that it is not always feasible to make use of their services, but once my character (the Cleric) was dragged to the local House Jorasco emporium (many, many blocks away) because no one wanted to waste their potions. Having Eberron's Action Point system allows for characters to stabilize after going below 0 hp makes situations like that feasible.

Which, thinking about it now, I should have asked at the beginning, but can I assume that you all either own or have access to the Eberron Campaign book? There are unique items, rules, etc, that are in the book that I will make use of. I believe (based on your character sheets) that all of you at least have access to it, but if not, feel free to ask either myself or the other players any questions.

Hi all,

In going thru your characters/backgrounds, some questions to ponder:
1) How will Fixer, a free warforged, feel about Coal, an indentured warforge?
2) How will Liu, a human raised by elves, feel about Ka'ash?
3) Will either of the female characters fall for the handsome Eldon?

and most imporantly:
4) How will Peaches the Cat take to Kip the Dog?
