Silver Marshes Campaign (Game Closed)

Hmmm... one of the greatest techsmiths of Illul in Lantan creates the ultimate gondsman... one that Gond himself breathes life into. That gondsman (called a gondsforged perhaps?) takes it upon himself to worship his creator. He now travels Faerun learning about how the world works... his goal to become a creator himself and to create his brethren?

Character would be a warforged cleric or gond 6 on his way to becoming a techsmith next level.

What do you think, Crimson? Would that work for a general backstory? Do you envision him unique or one of few?

Well slightly left field of the topic, but I believe I will go new love (Dwarf Fighter-something). Just got the Races of Stone and am itching to try it out.

And the eternal spoked wheel turned, Gond looked down upon his devout servant and saw the vassal that was created in tribute to him. It was the gnome's life work to create the shell, as Gond himself had planted the seed many decades ago when the gnome had first pledged his service to the god of creation, and Gond knew that after tonight the gnome would soon be joining him. However the gnome's candle was not to be extinguished just yet, as the gnome had to pass onto his on the lessons it would need to survive in the world it would soon be born into. Taking a single ember from his celestial forge, Gond willed it to burn brightly in the host shell and as they both watched, the creation opened its fiery eyes for the first time. Smiling broadly, Gond could feel Mystra's presence suddenly fill his workshop and he prepared himself for the tantrum the young goddess would throw. However, in his eyes it was only fair that if Moradin could breathe life into his children from the Eternal Anvil, so could he allow a life to be brought into this world...

Does that help answer your question on if I like the idea or not?

However, I would see him being unique at the moment, but later on who knows if Gond will allow him to "reproduce" others like himself.

Dwarven Fighter sounds good to me Prof. Will he be from one of the outer dwarven holds or a member of the Silver Knights? Or will he simply be a merc out to make his living in a land where stout blades are always welcomed?

What are the Silver Knights? Prestige Class? Or organization?

As I said it has been sometime since my last foray into the Realms.

It is what the army of the city of Silverymoon is called, or at least what I will be calling them.

The PrC based off of them is the Silverymoon Knight Errant.

My interest is peaked. Could you send the stats? I don't know if you can do it on the boards but you can use my home address (kewheeler@earthlink[dot]net) I am always open to new stuff.

They are on page 91 of the Silverymoon book, but if you don't have it I will work on getting it sent to you soon.

Basically the Knight Errant is a travelling knight for the city, sworn to uphold the laws of Silverymoon and can be requested to act as judge/jury/executioner if a city wishes to use him in that manner. They also only answer to the High Guard of Silverymoon, but are expected to be the first ones into the fray in defense of council and country.

Crimson: your description for the greation of the gondsforged has me sold! A couple of questions as I build the character:

1) Would he, as a cleric, have access to the repair spells from Eberron? I am assuming that traditional cure spells would still work at half potency. And if repair spells are accessible, would he, as a cleric of gond, spontaneously cast cure spells or repair spells?

2) Would he be able to find (or put together) something similar to the Warforged Repair Kit from Eberron?

Working thru the stats, I realize he's not going to be much of a traditional Cleric (the -2 Cha & -2 Wis really hurt him there), but I can't pass up the role-playing benefits

Hope you don't mind, but I sent over some info on the Knight Errant. It is from Silver Marches, so it is 3rd ed, not 3.5...

Crimson, you mentioned a book on Silverymoon. Not familiar with it... though I haven't been keeping up with releases... is it new?
