[QUOTE="Azaar, post: 3082423, member: 1988"] Well, this sounds interesting. I hardly would call it stifling, but I am curious about a couple of things: what kind of campaign are you looking to run, for starters? Intrigue and politics? Hack and slash? Granted, if you're wanting to start based off a character hook that we could come up with... well, I could probably put something together. In fact... here's a couple of ideas for you to look at. 1) Dax (CG Changeling Rogue 3: probably take the racial substitution level from [i]Races of Eberron[/i]) -- While having the typical penchant for illicit behavior that most changelings possess, Dax always wanted something more for himself. He didn't want to simply be a nameless face in the crowd, although that certainly played to his strengths with his changeling shapechanging abilities -- no, he wanted to be the quintessential changeling. He wanted to be a legend among his own people... a paragon, an example to other changelings as to what they could do if they were only willing to go the distance. Future Path: If Chameleon from [i]Races of Destiny[/i] was allowable, that would be perfect for a valid future pursuit, but I would understand completely if Chameleon wasn't allowed. Another good possibility would be the Cabinet Trickster, especially in conjunction with Chameleon (again, assuming it would be allowable). If not, Cabinet Trickster would still be an excellent choice. Past that point, I am uncertain what path to pursue. 2) Tinker (name subject to change) (NG Warforged Artificer 3: racial substitution levels from [i]Races of Eberron[/i]) -- Tinker learned the arts of the artificer before being released from servitude at the conclusion of the Last War and the Treaty of Thronehold. Since then, Tinker has travelled Khorvaire, his curiosity fueling him to learn as much as he can. Hearing of the mysterious lands of Xen'Drik, and how there have been discoveries of warforged components that predate the relatively recent existence of the warforged (at least so far as human history is aware), Tinker is understandably eager to undertake a Xen'Drik expedition of his own. Future Path: Oddly enough, I'm not certain there is a prestige class that would bolster an artificer -- as such, I'd likely leave Tinker (assuming that name isn't changed, because it's a spur-of-the-moment name and I don't really like it much) as an artificer, and take all the racial substitution levels for a warforged artificer from [i]Races of Eberron[/i]. However, it would be interesting to pursue a future goal of having an airship built, to give Tinker a mobile base of operations -- that, obviously, is going to take a long time to come to fruition, given the funds required. Still, though, an interesting idea. There's a couple of ideas, anyway. Let me know if either one strikes your fancy, and I can try fleshing either character out more fully. [/QUOTE]
