[QUOTE="Fragsie, post: 4745690, member: 83065"] Certainly, I agree, like i said I'm new to the setting so i don't know all the backround (yet), and i definately want this idea to mesh well with what already exists:p. The mechanics for sending stones are certainly a good starting place, but i agree that the Ravens should not have unlimited communication, in that vein i would suggest that the ability be daily, rather than at-will (as per PHB), which supports Sessadores ideas somewhat. The idea of using tattoos, rather than just items serves multiple purposes: - The ability to communicate with (and potentially listen in on) the Ravens cannot fall into the wrong hands. - It is a means of identification between members of a very secretive organisation that doesn't very often have reunion parties. I like the idea of a large ritual (perhaps taking many days) during which the tattoo is applied to a new initiate (possibly involving said initiate divulging every secret he has ever kept?). I had a potential though about this earlier this afternoon; Perhaps this group were once as powerful as all that, based in old Allaria before the fall of the empire. But they lost most of their power when the tradgedy struck, and are only now; after (howevery many years), begining to reassert themselves. I would eventually like to run an adventure to introduce them to the setting; probably based around the Ravens setting up their temple in Daunton. what do you think to the idea? Mercury is a good idea, but I'm very attached to the idea of a goddess (the mistress of secrets; a pale, black haired woman with black feathered wings. [sblock=Pic][IMG]http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z308/fragsie_babes/faeryofravens.jpg[/IMG][/sblock] She could quite easily be a demi-god that serves Mercury/Hermes. [/QUOTE]
