Vasorn, The World Under Dragonfire - Calling all players!

I'll put you on the alternate list Manzanita. I actually do have a couple of openings, though they're more for replacement characters.
One is for Life in Vein, an Arcana Unearthed game. I wanted to get someone to take over Dougal DeKree's character Arakas the Astounding as I don't think he's coming back. If you don't want to play him, I just introduced a blind faen seer that could use a player (there's a couple of interesting things that could be done with her, as she's pretty much as blank slate in terms of abilities right now, and I have some ways to compensate for her blindness). Or I could work out something else.
Also in my 5th level AU game Stone Bones two players have gone AWOL. Because this is a closed environment I would probably ask if someone could just take over one of the two abandonded characters. You would be allowed to make some changes to them to suit your own style, and pretty much be allowed to play them freely.
Finally I have three slots wide-open in my Forgotten Realms game Jungle Deeps and Ocean Depths. Three players have simply stopped responding, and the people on the alternates list have yet to respond in two days. As that game is in extreme danger of dying, I'm more than willing to kill off those characters or have them leave, so you'd be fairly free to bring in someone of your choosing (though see my most recent post for some suggestions that would be easier for me to incorporate).
If any of those appeal, just post to those threads.

Hmm, perhaps I wasn't clear.
I was wondering what the EL would be for any ONE of those abilities. Not all in one char, that would just against the rules (you get one from shadow template). So I'm thinking, normal EL +2 for a shadow creature, if you take something good like healing it rises to +3 or +4. Basically I'm wondering as to the EL of: A shadow creature which selected fast healing, a shadow creature who selected plane shift 1/day to the plane of shadow, and a shadow creature who chose none of the optional abilites. I think I want to keep my EL below +4 if I can, because I want several levels of Dragonstalker.
Come to think of it, what if I just took evasion? Would that let me stay at EL +2?
By the way, you said early on that you'd give a d8 HD for each EL level. I'm assuming that comes with no BAB, saves, etc. Am I right?
Another thing: I'm wondering if we are fighting dragons or dragons' henchmen more. A grappler has a little trouble grappling a dragon (I'd only have a 40% chance against an adult black dragon and they're the worst CR 11 grapplers). Also, I'm just wondering where the party's weakness is, melee or ranged.
I have both characters ready. I think I'd prefer the elven guy.
Out of curiosity, what's starting cash? It said 33,000 somewhere, but most PCs have more than that.

I posted Eleth (Shadow Elf) in the rogues gallery, pending approval.
For cash, I just used about what everyone else had.
I just took standard shadow EL +2 for only having the evasion optional ability and forgoing my 8th level one.
Anything wrong with him?

Nac Mac, I just looked Eleth right now and he looks really good. If you would be so kind as to bold those parts that need bolding, he would be perfect. I like your background, your abilities and equipment look fine.
As for how to get you in, do you want to say that Eleth volunteered to help the mindflayers and skum lead the initial attack on Darkstone Mine? Perhaps you got separated from your group in the confusion, and were just trying to get back. Perhaps you found yourself trailing a young amethyst dragon and its four dragonkin retrievers. And perhaps you saw the retrievers fall and the dragon's back to you...

Okay, I'm still figuring whether to use him or my melee guy (I'll post him in the rogues gallery after I finish this). Basically, is the party short on melee or on ranged combat. I must admit I think I might prefer playing the dwarf, just for the fun of playing a dwarf that can grapple CR 11 dragons. So that's my preference.

I think we're in desparte need of an archer. Gortag, Zykovian, and Zass'sk take care of the front-line stuff, while Grim and Alyshia are split magic and ranged combat. A dedicated archer would leave them free to concentrate on magic and stuff more.

Okay, then Eleth it is. I guess Tor the grappler will have to wait until another day (note to self, look for other PbP games to try him in, too good a character to waste).
Should I wait for an IC intro or just join in with Zazz'k's fight?
In general, Eleth will be traveling under the concealement of his shadowblend ability, so he'll stay at least 60' away from dragons (to stay out of blindsight). When he attacks, he'll move in 30 ft. and rapid shot so as to get his sneak attack.

I think what happened is that Alyshia did meet up with the group. Then when you guys went down the tunnel, Kilvash and my char continued on our search for peices of dead gods.
