[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 9110187, member: 19675"] My 1st 4Ed PC was a Dwarven Starlock/Psion. I made up a background for him and his clan and showed it to the DM. It wasn’t like anything he’d come up with, but didn’t disrupt is setting, either. So he approved it. Clan Skyhammer had a vow to protect their world from incursions from the Far Realms. They knew that the streaking lights in the sky heralded one of two things: a deposit of starmetal to be gathered and refined, or an “egg” of unreality sent from the Far Realms. Because of this, Clan Skyhammer migrated to and settled the highest of mountaintops to support their mission. Many of their people watched the sky for signs of starfalls and other things. Others trained to go into the world to combat whatever incursions they could find. Some “fought fire with fire”, and made warlock pacts with beings from outside realities, or followed the path of psionic force. Magnus did both. (Tangentially, Clan Skyhammer’s culture heavily favored percussion instruments of fire, stone or refined metals- lithophones, xylophones, chimes, triangles, cymbals, gongs, crystal bowls, pyrophones, steel drums, etc. Their musical instruments & style led them to invent the campaign world’s version of capoeira.)
