Need one more player for a 4th level Eberron game.

[ksbsnowowl]

Back in January an Eberron pbp started up.  Then the DM got sick and now he hasn't been here since February.
Although I was one of the players, I'm going to take over the DM reigns and keep this thing going (it really is a great and fun module).
Along the way we've lost another of the players, so I'm looking for one player to join in the fun as we ramp this story back up.

Phaedrus and Risada can attest to you that I'll keep a game going.

Here is the game's sub-forum, but it might also be a good idea to have a look at the original recruitment thread.  Geniussavant was pretty open about homebrew and whatnot, so I suppose I'll be the same in this case. 

Right now the party is composed of an Ardent/PsyWarrior, a homebrew Psion varient, a homebrew Flamespeaker, and my Goliath Barb/Crusader-turned-DMPC.  We had previously had a Warforged Artificer (the player that no longer has time for pbp).

So, if anyone is interested to get a taste for what Eberron can be, throw out an idea for a character and join in the fun.

[Stratovarius]

I'd love to hop in, and I'm not particularly picky about what type of character I am, if there's something the party needs. I also, somewhat obviously, have a fair amount of Homebrew, although I would probably go with something much more appropriate to Eberron. Plus, it would be nice not to be the DM like usual.

What's the CO level the game is aimed at?

[ksbsnowowl]

What's the CO level the game is aimed at?

Medium level.  Though the Psion variant having Mindsight and 100 ft telepathy probably pushes that phrase a bit (Mindsight is REALLY damn useful... in my experience, at least  )

[Stratovarius]

Information is always a wonderful thing. Especially when it ignores Invis and other protections.

I'm actually rather tempted by a summoning focused druid (cliche and powerful, I know). I've always been a sucker for petmaster builds, and I get the feeling a Thrallherd or Necromancer variant wouldn't really fit the party. Or maybe actually a Spirit Shaman, since that would be a little more balanced.

Hmm. What's the desert region in Eberron? And not the Mournland, but actual desert. Thinking of heading down a desert focused Spirit Shaman/Sand Shaper route, using the power of the desert to protect himself and bring about change in the world. With a long term IC desire to spread it.

[SolEiji]

I know you're only looking for one player (and Stratovarius looks like he's got it in the bag).  I am curious though, hope you don't mind me sticking my head in all curious like.

Eberron is the pre-made setting I know best (but I still wouldn't say "well").  Anyway just thought I'd let you know I'm here.

[ksbsnowowl]

Druid or Spirit Shaman, either is fine by me.

I'll have to look up what the desert section is; off the top of my head, I think it is the Taletia Halflings who ride dinos...

[Stratovarius]

Those are more the plains rather than the desert, aren't they? Which part of the setting is the campaign taking place in, by the way?

[VennDygrem]

The most prominent desert in Khorvaire is the Blade Desert. Per the wiki, "The Blade Desert is a vast expanse of desert that forms a border between the Talenta Plains in the north and Valenar in the south, stretching from the Mournland in the west and hugging the northwestern slopes of the Endworld Mountains and the Ironroot Mountains in the east."

There are also a variety of deserts in Xen'drik, though that continent is largely unexplored.

If I remember correctly, I believe the adventure is starting in Sharn. We're also at a perfect place to introduce new characters.

[ksbsnowowl]

Yes, the action is currently in Sharn.

It sounds like Venn answered the desert question, but I'll check the campaign setting to confirm.

Edit: yep, it is in the east, forming the border between Valenar and the Talenta Plains:

[Risada]

What? A dinosaur-riding halfling druid of DOOM?

Must have hunting mask or GTFO 

Seriously now... Druid or Spirit Shaman would help immensely... Since the party lacks divine magic.

[phaedrusxy]

What's the CO level the game is aimed at?

Medium level.  Though the Psion variant having Mindsight and 100 ft telepathy probably pushes that phrase a bit (Mindsight is REALLY damn useful... in my experience, at least  )

And full incorporealness next level, though it does cost me 1 manifester level, and I'm locked into being a Telepath.

Edit: Never mind... I can't read.

[ksbsnowowl]

Edit: Never mind... I can't read.

Well, now I'm curious what I missed...

I thought I'd made his Cha 16 and Int 14, but had looked at it wrong. They're both 16 (which while odd for a psion... isn't completely nuts ).

I think this is the only psionicist that I've EVER not used the Psicrystal Affinity + Share Pain + Vigor combo on. I guess I thought incorpeality was enough of a defense. We'll see if I was right.

Edit: It's worth noting (again) that we are using SirP's variant on enchanting weapons and armor, where you don't actually "pay" for basic enhancement bonuses. They come for free with special weapon/armor abilities. So if you buy a "Warning dagger", it works like a +1 Warning Dagger, but only costs 2000 gp (same as a basic +1 dagger)... Unless KSB decides to change the rules on how characters were built.

I'm really looking forward to playing this. This character was one that I'd really liked the concept behind, and wanted to play (so much that I've cloned different aspects of him in other characters that I've made since ).

[VennDygrem]

I'm also looking forward to playing this. I reappropriated the basic class for another character since this one seemed to be dead (my character in Tainted World), though that one's more focused on being a caster with a variety of control spells and abilities. I'm really looking forward to pushing the aspects of this character being much more direct, bold, and assertive, and having a chance to mix it up more in melee. I get the idea I won't get to do that as much in the other game.

[ksbsnowowl]

I'd like to start up again sometime this first week of June, so the earlier someone gets me a character build to approve, the better 

In reference to Phaedrus' implied question, no, I'm not going to change the rules by which characters were built.
IIRC, Characters are 32 point buy.

[SolEiji]

Wait, does that mean you're looking for more than 1 person?

[ksbsnowowl]

I'm looking for one person, but I also don't want to wait two weeks for someone to get their character together.  If there are multiple characters proffered by... Tuesday, I'll select one, and he'll join.  If there's only one by then, that individual will get chosen by default.

[SolEiji]

Hmm, while I feel I may be an inferior pick (and don't want to compete with Strato anyway) should I run my idea by you anyway?  Since I don't feel confident in my Eberron lore I was thinking of playing a warforged who was given the task to mine.  And mine he did.  For a very long time.  After all, no one told him to stop.  But his original creators have already passed on.  By the time he accidentally dug back to the surface, he finally realized how much time had passed and that he had no new orders.  After mulling it over and probably several unsuccessful attempts at getting re-employment as a miner he decided since he was now free he'll have to do something.  Well, money is power, so he's heard so first thing first he's on a quest to get money yet has no idea what end goal he's getting money for.

So yeah, warforged with a pickaxe was the idea.  Probably focused on sundering or digging or mining related things of any sort.

[ksbsnowowl]

One other important bit (geniussavant was a bit scatter-brained about doling out character creation info in the original thread), hit points will be determined thusly:
Full hit points at hd 1, average (1/2 die size plus .5) after level 1.

So long as he's done some actual adventuring in the interim, which might have piqued the interests of potential employers (and I doubt mining would have gotten you to 4th level  ) that's fine by me.  The adventuring requirement has more to do with the hook than anything else (if you read the game thread, you'll start to see why).
