Inverted Pyramid is done, though I could use some more ideas on it.

Um... soon?  My crew of helper-gnomes seems to have disappeared... as is their right, it's my job to finish, I just feel daunted :p

Understandable.  I guess I shouldn't complain too much, it gives me an excuse to not be finished yet.   :D

Oh, hey, I can help if you're looking for ideas. I should honestly be writing up all my research from this summer, but I have until Friday to do that. :P

Well, I don't want to keep you from your work... but I'd love some help along the lines of what TL & Garryl were giving before. :)

I don't know all that much about affiliations but I will give them a look once I have finished all those planar dragon ideals

Could you spoiler all of the Affiliations?  Maybe just have the pic and Affiliation name un-spoilered?  That'll make finding the one you need mucho easier.

Also, for the Killravens, having ranks in Move Silently doesn't get you a bonus (whereas Hide does), but it is a penalty if you have no ranks.  Is that intentional?

Will do.  There will also be a Table of Contents in the first post.

I collected a bunch of ideas for the Calaspers.  Can anyone help sort them out, particularly based on what I've done already?  I want them to be distinct from the Killravens as much as possible.

As per our discussion, add a Sniper's Demoralizing Shot ACF to Killraven bonus.

Looks that way. Well, mostly. I don't have the same interest I had initially, but if you point me towards an affiliation I'll see what I can get you.

Can you take a look at the Calasper stuff I threw at the wall and see what stuck?

OK, Calaspers are done.  I'm going to do Chorrun Char next.

Ideas:
1. Dragonblood is required for the affiliation so have Dragon Type give a bonus and True Dragon give a larger bonus.
2. Dragons love treasure so something there would work. Not sure what though.
3. Breath Weapon damage could add bonuses

Have this already.

Hm... that could work, maybe.  I'll have to see if I can come up with something flavorful but not broken.

I'm hesitant to make it based on damage, but I already have the presence of a breath weapon granting a boost.

Bonuses for Idealist classes, naturally.
Penalty for having neither a flight speed nor a breath weapon. Dragons probably look down on the lesser landwyrms.


What are some of the Chorrun Char's motivations, other "we're dragons, yarr"?

Edit: How about some Eberron Dragon Prophecy feats?
Edit2: ++ for pinning some act of sedition on the Calaspers.
