I need to pick languages. Other than that, I think I'm ready. Suggestions on that front? I have him being from Karnath in his backstory, and having wandered around aimlessly for the last few years.

What kind of creatures did you deal with? Anyone from Droaam and such (Orc, Giant, Gnoll, etc)? Draconic and Undercommon are also some choices that fit your character...

I don't know the geography well enough to know who or what he might have dealt with in traveling from his homeland to... where ever we're starting.

I guess with the mass transit options available in Eberron, it could be about anything though, couldn't it?

Didn't the goblins once have a powerful empire in Eberron? I think I'll take Goblin as one. What the hell do the residents of Xoriat speak? It could be fun to know that.

Xoriat does not have a "language"... Daelkyr had their own language and said language "evolved" into Undercommon... IIRC...

Thanks Risada. OK, have a bit of a break (no tests for 2 days...). So I can do a bit more research. I'm thinking Undercommon, Daelkyr, Goblin, and Common.

Haha glad to know I'm not the only one dealing with exams.

It's my first year in medical school. I literally have 5 "tests" this week. Two are practical exams, so pretty easy demonstrations of physical techniques, but still... it's totally nuts.

I'm in the middle of my BA in English with a minor in Creative writing. Two massive lit essays last week and three exams this week, one in Spanish, means I feel your pain.

phaedrusxy · « **Reply #9 on:** December 10, 2013, 03:02:23 PM »

I fleshed out my backstory a bit more, to include him currently living in the "Cogs" of Sharn, making a living as an alchemist. I didn't include an alchemist's lab in his backstory or wealth, but I did include a lot of alchemical items in his inventory that were self-crafted (and so purchased at 1/3 market cost). I hope you don't mind.

geniussavant · « **Reply #10 on:** December 10, 2013, 03:46:16 PM »

No, I'll assume he used the lab of the shop he was working out of allowed him to use theirs. If you need further use of the shop, I'll allow it at the cost of 8 hours of shop tending per day of using the lab.

Well... Eberron is the only setting I can claim to know quite a bit, so I'm glad I could be of help.

How is Grey making the Dc 20 check to make his masterwork shapesand items?

Take 10. His bonus is +14 (or +12 without an alchemy lab). For DC 25+, he'd need an assistant (to Aid Another).

geniussavant · « **Reply #14 on:** December 10, 2013, 08:05:02 PM »

That's his bonus for craft alchemy, making the shapesand into the form of a weapon or shield or armor would take a craft: weaponsmithing or armor smithing respectively.

phaedrusxy · « **Reply #15 on:** December 10, 2013, 08:24:46 PM »

Oh that! You can craft untrained. So he could try over and over till he got it right (i.e. rolled high enough). As long as he never unshapes it, he should be OK.

geniussavant · « **Reply #16 on:** December 10, 2013, 10:05:13 PM »

"Should be" being slightly key.

Alright, I've got my sheet ported over. I've got 1120 gp left to spend, then I'll be all set.

Eh, it's just a buckler. I had one character who wore armor made out of shapesand.

Edit: Venn, I have a suggestion for your remaining gold (replacing a couple of your other items, probably):

Quote

Travel Cloak
Price: 1200 GP
Weight: 1#
(Magic of Faerun p. 166)
Provides trail rations 3/day, a flask that produces up to 2 gallons of cool water or sugared hot tea per day, endure elements against cold, and can be transformed into a one-person tent 1/day.

I had a golem made of shapesand one time. Once the Pcs realized the encounter went from almost unwinnable to ridiculously easy. It was great. The players talked about it for the rest of the campaign.
