Agents of the Twelve

I'm considering a Dwarf Rogue 3/Focused Specialist Abjurer 1 going into Silver Key.
Go House Kundarak!

Alright. I read your rules and I'm just clarifying I understand them but am asking for an exception.

You said no LA buy off- that's fine- you also said no size larger than Medium. The nature of PbP is that this campaign will probably hit Level 5 and conclude- unless you've some method of rushing level progression.

I'm asking for a weird favor.

Unless any other applicant disagrees- let me play a Warforged Charger. The loyal, faithful and powerful "Attack dog" of the group. It's LA+4, the HD, BAB and AC granted from the race will keep me alive, the high Con and High Strength will ensure I can kill what I need to, the large size will let me pin down dangers.

I'm not asking for anything other than to allow the Warforged Charger as my "Class" for this game. If the game does level up I'll take Barbarian to negate my speed penalties.

I'll look for solid reasons to be loyal and faithful to my comrades- perhaps if ones an artificer I could also have been created within the group?

The roleplay-ability here is....amazing. And I'd love it if you could step back from the rules and assess it on the level of how awesome it would be for the group to be protected by a giant warforged "Guard dog"

In case you wanted to judge it for merit, the below is an example of the pure mechanics of it; 28 point buy with racial traits added and minused.

I intend to play him as a newly created construct (low intelligence) with almost no interaction with the world or its citizens (low charisma)- who doesn't understand his own strength or power (huge strength and constitution). He's not "Dumb" and doesn't speak in "Me hit big thing now" he just.... doesn't grasp things well yet. His faithful beyond all rhyme and reason though- and would remain loyal to his group through anything.

Finally, will you be having flaws and traits at all?

On a side note, I know I'm listed in a lot of games, but most of them are dead. I have a resistance to taking a character out of a game, so the only way they drop of my list is when they are archived.

Elf Dilettante is a perfectly acceptable feat for use but not for the free feat in the game. That free feat is specifically to help Eberronize your character. In general for the core races it was designed to allow a player to take a Dragonmark feat. You could also take something like Right of Counsel as well. As to subraces, no I wasn't planning on using any of the core subraces (Gray, High, etc). I like the way Elves are written/statted for Eberron.

That sounds right up my alley. I've got no special attachment to Pathfinder's, I just wanted to make it clear that such a thing existed in a system that's close to 3.5 if nothing else. I don't have Faiths of Eberron unfortunately, but if Sillaric approves of it, hopefully I can get the basic information.

Thanks Snark, this is how I would recommend doing it as well!

No on Racial Paragons. I could be persuaded to look into Guilds but I leave the door open to denying you later on. Let me know what you have in mind!

So, I can't take her as a Gray Elf... oops, that's how I listed her in the title of her application thread. A point though. None of the other elves have any sub race characters at all (meaning that as far as I can tell, they have cultural variation - but aside from the Drow, they have no different characteristics between them... and nothing special is listed for Khorvaire elves at all.

Also, what about flaws and traits?

Awesome. Do you have Faith of Eberron so I know how much it costs/what it changes if anything? My original thought was a monk due to the arm being more like a claw, but I could see flavor making that a shield of sorts while he uses his normal arm for one-handed weapons.

Sillaric, posted a question about warforged charger. I know, I know- but do read my proposal first

Sorry about that Epicosity. I meant to answer this last time. Go ahead and write something up. My biggest issue is with the logistical issue of Large PCs...but blow me away with your app and I'll see what I can do.

No on Traits and Flaws, sorry. Yes that is accurate in terms of differences between elves and I think that is precisely what Keith and James wanted with this world. I love the subraces of FR and how they are used but I like the fact that all elves in Eberron are essentially descendents of the same people (the escaped slaves of Xen'drik's giant overlords).

CG, see your PM box!

Thanks, I'll ask any questions about it there. =)

Wiz · Nov 12 '12, 9:16am

Well, perhaps I should seriously consider a different character then. Let me sleep on it and perhaps I'll have a different application up in the morning.

Animunculi · Nov 12 '12, 10:03am

I'm thinking of playing a kalashtari thoughtsinger, which is a psionic bard variant by Keith Baker. It has better flavor than the ordinary bard to me.

Is that something you would allow, Sillaric?
