Character Creation

1. Characters are Level 8 (not 7 as previously advertised)

2. Use any class and race from published sources and Keith Baker's Eberron books Morgrave Miscellany and Exploring Eberron. All optional features from Tasha's are go. You can select from most Backgrounds but not setting-specific backgrounds outside of Eberron (like the Ravnica Guilds).

WARNING: Magic will be affected in usual ways when you are near the Ring of Siberys, making it more powerful but also more unpredictable. If this kind of randomness isn't your thing, you may want to steer clear of casters this time around.

3. Stats are to be determined with 4d6 drop lowest. In addition, roll 2d6 and consult the Safety Net table below. You may choose to use your 4d6 rolled stats or your safety net array.This system is taken from D&D author Brandes Stoddard's blog. If you are are highly adverse to random stats, I don't mind if you want to choose to use point buy(27), but all the safety net stat arrays are above what you can do with point buy(27).

4. Equipment: any mundane items are free for the taking, including Full Plate and silvered weapons. Additional magic items will be determined from which patron the group chooses (see separate thread). We are not keeping track of encumbrance but be reasonable.

5. Starting Wealth: This game is just a single mission, not a whole campaign. Just like the Apollo astronauts didn't take their wallets to the moon, we'll leave our purses in a House Kundarak bank or under our mattress back home on Eberron.

I love rolling!

Edit: And I love falling into the safety net! I will take the result #8: 17, 14, 12, 11, 10, 10

Rollin' rollin' rollin'...

EDIT: Rolled stats look like:

11
12
18
14
9
11

Safety net is: 18, 13, 13, 10, 10, 8.

I'll go with the rolled stats.

Rolling makes me nervous. :P Here we go!

12, 14, 14, 11, 13, 14... or #11.

I'll use my lifeline and go with #11.

INT 18
CON 14
DEX 11
WIS 10
STR 10
CHA 8

Forgot to add that I'll be making a Warforged Life Cleric!

Warforged Graviturgist Wizard for me!

*lol* I was considering a warforged grave cleric!

Let's make this an all Warforged party... except for one fleshy who the rest of us look down on for being made of frail meat. :P

*lol*

Well, I hadn’t planned on making a Warforged character, so there’s that, I guess?

Perhaps you’re out "handler". Maybe we are like the Bad Batch from The Clone Wars cartoon?

I was also thinking of making a Kalashtar barbarian or something.

Yep, we're in the brainstorming phase, so share all your suggestions and of course none of them are binding.

Kalashtar Barbarian sounds interesting Hero, any particular subclass that you have in mind?

I had been toying with the idea of a rogue with ties to organized crime trying to go straight. Not sure about race or any of that, but certainly a face-type character, the "person who can get you things".

For the utility aspect, bear totem warrior. But I haven’t explored other options, really.

Rolling stats!!!

4d6 - ( 5, 5, 6, 5 ) = 21 - 5 = 16
4d6 - ( 2, 5, 5, 1 ) = 13 - 1 = 12
4d6 - ( 6, 5, 5, 1 ) = 17 - 1 = 16
4d6 - ( 5, 1, 3, 6 ) = 15 - 1 = 14
4d6 - ( 3, 5, 6, 5 ) = 19 - 3 = 16
4d6 - ( 1, 3, 3, 5 ) = 12 - 1 = 11

I’m taking the rolled stats!
Safety Net - (2d6)
( 4, 2 ) = 6

I have an operative in mind, much inspired by Thorn of Breland. Even if she properly is an Arcane Trixter, I'm going for a Creation Bard with an Auditor background.
As for rase, I have been considering dragonmark of making or wait for it.... warforged


Result: 9,6,9,14,13,11 :( Im going with the safty net!
#7: 17, 15, 12, 11, 10, 8

I looked closer at each barbarian subclass, and I’m actually leaning heavily towards wild magic barbarian for a kalashtar character.

Woohoo, we get roll d3s! Seems like a fun class, I'll be interested to hear what you think of it if you end up playing it. If you want to learn into the psychic nature of the Kalashtar, you can reflavour the magic surges as psionic surges if you wish.
