Let's build characters! PM me for the link to the DNDBeyond campaign page I'm using. I'll also send you some Google Drive Files about Eberron.

My concept is of a young man who Idolises the stories of the Knights Arcane. This elite force operates primarily within the nation of Aundair, known for its dedication to blending martial prowess with arcane magic. The Knights Arcane embody the ideals of disciplined, magically skilled warriors who defend their homeland with valor and intelligence, wielding both weapons and spells to incredible effect.

I imagine that he has gotten his hands on teaching assistant tool, a book or similar that can teach him the basic about being a bladesinger, but not past the 5 level. So he has to find the real Knights Arcane to advance.

I want to give him some fanboy admiration towards this group he knows a little about. A bit like Po in Kongfu-panda

Worked with an AI to make an image of Kael Corren, a very young human Magewright

I have the new Frontiers of Eberron book and it has a few new backgrounds for 5e2024

Dragonmarks are backgrounds in 5e2024 that provides some abilities and spells.

Oh oh! I read this book, where, where the Knights Arcane had been operated near Salvation!

And I would really like to find them. I read that they were all armed with Sunblades, those are super cool weapons! I want one!

And... and I would like to know more about them.

Beside: Being a magewrite is boring! All I do is fix (magical) washing mashines.

Kael Corren
OOC:
That should be a good enough reason

thanks a lot! :D

Could you share the Orien Step - cantrip, please?

Edit: Found it. :)
Orien Step which lets you teleport into an adjacent square you can see as a bonus action. Orient Step cannot be learned normally, as it’s only available to those bearing the Mark of Passage.

But I'm also have many other idear, but luckily it wont be relevant before lev 4

Reading through the backgrounds, I wanted to ask if it is okay to change the skills provided by them.

Looking at Dragonmarked Bravo & Scion for my character atm.
Nov 19, 2024 2:56 pm
@soises We can talk about it. I'd want to know what changes you're going to make, but I'm open to it.

I took the House Agent Background from your beyond account and I am rather satisfied with the result. Trying now to get the Dragonmarked feat as a homebrew into the character, but haven't touched beyond in a great while.

As a human I get the Dragonmarked and a regular (alert, lucky, skilled, ...) origin feat, correct?
Nov 19, 2024 3:51 pm
No only one feat.

Or am I wrong about that? Let me look. Also let me see if anyone's homebrewed the Frontiers of Eberron feats.
Nov 19, 2024 3:55 pm
Found the dragonmark feats in the homebrew. Lesser Mark of Passage is what you need yeah?
Nov 19, 2024 4:07 pm
@soises Added the Lesser Mark of Passage and the Orien Step to my account, so you should be able to add them to your character.
Nov 19, 2024 4:11 pm
Exactly.

Not able to bring the homebrew feat into the beyond character sheet. :-/

I'll start as a fighter 1, before going warlock.

Would prefere the Dragonmarked Bravo background of the two, but would love to get the Acrobatics and Stealth skill instead of Athletics and Intimidation.

If I can get something useful instead of "one kind of Gaming Set" I would not be cross either. ;) Land Vehicles, Thieves' Tools, Navigator Tools, ...
Nov 19, 2024 4:18 pm
Navigator's Tools make the best sense to me. I'll allow the switch on the skills too. Let me work on the feat. Can you custom the background?
Nov 19, 2024 5:43 pm
This is my charactersheet that I have been tweaking since forever. Its updated to 2024 rules, with exhaustion effects ect.

Thinking I end up with a Swiftstride Shifter Rogue and a survivor of the Last War. Been plying his trade as a mercenary since the war ended.
Nov 20, 2024 4:15 pm
Seems like most of you are well versed or getting familiar with the setting. Anyone have any setting specific questions?
Nov 20, 2024 4:22 pm
Perhaps we should each answer a few key questions

Why are your character in Salvation?

What did you do in the war a few years ago?
