08-21-07, 01:54 PM I am having writer's block, and I need a reason for a Warforged to be an adventurer. This will not be his real background. He is really working for the Lord of Blades, but the other characters are not allowed to know this.

The player did not make the first session, and I will have him meet the party in Thrane.

08-21-07, 10:59 PM Whenever someone asks, give them this reason - "The only way to properly find your place in the world is to know as much about the world as possible. I wish to discover as much as possible until I find my place in the world."

I dunno... its sort of a little too logical, but it might work for a time. It's something i can see a warforged saying at any rate.

Peace

08-21-07, 11:05 PM Here's an idea - have him claim to have been left in a small outpost with only the orders "stay here, don't let anyone but me through - and... uh.... keep yourself busy!" After six years of polishing weapons, going through basic books on military practice, whittling, and doing repairs on the tiny guardhouse, he was informed that the war was long since over, and he needed to vacate. The mountain pass was now unstable, and they were clearing the area via controlled rockslides. Pass him off as naive, sheltered, and very focused.

Now next time I'll see a new Warforged PC, I will wonder, is it his real background???
