Hello I'm fairly new to these boards... well actually this will be my first post on the wizards boards... but that is aside from the point. Alright now currently I'm playing in an Ebberon campaign with a 5th level warlock that for all in-game roleplaying purposes is a naruto-style ninja (I call all of my invocations jitsu's and the use of them drains my chakra... which can never actually be fully drained XD). The only problems I've been having is where the hell did my character come from in Ebberon. I'm not familiar with Ebberon at all... with the exception of my knowledge on warforged and artificers. My character needs to come from a small monestary somewhere.. cause.. well it's easier if I just give some background info I guess : Sarius Arathi "Myst" 5th Lawful Evil Human Level Warlock Invocations : Devils sight, Spiderwalk, Beguiling Influence(or something like that. The one that gives +6 to bluff, intim, and diplo), A wand of darkness (He pretends he can cast the spell for now. His Cohort will do it for him later) Feats : Nymphs Kiss, Mulilingual (one feat saved for improved cohort) Languages : Everything except Druidic Skills : Bluff +21, Diplomacy +15, Intimidate +23, Use Magic Device +15, +1 Knowledge (Arcana), +1 Knowledge (Planes), +5 reputation (Exhile) Background : Sarius was an orphan from the long wars of Ebberon (pick one) and was taken in by a monestary which served a just feudal lord focused on the survival of heritige and culture. Sarius was brought into the monestary at the age of 3 and assigned to a master for when he reached the age of 10 to begin monk training. During his childhood Sarius was obsessed with books, reading everything he could filling his little head with knowledge on everything, mainly languages. When Sarius reached the age of 10 his monk training began. However after roughly 3 weeks of training under his master Xang Dukante and his two peers, Nara Melandris and Kerin Solra, Sarius' master died of old age. Now the monestary lacked spare teachers at this time and because they stick to what they call the rule of the three (no more then 3 students under 1 master at any time) they were forced to call back a previous student to help out until a new master could be obtained. The ex-student Zandra Kovalre was selected to assist the new students with thier studies. Somewhat reluctant to teach the new students Zandra only accepted the task due to her responsibilties as a member of the monestary, or at least so it seemed. Over a period of 6 months Zandra taught her students very little and purposely frustrated them with a massive lack of progress. To make up for this Zandra proposed the students and her go on a spiritual journey for awareness and enlightenment, with the permission of the monestary. The journey ended up taking the students to an abandoned shrine where Zandra slowly corrupted them over a period of five years. The training involved seeking extreme powers at the cost of sealing a demon inside yourself. For the sealing to be permanant a price had to be paid which was to kill someone you cared about, perferably your best friend in order to align yourself and allow the demon to become part of you (Yes I was having an Itachi moment... leave me be :P). Nara killed Kerin the day after she learned of this and gained her first invocation that day, Devils sight which changed the color of her eyes to red when activated. Sarius returned to the monestary and killed his best friend Sara Hy'ra who didn't resist (completly stunned by Sarius' actions) gaining devils sight almost immediatly. However his skills were not based on stealth and he was discovered with Sara dead at his feat by another student. A battle ensued where Sarius barely escaped and had his monestary emblem and face scarred. Upon leaving the monestary Sarius became branded as an Exhile and adopted the Alias of "Myst" to better match his new found powers. Battle style : 1st round : Cast darkness using wand or intimidate the leader of opposing group (eventually darkness will be cast by a cohort) 2nd round : Climb a surface and start blasting things or hide in the darkness and start blasting things 3rd round : Blast some more 4th round : (most combat should be almost over at this point) try to keep at least 1 member of the opposing force alive if possible. For which to give a speech about how weak they are and how they don't have enough hate to survive and how they should cling to life or blast things some more Future plans for build : At 6th level Myst will gain leadership and improved cohort recruiting Nara to assist him. Myst's 7th lvl will be Ninja, 8th will be Rogue followed by Arcane Trickster (DM ruling) at 9th. Nara is a Neutral Evil Human Warlock 2, Fighter 3 who just takes improved toughness for every single feat (DM allowed stacking for it) and has around 86 hitpoints Things I need : I need a place where there is a monestary and some kind of a shrine nearby (day or two journey) or perhaps an issolated place where we can just sort of say "This exsists here because nothing else seems to be here". My DM doesn't want to deal with where my character comes from, cause he has enough to deal with already with 7 PC's in the party (most of them being Rogues and Rangers). I'd figure this kind of information out myself except for a few small problems. 1 I don't know enough about Ebberon. 2 I don't have any of the Ebberon books. 3 I really wanted to post something :P Oh and while were at it any comments on the actual character?... oh and before I forget Images of the characters! Images!!! ZOMG lazer gun pew pew pew (http://www.geocities.com/rpgstarcraftkat/DnD/Characters.html)
