09-19-06, 02:46 AM My character is a House Cannith Artificer that follows The Traveler. I was wondering what everyone’s opinion would be on taking the Martial Weapon Proficiency feat to get proficiency in the scimitar (The Travelers chosen weapon). I know it is not the best route for optimization but it could be pretty nifty. Also does anyone have any ideas on roleplaying a character like this that follows a Dark Six god? How would you effectively roleplay a Chaotic Neutral alignment? Thanks for any input!

09-19-06, 09:40 AM First at all, following the Traveller doesn't mean being CN, or even C anything, this is eberron, even cleric of the traveller can be any alignement, let imagine followers.
But I think I'd play it as the Mad scientist archetype , maybe a little like doc Brown from "Back to the Future"

Do you know Terry Pratchetts Leonardo da Quirm? I imagine him much like that, only less naive.

I know it does not mean that I would have to be CN, I just want to play CN. I was just wanting some guidance flavor wise and stuff. Thanks for the input so far everyone!

Remember the Traveller is not a god of war, and you exalt him through your incredible works and the change you bring to the world, rather than the weapon you wield.
As a smith, making scimitars would probably bring you closer to the divinity of the Traveller than fighting with them.

That is, of course, unless I'm contradicted by Faiths of Eberron. Oh well.
