Puppy 12-18-04, 01:51 PM	I'm a player/DM, new to the game of Eberron, and already a junkie. I could use some help in starting off the party I'm dm'ing for. One of them is a NG warforged fighter (of course), as of now unnamed. The cool thing is, the player playing him doesn't like playing 'too good' characters, so he made him a pacifist (!), which means he can only fight to defend himself or his party. This character was also 'born' just a few months ago, so the character is also incredibly naive and gullable. The other player I have at the moment is a CN goblin rogue with tendencies towards lunacy. This guy has aspirations towards becoming a noble. I have two more players, but their characters are not quite ready, although I know one of them will become a Kalashtar psion of some sort. I could really use some hints on how to play these characters together, to make them meet each other. Thanks, and have a merry christmas!
Puppy 12-18-04, 02:12 PM	I forgot to specify that the party will start out in Sharn with the Forgotten Forge, and then move on to Shadows of the Last War. How do I get the party to hook up with each other before noticing the body on the bridge? On a different note :OMG! Have any of you ever seen a forum with this many cool smileys? I know I havent...
krappleby 12-18-04, 02:39 PM	i had the same sort of problem with my group. but after thinking about it i have aranged how it will work.. Players Lvl 4 Lycanthorp wearbear/specialist (smithy) Fighter warforge drow elf the drow elf is actually being played by a character that does not know eberron, and the character is from another campaign he played.. so the idea for this character was for him to somehow be teleported to eberron. the lycanthorpe is going to be chased by a group of paladins, who are always going to be on his tail, meaning he will have to keep moving. The warforged is seriously injured.. through fighting the plot is something like the followign 1. The Lycanthorpes, Smithy master.. will recieve a letter from the warforged home, stating they need help (the smithy is well known for his work on warforged) 2. The wearbear in his very recent background transformed and kills 2 people.. so roumers will spread and the paladins will turn up to seek out and destroy the beast if the roumers are true. 3 for safetly the wear bear will finally head to wards the warforges village to work on the warforge, hense getting them together. 4. During hte journey the drow will apear from nowhere, in front of the lycanthorpe.. and becasue of being new to hte realm will probably hang about.. That is the plot i am using,..
Gurv 12-18-04, 02:51 PM	Well, nothing says that the group has to be together when the encounter on the bridge occurs. Describe it from different vantage points. Maybe some of them don't notice until the fight has started. If you want them to meet before the bridge encounter, consider having the goblin picked on, due to their status as secondary citizens. How much of a lunatic is he? Shouldn't be hard to find a way to cause trouble with a CN rogue, and PCs always seem to feel the need to get involved. Another thought: the schema in the adventure is a enigma. Maybe you can tie your newborn warforged into it. A couple of months is incredibly young: was he made in Sharn? In that case, he might be some unwitting plant of Merrix d'Cannith, who somehow knows about the other Cannith agent in town. Or maybe he is a creation of the LoB... On a different note :OMG!

Pinky's brain 12-20-04, 07:55 AM	i had the same sort of problem with my group. but after thinking about it i have aranged how it will work.. Players Lvl 4 Lycanthorp wearbear/specialist (smithy) Wont he be slightly overpowered (and a long way away from levelling) compared to the other players?
ENHenry 12-20-04, 12:56 PM	Start them all as part of the same detective agency or mercenary company, based in Sharn. Alternately, they are all hired by House Cannith to escort the Dead Man to be because he is overdue for a meeting. On their way to his dwelling, they find him dead on the bridge about 20 blocks and levels away from his home!
jedi8187 12-20-04, 03:30 PM	If the goblin wants to be a nobel, maybe he hired the warforged as a body guard and didn't know he was a pacifist. Once your charecters are made try and have them come up with reasons why they know atleast one other member, after that its just a matter of friends hooking up.
