Aug 06, 2009 9:54:22 DBlizzard has suggested a group effort to apply some Eberron goodness to the various supplements. Has it's the only one of the power series I have I decided to tackle it.

Cunning Prevaricator: A few courtiers have taken the art of diplomacy and lies to a whole new extreme. Infusing their lies and half-truths with magic, allowing their agents to pass unnoticed. House Phiarlan has adopted similar tactics, A cunning Prevaricator distracts the target with promises and stories, while shrouded accomplices move in for the fatal strike.

Euphonic Bow: The Greensingers have long enjoyed the Bardic tradition, and some of their favorites are the rare Euphonic Bow. Supposedly trained by agents of the feywild to combine their magic and archery to beautiful, if not deadly, results.

Grave Caller: House Thurani has spent many years trying to assert themselves in the arts and entertainment industry, and the assassination game. They may have finally found a way with their Grave Callers, "non-existant" bard assassins.

Lyrander (Half-Elf) Emissary: You are chosen to ride aboard the great airships and galleons of House Lyrander. Perhaps you are a captain, or some other office. Maybe, your job is only to talk and negotiate at port. WHatever your other duties, you represent your house across the world making new deals, and making sure every missions goes as smoothly as it can.

Karmic Shaper: Your study of the ancient warriors has piqued your interest in the Draconic Prophecy. Perhaps you now study it, or perhaps you are inspired to dabble in new magic, but no matter the path you have learned to turn fate to your advantage, helping you and hurting your enemies. (Alternatively this could be used for Bards who worship Olladra)

Life Singer: No one knows where it started, but towards the end of the Last War battle fields often called a strange sect of bards. Calling themselves Life Singers they called for truce, hoping to bring peace to the land by inspiring the soldiers not to fight. Many lost their lives when their recitations were not heeded. The tradition persists into the new age hoping to inspire peace amongst nation and a return to the united Galifar.

Blizzard Mage: The dwarves of the Mror holds have long kept ancient traditions alive, and Blizzard Mages are one such tradition. The original purpose of the ancient blizzard mages was to protect communities of dwarves in the Frostfell. Ages have past and now the rare dwarven sorcerer may take up this path, to punish enemies of his clan rather than to protect his own.

Celestial Scholar: Universities teach many subjects to it's students, and astronomy is often a popular subject for those looking to understand the world. This teaching has led many talented mages to the path of the Celestial Scholar, one who draws strength from the heavens themselves.

Dragon Guardian: On Argonensen sorcerers are far more common then any other arcane caster. Some of these even claim their power comes from the dragons themselves. The dragons laugh at this, but even they must give pause in sight of the Dragon Guardians, devoted sorcerers who would give their lives to protect the shores of their masters.

Essence Mage: Essence Mages are rare, luckily. Most scholars don't know where these beings of such power come from. This is unfortunate as the only thing that is known about them is as rare as they are, a majority of them seem to come from students at Morgrave University.

Lightning Fury: House Lyrander as many interests to protect, and not enough marked scions to fill the need. Many unmarked members of the house take up the mantle of Lighting Fury, guards for the house heads, important visitors, and important cargo. A few are even sent out to protect house interests across Khorvaire.

Primordial Chanter: Some sorcerers have learned to tap into chaotic energies, they get their powers naturally and spend even less time studying than most sorcerers. And some of these take it too far. Calling on powers beyond their understanding these sorcerers push themselves to find more. Rumors about that these powerful mages may be tapping to power more like a warlock then they are comfortable with.

Arcane Hunter: The valenar are the most common swordmages on Khorvaire, and they have created many styles. Arcane Hunters favor a style of precision and variety. They adapt to each opponent, and often play the role of tactician in battle.

Ghost Blade: Members of Cairdal Blades practice many styles of combat, and the ancient elven tradition of swordmage is a favorite. A few have learned to watch the incorporeal undead, rare but not unheard of, and use their abilities to immulate them while fighting. This practice has been around for centuries. and both houses of shadow mark have kept the tradition for their own superior agents.

Sage of Fate' Bonds: Many sowrdmages spend their free time researching; sometimes new sword play, perhaps a new spell, or maybe something more powerful. Your study of magic has led you to an understanding of the Prophecy, or at least some parts. You know your are a path to your destiny, and now have power to remove or punish those who would stand in your way.

Sigil Carver: The swordmage tradition may have started with the Eladrin, or maybe the elves, but whatever the origin it is now spread across the world and many races have created their own styles. The Sivis Sigil Carvers are one such style. The sigil carvers are used as guards for libraries or important documents in transit. They may look weak at first, but you'd be a fool to underestimate a gnome wielding a rune covered soul.

Sword of Assault: Another valenar tradition, the Swords of Assault move with purpose. They do not hesitate to strike when given the chance. Weather they are guards, or on the front line of battle they should be feared and respected, unless you wish to end up dead in one swing.

Ward Guardian: Aereneal family guards who favor the swordmage path often learn to use their powers more defensively than other traditions. They are most often favorite guards for emissaries to foreign lands, and even the Sibiling Rulers because of their integration of sword, magic, and defense.

I will work on thes rest later, or someone else feel free to take over. Also feel free to comment and discuss.

Aug 06, 2009 22:25:51 Dark Reckoner: The deals you've made with creatures lurking in Khyber have tainted you with a furious rage. Their vendettas have become yours. You tap into the rage they have taught you, and with it comes great power, a power that may yet consume you.

Entrancing Mystic Warlocks are strange and mysterious beings. The common folk don't know much about the pacts these people choose, just that they are imposing and intimidating figures. This is so entrenched in the populace's mind that few realize the Entrancing Mystics are warlocks. Be they members of royal courts, diplomats, or even performers, these warlocks are quite impressive to behold.

God Fragment: I'm tempted to say this class should be left out. However I'm working on a way to them instead to bound Raja Overlords. May update this later.

Hellbringer: No matter the source of an infernal pact, power is great awaits those willing to make the sacrifice. And a bigger sacrifice means a bigger reward. And in a world torn by strife, facing a nation of monsters, beings of madness, or ancient horrible evils, maybe just maybe eternal damnation is the lesser of two evils.

Hexer: No ideas for anything specific for this class, and none is really needed.

Master of the Starry Night: A student of the stars may find great knowledge hidden among the nights sky. The students and researcher of Arcanix have an extra resource to study such secrets with their observatory. Some have used these secrets to exploit uncharted power.

Sea Tyrant Oracle: Not sure still working on retooling the various vestiges, look for an update later on.

Storm Scourge: Warlocks who draw their powers from the fey find welcome homes among the Greensingers in Eldeen Reaches. Those favored by the Greensingers may be introduced to any of a number of powerful fey. One in particular has taken an interest in many a young warlock, the Lord of Lightning.

Arcane Wayfarer: House Orien has seen many use for teleportation over the years, and don't always have a portal in the right place. Weather a remote destination or a popular with a portal broken during the last war Orien has found the solution: Arcane Wayfarers. They have also proven useful fight more than once.

Bonded Summoner: Little needs changing for this class. May add more later.

Hermetic Saboteur : Heremtic Saboteur's started amongst the arcane, and mischeif, inclined gnomes. Few outsider understood the point in wasting the power on pranks, but House Kundarak saw great potential to protect their vaults.

Rimetongue Caller: Having studied the Elemental Chaos, you have learned what power the elements can bring. You have combined this with your study of summoning magic, to create even more powerful creatures. (It would be my suggestion to allow element swaping at the adoption of the path.

Unseen Mage: House Phiarlen has mastered many means of stealth for their less savory endeavors over the years. Perhaps their best is the Unseen mages, a sect of wizards dedicated to striking from anywhere with no warning.

Weaver of Chance: Most mages pay respect to Aureon, but a select few follow Olladra. Each has their own reasons, but all use magic the requires a little luck knowing there patron will see them through.

Aug 08, 2009 17:38:43 Rajah pact is pretty much gold, and if I wasn't DMing my next Eberron game, or holding onto a Thaneborn Halfling for a rainy day, I'd so be all over it.

I'm having problems converting them, but when I do convert the vestiges, a few of the more powerful ones will be Rajah's in disguise, but I think most will be a mixture.
