#1 maddreamer Mar 11, 2011 21:04:53	Hi board ! I want to create themes for eberron and would like some inspiration from the community. My first idea is to create them according to the character archetype from 3.5 Player's guide to Eberron : - Chronicler - Devotee of the Host - House Renegade - House Scion - Innocent Victim - Inquisitive - Outlander - Restless Wanderer - Scholar-Adventurer - Streetwise Scoundrel - War-torn hero   Some of them don't seem to fit into any of the power source though

Power source...you mean martial, arcane, divine, etc.?  I don't think each of those themes would be associated with a particular power source.  For example, if you wanted to play a war-torn hero, almost any class and power source could be made a good fit.  In Eberron, a wizard (arcane) could be considered a soldier, as well as a paladin (divine), or even a rogue (martial). Take chronicler. In Eberron, chroniclers are essentially essentially reporters. But that says nothing about how you adventure or how you fight. A fey-pact warlock could be a chronicler, serving as a "double agent" for the Korranberg Chronicles as well as feeding some choice stories back to his fey associates. So what is it you're really trying to figure out?

Those are my suggestions anyway.  ;)
