Re: OOC - Character Development

Development
Paragon Path: Battle Engineer (Eberron Player's Guide)
Epic Destiny: Planeshaper

Phelan has always been interested in learning, creating and improving. This in itself will slowly manifest throughout becoming a Battle Engineer to even better support his allies by improving their weaponry and armour in combat.

Eventually his need to create, and to improve, will manifest in shaping his own plane from an astral seed. A sort of haven for the Narayah if they ever need it. One where they might eventually find the cure if it has not yet been found.

Thinking of getting a Familiar later on once I've paid my feat taxes.

Look into Potent Restorables, Battlewise, Improved Defences

Re: OOC - Character Development

Development:

Paragon Path: Questing Knight
Epic Destiny: Legendary Sovereign

Having learned of the legend of Conflict's End and what it actually was, Jubei realized that it was his duty to pursue it, for it was something that not only other adventurers, but even the dragons, the old masters of his kind, failed to acquire. If he managed to claim it, he would once and for all prove that he was able to weild considerable power.

Then of course comes the time when he demands the proper recognition for such a feat, which is readily given by some, and less readily by others. Regardless one of the many thrones of the crystal isles becomes his to take.

Or something like this <.< Felt like it would nicely fit together with what ocurred thus far in the story.

Gear:
Immediate choices, nothing long term yet

Weapon:
Vigilant Blade lvl 4 (D381)

Implement:
Symbol of the Champion's Code lvl 8

Armor:
screaming plate armor lvl 2

Other:
Battleforged Towershield lvl 4
Acrobat boots lvl 2
Breaching gauntlets lvl 6
Belt of Vigour lvl 2

Leveling History:

Level 2:
Encounter/Utility: Call of Challenge
Feat: Devout Protector Expertise

Level 3:
Encounter: Righteous Smite

Level 4:
Feat Swift Recovery

Level 6:
Virtue
Deliverance of Faith


Story elements:

Included:
Something in the regards to "This country is mine" :I

Excluded:
I have no idea

Re: OOC - Character Development

Development

Paragon Path: Ardent Champion
Epic Destiny: Demigod

As a Avenger Drex protects the Aurelian Pantheon's Domains. The Aurelian Pantheon is gods of Civilization if I remember right, so doing task to protect and uphold Civilization (in a physical and Philosophical sense) and the people who helps to propel there civilization to greatness...

Civilization- Not just the physical manifestation there of but also the intangible laws, morals and values there of (The virtues of the gods).

He would also like to find out information about his parents, are they dead like he thinks or is there more to it? My idea of who and what Drex is has evolved and I think that Drex would be bound by his past and would affect the way he acts and interacts with the wold and it inhabitants, but fining out about his parents feels out of place so I dropped it.

Re: OOC - Character Development

Development

Paragon Path: Student of Caiphon (Dragon Magazine 366)
 - First a Far God, now a star?  Just why do all these great powers keep taking such a keen interest in Willa?

Epic Destiny: Lord of Chaos (Heroes of Elemental Chaos)
 - Ah, so that's what it was!  The essence of an ancient, sorcerous Reigar resides within her.  At the moment of death, aeons ago, it spawned the birth of a lowly Umbrean.  A smidgen of its being became trapped within that small gelatinous creature and has been carried forward ever since via the constant recycling of Umbrean bodies.  Now, Willa is set to inherit its legacy...

Gear

Main Hand:


Off-Hand:
Rod of Corruption Level 3+ Common

Head:
Helm of seven deaths (level 5 item)


Neck:
Resplendent Cloak +2 Level 8
You and each ally within 10 squares of you gain a +2 bonus to Will against charm, fear, and illusion attacks


Hands
Gauntlets of Blood Level 4
Deal +2 damage to bloodied targets

Arms:
Bracers of Brachiation Level 5
You gain a climb speed equal to half your ground speed, and you can swing through the trees of a forest at your climb speed, during which time you do not leave any tracks.

Body:
(Leather) Armor of Dark Majesty Level 4+ Uncommon

Waist:
Belt of Nourishment - level 7
Gain +3 Endurance
After wearing this belt for 24 hours, you don't need to eat.


Feet:
Sandals of Precise Stepping - Level 6
Gain +2 to acrobatics, athletics and stealth checks.


Other Items:
Instant Campsite - Level 5
Daily Standard Action: Instantly create a campsite with fire and four 2 person tents.  Use a Standard Action to turn it back into a satchel.


Floating Lantern Level 3 Common
You hang this lantern on the empty air, where it floats under your command.
Wondrous Item
Property
This lantern casts light in a 10-square radius, and it never needs lighting or refilling. When you let go of the lantern, it continues to hang in the air where you leave it. If weight in excess of 1 pound is applied to the lantern, it falls to the ground.
    Any creature holding the floating lantern or adjacent to it can set its light to be bright (10-square radius), dim (5-square radius), or off as a minor action.
    As a move action, the last creature to hold the lantern can mentally command it to move up to 10 squares in any direction, but not more than 10 squares from the commanding creature.

Published in Adventurer's Vault, page(s) 171, Mordenkainen's Magnificent Emporium, page(s) 84.


Story elements:

Included:
I'd like some play on Willa's minor ability to glimpse the future.  Nothing major, or even plot related if that might cause problems, just some random little 'visions' that might affect her personality from time to time.  For example it could just be: "Willa had a bad dream tonight."  If not np :)

Excluded:
Anything extremely stupid.  Like a talking fridge that wants to sell you bacon flavoured ties...or something.  This game seems far too sophisticated for anything like that (which is awesome), but I cannot really think of anything else!

OOC - Character Development

What is the development you envision for your Character?
Gyr is an apprenticing geomancer, sent out into the world to figure out how it all works and understand what it takes to psychically move entire continents for the Uhl Travellers.  He'll follow the Primal Summoner paragon path and focus on controlling space throughout the field, or even changing the terrain to better utilize his forced movements.

What gear would you like to acquire for your Character?
Gauntlets of the Ram (8 PHB)
Belt of Blood (10 AV)
Casque of Tactics (4, 14, 24 AV) -> Essence of the Wisp (21 AV2)
Bracers of Mental Might (6 AV)
Boots of the Acrobat -> Boots of Striding (l9 PHB)
Battle Harness (4+ DR368)

What story elements would you like to see in this Campaign?  And its related Question, what DON'T you want to see in this Campaign?
Camaraderie, greater purpose, and curious futzing about work well for Gyr; betrayal, morality shifting, and tedious futzing about does not.  Blunt force trauma will occur in the latter.
