Re: Eberron Hero

 

What, no comments? I'd hoped for some constructive criticism regarding the Dragonmarks, seeing as they're based on D&D spells which require quite a bit of interpretation.

 

Well, I'll be cleaning up these conversions and reposting them over the next week or so. Please feel free to post or PM recommendations and ideas. Thanks!

Re: Eberron Hero

 

Very nicely done. I just dropped out of a d20 Eberron game because I'd rather be playing Hero. Liked the setting pretty well though, and I think you captured the Dragonmarks very well. Any plan to do up the Abberrant Dragonmarks (which my character had)? Not that I plan on doing anything with it soon, but it is interesting none the less.

Re: Eberron Hero

 

Sure. Definitely want to finish with the normal Dragonmarks first, though. So, maybe next week.

Dragonmarks - First Batch

 

The Dragonmarked Houses are a fixture of Eberron. Several families have inheritable magical abilities that manifest on selected individuals as magical tatoos. The method of inheritance is not understood: some individuals never manifest their House's Dragonmark, others are born with it; unmarked members still contribute to the business of their House, albeit in a somewhat lesser fashion. At one time, there was at least one more Dragonmarked House, but the War Of The Mark resulted in its destruction.

 

Players can start as members of a House without taking the Dragonmark (Unmarked members), and they can take the Dragonmark without actually being members of the House (illegitimate children). But, they must be members of an "appropriate" race; hence, only half-elves may take the Mark of Detection, or possibly humans or full elves who descend from the half-elves of this House. It is not permissable to have two Dragonmarks; the magics cancel themselves out.

 

Players should start with one of the Least Dragonmarks available to them. After earning some additional experience (i.e., earning a few levels), they can take one of the Lesser Dragonmarks of the House, but they must have a Least Dragonmark to do so. When they near the top of their profession (I would estimate at between 200-250 total character points), they can take a Greater Dragonmark, but they must have a Lesser Dragonmark to do so.

 

In terms of the D&D game, there exist two Prestige Classes (basically, Advanced Occupations) which involve the Dragonmarks. They allow for characters who want to maximize their magical Dragonmark abilities. More on them later.

 

Mark Of Detection

 

House Medani is a house of half-elves (they are half-elves, yet breed true) with the Mark of Detection. They use this power to operate the Warning Guild, which offers personal protection services.

 

Mark of Finding

 

The half-orcs of House Tharashk possess the Mark of Finding, which they use to run the Finders Guild, an organization of private investigators and scouts.

 

Mark of Handling

 

The Handlers Guild is involved with animal husbandry and livestock sales. It is run by the humans of House Vadalis who possess this Mark.

 

Mark of Healing

 

The Healers Guild is run by the halflings of House Jorasco. They offer secular healing services in most cities, and their House is the source for "real" physicians.

Re: Eberron Hero

 

Dragonmarks - Third Batch

 

The Mark Of Scribing

 

The gnomes of House Sivis bear the Mark of Scribing, which they have used to control the Speakers Guild (which provides various translational and diplomatic functions) and the Notaries Guild (which notarizes Letters of Credit, important documents, and the like).

 

The Mark Of Sentinel

 

The humans of House Deneith possess this mark, which they use to control the Defenders Guild, an organization of professional bodyguards, sentinels, and similar.

 

The Mark Of Shadow

 

The elves of two rival Houses hold the Mark of Shadow. House Phiarlann runs the Entertainers & Artisans Guild, and its roving members gather information from all regions and all walks of life. The schism House Thuranni, patron of the Shadow Network of spies and informants, split from House Phiarlann during the War.

 

The Mark Of Storm

 

The half-elves of House Lyrandar bear the Mark of Storm, which they use to form the Windwrights Guild (which controls most shipping and travel) and the Raincallers Guild (which aids farmers).

 

The Greater Mark Control Winds power is really immensely powerful. Heck, superheroes are built on such powers. It is, however, still only usable once per day, and it's effects last 1 Hour (I would allow the player to exert his will over the effects over that time). The Control Winds spell that it duplicates is limited in a number of quirky ways that I found difficult to translate to Hero in a meaningful way.

Aberrant Dragonmarks

 

Fifteen hundred years ago, the true-blooded Dragonmarked Houses launched the War of the Mark to end the threat of aberrant and mixed dragonmarks. Aberrant Dragonmarks do not seem to breed as true as true-blood dragonmarks, and there are no Houses of Aberrants. Aberrant dragonmarks do not develop further powers. It is not permitted to have an aberrant dragonmark and a true dragonmark, nor may a character have more than one aberrant dragonmark. A character with an aberrant dragonmark may not join one of the Dragonmarked Houses. A few of the features of the aberrant dragonmarks (notably the durations of most of these) do develop beyond their starting level, but only very slowly.

Re: Eberron Hero

 

To reiterate CourtFool's most excellent writeup, and keep the Eberron stuff in one place:

 

Prestige Class - Extreme Explorer

 

The ancient depths of Sharn, the tangled jungles of Q'barra, the howling crags of the Demon Wastes, and the cyclopean ruins of Xen'drik are like home to the extreme explorer. Whether motivated by a thirst for knowledge about Eberron's most ancient civilizations, a hunger for the long-lost secrets of tremendous arcane power, or simply a lust for gold, extreme explorers subject themselves to tremendous danger to achieve their goal--and somehow manage to escape in one piece, often by the skin of their teeth. The extreme explorer is the iconic action hero of Eberron: courageous, resourceful, determined, and just plain lucky.

Re: Eberron Hero

 

To people who might get some use out of this stuff: what should I do next? The prestige classes would be a possibility; I would follow Court Fool's lead and stat them out as Package Deals, since this seems to me a better way to do it. Another possibility is the magic of Eberron - the spells and the artificer and magewright classes, along with some of the dragonshard stuff. Really, I'm asking for ideas.

[mserabian]

Re: Eberron Hero

 

Really wonderful work on the conversions. Thanks so much for working so hard on those.

 

As for suggestions, I'd love to see the artifcer and magewright classes done up as well as the prestige classes as your next project!

Re: Eberron Hero

 

Awesome work. I'd love to see the Articifer, myself.

 

I am doing an Eberron converstion as well, although I am skewing the world. The magic system is no where NEAR D&D, and theres none of this FEATS bull-honkey either. My "conversion" is really more just idea theft, but you've done a great job so far. =P

 

I'm having trouble making the Articifer fit into my world, yet I love the concept.

[AlHazred]

Re: Eberron Hero

 

Right, then. I'll be leaving for vacation tomorrow. While I'm in sunny Florida, I'll develop the Artificer, Magewright, and at least a few of the prestige classes (I'm probably going to give the Dragonmarked Heir a miss, since it only does stuff that the Hero player can do anyway.)

[trechriron]

Re: Eberron Hero

 

This stuff is awesome. How would you recommend marking a creature as an Aberrant? My current campaign centers around this. I am going to introduce the group to HERO this weekend over the holiday and see if I can convince anyone to convert. :-D After all the class work I would love to see Ebberon specific spells and possibly some creature write ups.

 

Thanks for the great work!

[AlHazred]

Re: Eberron Hero

 

How would you recommend marking a creature as an Aberrant?

Do you mean an Aberration? In HERO, you'd go by the actual definition of the term, as opposed to applying some hard-to-define quality to each creature in the Bestiary.

 

The 3.5 SRD says this about Aberrations: "An aberration has a bizarre anatomy, strange abilities, an alien mindset, or any combination of the three." So, I'd call the Butatsch (from Monsters, Minions, and Marauders) an Aberration, for example, but that's for the GM to define. I know where you're going with that, and it's one of the things I'm thinking about, but I have a lot of other things to get to before I start on the Eldeen factions.

Re: Eberron Hero

 

I done been quoted. I am flattered. I guess I will have to scrounge up some more material from Wizards and present my take.

[CourtFool]

Reputation

 

It seems obvious that Eberron places the PCs in the Important to All Important category. Even the most powerful NPCs are at most in the mid-level range. In the article Eberron Under the Glass: Character Classes and Levels it is mentioned that the focus should be on the PCs. It is suggested that even after a few adventures the PCs should begin to see some notoriety.

 

To keep this feel of the campaign I suggest the GM award small bonuses of XP that may only be used for Reputation. The GM could also offset the cost with appropriate Disadvantages such as Public Identity or Famous.

Personally, I would take the 17 points from Deduction and spread some skill levels between Analyze, Deduction and Interrogation. I would also add some levels to Detect Lie. This should be a good start for a beginning character though.

While this package is far from the "best of the best" it is pretty much all that is specifically mentioned in the prestige class. You could always include an optional list of aditional skills to choose from.

 

I can not read the description of the Citadel Elite without thinking of the musketeers. Dumas would be proud.
