| Sqwonk, what was your final ruling on prestige classes? I was thinking of maybe taking Master Specialist (from Complete Mage) for the abjurer. |

I am ok with PrC. As long as it does not get abused.

KidV, I would like to play a Beguiler, if you don't mind. I think it will be easier (or at least, faster) to play a spontaneous caster in combat.

For my cleric character, here's my concept:
A cleric of the Silver Flame (a Puritan, in fact), he unfortunately contracted lycanthropy when battling a weretiger. He spent years running/hiding from his own church, until he could get cured. He still worships the Silver Flame, but fears for his life at the hands of his former brethren.
Stat-wise, this PC will be a battle-oriented cleric, with some disguise-y stuff throw in as he continues to hide (as best he can) from his own church.

Did the Citadel buy his loyalty by getting him the cure?
OK, then I'll be playing a Super Abjurer. |

That sounds like something The Citadel would do.
I am assuming you are keeping your SF worship private.
Human?
with Lythancropy taint 
But seriusly, did L leave any "marks"?

Are you still "Puritancial" in your views or more "world wise/tolerant"?
Age?

So - to steal from "A Few Good Men"
It is:
King
Country
Citadel
Faith
everything else

Well, that sounds a little more lawful neutral than I would play it. The King and Country part would include some lofty, patriotic ideals. He is still a paladin, after all. |

I like that angle a lot. Let's definitely put that in his backstory.

He certainly keeps it secret from the SF. And he does not advertise it in public. But, in combat, using that holy symbol will be a dead give-away. So, his Citadel companions will be informed on a "need to know" basis (i.e., anyone who adventures with him will know).

I was trying to avoid playing a human (again!) in your game. Any suggestions for race? I'm trying to be more "Eberron-y" with these characters...
In terms of marks, he has a large tatoo of a tiger on his back/shoulder. He doesn't know how it got there....

| Well, you could play a shifter, but make your shifting ability a side effect of your former infection rather than from heritage. Otherwise, human probably is the best choice for a Flamer. |

He still hates lycanthropes, but not for a religious reason. Now, it's personal! He just hates them because one infected him. He is, overall, a little more tolerant, seeing the rigidity of the SF church as a bad thing. Self-preservation is a wonderful teacher. 
I'm thinking middle aged. Several years in the church, several years hiding from the church, several years in the Citadel.

Ok, that's cool. Thanks for the suggestion!
Is that o.k., Sqwonk? He'll be a shifter, with the slightly imperfect cure for his lycanthropy making him a shifter (as the Eberron race). That keeps me away from humans for season 4.

So it is:
Characters:
Bealzubob - Duskblade and Archer
Knid - Warforged Paladin and Wiz-Abjurer super specialist
Barendd - Beguiler and Cleric

Having never really made a wizard before, I'm going to need help with spell selection.
So far:
1st (4 known)-Shield, Magic Missile, Grease, ?
2nd (4 known)-Resist Energy, ?,?,?
3rd (5 known)-Dispel Magic, Fly, Magic Circle against Evil, ?,?
4th (5 known)-Wall of Fire, ?,?,?,?
5th (4 known)-Wall of Force,?,?,?
His prohibited schools are Enchantment, Illusion, and Necromancy.
I'm thinking of Duelward from SPC for 5th, but I have to check the rules. |
