So. There's isn't an official thread for this upcoming adventure yet, so I made a tiny little thread for the hell of it, to discuss character ideas for THIS game, and not inundate the play-by-post one with irrelevant material.
I already have my character idea semi-firmly locked down. I'm playing a character who will appear to be one thing, but is actually something else completely different. I'm playing a changeling/doppelganger, who will appear to be an eladrin most of the time. We will start play with everyone else knowing my character as something approximating an eladrin rogue, who is a wine and rare beverage merchant. She is in reality a doppelganger, but she will not be showing her true face to anyone else unless there is some pressing reason she HAS to, or if there is a deep bond of trust between her and the other player characters. So, I'm happy for you as fellow players to know what race she is, and that she's an assassin. But your characters won't know, until it's revealed somehow via roleplaying during the game.
I was actually considering trying to make everyone think that I was playing an eladrin rogue, but it's just too much trouble to try and conceal something from players as well as characters all the time. I'll just trust that everyone knows not to metagame
I havent written up the entire character sheet yet, as I'm still working out some things with our illustrious DM, but I HAVE painted a rough picture of her in her true form so far
I'll paint the eladrin form as well, so you have a better idea of what she'll look like most of the time
So, if anyone else wants to post about their characters...
