zeberron

Hi Keith! I'm a big fan of Eberron, it's 5 years I only play there. I would like to ask you: what could you imagine for a high-level evil campaing? Eberron is a world in struggle for heroes. Don't you think high level evil charachters would have no foes?

I find the idea of a Dragon twisted by a Daelkyr quite charming. What template would you use for it? Why Dragons had no reaction? In fact, it seems they had no role at all during Daelkyr invasion. Or they do?

Finally: it looks like a twisted dragon is a long term plan. But I always have this problem with aberrations: they are crazy. They are uneasy to understand. But finally i need my players to know them, to understand their plans, or they cannot really hate them. Don't you think so?

Very interesting. You suggested me a question. What does it mean to be a "dark six cleric"? You adore some evil behaviour, isn't it? You think it shouldn't be stigmatized. In your opinion IT IS NOT BAD. Am I right? So a cleric of the fury thinks like De Sade that any man has the right of raping any woman. A cleric of the Devourer thinks that fear and brutal force are the powers that move the world and like Machiavelli prefer to be hated than to be loved. What about a cleric of the Mockery? He thinks that honour in combat is stupid, useless, someway arrogant. He thinks a different society is possible. With no warriors and paladins, but with monks, thiefs and assassins... like Zilargo? Could some clerics of the Mockery be behind the Trust, or the Trust secretly adore the Mockery?

Yes, but wouldn't that mean to have an evil campaign similar to a good one? If it ends to be "they want to destroy the world, I am part of the world, I have to save the world". My players would like to try an evil campaign in Karrnath where they are belivers of Vol or The Mockery, we have to decide. At low level it's ok, but a 18th cleric of the Mockery has almost nothing to hide to :)

In some posts you suggested the idea of playing a Paladin of Vol. How would it work? Would he have an evil aura, since he's tied to a bad "god"? Wouldn't he realize that? Wouldn't he see that his superiors are mostly evil? Or would you arrange the rules in some way? And what about the orcish "silver flame" paladines?

Btw I always felt that there should be some kind of secret weapon helpin the good orcs fighting in Demon Wastes, or they should have been all killed since centuries. Do you have any idea about?
