Campaign Two Eberron Previewed

A sneak peak into campaign 2 of the Eberron Renewed podcast! The two big differences are the addition of Trevor M., who played on the original Geek Pantheon episodes. The second is the switch from Dungeons and Dragons to Genesys. They discuss their character concepts, and end with Jeff explaining a bit more about the upcoming Kids on Bikes one-shot.

## Story

The story of the new adventurers will be on a much smaller scale than that of On Borrowed Time. It will take place in Sharn, specifically the Lower Menthis Plateau. The PCs will be members of a gang, name TBD, that pays tribute to the Boromar Clan.

## Characters

### The Collector

Jeff's character is a goliath monk. His real name is unknown, but his friends call him the Collector. He's not very communicative to the outside world.

### Milo Kegbottom

Milo Kegbottom is Randy's middle-aged halfing sorcerer who's just discovered his powers. In the past he owned a tavern with his wife, but it burned down. In the fire his wife was killed, and he suffered a brain injury that's stayed with him since. On occasions he'll refer to his wife as if she's alive, or say some nonesense that doesn't make sense. He used to run numbers out of the tavern.

### Erys

Erys, Philip's character, is a Cyran survivor. She survived somewhat unconventionally: before the Mourning she was captured in a raid by goblins out of Darguun and spent some of her youth as a slave in Darguun before escaping in also a somewhat unconventional manner. She lives in Sharn as a unlicensed magewright. She probably did repairs on magical slot machines in the casinos. She's in her twenties and kind of flighty and defensive. Her indebtedness to the Boromar Clan was not her intention when she came to Sharn, so it's a life that she is somewhat stuck in as opposed to a life that she's selected. She has a distinct crossbow: a small air elemental bound in a dragonshard fitted into the weapon and used that to create an electromagnetic charge that launches projectiles.

### Trevor's Character

Trevor will play a rogue, and has yet to narrow down whether it's a human or a high elf.

Human: He was born into wealth, but decided to leave it. He's almost the Robin Hood type in that he robs from the rich and gives to the poor—minus the giving to the poor bit. He hates the lifestyle of the rich, which is why he left.

High elf: Kicked from his family for taking advantage of their wealth, he still wants the lifestyle, so he became a thief.

## New Magic System

The magic system in Genesys is much more freeform than D&D. Rather than having difference schools of magic that allow access to different abilities, it's all called the attack spell, and you add abilities onto it. For example, instead of casting the Fireball spell, you would use the attack skill and add blast and fire, which would increase the difficulty of it succeeding but make it into the spell you want. The difference between a sorcerer and wizard would be how you learned the magic, not how it works.

### Ki

For Jeff's monk character, there will be a talent to take(which in D&D terms is a feat) that allows him to cast Augment on himself using Discipline instead of Divine/Primal, which are the normal casting abilities. Any additional effects that say "use rank in X skill," he would use resiliance instead. For Fury of Blows, there will be a talent that allows him to spend two strain to perform an extra brawl check on his turn.

## Trivia

* Jeff's monk was the first class Eric converted to Genesys.
