The Eladrin Swordmage
The Shadar-Kai Avenger
Okay, so after hearing everyone’s votes for which PC I should play next, I’ve got it narrowed down to two choices: The Eladrin Swordmage and the Shadar-Kai Avenger (sorry, Danny, but I like the Avenger’s teleportation and striker abilities). Here are the two minis I have to choose between the two figures. Your vote will help the decision.
Now, with the Shadar-Kai, I’ll be removing the hammer, I think, and replacing it with either a sickle (to make him more like a grim reaper) or a spiked chain (since it is the Shadar-Kai’s preferred weapon).
For the Eladrin, His blades will glow, probably one blue and one red. I haven’t done much glowing paint effects, but I’ll study up on some tutorials on how to do so.
The Shadar-Kai’s idea would be that he was sent into the mortal realm from the Shadowfell to pursue a particular lich or vampire, and will get drawn into the adventuring party.
The Eladrin’s story would be that he is part of the rest of the group (who are all planning on playing Arcane classes) in being a student at the arcane school in the village. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi’s! You all are my only hope!
Help me make the decision!
I cast my vote for the glow-y swords. I agree with light-saberesque mages!
Which brings to mind the idea of an hybrid swordmage/telekinisis psion as a jedi ripoff… mmmh…
But yes, Swordmage.
wow, my first comment on this blog.
Let me say, before I give you my vote, that I’ve been reading this blog for a few weeks now, but I have bided my time in revealing my presence untill now. >:)
My vote, however. Is for the Shadar-Kai. The Lich/Vampire persuit is too valuable a story/plot device to let go! (Puh-leez, a glowing sword? How shallow!
)
I would say the Shadar-kai, what if the weapon was both! An Ice-pick on the end of a Spiked Chain.
[...] question arose over the last few days: What should I play? The options were: A Half-Elf Warlord, an Eladrin Swordmage, or a Shadar-Kai [...]
