#makenna stop throwing out death flags for your own damn character

Our group is almost at the end of our current Eberron campaign, so I did an updated pic of my little half-orc Star Bard, Cory.

Harchord "Cory" Tharashk is a squishy ex-theatre kid and a bit of the black sheep of his Dragonmarked House (a large extended family full of big, strong, and courageous detective/crime solving individuals) trying to break out on his own path of music and entertainment by moving to the big city and starting a Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre. But when the actual murder of his business partner and best friend drags him suddenly back into the family business, the clues lead him to a ragtag group of other novice sleuths and a conspiracy bigger than any of them had planned for.

This is my first time trying College of Creation and it has quickly become one of my favorite bard flavors. If you love effective support/utility casters or really thinking outside the box and getting some crazy solutions to problems (or, quite literally, pulling things out of thin air), definitely give it a try! I am having A Blast.

The Mark of Finding features also add a little bit of ranger vibes, which has been great to play around with and have come in clutch more than once. Generally the marks are more solid, but I made Cory's a constellation version of the normal shape to thematically echo the College of Creation as well as his feeling of not living up to the expectations of his House. At the beginning of our adventure, he kept it covered with makeup, but over the campaign has become more confident and no longer feels the need to do so.

Close up of his mark, both normal and when it's all glowy from activating one of its powers:
