I am creating a character for an upcoming Eberron game and have become completely inspired with a concept, but need some advice...
Character Basics
Background: A young Seren Barbarian outcast who was in training to be a Dragonspeaker and to prophet of the Dragon Prophecies. During an initiation ritual of deep meditation his mind followed a thread of the Prophecies to Xoriat. What he found was true freedom; the ability to see the Prophecies in their grandeur without the restrictions of sanity marring the interpretations.
Xoriat left its Mark upon the young Prophet in the form of a twisting, purple Dragonmark appearing to be crawling out of his left eye.
Human (Seren)
Barbarian1//Warlock1 (Gestalt)
Str14 Dex10 Con14 Int14 Wis10 Cha16
Whirling Frenzy variant, Dragon Totem Variant Barbarian
Voice of Madness as warlock invocation
Feats:
Aberrant Dragonmark (Cause Fear), Mark of Madness, Mark of Xoriat, BlindFight (B)
Flaws:
Dark Premonitions - (HB) Every 1d6 nights he suffers from dark dreams that leave him fatigued all of the next day. The DM may force a dream upon him, but it should reveal part of the Prophecy (symbolic or literal) that will come to fruition the coming day.
Future advancement:
Will progress toward Child of Khyber prestige class. Future feats will include Quicken Dragonmark (making least/lesser/greater marks swift actions)
Is Mark of Xoriat too powerful? My worry is that getting DR5/bys is too much at a low level and will ignore nearly all damage CR1-3 monsters will dish out.
Without my Flaw, Mark of Xoriat can still be reached by Lvl 3...which is still pretty early for DR5.
Am I missing requirements? Is it not as big a deal as I seem to think?
