<p>What is your stance on item creation feats? I either don't remember it in your house rules, missed it, or it wasn't in there. I only intend on ever having craft wondrous item so when we have large amounts of downtime we can save some party gold.</p>
<p>Speaking of gold, any specifications on how to spend it? I normally buy a lot of 1-2k minor magical items such as handy haversacks and wands.</p>"A pleasure to work with such like minded men"

A seventh body, whether its a pet, companion, NPC or PC, adds to the work I do to resolve combat. And it already takes me 15 minutes on the average to resolve 5-6 peeps.

Becomes very good at debuffing.</p>
<p>Hmm, I know I'm beating a dead horse and am probably getting to the point of wearing your patience thin on the summon issue, but I really like the idea of using celestial creatures in this campaign. Ok, some arguments for my cause.</p>
<p>1) I will never summon more than 1 thing at a time.
<br />
2) I only summon about 2 creatures from each list, which I can inform you of and give you the stat block now. At this level probably a total of 3-4 creatures total, and I'll probably completely focus on 1 of them above the others for pure combat stats.
<br />
3) RP flavor
<br />
4) I am very organized with all of my spellcasting, posting a link every time I use a spell. </p>
<p>In fact, I believe I can create a profile for the summons I intend to use. Then you can track them just like a companion or familiar, and if I ever summon something else it's probably for utility out of combat.</p>
<p>Just some thoughts, I am aware of the confusion and slugishness that can be created from summoning, but I believe I am efficient enough to not even slow combat down. Feel free to just say no and I'll change my spells around. Again, sorry for persisting in a subject that you are so wary of, and I won't feel insulted at all if you just say 'no I do not want to deal with it'</p>Magus archetype to include witch hexes.

I believe the group is looking for a more arcane caster. They already have a good physical presence. I think they're looking for one focused on CC, arcane/elemental dmg, debuffs and the such. Buffs are always appreciated (haste ftw), of course. Also, I use a worksheet to track combat... and while I totally appreciate your willingness to post stat blocks and the such...the method I use to run and track Pbp makes it hard to run things with six players <i>plus</i> summons. If it was a 3 player group or something, it would be much easier to consider.</p>
<p>And please, forgive me for not thinking that aspect through a bit better when putting the call out for casters. We could have been more considerate there.

We definitely need a specialist arcane caster, we've felt the pain of not having one for a couple of levels. To help you decide what you want to be and how best to compliment what we have already;</p>
<p>Beppo - Classy, nobleman fighter. If he can't woo it with his shiny armour he kills it with big weapons.
<br />
Kyle - Priest (3rd party divine caster), good knowledges, specialist healer, saved all our asses a bunch of times and often the moral compass of the party.
<br />
Aemon - Ranger, archer. Consistent damage output from distance, useful skills, very angry person.
<br />
Brandon/Edmond - Vivisectionist Alchemist, dual-personality scientist/monster, can hit like a truck when flanking but poor AC and lack of finesse in monster form so basically kill or be killed in every fight.</p>
<p>Hopefully that will help you see where you can plug the gaps :)</p>Hey guys. We definitely need a specialist arcane caster, we've felt the pain of not having one for a couple of levels. To help you decide what you want to be and how best to compliment what we have already;
