Llaelian's Slumbering Tsar (Inactive)

Game Master Llaelian

Here is the new discussion thread.
Welcome to all who will die.
Please, post under your alias once your character is ready for review. Please take also some time to review your fellow PC sheets to see if you need to twist your characters to work better together.

ask any questions relating character crunch here.

What about equipment? Also here is character.

Slight name change, as Kestrel already existed. Here is a link to the character sheet; I'll transpose it to the alias soon.

What about equipment? Also here is character.

Character gold is standard for 7th level: 23500 GP.

Dreaming Warforged reporting for duty.

Sheet is still WIP.

About the gold, do you have limits for categories or for a single item?

Also, I have Arcane Bond, does that mean that I can enchant my longsword (focus) to +3 for 9,000 GP?

Sheet coming together nicely. I'll do equipment last. Still on the fence regarding Weapon Focus. It seems Furious Focus is much more interesting at our current level...

I'm working on the sheet. I believe by tomorrow all will be done.

Rolling HP. Let me know if you prefer to do them another way.

6d8 ⇒ (2, 1, 4, 5, 1, 6) = 19

Not so tough...

HP 6d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 6, 2, 3, 5) = 20

Rolling HP. Let me know if you prefer to do them another way.

6d8

Not so tough...

Sorry, I did not mention that. For HP, I suggest half maximum plus 1 if every one is ok.

First HD still maxed right?

Ahah! 66 hp, figures for a Pitborn Tiefling!

Yes, to be clearer, max HP for first level and then half max+1 for the next ones.

I've reviewed your character and it seems about right except for the equipment. A magical weapon cost is price of the weapon + masterwork price + the bonus squared times 2 then multiplied by 1000). So a +3 longsword would be 15+300+(3*3*2)*1000=18315 GP. So you'll only be ablte to afford a +2 weapon (cost 8315 GP).

Idem for your magical armor, you forgot 150 GP for the masterwork item.

Can we use the starting gold to craft magic items? Mainly I ask because of the wizard bonus feat Scribe scroll, and I'd also thought of getting craft wondrous item.

You can craft scrolls if you want for your starting equipment, no issue with that. But other magical items will need to be crafted in game.

Thanks! The sword is my arcane bond though. I was under the impression that I could craft it for half the cost, hence the 9,000.

You mind if I double check whether the magic includes or not the masterwork component? I was under the impression it did, but it wouldn't be the first time I assume wrong.

Is there enough downtime in this campaing to craft magic items in game?

Pieced together what I could find.

You are right about the first one. However, you can't make a +3 weapon at level 7, you need to be at level 9. So for your sword +2, the cost by the rules would be only 4000. But that would be in game, with off time compared to the other PCs.

So for starting equipment and to simplify everything, the rule I'm using is that you pay full cost except for single use items (potions and scrolls). Any further enchantment you would put in game will be half price as per the rules.

For the second, and to quote the SRD: Armor to be made into magic armor must be masterwork armor, and the masterwork cost is added to the base price to determine final market value. It is the same for the weapons.

Another point, check your total gold, you have at least 2000 gold left.

There can be, but that's up to you and the other players. There is no time constraint on the whole campaign.

Thanks. I wasn't done spending yet :)

I have my real life game tonight, but should be able to finish the character tomorrow. It went from a 2-minute job to an hour or more since I can't use Hero-Lab's layout :-(.

Being outsiders tieflings are proficient with all martial weapons, right?

Thanks for having me in this game. I will post under the alias tomorrow.

nope, you're just proficient with the weapons as per your class and any natural weapon you may have.

If you post the character under the hero lab template, I can review it. You'll have more time to deal with the formatting.

The character sheet is ready for revision.

The character sheet is ready for revision.

This looks fine to me. Can you just explain where the +1 competence bonus to initiative comes from?

Mostly, done question, for barding do you count the x4 cost for everything or just the price that is listed is x4?

What about equipment? Also here is character.

Ok this is fine. Can you just detail you AC. Its easier to know what to remove for touch or flat footed or when you are without armor.

No, if you want a leather armor for your horse as it is a large common creature, the price is that of the leather armor times 4: 10GP*4=40 GP.

I'm fine with the character as is. Please put the data in your alias and detail the equipment costs so I can check it.

Axis, I am looking at spell lists, to avoid repeats. What does Spell written mean on your sheet? For example, you have Haste written there, and it's on you memorized list. So I'm guessing you have it in your spellbook.

Then my next question is: Should we both have Haste? Or put in another way: Should I concentrate on the buff spells, simply because I will not cast after the first few rounds, and also because my save DCs will always be lower.

(Llaelian, is this too much metagaming? Feel free to say so.)

Sheet is done! Might change spells after Axis' feedback.

I bought a wand of CLW btw.

It comes from the ioun stone.

If you take haste, I'll drop that spell and take aqueous orb instead.

Done! There's Slow as well... Imagine the two of us casting both at the same time :)

Ok, now I'm all eager to start! I will have on and off access to the Internet starting Friday, and for a few days at least. I won't be able to post with great regularity.

Surely not, please, do talk together to come up with an optimized spell list for each of you.

Is this sarcasm?

Nope. I don't do sarcasm on the web. It never translates well. On the second hand now that I reread my post, it could come off as sarcasm. But it is not. I'm just trying to be very polite. and sometimes, some French syntax creeps into my English.

Now that we are talking about metagaming. I also encourage players to discuss tactics ooc. In my home games, people can always take time off game to discuss tactics, even in a surprise fight.

And I thought Axis meant sarcasm because it's a bard spell list we're talking about! :)

I looked at the spell lists. I've tried to focus on self and group buffs, as they don't involve DCs.

I like your selection. Summon Monster is so versatile, I can't wait to see you in action!

One thing missing though, yet SM can act as such, is battlefield control spells, beyond Grease. I see you have Black tentacles (which is awesome), but I was wondering about Web.

Just thoughts. No pressure whatsoever.

At first I thought it wasn't, then then it was, and then again that it wasn't... then that I should ask.

There is also an oracle with you that will have useful blast and buff spells.

That's always the best idea :-) it's so easy to assume wrong when you don't know/have the person in front of you to read body language.

Aqueous orb and obscuring mist are battlefield control as well, and next level I'll catch wall of ice. And to tell the truth I don't like web much. You have to have two oposing somethings to support the spell, and then it can be burnt away.

True enough.

Here is Winnjet for your approval. I'll begin the arduous task of converting to the format when approved.

I dropped the bracers of armor and added a lesser rod of extend and a 1st level pearl of power.

Reduced some skills to purchase Linguistics ranks... my summoned creatures couldn't understand me!

I've checked most of it. And it looks fine except that I could only identify 3 rogue talents, where you should have four with your feat.

Please note I probably won't be able to post from Friday to Monday.
