I am being rather rubbish at keeping up with the pace of the posting, I will give myself a C- and must try harder. I post and when I come back there are another half dozen posts. I am loving how fast this gets updated, it is a credit to all of you. I am also struggling to find a personality for Kajetan apart from Quite Book Worm. Any suggestions on quirks?

^^^^I go tomorrow morning, have a great Christmas and I will see you all in a weeks time. Sorry to disagree Flash, but I would interpret it as you are a 6th level Caster. The "Spells per Day" description states:
So you only improve as a spell caster at the levels that have that Class Feature listed. DM: Spoiler:
4. You can re-arrange his stats as you wish OR re-roll them (4d6 drop the lowest, 6 times, arranged as desired). However, for consistency I would prefer that re-assigned stats are somewhere in the ball-park of existing stats, say within 2-3 points if possible. Eg, you can assign better stats to Int and Con, but don’t suddenly make Charisma a dump stat, it’s part of Kajetan’s established personality.
I thought about re-rolling his abilities, but I ended up with a dire result, highest stat was a 15, then it was 2 12's, so I could not preserve the high Charisma and cast spells above level 2. So if it is ok with you, I will keep the origional rolls and just swap Charisma and Intelligence over. 6. Kajetan is actually carrying around both those spell books. If you come across somewhere in the thread where I’ve listed the spells in the books, make a note of it; otherwise I’ll look it up and let you know. Assume that Kajetan has had the time and resources to scribe two spells from those books (as well as the spells he would get to start and for level increases). I found the goblin book on page 60, third of the way down in a spoiler, I have yet to find the other book listed. 7. As Kajetan has not so far had a familiar, I don’t want him to suddenly have one – BUT, he could gain one during the course of the game if you want (subject to the normal rules for gaining a familiar). Or if you prefer you can swap out this class feature for something else (Immediate Magic from PHB2 for example) – your call. I have not got PHB2, but I hear it is a great book, I will probably go for the ability to have a familiar, Nicoli (sp?) could possibly teach me? Unless I find some other swap out that leaps out at me as suitable. Finally, I think going as a Specialist in divination suits his character, and I take evocation as the opposed school will stop him ever being able to blast the enemy, so he will have to think his way around encounters. I should be up to speed soon, I am on page 62 now. flash_cxxi wrote:
You Crazy Fool! I'm going with the outlaws, I mean In Laws, so that should be fun. At least I have all the comforts of home and some extras like geothermal heating. Only today and tomorrow left at work before I break up, yippee! Considering I am the sort of guy who has to squeeze his Christmas presents to guess what they are, those spoiler tags drive me bonkers! Must resist urge to click on them.... Couple of things I have noticed so far with Kajetan: 1)He has a fey bloodline, I found out what that was from Crystal Keep, you need to be a spontaneous caster of Arcane spells, obviously I can't have that if I am a Wizard. Does this impact on the plot line?? Can I replace it with something from the PHB, see point 2 as well. 2) He has two bonus feats listed, Fey Bloodline and Skill Focus Knowledge Arcana, these are obviously tied to his back story. 3) He has 54 skill ranks, by my calculations a human sorcerer at 3rd level should have 2(class)+1(human)+2(int) per level and 4 times that at first. So 20 at first and another 10 for his two levels. Have I lost the plot or is there another reason he has another 24? 4) Can I rearrange his Stats, I would very much like to swap Chr 17 and Int 15 around. (Normally I love Hit Points, can't get enough of them, 10 con is going to drive me potty, but that is why they call it role-play.) 5) Could I swap out the feats for something more useful in combat? No idea what, just seeing my options. 6) What ever happened to the goblin shamans book and the Jirkin the fallen wizards book? They could be used to drive his slight increase in combat effective spells, although I will probably take evocation as an opposite school. 7) No familiar? How is having a cat follow you around viewed?
Spoiler:
Raven appeals to me because of the imp turning into one, it would freak out the other players. That is all I have found so far, up to page 52 as the shop has been busy today. Glad to be aboard, I'll take a detailed look at Kajetan. My initial thoughts are to change him to a Wizard specializing in an non-offensive school, that way he could learn some new spells that are slightly more offensive. That all being said I once played a Gnome Sorcerer who's most offensive spell was Glitterdust, at 13th level he was solid, so it can be done. Quick few questions:
About the comment of reading all 70 pages, it is actually an interesting past-time, kind of like reading a novel, but it is difficult to find any that are as well written as this one. Mothman, I am very interested in taking one of the players over and have been avidly reading the whole thread for the past few days. I have just got to chapter 2, which is the start of page 48. When I started reading I didn't realise I was in April 2007, wow this sign up has been going for ages. Full credit to you and the players for keeping it alive and so well written for so long. I am able to post every day, in fact I tend to wear out my browser trying to poke an update on the other PBPs I am in. My first problem is I am not going to be here for a big chunk of December, I am away from the 19th until the 27th and I am also away for New Year, this is not finalised, but is probably going to be 3-4 days maximum starting on the 29th or 30th. So basically you can scratch me out for the Christmas period. Also, when do you guys tend to post GMT time? I am in the UK and have the browser open most days on and off from 10am to 1am, if your regular update times are different from that then you should rule me out, if they are between 10am and 6pm GMT time then I am uber active then. I'll probably be able to work out the times you are active from this post, once it starts giving an actual time and not 1 minute ago, it is 2.21am here. I wanted to give you a lot of advanced warning, I am away on holiday for 8 days starting the 19th December, I am also away for a few days at new year. We go to a small cottage on the side of a hill at the base of some mountains, there was never any internet there last few times I went, so I doubt it will have it this time. Patrick Curtin wrote:
We are based 25 miles south in Barmouth, lovely view over the sea, no mobile phone reception, dodgy TV reception. Peace and quite, the only way to pick up my answer phone messages is to go to the pub, no wonder this is the 4th time we have gone. I have got as far as page 13, they have just camped for the first night, I like you DMing style a lot and am very interested in taking either of the characters (who I don't think are in the story yet unless I am being really thick). Only 5 months worth of reading to go :-) What name is the off topic thread for it? Mothman wrote:
I only get to play as a player on pbp, so I would gladly take one of the places if you can stomach some more of me. My name is AllDMsareEVIL and I am addicted to the Gilmore Girls, my wife got me into it because of how Lorelai Gilmore does so many things that I do, she thinks I secretly write for the show. I was clutching for names when my wife said "we have some Gilmore Girls to watch", so it seemed like a good one to go for.
