Aubrey's Other Eberron Campaign - The Unbinding (Inactive)

Game Master Aubrey the Malformed

After having looked at the plethora of options for the Hierophant Path, I think I am just fine sticking to one Path.

I have a spare 20 minutes I'll continue to work on this throughout the day.

Really looking forward to playing this character!

Yes, I think that's right - Child of Two Paths or something like that I think is the feat.

I think Multiattack is a lvl 1 feat, not bonus I'm afraid.

No big deal with that feat, sans weapons and spells Vaard will still be a threat. Albeit a lesser threat :-)

-------

Edit:

The "Shopping" List.

(Already have) Mankini (Belt) of Physical Might 10,000 GP

Requested:

Incandescent Blue Ioun Stone - +2 Wisdom 8,000 GP

Ring of Feather Falling - 2,000 GP

Enchant Exiting Masterwork Morningstar to +1 - 2,000 GP

Let me know if that all is approved DM. Thank you.

---------

One more Mythic Tier question I cannot seem to find the answer to, are Skill Points or Saving Throws or Base Attack Bonuses increased or is that dependent on the Path chosen?

---------

Edit II Roll HP:

Cleric 3d8 ⇒ (5, 4, 7) = 16
Lizardfolk Racial HD 2d8 ⇒ (7, 1) = 8
Fighter 1 1d10 ⇒ 1 Brutal.... good thing he has a high Con!

BAB, Saves and skill points are not effected, well there probably are some abilities that affect some of those but normally no.

I would also point out regarding HP that you always get maxium for your first hit die (in this case that would one of the racial ones) and secondly a houserule is in place where you get minium of half of maxium on HP rolls.

So with those rolls it would be.

Cleric 5,4,7 =16
Racial 8,7 or 4 and 8 depending on how it would work in this instance probably the former since the 7 was the first die rolled. So 15 or 12 total.
Fighter 5
Hierophant 4(note does not count as hit dice so no con bonus)

So in total before other considerations(like con and FCB) it would 40/37

I think Aubrey has a floor on hp rolls.

Thanks guys.

I'll have my Avatar up this afternoon as it turns out.

Storyteller Shadow's submission. Ready to post pending DM approval of build and magic items requests.

Looks fine to me. Just to clarify, Vaard doesn't have his breastplate yet, it comes along with the other magical goodies when they are ready.

I'm willing to forego the magical goodies if necessary. Meta-gaming, I'm sure Aubrey will keep things fair in the long run, even if it causes short term difficulties for Rehil.

Rehil is almost as committed to everyone's safety as Cole, but the mission is his first priority.

BC, the main question is do you want company for Wultram?

STS, in the Notes spoiler at the bottom of Rehil's profile are some links to some of the significant events in the story so far, including the two visions.

If you haven't been lurking or reading backstory, it might be good just to peruse those.

OK. I'll play as if they are not there and consider everything a placeholder until we get them.

Great thank you.

I'll peruse those as well as the last 50 or so of Vaard's posts to get a feel for him before I start posting.

Well I am not too fond of solo stuff, then again temporary. So if you feel like coming along more than welcome.

Oh and speaking about gear. Wultram would be taking his share of the gold(well some of it was jewels and other type of coins but you get the idea) that they got before the whole dragon business. All the magic items is fine to leave with Nalverren cause he can make use of that stuff. Does anyone have an actual count of that stuff anywhere or do I need to go digging through posts?

STS, rocking that old time reilgion!

Hi y'all.

Given how far behind I am, I think your decision to replace me is probably a good one. It's not a particularly easy feeling for me, seeing as I've been in this game since the beginning and it's the longest running pbp I've taken part in (nearly four years), but it will take me a considerable amount of energy to catch up, and it's not really fair to make you all wait for me.

So yea, good luck Storyteller Shadow.

Good gaming Vaard.

I updated my profile, well mostly just copy pasting.

So I picked up current XP count as 18,057 is that correct?

good gaming Vaard, I hope we met again!

So I picked up current XP count as 18,057 is that correct?

I got it at 16,872 after Kalaktua. 17557 after the huge fishes in Kalaktua's Lair.

Soooo, anyone else can confirm one way or the other?

Go with Wultram's total. No idea if it's correct, but then it's all a bit notional anyway.

Just to let everyone know, I will be on holiday for one week starting Saturday with no wifi access.

Sorry you had to drop out, but in the end I had to make a decision as the player base was dwindling. Best wishes and hope you lurk and say hello when you can.

18,057 is what I have, as well.

I'm not ignoring your reveal, Vaard. Just looking for a good time to engage it. :)

No worries, I agree, the current scene is not the ideal time to address it. I dropped it in there as a plot point to be discussed later :-)

Regarding splitting the party while not doing spoilers, perhaps the DM could do bold headers for posts or portions thereof that pertain to which group? that way i can just slide my eyes past the part that doesnt pertain to me.

then again, if that is just as onerous as using spoiler tags, then nevermind.

That's the approach I take in my games as well.

That's a good idea, I'll do that.

Alright, posting rate update.

This weekend is Memorial Day weekend in the States, so my posting may be spotty to non-existent (family in town). Next week will be mostly normal, but then me and my little family are heading to Colorado for a long weekend next Friday (so I'll be out from between 6/2 until 6/6). I may have some ability post that weekend, but again—no guarantees.

OK, that's me done for a week. Sorry if I didn't update very well today, pick things up next week.

No worries, enjoy your Holiday!

Guys, work is about to get mental, so I might not surface for a day or two.

Good luck, Aubs.

Agreed. Good luck. Also, I'm back in town. Getting caught up on my games. :)

Some help you just don't need. :)

I laughed out loud at that one. :-)

Yeah, sometimes it's best to leave these things to the professionals.

Guys, it would seem we have a new victi- er, volunteer to play Tal. natloz, please introduce yourself!

Similar to what we did with Vaard, you can have a look at a rebuild for Tal to suit yourself more as your own character. Tal has a bit of background, so going from a paladin to an assassin-rogue might be a stretch (although he has been hanging round with Wultram who I am sure is not a wholesome influence, so maybe...). If you have any ideas or queries, please let us know - we are all always happy to add ideas.

while I typically dislike Taking 10

This time is was due to lazyness. But I would like a bit more details on that. As I personally love take 10/20 rules especially the former since it makes the skill system even halfway believable. Mainly asking so we can be on the same page on things.

Hi everyone, glad to be able to participate. I was looking at the sheet the previous player was going off of and it seems like something I can work with. The only change I was looking to make was to take off the Dual Pathed feat and go with Mythic Weapon Finesse. It would make for better general damage vs the few times a day the fleet charge would come into play. Then there is always Smite Evil if I need to bypass DR.

In trying to stay true to the previous actions of the character, can anyone give me any insight as to why he was being super antagonistic to the dragons? I figured he would have deferred to them seeing as he used to work for their kind but he went the other way with that. Granted, at first he didn't know they were dragons but still...

I feel that sometimes it takes the unpredictability out of it, is all really.

To be honest, I was a bit surprised by the antagonism, given that he actually worked for dragons back in the day and really should have known what they were like. Based on his comments at the time, it seemed to be a personal player issue - the dragons' attitude reminded mdt of someone he disliked from his youth - which was expressed as a PC issue. I suppose you could say it conflicted with his paladin-ness, but then again he's chilled about hanging about with a necromancer. I guess we'll have to go with "It's complicated" - maybe reconciling all that could be a way of getting into the character from an RP perspective.

I d't have a clue why he was as antagonistic as he was. I understood the general defiant stance a few of us took given the path we've taken in the game, but I didn't really get Tal's particularly nasty stance towards them.

*shrugs*

I'd say at this point, you could kind of go whichever direction you wanted with that.

You guys are giving too much thought to what amounts to a severe case of Jet Lag.

Tal only needs a power nap and back to smiting infidels!

I gotcha, he must have found the only uncomfortable spot to nap on the ride over. I guess I'll run with the idea that they didn't get off on the right foot. As far as pal-ing around with the necromancer... he was chosen by the Silver Flame as well. There must be a reason for that so he wants to find out what it is.

Edit: I'm working on getting a character sheet typed up. Shouldn't be long before I have to endure the critiques... haha

Nice one - good to have you on board.

I've got the big items on here, enough to get started at least. I still need to add some more but duty calls.

Welcome, nice to see the group could be filled up again so quickly!

I see that as the benefit of it really. Granted vast majority of time I use it for routine stuff.(well routine for the character.) As say a blacksmith should not be messing up every 15-20th horseshoe he makes.

Regarding Tal.

I think Tal was playing up the honor part of paladin. And the dragons as the rest of them were acting very dishonorably in his worldview.(as far as I understood the char.) Regarding antogonistic view of dragons spesifically, he might have served dragons but weren't the commanders of his enemies also dragons. He could have seen his own leaders cause as just but not liking how they went about accomplishing it.

And Tal and Wultram are not pals by any means. They tolerate each other, mostly out of necessity at this point in time. They aren't excatly hostile towards eachother, but both have very strong opinions on what is right and how it is determined what is right and they disagree on few key fundamentals regarding those matters.

Oh and most importantly welcome aboard.

Indeed, looks like I won't have to kill anybody!

Thanks for the warm welcomes!

No, the commanders of the enemies weren't dragons - he wrote it but it certainly isn't canon and not my view. This was a war between the 'children' of Siberys (dragons) and Khyber (demons and rakshasas) fought out on Eberron.

On the point re skills above, agreed in general for routine matters.

Welcome, natloz! Glad to have you with us.

Indeed, looks like I won't have to kill anybody!

Hey! I was going to get Tal's stuff.

Funny story... As I don't need to eat or sleep you can have the bedroll and the mess kit and the pot and the rations and water skins. Did I need to list each item? probably not but I want you to know how generous I am... haha
