Beacons of Hope: Wrath of the Righteous!

Game Master GM the Fifth

I don't think anyone's going anywhere. :D

It will be like the Xmen meeting X Factor during Inferno.

To my fellow recruits, I just want to state that Arloric will be undergoing a few tweaks before we actually start, including his archetype shifting from Nature Fang to Goliath Druid, and his weapon of choice shifting from longsword to greatsword. Asmodina's approved it already, and I think it'll better represent the character I want him to be! :)

Can you use a two handed sword and still get your druid powers?

I am attempting to get Merlin into a RoW game. I shall be paying attention to this game too. There is a lot of applicants for that one too.
I really enjoyed this IC thread!

We are hoping to have the occasional "crossover" event.

I like the sound of this.

if it means I get to RP with you wonderful folks some more, I'm all in!

This, too.

I am excited to do the "rebuilding" of Kenabras, I have ran the first 2 books of this AP, over a year ago and I remember a bit but it will be fun.

It's a simple matter of taking one hand off the hilt to wave it around for any somatic components I need, or to brandish my holly and mistletoe. You just skip attacking to cast the spell.

I reread the druid description it is using metal armor that denies the powers.

Wow!

Asmodina - I do not envy you're position. You have had a lot of outstanding applications to look through!

Thank you very much for letting me be part of this, I'm greatly looking forward to it!

Ta da.

Azura said she'd take care of it. And, I think it is doable and will be a great crossover and stand alone to the adventure path. Much of the crossing of the over I suspect should happen in part three and four of the first module.

Ok! Are you not in the adventuring party? Go here and check in on the Discussion thread to join in the rebuilding of Kenabres!

I don't see Ik-Ha-Thruun staying around, I have in my head that one day he would be powerful force for Good, Law, and Vengeance, not a peon. It just doesn't make sense to me to force him into a situation where he remains the same while others grow stronger.
While I would love to RP with all of you, I simply don't want to alienate the character in my head from what he is by having him being a helpless in someone elses story.
Not exactly sure if any of that made sense to anyone other than me

The rebuilding will be its own set of challenges. Characters will continue to advance, largely because if we need to take someone to fill in a lost/dropped party member for this game, the character will need to be at the appropriate level and gear value.

Does that mean the rebuilding with have mythic...ness?

Would mean that we would have too, otherwise it wouldn't fit...

My current plan is that the rebuilding section won't use mythic elements, but if a character winds up being a replacement for the adventuring party they would acquire the Mythic Spark. But this is subject to change if necessary. Mythic stuff is of... limited utility in this particular endeavor. If Asmodina thinks it would be best to keep mythic elements in play for the rebuilding, then it'll stay. Otherwise it's a level of additional complexity that probably wouldn't contribute much for most characters.

My basic thinking is this: When the focus will be on rebuilding the town and the community, Mythic Weapon Focus or Mythic Eschew Materials is not going to help you a lot on stuff like constructing a new city wall or convincing a horde of desperate survivors that they should give all their food to a communal pool. Now, you might be tempted to take stuff like Mythic Skill Focus so that it does help in those scenarios... but if you wind up getting recruited into the expeditionary force in the main group, you might wind up with a bunch of Mythic choices that don't help there! So I don't want you to feel like you have to make Mythic picks based on one kind of game, and then get punished if you switch to the other group at some point. But, maybe Asmodina would let you just re-spend your Mythic advancement track if you get moved to the other group, in which case it wouldn't matter. Maybe she can chime in later when she's around. :)
