Hey guys!
So this will be the Discussion thread for the CC campaign. Get yourselves aquainted, and please make sure everyone has all their gear and point-buys set to 25. Other Character creation rules are in the Campaign info tab.
I'm interested in how this party make-up can perfom in-combat. You guys don't neccesarily have a "Tank", but I feel you have enough mystical means to make that a non-issue.
Also, I plan on implementing Hero Points. I'll post up some rules for it soon. Once I have the Ok from you guys, go ahead and post in the gameplay thread.
Feel free to ask any questions.
Dantrian here, reporting for duty - thanks for drafting me! I'll work on getting my profile updated to this campaign and will let you know when it's done. (likely tomorrow)
Maya reporting in as well. I'll try to get my mundane items in order tomorrow.
-Far,far away from Carrion Crown, in fact almost on the other side of the world, a half-orc awoke, covered in sweat. He had a strange dream, his friend, the Professor, needed help. What kind of help? Why? It didn't matter, so Mubutu got up, packed his things, and left his hut...
...after arriving in Bloodcove, he worked his way on a ship to Nidal, and continued his travels westward, taking odd jobs like carvan guard and even cook, always getting closer to his goal of reaching Ustalav
...Now at last he is here.
I'm taking a healer's kit, a staff, and a drum...gear on profile page.
Alright - Stats increased from 20 to a 25 point buy (bumped Dex from 14 to 16) and starting gp increased from average to max (bought 2 extra self-made potions).
Quick question regarding Dantrian's campaign trait: Subject of Study. It would fit perfectly with his history if he could take Humanoid(shapechanger), but the player's guide specifically calls for a non-humanoid creature type. Would humanoid(shapechanger) be allowed?
Korvus Slade checking in. Thanks for the opportunity to participate!
Cassandra here, will update character and be ready to go.
Hi everyone.
Mundane items purchased, sheet updated:
Alkali Flask
Chalk, 1 piece (10)
Flint and steel
Potion of Cure Light Wounds
Rope, silk (50 ft.)
Smoke Pellet
String (50')
Sunrod (2)
Thieves' tools
Weapon Cord
Wrist Sheath, spring loaded (Smoke Pellet)
Wrist Sheath, spring loaded (Dagger)
~31gp leftover
Okay, Cassandra has been updated and is ready to go.
Wow, I didn't realize that we are basically Team Caster. I had initially planned to focus Dantrian's mutagens on Dex to further bump his AC and to rely on ranged attacks with his bombs - with so few brawlers though I'm considering bumping my Strength to 16 instead of my Dex and having the mutagens focus on strength most of the time.
I'll get claws and a bite at level 2 while my mutagen is in effect - maybe I'll rely on them and early full attacks instead of bombs.
Plus with Maya, Dantrian can play back-up trap disarmer instead of primary like he'd been initially built toward... so, yeah, I think I'll make these adjustments and steer him to be more close-quearters fighty and less bomb-throwy.
Thoughts? Objections?
Maya loves people in melee with her (flanking!) :)
Alright! Changes made to steer Dantrian to a more pokey/stabby role than a bomby/explodey one. So, for 10 minutes a day, he can poke or smash someone/thing pretty hard now.
Once I've got an answer on the campaign trait question, Dantrian will then be all set!

Yep, that's not a problem.
And as far as team caster... yeah I know. But I think you guys will do fine. I sort of assumed Dantrian would be more on the melee side. (My bad) but either way it will work. The bombs should prove useful regardless.
Yep, that's not a problem.
Awesome! Thanks!

That's part of what I liked about the idea behind focusing on the mutagen - I could either do melee or ranged as the party needed. I just hadn't looked at the full roster before my initial retweak and was still in the "primarily ranged" mindset from his previous submission. It's all good now though =)
You don't need to do it now, you can wait until/if you multi-class.
So guys, feel free to meet yousrselves in the gameplay thread. You are all present at the funeral. Game will start to roll officially when I get answers to Kendra's request for volunteers.
I'm gonna need a yes or no from everyone before we proceed.
I've got the healing hex, and will be taking the plague patron. I'm going to be the main healer. I can also brew up some healing potions. So even though I'm an arcane caster, I'm also the heal bot...sort.

Don't sell the Oracle of Life short.
And don't sell the Alchemist short either! lol - as a party, I think we are going to have at-cost CLW potions coming out our ears =)

lol, I would hope so! But don't get too carried away, the adventure in general has some time restrictions(Most demonstrably in the 2nd book).
Also, I'm not against crafting in general, but please try to keep away from custom items.
@Mubutu - Have you chosen a familiar?
Now that I think about it. Guys, can I get a post of what's currently memorized by you guys for spells?
Post here in this thread for that. I'll assume the memorizations will stay the same between adventuring days until I'm notified otherwise.
It's a rat in his bag...he's hiding in there.
I list the spells I have prepared on my profile (just above the Equipment spoiler). Currently I've prepared the cantrips Acid Splash, Mage Hand, and Prestidigitation, and first level spells Grease, Mage Armor, and Summon Monster I.
I'll move the story along tomorrow, I just want to give more people a chance to converse with each other and/or Kendra. The 5 of you will be enough to carry the coffin with no problem.
Dantrian's prepared extracts are in his profile as well, though I'll repeat them here for ease of reference.
2 level 1 slots
enlarge person
open slot
(since extracts only take 1 minute to prepare, I figure I'll leave that one open to be a bit more flexible in my available extracts)
Just an FYI, I'm on vacation next week so I won't be able to post very often. Also I need to wrap up some loose ends at work before I go so don't expect too much more in the way of posting this week as well. I will get a post up when I get home from work tonight.

That's all right, I'm trying to get a post in a day, and I would not like to stall the game, just to keep the momentum going. Would you like me to assume Cassandra is moving along with the group? (That way I would DMNPC her in combat if needed? Or would you rather me just skip turns if neccesary?
-What language is spoken in Ustalav? I don't mean common, I mean the usual everyday human language?
Common, Skald, Varisian
Well...here we are...but only the professor is in containers.
Just a heads-up: I will be on vacation from Saturday, June 23 through Sunday, July 1. The place we're going supposedly has NO internet access. Please feel free to 'bot Korvus accordingly during that time. Thanks!
Still with us DM? Just checking in as it's been a week since the last update
I'm thinking no...but we'll see.
