Bump
From the sounds of it I imagine people are put off by the 5 per day posting requirement and harsh GMing.
For me? That sounds like a match made in heaven :)
Let me take a look, see what I can find, but this interests me greatly, especially if you are posting often :)
Well that is ok all the other four players and Myself post very , very often. that it does make for a very fast paced game and we like it.
1) yes this is a 100% Add 3.5 Rule set game
2) combat rules are pretty much the same as pathfinder (after all pathfinder was created with 3.5 and made some minor changes here and there) The most prominent change (on top of my mind rule wise are special maneuvers like grapple, bull rush, trip etc) There is no CMB/CMD secondary stats. Concentration is a skill that you can put skill points into. class skill do not receive +3 bonus. there are no traits / racial traits
4) its add 3.5 for everything. therefore there are no sorcerous bloodlines, magus, witch etc...
5) there are no pathfinder rule set books/class/spells in use therefore no compatibility issues.
6) you can find SRD 3.5 online resources in one of my post in the discussion on the 1st page to make your character.
Alrighty sweet :) I have done some research on you guys, know what system I am playing now, so now time to create a character :D
Sure.
if you have more question either from the rule set, or the world don't hesitate to ask. i am here for that.
as a reminder you don't have to ask for permission to use any feat/class/race put forth in the authorized books.
Just be ready to assume the consequences of it :) (meaning you immediate environment NPC etc...)
well anything could be useful to the group.
a second divine combatant
a second arcane
a second pure melee
a druid
a ranged specialist.
etc...
the beauty of 3.5 is that there are lots of meaningful full base class build options and lots of prc combos.
Hello there, I have read your description and decided to dig out my 3.5 books :D
For such a challenge that you are posing, I would most definitely like to play a druid - I have very fond memories of AD&D Druids ;)
Also I would like to ask if you would allow the possibility of (eventually) progressing into a Planar Shepherd (from Faiths of Eberron).
I should be able to have a character up by tomorrow if the idea is accepted.
Hello there and thank you for your interest.
Unfortunatly we are playing in greyhawk, so no faith of eberron is allowed.
Fair enough - I will take my chances in putting in a more straightforward druid then.
Thanks.
Sure straight druid works nicely
ok the story and stats are in my profile tell me whether or not you want Jorro onboard.
Yup, still very intrested, just poring through dnd tools and trying to get a good handle on what to play :) dnd tools is a lot better at listing source material so I am having an easier time of it.
I am trying to make a dwarf in heavy armor and shield and shield bashing, but have a question, how does cometary collision work exactly? The writing is a little confusing. That and is there any way to use dex for damage? I saw lightning mace and was thinking of making something off of that :)
Still very much interested!
For gobo: its actually quite simple. Cometary collision is a counter charge action.
You ready it.
Should any one charge.
If you can intercept due to mouvement and angle you can.
Target loose charge bonus
You attack it
Target get to chose either attack you or to continue on original target of his charge
also i have looked rapidly trough my book you can add int to damage via shwachbukler but i don't recall dex
there is a feat for crossbow to use 1/2 dex for damage tough
to jorro: Well submission ends today you are therefor included for my review. i will announce the lucky winners tonight
To all 3 of you.
please remember that i would be closing tonight. so have something for me to review (at least some basic stuff) you can always polish a bit later if chosen.
Has been a long time since I have tackled 3.5 - I am giving the runaround to the druid, should be finished soon.
Question: Would the Fleshraker Dinosaur from MMIII be acceptable as an animal companion?
unfortunately no there are no Dino in Greyhawk there were all extinct long time ago.
you can use alternate animal (is your race give you access or alternate option) form race of the wild.
sorry :-(
Ok, I have managed a skeleton of the character and companion done - I've set it up on this alias but may change the image on it later on, and perhaps some minor adjustments if it is ok (namely I have some money left, and am deciding on what to spend it).
I would go for a little more optimization (as companions and feats go) since "Enemy are intelligent,organized and ruthless, if you fall they WILL try to finish you off..." :D
Do let me know if the character is acceptable along these lines.
you can for as far as you want in terms of optimisation (limit are rules and book authorized) what did you have in mind?
so far crunch looks good to me.
(i'll check stat point buy and cash spended later)
In terms of optimization, what I had in mind was mainly the Fleshraker Dinosaur companion - it is good enough to make it worth not swapping companions at all as one levels up, which is an appealing idea to me.
And the other idea was the Prestige Class I asked about earlier - the Planar Shepherd - that one is all about optimization :D
I didn't even go into stuff like Greenbound Summoning, Rashemi Elemental Summoning or Ashbound, so as not to over complicate things. And I am sticking with your off the bat human, instead of stuff like Elans (no psionics anyway), Shifters, or even stuff even more crazy like the Anthropomorphic Bat ;)
So I have got 2 concepts I have settled on first one is a dwarf fighter clad in heavy armor, a tower shield and a good one-handed weapon. His feats would be power attack, imp bull rush, cometary collision, quick attack and one other. He would charge someone wielding his weapon two-handed then quickdraw his shield and fight sword n board. At level 5 he would get leap attack and be a fun little pouncer :) I don't know if you can quick draw a shield so I may have to change a few things around, I was hoping to make something work with a tower shield but that might be a lofty goal. I had also wanted to make use of the blood spiked charger but the prerequisits make that unfeasable :(
The second concept was to play a human Barbarian two-handing and focusing on sundering. He would have imp sunder, power attack, distructive rage and monkey grip. He would still be a decent barbarian, just extra effective at breaking stuff :) pity you can't sunder armor :(
Well you'll have to thing of something else for optimization
as
Dino are extinct in Greyhawk
Planar shepard and Ashbound are Eberon specific
Greenbound Summoning, Rashemi Elemental Summoning are FR specific
Elan is a psionic race
Anthropomorphic bat and so forth are Savage Species....
If you want to sunder your possible loot please go ahead gobo hord i won't mind... :)
You can quickdraw a light shield or buckler
both build sound find to me
for the dwarven concept go look at deepwarden (race of stone) and dwarven defender (DMG)
Well you'll have to thing of something else for optimization
as
Dino are extinct in Greyhawk
Planar shepard and Ashbound are Eberon specific
Greenbound Summoning, Rashemi Elemental Summoning are FR specific
Elan is a psionic race
Antropomophic bat and so forth are Save Species....
Hehe, that's fine - Will go as is ;)
there are a few druid Prc that are interesting (druid/mage => arcane heirofant, druid/rogue => can't remember name but its in complet adv i think and there is the druid Master of many form)
Deepwarden looks pretty neat!
About the barbarian, I realize it is very similar to asherns character :( unless he is willing to play as brothers or from the same tribe or sumsuch I should probably stick with the dwarf, still the possibility of playing as we brothers grimm could be lots of fun :D
As for the dwarf, I will have to do some reorganizing as he just dosnt quite mesh together as well as I had hoped :( so still thinking on how best to build/play him.
up to you for the twin barbarian.
as a personal advice. low AC barbarian do not survive long once into mid level.
Heighten doesn't let you qualify for early entry (Sorry to once again drop the DM hammer)
i am currently playing one with a druid 4 / wizard 3 / ArcH 3 (in a home game from level 1) and she has been a ton of fun.
My thing with Arcane Hierophant is, probably because I never actually played one (furthest I got on a Druid was something like... level 9, and I was REALLY enjoying it as single class), I have the feeling that those needed levels to get the arcane spells really BITE as far as your companion and your druid abilities progress.
I have read a lot of debate about it, and of course the opinions are divided - you do have feats to compensate fro the animal companion level and so forth, and of course one can never deny that progressing in both arcane and divine spellcasting... well... Is just sweeeeeeeet.
On the other hand, I like the Moonspeaker (Eberron :/) and the Lion of Talisid.
well it is a completely different way of playing (like mystic thurge, ultimate magus, arcane trickster etc...)
yup there are some interesting stuff in Book of exalted deed (overpowered fist of raziel anyone?)
Question of note gm, are you looking for more of a melee or ranged warlock? As with a 32 point build and the right feats I could give you a warlock knight if you want that.
its really up to you Jorro.
so far in the party the barbarian and the cleric are melee. There aren't any ranged character.
I'll keep it ranged then a question though do you want a backstory addition describing where Jorro got his power? Or would you prefer to keep it your own mystery?
i'd rather have a rough outline of how he did just in case it would conflict with current stuff in greyhawk.
Jorro derives his power from ancient pacts that were sworn by family members buried deep in the past (think six generations ago) he is the result of devil worship. The pacts that were made so long ago are now forgotten by him and his family. Why the pact has activated in Jorro is a complete unknown, perhaps an arch devil has plans for him?
careful there with that jorro. there one major power on greyhawk: Iuz (Demi God) he is the son of demon prince Graz'zt and is currently residing in the world. and has been tracking all those who serves Hell and show some power.
Greyhawk is very different from FR as no gods may decent upon the world. Therefore no avatar.
i would highly recomand you do not include arch devil in your mix
what alternatives are available lore wise? It must be something suitably fiendish.
i could have been just a simple fiendish codex that gave a detail instruction on how to make a simple "bargain" create a "devil gem" and via ritual incrust into just born baby.
GM I'm dropping out. goodluck
Huh. I guess that makes it me :D
Well I have my guy fleshed out in my head, most of his crunch done, now I just need to get items and get his backstory done. I am quite enjoying this character ^-^ He is a 4th level barbarian that has a roguish streak and I intend on taking a level of rogue at 5th, if I survive that long :P
I will get him all done by tonight!
Gobo hord and silvanus. please head to discussion thread.
You are both in
Dang! Thanks man.
Pllllrp. If I could have found this a DAY earlier...
very sorry twigs
All the best with the game. Consider me madly jealous.
