There is something to be said about a strait up cleric. They have a spell list that is unmatched by any other class. While I also like a rogue, I don't think there's enough traps for us to truly appreciate him. My vote is, albeit very slightly, towards Woki.
I'm also interested to see more halfling nature in this campaign, where they are so different.
To be clear, Grit has one lesser restoration spell memorized. He can heal 1d4 of ability damage. Who will benefit from that the most, Nnn or Raun? I know strength is important to Raun, but she has so much that being down 2 might not be a big deal. On the other hand Nnn might be severely hampered by the chr loss. Thoughts?
Hmm yeah -2 Str should only drop her hit and damage by 1. As long as she doesn't lose any more it should be fine.
I agree, we should give it to Nnn (can you imagine having this conversation IRL?). If we run into a foe that seems a big threat I'll cast bull's strength on Raun to make up for it.
normally i would say give it to Raun, especially since CHA isn't an important stat for me.
That said, after losing 3 CHA, i only have 2 left. So i could REALLY use that restoration, hahaha
Wow, 5. Yea, it needed to go to you. lol.
Howdy, ladies and gentlemen! It would seem I am bound to join you on the barren sands of Athas.
As a completely informal way to get to know one another, whom amongst you would you consider to have the most appeasing flavor? Slow roasted over an inix dung fire... /drool
*fireball*
Dark Sun Halflings man. As a player I love 'em, as a character I'm going to find him as appealing as Raun. Welcome aboard!
Huh, piranha strike is just power attack for weak people.
So, a few things I noticed.
1) You cannot spontaneously cast cure spells.
Bodily Manipulation (Sp)
An ascetic does not gain the ability to spontaneously cast cure or inflict spells by sacrificing prepared spells.
However, she can spontaneously cast the following spells by sacrificing a prepared spell of the noted level or above. As an additional limitation, only the ascetic can be the target of these spells.
2) You're short a feat. You get one at each odd level (including 1), you get toughness for free, and you get one at every even level due to your class. That should put you at 6. Although it looks like you simply forgot to record toughness.
3) How did you pick up poison use? Is that specific to halflings in the Dark Sun setting?
Dunno, I suspect half-giant might be a bit stringy and tough, especially of the barbarian variety.
Ahh, Woki will grow on you like the many aggressive molds and fungi of the Forest Ridge.
1) The DM and myself worked out which parts of Ascetic I could take as the base build is a little OP. I got the reduced weapons/no armor/no shield, increased skill points, and lost Channel energy for Wise Defense. I had the option to take Bodily Manipulation over losing Spontaneous casting of cure or inflict spells but I didn't want to lose all my on-the-fly healing ability since I already lost channel and as I heard a secondary/backup healer was desired for the group. If the need for another healer isn't a big deal, I could always flip some of the stuff around but the drawback for Bodily Manipulation is I am the only one to benefit from those spells as target can only be personal with it (also decided not to gain Mind Over Body for loss of one of my domains.)
2) Yeah, I forgot to record Toughness. Missed that we got that as a bonus feat. Everything else should be there.
3) It is listed between Nimble Attack and Swift as Shadows on the Halfling entry in the Dark Sun Races document supplied for this game.
IMHO bodily manipulation is a nerf, so by all means take the cure spells.
Sounds good mate, can't wait to see you in game!
Actually Woki, you don't get Toughness for free, as we nixed the bonus feats from the Ascetic archetype. As Woki mentioned, it has some cool flavor, but boy is it OP as written, so we knocked it down to something more reasonable.

Yeah, I noticed that when I was going back through to sort out gear and whatnot. Added and then removed it.
Well, if Mul is not to your tastes Grit can change into something more to your liking. Here to please. :)
Mul, human, elf. You're all pretty delicious with enough spices and/or sauces. Not that I'm saying you'll wake up one day minus a limb and Woki will have a full, satisfied gut nearby... but if you're not using it for anything else maybe Woki could take it off your hands (or feet).
Just keep in mind that Grit can assume forms that consider haltings a snack and in one level those forms will be large enough to swallow you whole. >:)
Circle of life.
Actually, being swallowed whole might not be such a bad thing. Easy access to all the good organ meats rather than having to cut through hide/scales/flesh to get at them.
Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, druids never gain the swallow whole ability. The do gain grab, pounce, and rake though. The get things like trample, but not trip. Its a strange mix.
while probably very nutritious, i doubt thri-kreen tastes good (isnt that almost always the case with nutritious things? heh)
Thri-kreen are male siblings from a completely different maternal figure so you guys are mostly off the menu (doesn't hurt that I don't have enough spices to make bug meat palatable.)
Folks, I've been slammed at work the past few days. Will get a post up late tonight that will have fun for everyone - including Woki!
Yay! Fun for Woki! Wait...it probably isn't that kind of fun. Oh well, you win some, you eat some.
/puts on a top hat and monocle
/holds saucer and cup of tea
Hrmm. Yes. Quite.
/sip
You guys are cracking me up. I probably should have included it in the House Rules document that everyone ignores Raun ... but I guess Woki can be the exception ;)
Well as in the jungle, when the tallest one in the area asks a question of the shortest... it usually goes better to answer. Either that or dig a deep, deep hole.
:D
Hahaha that is probably the second best houserule I have ever heard. (The Ethereal Dumpster is still my favorite)
Daina listens to Raun, but is too terrified of the giant angry woman to ever say much to her.
Heh, careful with the typos, DM, or before you know it Woki will have moved from worshiping the Para-elemental of Rain to the Para-elemental of Raun.
:D
and then you've have to start killing psionicists and mutilating their bodies.
NooooooooOOooOoooOoo
Hey folks. I got pulled in to work today (and tonight) due to some severe weather, but will move things along tomorrow, whether or not Gorkhan has posted.
I'm having some problems with my computer. Apparently I have no space left when I clearly have over 1.5 GB of free space but windows continues to crash all of my running programs. My posting may be spotty for a while.
Think I've had that problem before. I believe it's also caused by not have enough RAM, as when your computer runs out of RAM, it starts using your hard drive as 'virtual memory' instead, so if you have low ram and low hard drive space then it crashes.
Sorry for your troubles Daina. I am a Mac user and continue to operate mostly trouble free. I did have a hard drive failure about a year ago, but that is not an OS issue.
Daina if you find youre absolutely stuck with that situation, I'd try cutting a bunch of files off and onto an external HDD.
If the internal HDD wont boot because it's too full, you can get a slave cable for about $20 and take that HDD out and make it an external (long enough to get files off)
I got it working by doing a hard reset of firefox (don't judge me, my google chrome is really screwed up). However it reset all my settings so I have to go through and fix all that, my ad blockers in particular.

Did I forget to mention the house rule that Mac users get -10 percent XP? ;D
It would still be worth it. :P
I use firefox. All my bookmarks and saved passwords are there, and dag nabbit im not migrating
Got busy today at work but I'll get a post up later tonight or in the morning.
DM, had a plan for my next turn but I'm not sure how it works with RAW.
I want to 5 foot step to the right (on the same space Woki is), begin casting a summon spell, then use my shift ability to teleport to the right past Nnn. I'm not sure about the "sharing spaces" part of that.
Woki is far tankier than I am and I only need 1 round and I'll summon something a lot more dangerous than an eagle equivalent to fight off these bad boys.
The movement thing is weird, and I'm not exactly sure about RAW, but it's not a big deal so you can do it. What summoning spell are you using? You used Summon III against the belgoi and your Summon I to call the kes'trek'el.
*Glances at character sheet*
Not only do I not have summon monster 2 prepared, I don't even have it in my spellbook. Fail.
Short of casting haste I can't do much more since they seem resistant to fire (or at least really good at dodging it). And I'm kinda wanting to save haste since I have a sinking feeling there is a more difficult fight coming.
Well, your target, Vackus, is in the room to the north. It's not gonna get much worse.
I have no logical reasoning for thinking things are going to get worse, just a sinking feeling in my gut. Oh well, time to haste it up!
Basically all your friends fighting in the room to the north is screaming in agony every round. That might be a reason to at least peek in. :)
Heh, I think this is a pretty huge cluster-fudge enough to be the main event for today. We pretty much will have to rest up before going after the second clone I suspect.
Everyone is screaming in agony, except the normally noisy Raun, who is stonily silent (gritting her teeth :p). That might be even scarier.
Oh, Oh! Raun could make another attack, what action is it to activate her tattoo?
EDIT: nevermind, I found it, a swift action ^_^
I think those numbers should be right. Secondary attack (with a weapon anyway) so -5 to hit and only half str damage :(
Some unlucky rolls there Grit :s
At least Grit made the concentration check. :)
trying to move essentially 4 spaces up on the map, but with the wall in the way itll end up being a 5-space move to get around.
sorry for the sucky healing this bout guys, when the enemy consistently makes the will save (that i poured Ability Focus into on top of my +5 WIS mod), i can't sap life from them and the regular psionic healing abilities are pretty weak (lv3 spell equivalent for 15 HP healed). I would do my empathic healing, but i don't exactly have a lot of HP to play with after getting hit for 7d6
