Hrmm; as both an arcane and a divine caster, would I choose from both lists? Or would I be classified as arcane/divine based on which class I took levels in first/which class I have the most levels in.
Sorry, I mean feat lists. The NPC page specifies which feats arcane and divine casters get. I'm trying to figure out which one I am.
EDIT: Also, would my cohort be a Basic or Heroic npc?
|
you use your own feats, your Cohorts aren't gestalts...
-edit- I'm assuming heroic, because whatever we're fighting, they are going to die left and right, although on the other hand, I'm not sure why you'd bother with leadership... it's adding alot of complexity without alot of substantive benefit at this level...
? Hmm anyway it seems like I just choose any feats.
Next, assign the feats garnered from the NPC's total character level (one feat for every two levels beyond 1st). Remember that humans receive an additional feat at 1st level. For simplified feat choices, select feats from the lists provided for the following character types.
I take that as meaning they are feat suggestions; I can give my cohort any feats I want.
Why take leadership? I think my Theurge will add some substantive benefit to the party, and it works well with my character's backstory.
Crafting? Not intending on giving my character or her cohort or followers any crafting feats.
'Select from this list' actually wouldn't be too bad; all the metamagic feats are allowed, which is mostly what I wanted. I'd be okay with either.
Ok so if someone dropped, whos the next in line?
Was about to ask the same question :D
I sent Kaira a pm letting her know there was a spot as she was the first to ask for one after we were full, however she declined so Pox your up.
Then Trihedron, then Ashern.
How are we doing on characters?
Since the original drop was doing a druid, ill make one too.. Or i suppose i could do a cleric.. Any suggestions?
So the party consist of a
Half-orc Viking
Dread something/psionics, and there MT assistant..
An Inquisitor, Blackpower so i assume ranged..
A Oracle of Life
Wizard of Summoning
I really wanna make a storm druid, but the party would be alot better off with another melee it seems.. rats.. I suppose i could make a companion druid instead..
Ok so imma make a Reincarnated/Pack Lord Archer with a nice assortment of control spells.. Any objections to goin with a Drow Noble?
Actually I am full orc :) I am also pretty hard to kill so should make a good tank. If you want to be a storm druid, I say go for it :) we are lopsided with the magic but we should be able to cope.
I got most of the crunch done, just working on the backstory.
Sheets
Everything seems sorted out.
GM Arkwright, you have to have 2nd level divine and arcane spells to Prc MT.. With Cleric/Sorc you would be S4/C3/MT6...
And yea i saw he was pretty tanky beserk, but imma have a tiger to flank with :)..
@Werepox- those requirements are satisfied by the Fate inquisition and the Darkness half-elf racial SLA respectively.
I suppose your right, but thats alot of cheese lol.. No more than me playing a Noble Drow though i guess.. After reading the reqs though i dunno.. DM call i suppose, but notics how the word spell is plural.. Kinda leans to casting mutiple spells.. Again DM judgement i suppose..
Spells: Able to cast 2nd-level divine spells and 2nd-level arcane spells.
DM judgement maybe but this is actually confirmed FAQ that racial SLAs can can count. I can dig you out the ruling, but it isn't a question of convincing the DM of an interpretation, it's a question of convincing the DM not to implement a houserule against an established rule.
I think I made it clear when I first mentioned Leadership that I wanted to try out this new ruling...
So... I would be the next one in line... I'll be waiting in the shadows... MUAHAHAHAH!!!
By the way, if selected, I am planning on going Zen Archer ;)
I did in fact rule that I wasn't allowing the SLAs to qualify for that.
As for drow noble I'll accept it as long as you are 1 level lower than normal.
Honestly what is it with evil characters and monster races. your supposed to be heroes and I'm looking at a phychotic cult leading fear mage, an Orc viking and a drow noble?
At least the oracle makes sense. Thanks lantzkev for not over-complicating things lol.
Yea im not doing the Drow, although she was gonna be a CG surface dweller, not an evil underrace.. I think instead im doing a Aasimar i think..
I figured you were going surface dweller. You can go ahead and do it but if your going drow noble you lose a level. Otherwise make a regular drow.
So, new sheet updated; swapped out Leadership for Lunge. Anything else missing?
Yeah well technically you didn't even have them as racial spell-like abilities you just took a trait that gave you a spell-like ability once per day for each requirement.
Also I made a post in the campaign section that includes some important information that may affect character creation. I was going to keep it a secret until you were done but changed my mind as I don't want to screw over someone too badly.
Hrmm; can I ask how Psionic powers would be affected? They aren't spells.
Transportation and summoning abilities would be affected as well and require a check to use.
Need to back out. Working on Grad school application and will be a way this weekend. Not enough time to work on a decent high level character. Please put me on the reserve list.
Ok then
Well that makes me wanna reconsider my druid build.. -2 CL, ouch.. Ive got her done though..

Alright at glance it all looks good. Go ahead and trow an intro post in the campaign area and I'll review your character in more detail later.
Make sure to create an alias for your character and to have the stats listed in profile.
ouch those magic things are brutal on mt conjuration Wizard..hmmm must think more...i may have to rethink it some...maybe...would definatley give him a reason to save the world...
Would Robe of the Magi Help with the DCs of casting? or feats like spell penetration?
Yeah your character is the reason I posted the magic effects upfront.
Robe of the magi and spell pen wouldn't help as your not trying to overcome spell resistance. It's a caster level check to cast the spell trough interference blocking transfer of energy between the planes.
Sorry ashern one more person would have to drop out to make room for you as Trihedron was waiting for a spot. If he or another person I'm waiting for declines however your in. However get your character done just in case.
If I don't have everyone sheet by tomorrow I will take yours and start with however is else is ready. It shouldn't take more than 3 days to make a character. I'm gonna start tomorrow with however is ready at the time.
Alright, sounds good, I will make sure I am ready by then :)
Btw name change and avatar change, this is joseph bonkers/beserkerkreg.
Ok I transformed Galgar into A transmutation Wizard 15. I have Most of him, up in my Profile(still need to re-tweak his story). He's complete in Hero labs. Will Finish Enter Profile tomorrow.
Profile is made up.
So my guys crunch is done except I am having difficulties with the background :(
Basically he was from a barbarian tribe way up north that got in a fight with a viking warband. His side got decimated except for Bjorn who fought in a one on one duel with the vikings chief and won, granting himself a way out instead of death. He ends up joining up with this warband and eventually becomes accepted by them (begrudgingly, and never openly), especially by the chief who values him as a close friend and battle brother.
He was in a few skirmishes lately and noticed that the mages especially were having difficulty and their creations and summons running amok. He decides to set out and try and find out why this is happening and fix it if he can.
Beyond that I am at a loss... Any advice you can offer to help me with it?
Set yourself up in northern Avistan, the Realm of the Mammoth lords. Have your fellow born into a lesser following (tribe) and be attacked/assimilated into a greater one.
Work in progress, but current crunch has been updated on this alias for Trihedron - let me know your thoughts DireMerc.
profile up (mostly)
Looks good Trihedron go ahead and post in campaign if you wanna start in Magnimar I'l get the ball rolling with you and Wyatt.
Am I in?
Also if anyone wants to send me some background it helps me get you started :)
My Character is ready...
Excellent! I'll get you started
is there room for another?
