Expedition to the Ruins of Castle Greyhawk [3.5 D&D]
Game Master
Stiehle
3.5 Edition D&D campaign set in the environs of the City of Greyhawk.
Male halfling Swashbuckler 4/Warlock 7 Init: +3 | AC: 20 / FF: 17 / Touch 14 [+4 vs giants] | Fort: +8 / Ref: +10 / Will: +9 [+2 vs fear] | Speed: 30' | DR 2/cold iron | Attacks: +2 rapier +15/+10 to hit (1d4+3 damage); Eldritch Blast +14 to hit ranged touch (4d6+2 damage, range 250', x2)
OK finally got Reonnyn leveled up:
REONNYN Level UP:
Warlock: Level 5 to Level 6.
* +1d6 ⇒ 3 HP
* +1 to BAB and saves.
* +1 Invocation (Lesser): Flee the Scene
Warlock Invocation
Level: Lesser, 4th lv.
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Short (25+5/2lv)
Duration: 1 round
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes
You can use Dimension Door as a spell-like ability; albeit the range is reduced to Short Range. When you use this ability, you leave a Major Image behind in your place that lasts for 1 round. The image reacts to attacks as if you were concentrating on it.
*Skills:
Diplomacy +1
Hide +1
Spot +1
Search +1
*Flaw: Meager Fortitude
Bonus Feat: Extra Invocation (Dark One's Own Luck)
Least Invocation; 2nd
You are favored by the dark powers if you have this invocation. You gain a luck bonus equal to your Charisma bonus (if any) on Fortitude saves, Reflex saves, or Will saves (your choice each time you use this ability) for a period of 24 hours. You can’t apply this ability to two different save types at the same time. This bonus can never exceed your class level.
I wanted to give Reonnyn a Flaw here to represent the fell powers that have infected his body here. Needless to say Reonnyn will apply the Luck bonus (+2) to his Fortitude save.

Nice! All it took was the GM throwing a demon at you, eh? :)
All level-up changes go into effect immediately - except for spells and/or other abilities that require a rest to acquire.
Neb, don't forget to roll those HP! If you roll less than half your hit die (i.e. '4' for a d8), you get that half hit die amount instead.

Male Human (Aren't we all? Folks need to remember that!) Epic Level GM (35+ years!)
Ha! Well, he is a LG cleric after all! I'll roll initiative and get a quick post up tonight. Basically Verdan got in a surprise attack to open the melee. Again, you're roughly 50' away from the demon as described, though I'll try and get a map up when I make the post.
I'm traveling through next Tuesday so after my post and (hopefully) map update, I won't be posting until then - so you all will have plenty of time to figure out strategy!

Change Morrow's action then please?
Hearing the cleric's response Morrow alters his mental plan and strides forward drawing his big sword. As he moves he speaks the words of a spell to make his strike more true. (True Strike)
Moving at a measured pace, 20' unless Morgrym decides to charge....
Male Human (Aren't we all? Folks need to remember that!) Epic Level GM (35+ years!)
No problem Morrow, didn't get the chance to post last night anyway. I'll try to get something out before my vacation, but might have to wait until I get back.

Man I really want this to work but the to hit is just too low and the saves suck gah I am getting upset at trying to make something good for the group and good with damage as a front line fighter and keep elements of my build.
Male Human (Aren't we all? Folks need to remember that!) Epic Level GM (35+ years!)
Sorry you're having a rough time, Morgrym. Just make a character you enjoy playing. Don't worry about coming up with the ultimate damage dealing character or anything like that. The game is meant to be fun, and stressing about creating the best possible build doesn't sound fun to me!
Male Human (Aren't we all? Folks need to remember that!) Epic Level GM (35+ years!)
By the way, I'm planning to level everyone's character sheet up sometime this weekend, at which time we will start Round 1 (if everyone has posted by then.)
Morgrym, if you're still struggling then, feel free to go with your current character. The party will likely need a fighter type to deal with the demon if you're going to battle it out!
If I'm still looking for posts by the end of the weekend, I'll post PC actions as best I can where needed.
Male Human (Aren't we all? Folks need to remember that!) Epic Level GM (35+ years!)
Ugh, sorry folks - I was busy this weekend. I'll look to get character sheets updated this week and hopefully post Round 1 by Friday.
Male Human (Aren't we all? Folks need to remember that!) Epic Level GM (35+ years!)
Everyone's character sheet is updated. Take a look at your Official Character sheet (link in the Gameplay thread) and scroll to the bottom. Please double check and make sure it looks good. If so, let me know and I'll cut/paste over the original in the top post of the thread and I'll delete the draft post at the bottom.
If I had notes, I sent you a PM.
Oh Morrow, you need to roll your HP as well, I think!

Everything looks good here GM West, though Reonnyn has 64 HP, not 63.

OK, I've got everyone's Official Character Sheets updated to 10th level. Thanks folks! I'll work on that combat post soon, probably tomorrow sometime if I get the chance!
Reonnyn, you can use your Dark One's Own Luck invocation once this battle is over. Assuming you survive!
Male Human (Aren't we all? Folks need to remember that!) Epic Level GM (35+ years!)
I've decided to move on from Morgrym and open up recruitment for another character to round this group up to 5 active players. I'm going to push for a rogue-type build, preferably one that get hold their own in combat as well. I think that'd round out this party quite nicely.

Just wanted to let you know I'm still around, just busy at work (October 15th deadline for extended taxes is nigh!) Between that and trying to get my entire October work calendar finished up in the first two weeks of the month (I'm taking a two-week vacation for the latter half of October), it's been pretty busy for me of late, and I'm frankly kinda drained by the time I get home.
So that said, I'm going to give myself a break for the rest of October, and will plan to resume posting around November 6th or thereabouts. I might sneak a post in before then, just don't want to pressure myself to do so, and if indeed I'm just absent until that first week of November I wanted you all to know why.
Rest assured, I'll be back and we'll proceed full steam ahead as you continue this terrible battle! Thanks in advance for your patience everyone! :)

No worries, I am packing for a move from the State of Washington to Texas.
Lots of boxes to pack and crap to sell.

A little town call Elkhart right near Palestine.

About halfway between Dallas and Houston! Think I recall passing through Palestine on a road trip or something... Hope the move goes well!

Just to let you know I am in the processing of moving. And with the holidays coming up please BOT me if needed. I will try and keep up with my posts, but at this time my new place does not even have internet service and the soonest they can get there I am told is December 3rd.
Heya GM West, I was thinking about creating a rogue but it needs some flavour, I was hoping that he could make some potions and able to use them
Something like the alchemist

Hi Dutch! I'm not keen on those Homebrew classes in general, they aren't usually playtested to my satisfaction.
I did find a 'legal' class called the Artificer that might work for you?

Hey West, sent some questions in PM towards you. Maybe you missed it.
Male Human (Aren't we all? Folks need to remember that!) Epic Level GM (35+ years!)
Sorry for delay folks, had a busy holiday with the kids (fun!), then got sick (not so fun...) and now playing catch up at work (I'd rather be sick...) I'll post an update this week for sure! Just not sure exactly when. Thanks for your patience!

heya West, I posted Aurora's Character sheet on the d20 World of Greyhawk Board
Male Human (Aren't we all? Folks need to remember that!) Epic Level GM (35+ years!)
Perfect Aurora, thanks! I'll bring you in ASAP and look over your character as time permits. I'm not terribly familiar with this particular character class and all the intricacies, but we can 'fix' things as needed on the fly as the adventure develops.

Hey West. Did you get a chance to lookup my char?
Male Human (Aren't we all? Folks need to remember that!) Epic Level GM (35+ years!)
Hey Aurora! Where is your character sheet exactly? The one in the PM is too tough for me to try and sort through. I really need you to create a standard character sheet like the ones we used to use on the WoG board, OR the ones here on the Paizo board.
Here are a couple of examples for you to look at:
Paizo Board Character Sheet for Verdan
WoG Board Character Sheet for Verdan
Note that I will eventually create your 'Official' character sheet on the WoG board myself, as I prefer the layout there as opposed to the Paizo board - as I've done for everyone else.
Once you've got your character sheet created, feel free to throw down any questions you might have for me on the sheet itself (or as a reply, if on the WoG board.) Thanks!

heya west
On the artificer class there is this line
Many infusions have long casting times, often 1 minute or more. An artificer can spend 1 action point to imbue any infusion in 1 round (like a spell that takes 1 round to cast).
I know 3.5 doesn't have action points, is this possible to be translated to 3.5? Many of the infusions require 1 minute ( so 10 rounds ) to cast.
If not then no biggy, I just want to know what she can do
Male Human (Aren't we all? Folks need to remember that!) Epic Level GM (35+ years!)
Hmm... yeah, I'm not a fan of action points. Let's revamp to say you can infuse a number of spells equal to half your level in one round (instead of the standard 1 minute.)
Female Human (Oerdian) Artificer 10 | Init: +3 | AC: 18 / FF: 17 / Touch 11 | Fort: +3 / Ref: +4 / Will: +6 | Speed: 30' | Attacks: longsword+1 +8/+3 to hit (1d8+1 damage); Crossbow+1 1d6+1

About that magic item detection, that would work if Aorora could have cast Magic item, instead she has that Artificer Knowledge skill. She does however have the identify in her spell list
Artificer Knowledge wrote: : An artificer can make a special artificer knowledge check with a bonus equal to his artificer level + his Int modifier to detect whether a specific item has a magical aura. Testing dice

That works just fine, again in conjunction with a Spellcraft check.
