House of Blades (Inactive)

Game Master Wrong John Silver

This is the alias for Bilbo. I have to get the sheet and backstory finished, but I like this fella, lol.

Okay so this is my War Wizard, he is mostly complete, just need help with some spellbook stuff, and some of the details about the War Wizard kit, mainly my Code of Conduct. In addition reading up on fighter/mages in the complete guide to elves, apparently they can cast spells while unarmored, wearing elven made armor (elven chain or plate), or magical armor.

I'm going to think some about the two extra spells I'll give you.

As for your Code of Conduct, normally it involves protection of some unit--in this case, loyalty to a unit will also work. So, what brings you to Mulmaster?

I'll also review the Complete Paladin's Guide for Code of Conduct guidance. I'll make sure we get all that together.

In the meantime, build a background. That will make it easier to develop the Code of Conduct.

Damn, this will be harder than I thought, so much competition.

Dlatha's alias.

Oh, unless we are doing max hp at lvl 1: hit points: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Blonde is obviously not Paizo's favourite female hair colour. Just saying.

I think I'll be from around Mulmaster, apparently there are plenty of elves, half elves, and human mages from around the area (using the wizards and rogues of the realms for flavor and a bit of research). From what I've read the mages from Mulmaster and the Moon Sea region dress like regular mages with robes, courtly mages, or even just as adventurers (as I have chosen) with one distinction, a prominently displayed weapon of some kind.

I am a worshipper of Eilistraee, very odd for a surface elf, but she is the only Elven (drow, but surface elves can worship her as a goddess of the moon as well) goddess of Swordsmanship. All the others use bows, I figure maybe my Unit will aid drow who seek lives on the surface, and if they turn their back on the ways of good destroy them.

I'll let everyone get max HP at first level.

For a Fighter/Mage or Fighter/Mage/Thief, that's 7.
For a Fighter/Cleric, that's 9.

Some notes on Mulmaster, to get the feel.

I'll flesh this character out more in a google doc and post the link here.

Exceptional Str: 1d100 ⇒ 86

Starting Cash: 5d4 ⇒ (4, 4, 1, 2, 3) = 14 => 140 gp

4d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 4, 1) = 17 = 16
4d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 3, 1) = 9 = 8
4d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 5, 4) = 18 = 14
4d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 4, 1) = 14 = 13
4d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 2, 2) = 13 = 11
4d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 5, 2) = 19 = 17

I would go with a Dwarf Thief kind of a device geek and a treasure digger but a diplomatic fella, maybe something involving the Shadow Thieves wanting to expand to Mulmaster?

Part of how the game works involves using the points you have to make your character, not rerolling the character until you meet prerequisites. You've got a good set of scores with three 14s, so no.

Now, you can still be an elf who learns the Bladesong style, nothing is stopping you from doing that.

Also, because of racial modifiers, you can still be a Bladesinger... if you're a drow.

The choice is yours.

Fair enough. I'll work out the details of my character tonight!

4d6 = 16

4d6 = 8
4d6 = 14
4d6 = 13
4d6 = 11
4d6 = 17

Roll for starting gold 2d6 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4 x10 = 40g

Never done pbp before and I don't know how to roll stats on here.

(dice)4d6(/dice) You actually use brackets, not parentheses.

There's a button at the bottom of the page "How to Format your text". The basics are all covered there.

Here's a good guide as well Guide

Ok lets see what I get.

4d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 1, 6) = 15
4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 4, 4) = 17
4d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 1, 2) = 12

4d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 4, 6) = 12
4d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 1, 4) = 11

14,14,11,14,11,10

Yeesh, this is gonna take a fair bit of work.

*Not sure if you want to track food/water on a daily basis or not so I just kept it to a couple of waterskins for the moment.

**Let me know if anything needs adjusting.

I think I'm out of the running on this one. Ah well. Never done PBP before, successfully. I need to be able to hear people and not have to mash refresh constantly. Maybe next time.

Kiesylan is here. Hopefully I haven't screwed it up completely. I waited with the spells since I saw you were choosing them for someone else?

Man i love me some 2nd edtion.. I have a Dual Class Fighter 7/Wizard 19 in a home game thats been around since early 2000s.. Also a 14/14 Fighter/Priest.. have player either of them in a couple of years now.. Setting was alawys homebrew with a bunch of house rules.. Ill roll first and then think on a build..

4d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 4, 5) = 21 17
4d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 3, 5) = 19 16
4d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 1, 1) = 14 13
4d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 1, 5) = 16 15
4d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 2, 5) = 13 11
4d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 5, 2) = 14 12

Not horrible i suppose. 17,16,15,13,12,11

Thinking about Sylvan Elf Fighter(Archer Kit)/Mage(possibly Transmutation spec)

If thats cool his stats would adjust too..

Str 18 1d100 ⇒ 61
Dex 17
Con 12
Int 16
Wis 12

Just asking, but would you consider wizards getting bonus spells from high int as priest do from there wisdom?

No, I wouldn't.

what about humanoids handbook? I love Firbolgs who doesn't want to play a giant Dwarf, or Ninja's Handbook, or Skills and Powers. If these are not allowed I wold like to play a Sundred Dwarf BattleRager, get my singing and gutrot drinking on.

4d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 2, 1) = 12
4d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 6, 1) = 12
4d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 1, 5) = 12
4d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 5, 4) = 20
4d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 1, 1) = 13
4d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 4, 4) = 15

wow 11,11,11,12,12,16 so average are rerolls allowed?

Edit: Made the equipment section a bit easier to read. As soon as you can let me know what his remaining two spells are, I'll get those noted on this "sheet".

Add Chromatic Orb (Complete Wizards) and Murdock's Feathery Flyer (Tome of Magic) to the spellbook.

I will allow the Humanoids book with review, just be aware that many humanoids won't be welcome in town. You probably don't need a reroll if you do that, then, because you'll be far from average enough.

No Ninja's (I don't have that one), and no Player's Option books.

I'll review everyone tonight again, just to be sure.

Norgrim you should try using a spoiler..

I think im considering going two weapon style with my build instead..

Do you allow:

Weapon Specialization
Extra Slots, if so how many
Two Weapon Style
Ambeidexterity

Thank you for reminding me of that, I'm running into a few first time uses of the formatting options. Getting the hang of it ;)

Sweet, Will most likely be a Firbolg Fighter. Need to review books when I get home from work. I will post later tonight. Thanks.

4d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 5, 5) = 14 = 13
4d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 4, 2) = 11 = 10
4d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 2, 2) = 7 = 6!
4d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 2, 6) = 15 = 13
4d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 2, 5) = 13 = 12
4d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 2, 2) = 12 = 10

Total = 64.

I'm going to have to ask for a reroll here. Let me know if that's allowable.

4d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 1, 3) = 7 = 6!
4d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 3, 6) = 12 = 11
4d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 4, 6) = 21 = 17!
4d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 5, 4) = 16 = 15
4d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 4, 2) = 13 = 11
4d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 6, 1) = 12 = 11

That's more interesting.

Starting gold (said pick best. Idk if that means best roll or best of rolls)

5d4 ⇒ (2, 4, 4, 3, 2) = 15 * 10 = 150
1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 * 10 = 30
2d6 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8 * 10 = 80

Either way I think it's 150 gold

Character

Most of my stuff is there. Still need to add magic stuff

I just have to figure out how to spend 36gp, how much would you say a basic spell component pouch costs? Maybe the cost of a belt pouch plus some?

Go ahead and look up-thread at my spoiler, I have that kind of equipment plus the costs to make it easier for you.

I'm not seeing where you spent the money for that. Could you point that out to me?

How would I with 14 int figure out what my 1st level spells are?

Under equipment, next to each item or multiples of an item is a total cost in parentheses. I abbreviated the currency types so instead of Copper Pieces, as an example, it's cp and so on.

The GM will let you know how many spells you start with and so forth.

4d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 4, 5) = 1715
4d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 3, 2) = 1513
4d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 2, 1) = 98
4d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 5, 2) = 1816
4d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 1, 3) = 109
4d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 1, 5) = 1615

I think a darven fighter/cleric might be in order

Yeah I'm not seeing those items on the list.

This might be easier to do then:

Equipment:
Sling w/20 Bullets (25 cp)
Common Robe (9 sp)
Cloth Cloak (8 sp)
Soft Boots (1 gp)
Belt (3 sp)
Breeches (2 gp)
Cap, Hat (1 sp)
Gloves (1 gp)
Backpack (2 gp)
Belt Pouches:
Large(2) (2 gp)
Small(3) (21 sp)
50' Hemp Rope (1 gp)
Sacks:
Large(1) (2 sp)
Small(2) (10 cp)
Torches(2) (2 cp)
Waterskins(2) (16 sp)

I should have bolded where needed when I originally posted, my mistake.

So pouches is all you need?

Yes, in the Player's Handbook there is no distinction between a pouch vs a spell component pouch.

Regarding spell components, some DMs track the dross religiously, others handwave it. For the most part, as long as they're items without value, I will handwave.

That's good to know.

Finally on vacations...

DM, I only have the paladin handbook, wich is setting agnostic. IN what book can I find the special kits for faerun deities?

I don't think I have that book anyway. FR Adventures, which I have, has specialty priests, but no kits.

I know I owe everyone guidance, but I'm going to have to turn in for the evening. I'll get cracking on organizing everyone tomorrow.

I have pdf's of all the FR books, including Warriors and Priests of the realm (this one has priest kits), Faiths and Avatars (lists the different deities and some alternate options namely specialty priests for the human deities), as well as Demihuman deities (this one also has specialty priests galore for all the non-human deities).

I decided to go warrior

Money: 5d4 ⇒ (2, 2, 3, 2, 4) = 13

I decided to go warrior

[dice=Money]5d4

Don't forget to multiply that by 10 so you don't short yourself.

This would be her. I only have to buy some miscellaneous items .
