Best wishes Laz! Hope to see you again!
:)
(I luved Seram BTW. I'm pretty sure he's the only character I've met who's crazier than Manny!) ;)
Hi gang, just wanted to check in to see who (if anyone) wanted to stick around for a continuation of the adventures of our plucky loons (should they survive!). So far, I have (apologies if I missed something):
Rosey - Akahale - YES
Rags - Manny - YES
Pat - IT - NO
Mon-Soul - Grafire - Unknown
If he lives, Akahale will rebuild himself and go on further outings.
Manny and Akahale need to bring out whatever big guns they have left at this point. And the others need to pray for a 20 on their death saves.
Um,... Those WERE Manny's big guns! ;P
Seriously, the only powers he has left that might be better than a MM are close powers! Not good, not good,...!
Akahale's only really got at-wills left himself bar one daily that isn't necessarily a lot of use and in any case targets Fort, which is always a bummer with big monsters.
Grafire rolling that 20 may well make the difference. If he can possibly get Rowan back on his feet, there's a Cure Serious Wounds our cleric can apply. Only if he's conscious, of course.
Sigh. Really wish I was building Akahale now. I love him dearly, but he's far from well-built. Mind you, that applies to most of my pcs.
I'm with you Rev. I'm hardly a Min-Max'er in general.
Flavour every time for me in general, but there are some very nice warlock-friendly feats that came out after he was made that he could take and would make sense for him.
Rosey - Akahale - YES
Rags - Manny - YES
Pat - IT - NO
Mon-Soul - Grafire - YES (upon being raised)
So, for your next adventure, you have 1 Controller, 1 Striker, and 1 Leader; looks like you need 1 Defender and then someone in any other role.
If it's ok, I will post up in Gamer Connection.
I'm retooling Akahale with your permission. Stats will stay the same, but I'd like to completely re-do his feats and powers as an awful lot has changed in the 20 months since he was created :D
Same goes for everyone - create a Level 9 version of your PC. As long as you keep the stats, race and class the same, feel free to retool them in terms of feats, powers etc. Please keep magical items etc the same though. Elder Hammerwing will have gifts for you as well, so a wishlist from each of you would be helpful.
Akahale is taking Killing Curse, so a +2 (even +3?) rod of any kind would be lovely - it no longer needs to be vicious as he gets the d8 curse damage from the feat.
Otherwise, something to make him a little less squishy - Irrefutable is all very well, but I don't think he used it once. Swapping it out for Armour of Dark Majesty would be nice.
He no longer has a neck slot item (Grafire is wrapped in the Cloak of Distortion).
Otherwise, your discretion. Some kind of boots or gloves would be nice.
Are you letting us take level 9 starting gold? If so, some of this can be picked up at the shops in Drachenholme maybe.
I can rule that a few months in Manny's workshop can transfer/alter any armour/weapon/implement properties.
I'll look at the money situation, as Ashenport is a notoriously treasure light adventure. Some of it can be a wage of sorts from Drachenholme, and some from rewards of the merchant companies.
If you raise Grafire, you get your cloak back :D
Cool. Thx Fabes. I'll take a look-see and see what, if anything, strikes my fancy. He didn't do that badly. Although in PbP it is difficult to (easily) use his staff of defense ability. ;S
I'll take a look at the generator and see what it pops up with.
Akahale has taken Superior Implement Expertise and now craves an Accurate rod of some kind.
OK, the easiest thing is to go straight to Level 9 treasure.
So, replace all your current items and money with the following:
1 Level 8 item
1 Level 9 item
1 Level 10 item
3,400 gp (to be spent on whatever you like, which includes magic items)
Grafire - please be aware that if you are raised from the dead, you will be taking a -1 penalty to all attack rolls, skill checks, saving throws and ability checks. This penalty goes away once you have passed 3 milestones.
I will assume that Rowan took on the 500gp cost of casting the ritual.
I will also open a thread in Gamer Connection to garner 2 new players.
I am in. Woot!!! -1 to test the steel of the Warlord. I can't believe some of the things that he did actualy worked out. I will add the -1 check to his data.
That's the spirit! You guys are a brilliant group - let's hope we can get two more loonies, I mean heroes. :D
By the way Fabes I think you did a great job of DMing.
How does it work with health potions. Are they possible to buy or are they made by a party alchemist...
Thank you very much!
You can buy them with the 3400 gp, just like anything else. They are an oft overlooked commodity.
Akahale is now updated. His defenses seem completely rubbish still, but I can't find a way to get them any higher.
You have to imagine the training montage that has taken place since the events of Ashenport.
I have us on 17,510 hard-won XP. Can we keep those? Not that I'm assuming we'll live to level, but the chances are surely a bit better if we're half way there :)
Yes.They were well-earned.
BUgger me!!! :P
ALright, I spent almost 3 hours last night trying to find/download/use some sort of PC creator to update Manny.
The best I found was a sheet that gave me a list of SOME of the new feats and powers, but not all of the descriptions for them! :P
I might just have to stick with what I had. ALthough I DID come up with the crazy idea to start making him an ice mage. (That Ice Hand spell was probably the best of his arsenal!) :) IF I can find SOME kind of reference list for feats and powers, I'll do that. ALthough he won't change that much fro what he was. (Unless there's some awesome feat out there I don't know about!?)
I just can't bring myself to pay for the membership to the WotC D&D INsider. EVen though I do have a coupon for a discount from the boxed set of books I got.
Wish me luck, will try again tonight.
