Bit of a busy day for me, so I may not get to post again until late.
I'll be sure to make it up to you.

DM Aku |

Okay guys, sorry it took so long. I've add lots of info on Talingard at campaign info. If you have time, read it please. :)
Also I'd like players to update their alias's so that character info is displayed under their character name. This makes it easier for me to find oft used character details very quickly.
Info should include:
Race|Class|HP ?/?| AC ?(T?/FF?)|CMB +?; CMD ?| Saves Fort , Ref , Will| Initiative +?, Perception +?, Sense motive +?, Bluff +?
I think all of you have already done it, just check if this information is displayed. :)

I need to add some info. Also just had a quick change of avatar.

Back then, when there was only 3.5. I as DMing a campaign for my players, and I wanted to give it a more dark feeling. I was still a newbie DM, and so I had the brilhant ideia for buying and reading a book from Mont Cook: Book of Vile Darkness.Up to this day, I still feel unconfortable remembering things from that book.
Yeah, and there were even worse books made (especially by 3rd party companies. As far as mechanics from that book; though, The Book of Exalted Deeds went far the other direction and had many very OP things. I do remember running a homebrew evil campaign, but that one kinda impolded due to the characters wanting to get all backstabby. Glad we won't have to worry about that this time around. XD
And yep, Eric is ready.
@Nahia- That does have lots of awesome bonuses to it (especially the racial intimidate). It could work in the future if we go that route.

Funny, I always liked the Book of Vile Darkness. It had so much more unique flavor than the Book of Exalted Deeds, which pretty much just gave good guys stuff that wasn't good before.
Examples:- Oh, you're a Paladin and therefore can't use poisons? Here, these are ravages, which work exactly like poisons, but they only affect Evil people and are therefore ok.
- Oh, you're a good cleric but raising undead is Evil (which I disagree with, but that's a different discussion)? Ok, here are bound spirits, which are exactly like undead, but they are good, and raising them is good.
About the only thing that the Book of Exalted Deeds did that was new were the vows, and Vow of Poverty is one of the most famous broken things from WotC.
That being said, the Book of Vile Darkness definitely earned the "Adults Only" sticker it came with, and was very dark. However, it is still one of the books I pull out from 3.5 more than any other for DMing my home campaigns (excluding the Faerun books and the Magic Item Compendium).

Eric Erebus |

lol, thanks. I'm just glad it wasn't anything major that I messed up on.
A little off topic, but is anyone doing RPG superstar this year? I just entered for the first time ever. Think I might die from a nervous break down before Jan 21st!

Marsella d'Aciano |

Anyone else concerned by Aku's level up? I'm a little concerned.
Picked the trait for Marsella, "Extremely Fashionable" with class skill bluff. Though Marsella may have been a wallflower (I'm gonna pun until I exhaust all possible wells or I get sent to Brandescar IRL), she still attended the lavish balls. When it proved difficult to teach her charms, her parents made sure that she could at least lie like a proper noble.

Nahia |

I, too, enjoy things that are so punny that they become funny.
Also, I'm not concerned about the level up either, as I'm obviously not a villain. I don't have any villain points, I don't have minions (yet), and I don't have a magic mcGuffin or ritual that will be easily stolen or interrupted by a group of lower level vagrants.
Shifts eyes back and forth
Nope, nothing like that at all...

Hey, DM Aku,
Is everything on the map on google to scale? I ask because it looks like each one of us is taking up a 10' square (according to the key), which would make it 40' from where, say, I am, to the bars of the cell.

The map is to scale. Each of you represents 5ft. You guys are chained 5ft of distance of each. If you look at the map, the distance between you and the prision door is 55ft. (2 move actions).

Ok, I was confused by the scale on the map, which is highlighting a square the size of one of our portraits and says that is 10'. I'll ignore that.
So to confirm, 30' from me is to about the middle of the hall directly in front of me, or just behind (our side) the door to our cell?

Sorry, I messed with my other answer, you are indeet 40 ft from door. (I was couting using Marsella avatar, she is 55ft from the door.) Yes you can say that. The portrait scale seens fuzy because the "wall" on the map is almost 5ft large, so you guys are not on a entire 10ft square.

Cool, just checking in case it comes up later. :)

Nahia |

Inside this cell they keep forsaken, but in that fortified cell it could be anything! It could even be forsaken!
And you know how much we've wanted one of those!

Marsella d'Aciano |

@Marsella What did you think of the class?
Perhaps make it more parallel to the brother class (as wizard is to sorc, as cleric is to oracle). The druidic sorc loses out on saves, BAB, and armor in comparison to the druid, in exchange for a bloodline.
Though this might be more of an archetype than a separate class, in its current iteration.

You are looking at the wrong side. This class was not meant to be as druid.
If you compare it with the sorc, you gain domain or animal companion, wild shape, light armor profi, one martial weapon prof and the only thing you loose is the bloodline spell.
Seren Little |

Nahia, seeing as we are contemplating escaping... I think your Hex DC is one to low. Should be 10 +1/2 witch lvl (min.1) + int. so 10+1+3 = 14. The min.1 for witch lvl is never explicitly stated but if you take a look at pathfinder's iconic lvl 1 witch, it definitely implied that their is a min value of 1 for witch's lvl.

Nahia |

Seren, yeah, it is so unusual for something to not have the "(minimum 1)" text that I have been assuming it was intended. Though it would make it more like everything else if it did work that way.
DM Aku, care to make a judgement on this one?

Nahia |

@DM Aku, Sorry about that. I've got both on there now. I originally made the shortened link because it's on the character sheet as well, and I couldn't get it to fit on one line. : /

Eric Erebus |

Yeah, was at work and had almost finished typing when a customer came in. Ah well, took off the action for now.

Donald Robinson RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32 |

I did read that our legs are chained together. Would it be possible to use aid another to break those chains or to help someone break from the walls? Also, not sure if you would raher I keep the previous check next time I try to break the chains (it was an 18 total before I edited the actions which is kinda low for breaking chains I think) or roll again. I'm okay either way.

Seren Little |

Note to self: Get spellcraft next level. sigh, every secondary ability to identify magic items but forget to get the primary one.

Nahia |

And since we're noting such things here, Nahia and Sozia have natural weapons, so they still threaten squares around them for AoOs and flanking, even unarmed (unless literally unarmed, as in having no arms).
Dm Aku, you beat me to the posting punch by 6 seconds apparently. : )

Nahia |

@Seren Dear, post for me you spell know list?
If you can link it to your profile it will be really great.
It's on her profile, under character sheet, specifically under Offense.

Seren Little |

Spells's known is built right into character sheet. I'm a spontaneous caster so I've listed every spell I know. :)
Copied the section into a new spoiler section so it should be easier to find.
If you would like an independent list I could certainty do that. Just take me a couple of minutes to generate the document.

Zerik |

@Adanna, fair enough, lets say, as you mentioned, i meant your charms and not the spell. :)

I must be blind or dumb. Sorry and thanks. xD

Thanks! This has been a lot of fun so far. Lots of interesting ideas meshing together.
Also, poor Kennie. He tried so hard to be a good guy. But the road to hell is paved with good intentions and the crushed skulls of those who get in your way.
