The Zen of Undermountain

Game Master EltonJ

Adventure in Undermountain. This campaign will take characters from 8th level to 15th level and perhaps beyond. This campaign also uses the system in Advanced d20 Magic, adding a cinematic quality to our delve.

Hi GM! Thanks for the invite, happy to be here. I'll probably struggle with the magic system for a while, so please bear with me :)

I think everyone will struggle with the magic system, including me. This is why it's a playtest.

Greetings one and all.

Thanks for the selection. Happy to getting back to Undermountain after all these years.

I'm right there with you, Barad. But I think PbP is a good format to test the system in since we don't have a group around a table waiting while we figure out details.

Ascoe has the Rogue talent - Minor magic. I took Detect magic as the only spell he knows.

How would that work with the Advanced D20 magic system? His only spell and it's level 0.

I took it to tie in with his Relic raider archetype. It gives him a little edge spotting magic traps.

Detect magic has a casting DC of 15, and a spell slot of 1. Since it's a talent, you cast it as a sorcerer of your level. In simple terms, you gain a bonus of +8 to cast it. All you need is a 15 or better on your fortitude save roll to cast it.

Also, if you miscast the spell the first time, you can make a control check at DC 5 to control the magics of the spell, just like a regular sorcerer. Drain is still non-lethal damage for you. You can also choose to do the forms or investments. A focus might come in handy, too.

EDIT: Any more questions about how the system works?

None for me. That changes Detect magic from being something he spams to something he uses when he's feeling paranoid about things.

Yeah, you have to be careful.

So is veryone here, :)

How shall we start this, sitting around the Inn?

We can start this outside of the inn.

Hey GM. I just realized that the profile I had saved for Tihn was a mess with cut and paste errors from another character. I haven't found the finished version of Tihn so I think I'll have to recreate it. I have saved the profile that was mostly finished. I'll finish recreating the final as soon as I can.

Okay, thanks for telling me. :)
