Aglaron's page

My backstory is done--my character submission now fully completed.

This is the alias/character submission belonging to Keante.

At this time, the backstory is only partially written. I will post again to announce when it is complete.

I have to back out, unfortunately. Real life has been getting busier.

There's an official Spheres conversion of the cross-blooded sorcerer archetype now: the Dual-Blooded Sorcerer

You, Sir, are my new friend. Thank you very much! Do you know which splat book it's in?

Indeed, I do! It is from Archetypes of Power. The delightful Cosmic Sage wizard archetype came from that book, too.

Here's a question for the DM: I was originally using the Crossblooded sorcerer as one of my archetypes, but I switched to Sphere sorcerer as I prefer to have Sphere casting. Since crossblooded receives casting, would it be reasonable to do a crossblooded sorcerer as a spherecaster? I would give up "The sphere sorcerer gains 1 additional spell point for every sorcerer level gained" to comply with "A crossblooded sorcerer has one fewer spell known at each level (including cantrips)". If not, that's cool, just thought I would ask.

Finished putting all my talent info on the profile.

This alias belongs to Keante. I'm re-purposing an old alias/page, so disregard the older posting history...

I haven't put all the information into the profile page that I would like to eventually (the info for all my other talents), but I've got some bullet points in there.

Aglaron is a magic-wielder with a space/cosmos kind of theme. His magical talents are in the Creation, Dark, Light, Telekinesis, and Warp spheres.

His casting ability is Intelligence and he has a ton of skill points. From the 3.5 Epic Level Handbook I took the Headband of Epic Intellect +8.

I haven't actually calculated AC, wound points and vigor points, or saves yet, but that should be a relatively simple matter to finish up.

I was wondering if there's a way to do that, myself.

Just realized we have two shield bashers--that's awesome. I also didn't notice until now how much thematic overlap Drazh and Aglaron have. That's cool.

"Are there any wounded here?" Aglaron asks Captain Anfell. "I have some skill with herbal remedies that could aid their healing."

Feeling at ease within the encampment, Aglaron hands his many-dented quarterstaff and his dagger to Elsmon.

Fifteenth Day of Erastus, Moonday 1:00 pm, North of Vigil
As the group travels, Aglaron attempts to start a conversation about their approach to battle. "I have a fair bit of practice in preparing myself to ambush enemies, and have used it to good effect to even the odds when outnumbered. Having surprise on our side is always helpful. Whenever circumstances allow, I should go ahead of our group to scout out the enemy. I am quite skilled at remaining unseen and unheard, assuming there is some kind of cover, of course. I look forward to the day when I get to see some orcs caught off guard by a mounted charge from Sir Korbinian--I bet that hurts."

If we're not in a rush, Aglaron can "get along in the wild" with a survival check result of 20 when he takes 10. It requires moving at half overland speed, but we don't have to use any food or water supplies. The result of 20 means he can supply enough food/water for himself and 5 additional creatures.

Aglaron lacks any training in horsemanship, but the natural grace of his elven blood serves him well, and after taking a minute to introduce himself to the horse with a sugar cube and with gentle pats and a scratch under the chin, he mounts the beast without much trouble.

Aglaron looks at the squire with interest. The boy's admiration of knights reminds him of his own feelings. He gets lost in introspection as the lad goes on, and when Aglaron's mind returns to the present, he realizes he missed most of the conversation, and says simply, "We'll be fine."

Aglaron peruses the map some before they leave.

1. I will definitely not be mounted in combat--though in a few levels I might get the beastmastery sphere with the ride package and change my tune.
2. I do want to flank as much as possible for that lovely bonus to attack rolls. Also in the future I might get the fencing sphere for some precision damage that would add then.
3. We'll both be in melee so we'll probably be within 30ft.

My base speed of 30ft is increased by 10ft while I have martial focus (which is almost all the time; some abilities require expenditure of martial focus, and then I can get it back by taking the total defense action, the withdraw action, or resting for 1 minute). That bonus speed will increase with levels: +15ft at level 5, +20 at level 10, +25 at 15 and +30 at 20.

On Aglaron's alias page I've added all of the text for his sphere/talent abilities for easy reference.

Aglaron arrived on time, dressed in his well-made but worn chain shirt, and his dented quarterstaff thrust through two loops on the exterior of his backpack.

Aglaron looks on somewhat enviously as the others, though they are new recruits like himself, seem nonetheless already somewhat accustomed to the military culture. Aglaron wasn't sure how to respond to Commander Hawkar's salute and brisk greeting, but he did his best to imitate the others with a salute.

He shakes hands with the others and gives his name, but wastes no more time before heading back to the inn to gather his remaining things before heading to the gate.

Dot!
