Thank you all! Question: As I may be the only one not familiar with the AP... is the game dependent on us not being able to "plane travel" or should a wizard (I) try to acquire the ability to Plane Shift? As an Arcane Discovery, a wizard can take Improved Plane Shift which makes Plane Shift a 5th level spell for them (instead of 7th). Given the backstory, could make sense... thoughts?
Some background to this AP includes a foolish efreeti who plotted against the grand vizier, who in turn cursed the citadel. More information is available if you choose this plot link including a force of Marids caught up in it. As l long as its not too forced. You know better than I. Not looking to tangle things up, but looks like it kinda works with Marcus's idea, as well? Pasha/Grand Vizier...
Thanks, Boss. Confirming 108,000 gp. Or asking what the number is. Working the character out in HeroLab (easier for me), once complete or nearly will reformat per requirements. Void Wizard is from the Dragon Kingdoms, so since I wanted a kusari-gama (kusarigama) figured from Minkai. I guess the weapon could be Chinese and not Japanese analogous. I'm thinking some event happened that sent her on a planar road trip to hunt down a bad actor. Somehow will fit... Exotic Weapon Proficiency
And yes, I took Fire as the forbidden element. LOL. Guessing the bag actor was fire related. Possibly used fire to hurt/kill/destroy and so she couldn't bring herself to use it. Doesn't want to become the monster she is hunting. Any pointers on AC so she doesn't die, would be great.
I know I'm the only Wizard... is crafting >>> used on a bonded item (wizard class ability/feature) an exception to the 10% WLB limit (and the tossing into general loot)? It's an item only usable by the Wizard. Wizard Bonded Item & Crafting:
A wizard can add additional magic abilities to his bonded object as if he has the required Item Creation Feats and if he meets the level prerequisites of the feat.
For example, a wizard with a bonded dagger must be at least 5th level to add magic abilities to the dagger (see Craft Magic Arms and Armor feat). If the bonded object is a wand, it loses its wand abilities when its last charge is consumed, but it is not destroyed and it retains all of its bonded object properties and can be used to craft a new wand. The magic properties of a bonded object, including any magic abilities added to the object, only function for the wizard who owns it. If a bonded object’s owner dies, or the item is replaced, the object reverts to being an ordinary masterwork item of the appropriate type. ---------------------------------- Also, can we craft funky stuff or only standard items in the PRD?
Wizard... considering options. I'm thinking single class. Unless I come up with a really creative 1 level dip. Universalist, Abjuration or Transmutation? Opposition usually Necromancy & Enchantment.
...I am more comfortable with classes that hit things... I hear that, friend! Let's do it together!
Don't worry about me, I'll enjoy whatever we come up with! I'm asking for help, please?
Let's assume Wizard (mostly)... a particular direction? That question is open to all. DM & Players. I'll place my spin/stamp of personality on the character, just curious what folks would like to see synergistically. It would be total badazz if we had a wizard that could...
We could really use an arcane caster. Think, think, think...
Hi there... didn't mean to be MIA.
For the cheaper seats... Could we get a list of Race, Class & Role (loosely)?
Anyone near Ocean City, MD?
For more of a support build if needed, i could go with a bard 10, paladin 2... More than kind, but... I think everyone's character is solid. So if 5, what should I aim for? If 4, then tweaks may or may not be needed.
So... what do we need? Or are you guys OK just going with 4?
Are you OK with the kusari-gama being a finesse weapon as with Wizards DMG Errata? I'd like to build some sort of tripping monk with a splash of uRogue. DMG Errata, kusari-gama:
p. 161, col. 2: (INSERT As a Large, Exotic weapon) Kusari-gama*† 10 gp 1d6/1d4 x2 — 3 lb. Slashing/Bludgeoning Kusari-gama: A kusari-gama can be used either as a double weapon or as a reach weapon. You can fight with it as if fighting with two weapons, incurring all the normal attack penalties as if using a one-handed weapon and a light weapon. In this case, you can only strike at an adjacent opponent. If you use the kusari-gama as a reach weapon, you can strike opponents 10 feet away with it. In addition, unlike other weapons with reach, you can use it against an adjacent foe. In this case, you can only use one end of the kusari-gama effectively; you cannot use it as a double weapon. You can choose which end of the kusarigama to use. The kama end deals 1d6 points of damage and is a slashing weapon; the chain end deals 1d4 points of damage and is a bludgeoning weapon. You can make trip attacks with a kusari-gama. If you are tripped during your own trip attempt, you can drop the kusari-gama to avoid being tripped. When using a kusari-gama, you get a +2 bonus on your opposed attack roll when attempting to disarm an opponent (including the roll to avoid being disarmed if you fail to disarm your opponent). You can use the Weapon Finesse feat to apply your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier to attack rolls with a kusari-gama.
I had searched for: Dungeon Master Guide errata kusarigama Is VMC acceptable? And what's all that stuff about bonus Feats and such?
I found this... Races <<< Link Maybe I'll look for a Pathfinder version. Found it Half-Orc <<< Link
Not a show stopper, however would like to craft my character last. Filling in any gaps (of a balanced party is a thing). If you get enough interest that you don't need me (an extra body) I'm fine with it. The most important things to me are, the game goes on and the folks that want to play (a particular AP/module) the most, get to play.
What's the agreed upon Half-Orc RP rating? 8 RP?
You two both interested then? Sure. Wow, just looked that those character sheets... that's a lot of detail.
I like to think I'm consistent. Still in a game going on 13-14 years... though, did take a couple year hiatus for personal RL reasons. What sort of character do you need or would like to see? I've been enjoying rogues and unchained rogues.
For all you United States denizens or ex-pats: Remembering what the country went through in 1776... Happy Independence Day, Folks! Trivia: Declaration of Independence was actually signed on July 2nd, but it was a Saturday. Was made official on Monday, the 4th.

If Simon and Narses were friends and of similar mind... Perhaps their removal from the political board isn't a coincidence. Tell me of the Masquerader and his mistress, the Methuselah from the East. Alessando as is he were alive and his host for a glass of water.
Venice by Night - Monday April 7, 1309 Narses Haven on Sant'Erasmo
It stings. What you say is true and, I have been remiss in that I have not made the proper inquiries. No excuses. My ultimate interest was to engage like minded individuals, across clans, in diplomacy... towards the betterment and greater good of Venice, my beloved city. Discussions of peace are never moot , if I may be so bold.
Venice by Night - Monday April 7, 1309 Narses Haven on Sant'Erasmo
Onfroi spared him from final death, not once but twice with a level headedness I feared the Bastard as you call him, could not muster. It was odd I thought, Onfroi seemed to have little animosity towards Nicolo. But, I do not fully understand the history. Let it be known that Nicolo though misled in that particular altercation, fought well and made a good showing. With much risk to my own existence, it was my blade that finally... stopped him. It was actually the only way to save him. It was my suggestion that he be returned.
Venice by Night - Monday April 7, 1309 Narses Haven on Sant'Erasmo
Is it so wrong to be... French? I suppose that's neither here nor there. Onfroi, as far as I know is not with us. But, you do have him to thank in a sense for Nicolo's return.
Venice by Night - Monday April 7, 1309 Narses Haven on Sant'Erasmo
We are here to return the form of Nicolo. But, he will not be left at the doorstep. I agree, we should be invited inside. We come in peace. The Ventrue bows his head in respect.
How does one become Seneschal (or is there an assistant seneschal)? I was thinking Alessandro would be statted up to be one... or at least have the potential?
Venice by Night - Monday April 7, 1309 Narses Haven on Sant'Erasmo
Sensing Valdemar may have been unaware of recently uncovered details... My apologies, Lord Valdemar... I'd thought you were aware as Lord Alejandro was present for the telling by Lord Baldemar. The whole situation seems to gain layers of complexity. I merely wish to be of service to Venice though as you remind us... I've no claim to it. With this new information received, how may we be of assistance? Or do you have any clearer supposition of who may have moved against our late Prince or why? Or, I fear... would they move against whomever seeks to take his place? The prize being not the Prince's demise itself but rather, something about the weakness, imbalance or vacuum it creates. Alessandro bows his head in respect, falling silent once more.
Not me, Boss... I'm like worse than... a Paladin. Also...
That seems damn damning of the Prince of Padua. Sounds like with ordered, plotted or facilitated Narses' end. Just making sure I understand.
I'm just leveling the playing field... were we told not to share?
Also, asking nicely for story's sake (not the Japanese wine)... although the Methuselah from the East might bring some :) During those convos, you mentioned in a spoiler that Alessandro senses something is off about Bernardo's story. Did Alessandro ever figure out (or did anyone from the coterie clue him in as to) what... was it the partaking of Narses?
I actually didn't catch that bit, as I didn't reread the whole thing! Powder keg? I mean did anyone else in the coterie react to that bit?! Were we sworn to secrecy or something?! LOL I tend to think tell him and level the playing field... I don't know he doesn't know and assume he knows what the others of the triumvirate know. From the mouth of Cainite babes...
Venice by Night - Monday April 7, 1309 Narses Haven on Sant'Erasmo
Alessandro fills Valdemar in on the conversations had at the Blue Mongoose between the Coterie and the others of the Triumvirate.
We met Magdalena and Savio here Inside the Blue Mongoose <<< Link
Venice by Night - Monday April 7, 1309 Narses Haven on Sant'Erasmo
Alessandro lets it all sink in. What of the Prince of Padua, also one of the triumvirate's... siblings? What was the story there... in or out of favor with the late Prince Narses? Would they move against you or could they have moved against Prince Narses? Forgive me if the query is distasteful. And after, what would have been a breath... The Masquerader, Gottsdam? His mistress the Methuselah... Lantla, from the East? I suppose the blame comes closest to my feet for that one? As her existence is because of a moment of rare Ventrue cowardice.
Happy Father's Day, Dudes! Those who identify as... Father(s?)!
Venice by Night - Monday April 7, 1309 Narses Haven on Sant'Erasmo
Alessando quips. What of Savio? How does he feel about the... Triumvirate, that we know?
None of you have ever spoken to Magdalena, ever. I think she was at the bar when we spoke to the whole triumvirate. Before Xing left.
Venice by Night - Monday April 7, 1309 Narses Haven on Sant'Erasmo
Up until then quiet, Alessandro speaks. Is there no canon? And, if I may ask... are there those who do not wish the seat? I'm not sure how much it is worth, surely less than the trouble of losing one's... existence? I would typically pose the question hypothetically save, recent history demands it as practical. The Ventrue bows his head, with respect.
Venice by Night - Monday April 7, 1309 Narses Haven on Sant'Erasmo
By the bookshelves is Cainite with just a tint of color to his face, almost olive but not quite. His eyes a steely grey. He peruses a line of books, about to pull one out by it's spine. Seeing you, he makes no move thought you are certain that, that inaction took force of will. He is dressed as a businessman, if a rugged one that doesn't sit behind a desk all day. His posture is that of an athlete. A sword is scabbarded at his hip.
Venice by Night - Monday April 7, 1309 Narses Haven on Sant'Erasmo
Alessandro is up perhaps a bit earlier than some of the others, he does his best not to disturb them. What I'd give for a cappuccino... Damned un-death. When they are all up and about and Lydia speaks. If Xing is expecting us so, we should rendezvous. She may have or be interested in information. As the the political machinations and who vies for Princedom... He shrugs. I will remain as long as I can. Venice will need to heal from what has and will come.
Venice by Night - Monday April 7, 1309 [Past Midnight] Narses Haven on Sant'Erasmo Alessando looks to the doctor. Lorenzo, please convey that Nicolo's existence was spared not once but twice by Onfroi's... turning the other cheek. And, that Alessandro Khadaji regrets that he had to be the one to bring him low. Alessandro too, spared him and does send his respects.
I must have misread. Thought he was rendezvousing with her... and I wished to tag along. Then when he was leaving, figured "oh well" what are ya gonna do?
Venice by Night - Monday April 7, 1309 [Past Midnight] Lord Bion's Lair Alessandro seems crestfallen for a moment but maintains his... professionalism. If no one trusts any one... things will be difficult, indeed. Safe travels Andrew, Lord of Moray. Please give my regards to Xing, should your paths cross. I do hope she is alright.
Do we know whom he consumed to get to where he is? Nameless or named characters in the chronicle? Or was he embraced as 5th?
Venice by Night - Monday April 7, 1309 [Past Midnight] Lord Bion's Lair Alessandro's head lifts a bit, his eyes looking to Lord Bion. He doesn't even try to read him. The Maker and I had decided to agree to disagree, a long time ago. Long before my... embrace. He pauses, thoughtful. My opinion, then. Perhaps it is... Certainty that has been and will always be the greatest sin, all along. He looks to Lorenzo, Michele and then Andrew just a bit more softly. If it is not beneath you, Lord Bion... and not above me to ask... Is it within your purview to... see what or who set Sir Dunstan upon his ill-fated path? I would surmise he was merely cat's paw. And, some other benefited. A knight fallen from Grace and certain elements upon the political tableau weakened, if not completely removed. My opinion? Something worse, by orders of magnitude, comes. As to Sir Dunstan, I tend to agree with Sir Andrew. Bowing his head respectfully, he falls silent.
Howdy again. Hey there... welcome!
Venice by Night - Monday April 7, 1309 [Past Midnight] Lord Bion's Lair Nodding solemnly Alessandro smiles, a chuckle nearly escaping his throat... fortunate that he no longer needed to breathe.
Is the power vacuum a free for all or it has to go to one of Narses' childer? Meaning could Franz (probably not powerful enough) or Alexander of Paris claim the seat?
Venice - The Year of Our Lord 1309 – Monday April 7, 1309 [Past Midnight] Alessandro remains silent as he cannot think of anything he could add that Lord Bion would care to hear. And, it's not his place. He waits quietly, respectfully. Hands clasped before him and hood down about his shoulders.
Is Andrew with us, now? Unless you are planning a TPK on the Lido... Alessandro would like to check on Xing.
