I have this fellow here, he played through a section of the 1st book, but the GM left after that (it was only a maybe originally anyway if we would continue.) He is your general barbarian, nothing special outside of that. Good frontline fighter and decent tank with DR and a decent AC.
Tis unfortunate. Hope the gm is ok.
Arrac pauses at Hassan's statement, not sure to move forward or not.
What happened to you child? Why are you out here in this wilderness?
Come here girl, we won't hurt you. Arrac says, still on his guard, if a little off balance at the sight.
Arrac will move along the edge of the clearing and try to get a better look at who or what may be in the building.
Likely, He remarks to Hassan.
Arrac glances up to the building, glancing around he gives a sniff, before marching on towardss the cabin, intent on looking into it. Well, might as well press on. See if anything useful is left here. He doesn't proceed foolishly however, and keeps an eye out for any potential traps.
Arrac takes in a deep breath of the crisp air while he looks over the scene before pressing on.
Arrac reverses the swing of his blade to bring if back around, in almost more of a hacking motion than a blade swing.
During the melee, he shouts. These are Frostfirs, I've seen them before. Take care for their sap, and fire always proved an effective tool against them!
Arrac Readies an action to strike out at the first enemy that gets within his reach.
Always, let us move on. I'd rather not join his fate. Arrac says after everything useful is compiled.
Hm, I wonder what he was doing out here? Arrac will walk over to the body as well, before getting too close, he will draw out his Ranseur and pat the snow slowly around the body, starting from about 15ft away from it.
Hah, That sounds like quite the catch, Though if it was wounded, I to doubt it would actively attack us, unless we happen to run into it in a confined area... Unless they are particularly territorial? Arrac looks around
Arrac stops and smells the air, trying to see if he can catch a hint of any metallic smell, but can't seem to find anything but the smell of pine and snow.
Arrac sniffs as the icy wind erupts from the creature. He rubs at his throat and speaks with a mildly hoarse voice. Any of you have any healing magic? I think I may be getting a sore throat.
Arrac takes a swing at the skeleton once again with his cold iron hammer. possibly trying to strike the ribs for some spooky music.
Arrac will move up as well.
arrac moves foward to strike the creatures, drawing his warhammer as he charges.
Arrac looks around. Slightly disappointed that the wind seemed to stop here. Before looking to hassan and Wassilissa. What can you make of the tracks? He keeps an eye on their surrounding while they look.
Arrac will nod. Hah, well, lets continue before more fun finds us. Arrac will wait for the others to cross before following along behind.
Arrac, noticing the cold-iron seem ineffective shrugs before dropping the bow and drawing one of his throwing axes while stepping a bit closer. He pulls back and launches it at the creature.
Come down and fight me you coward!
Arrac will draw his bow and place a cold-iron arrow on it before taking aim and loosing it upon the ice creature. AHAHA! Here I thought today couldn't get any better!
Arrac looks out over the gorge, taking in the icy wind with a bit too much enthusiasm. I wonder, if this is what it was like all the time back in the northern lands. And if so, why my grandfather decided to leave it. He says just as much to himself as anyone else.
he seems to lost in thought to notice much of anything at the moment. Enjoying the cold wind doesn't help either.
I'm sorry, I thought those were a guideline of sorts, I didn't realize it was exhaustive. Will correct. I should have glanced back over the post before assuming.
oh and 20 cold-iron arrows, and 2 cold-iron javelins.
updated. Bought 2 potions of enlarge person, 1 potion of CLW.
Arrac would like the spider climb potions, it may come in handy in situations with enemies that are... harder to reach.
I'll let Hassan have it.
if no one else takes it, Arrac will, +1 AC, and removing the chance of rolling a 1 on the save is worth it haha. We can sell it later on if we choose to.
arrac stronk! Arrack will requisition a buckler, He would also like two potions of enlarge person and two potions of CLW if we can afford it, (or a wand of CLW)
What is this grooming of which you speak? My hair is naturally perfect anyway.
I always do enjoy a ring of force shield. its basically 2 free AC for two-handed fighters haha. May get that one day. I'm good for hero points yeah, haven't had the chance to use them. I'm not sure on the hard swinging RNG of pure HP rolls... but... screw it. Lets do it. I'll trust in RNJesus and the (hopefully not needed) re-roll from hero points. I'm also guessing that since he can't craft MWK weapons, he couldn't make a weapon MWK. I'll buy 5 alchemist fires. also, don't forget a mirror wassilissa haha.
thats my fault, I thought I mentioned it. I'm down for hero points.
my vote is for roll, but you can't get lower than half your HD. IE, you can choose to roll, but if you roll poorly you lose out on 1 HP that level. so, say I chose to take a roll, I rolled a 3, half my HD is 6.5 rounded down thats 6, so I still get 6 hp instead of the 3, but I still lost out by not taking the guaranteed average. Make sense? There is still a risk to rolling, but it won't royally screw over a character via doing it. Or, if you wanted to make it a larger risk, you could do half HD-1, so the lowest someone with a D12 HD could get would be 5. d10 4, d8 a 3, and so on. if you are good with that idea, I'll go ahead and roll, and likely will roll every level. Because I like rolling dice, physical ones are more fun, but virtual ones are fun too haha.
Skills:
Rage power: undecided atm. probably superstitious because it leads into witch hunter/spell sunder. I'm also considering going for the stalwart feat line, if the game continues past the 1st book (IIRC there was some chance of that) which will be a ton of fun later on. Since at level 11, I'd have about 11DR/- when using it, and about 12-13 DR/- when raging haha. also, are ya'll hunkering down in this place until the romeo and Juliet recover, or are ya gonna carry us back to town lol.
what is the creatures CR? If it is below CR 1, then anyone can make the knowledge check to identify it. (the DC is normally 10 + monster’s CR, rounded down is 10 for any creature below a CR of 1 IIRC) but I'm fine with skipping to an end either way. Constant energy damage effects are pretty dangerous at level 1-2. Even if they are only a d6 or two, technically Arrac would likely have died from the cold aura if it took that long to happen. So summarizing the fight is A-OK for me hehe.
GM:
I thought dropping anything is a free action, just as grabbing/letting go of a weapon with one hand is a free action. Though upon closer look, dropping a shield is treated as the same action of drawing a weapon (move/part of move) apologies for the mix up. Dropping a shield does not provoke however. Which means skelly boi would have missed. Though as long as I don't end up dying I don't really care too much haha. As for the bastard sword, I am proficient with it as a one handed weapon due to this trait Heirloom weapon And use it as one-handed/two handed interchangeably.
I also try to list what weapon I'm using my posts, Usually its his (cold-iron) hammer or bastard sword. I try and decide on which based on how tight/confined spaces are realistically until a specific type is needed. Though if you want a specific weapon for the "default" its likely the bastard sword unless we specifically know we will be encountering fey. Arrac used a hammer in this combat, as I assumed he would have at least heard tales of blunt weapons being more effective. If that is a correct assumption (the DC for the know. check is a 10 IIRC) He would have used his hammer. Which would work as follows- Surprise round, total defense, first round, I cannot drop the shield as a free action as I thought, so would have hit with the bastard sword, second round would have been to free action drop the sword and draw the warhammer (neither of which provoke oddly enough) as a move action, swing with warhammer. If Arrac would not have heard tales of skeletons/etc as maybe they aren't considered a common enemy he would have attacked again with his bastard sword. If the need arises for a bot again, please feel free to assume Arrac will always use power attack when he is two-handed a weapon. So, please assume the following- Arrac will have his shield out, and bastard sword in hand for 80%+ of encounters, or at least, at the start of an encounter. If he needs to be botted, please assume he will power attack when two-handing a weapon, and that he will not if one-handing it with a shield. If I listed a specific weapon in a post, I am using that weapon(or intending to). I will try and remember to specifically list which weapon I am using, from now on. Sorry for the trouble. If I forgot anything please let me know. the [AC] is for when Arrac is making use of his shield. I'll likely be thinking of getting a buckler instead now though.
Arrac tries to move past the skeleton to allow his companions to move in, whether successful or not he drops his shield and lashes out at the skeleton with his hammer in both hands, all the while grinning at the chill and frost starting to coat his armor.
Arrac charges one of the skelly boys using the weapon he had out.
Arrac will take time to look around the place.
Newmark, what did you learn from the half orc? The one you let escape? Did she know where the noble woman is? Or her fate? Arrac is terse and more than a little frustrated. His knuckles are white as he grips to the edge of the table leaning over Wassilissa. He nods towards the girl. Will she be making it?
Arrac stares the man in the eyes, making sure the last thing he saw was his face before his consciousness fades. Once he collapses,He will turn to hassan and say
Before waiting for an answer and unless he is stopped, Arrac would straddle the man and stab downward piercing his heart before decapitating him, hoping that would keep the dead man... well, dead.
Arrac turns to look at the spellcaster, his brow furrowing as his knuckles whiten gripping tighter to his blade. He stomps towards the caster, and attempts to thrust his blade through his chest or ribs. Your god will not save you from me. I hope he will be disappointed in your end. You are nothing but a disgrace.
Arrac moves and swings at the figure, but likely misses.
