Ezra Haynes's page

I should have time for this if theres room for me!

I think I'm out. I'm too big a fan of the real rules to play under these circumstances.

I can list the things I can do without magic on one hand (and I'm missing a finger)

likewise

Shaking off his melancholy, Ezra joins the others in seeking information about the previous failures.
"Godrum, I know each attempt must have certain variations, but any insight you could give us to help prepare would prove invaluable."

<We should listen to him. If he is trying to decieve us, that will become apparent. If he is not, to throw away his counsel would be discarding a vital advantage.>

A knot forms in the pit of Ezra's stomach as he listens and begins to understand that he failed Godram.
Failed repeatedly to drive back the spectre of death, and this purgatory is the dwarfs punishment for Ezra's failure.
Ezra's eyes get dark as the gravity of his inadequacy becomes known to the group. His greatest fear realized, and he could'nt even remember it.
Could'nt honor the fallen with a tribute.
Ezra says a quiet prayer to The Inheritor, though he knows not who he is even praying for.........

"What you have said has the familiar warmth of truth. Please tell us more about these quests, and more importantly, how we failed our previous attempts." Ezra says, now fully engrossed in this tale of timewaves.

<He seems oddly familiar to me. I know it's is more my nature to trust than yours. But he has the feel of an ally, not a potential ally.>

Ezra is a slender aasimar and, unlike his brother, could pass for human. Indeed he is often mistaken for a human until closly engaged. He is about 5'10" with black (but greying) hair. Making him look older than his physical years. He is soft spoken and quiet in the way that makes you long to hear what he is saying.
A fierce protector, he is always calm, but aware. Even in towns and at celebrations he keeps an eye on the positions of his allies, in case they should need him. He carries a mace, but none of you, save Micah, have ever seen him strike something with it. It seems to serve him as a gavel would for a judge, more a symbol of moral athority.
Ezra is quick to accept and trust (a trait that causes Micah much frustration) but, when he or his friends are crossed, Ezra does not hesitate to loose Micah to deliver justice.

knowledge geography: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (8) + 21 = 29
knowledge local: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (6) + 21 = 27
knowledge nature: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

<I do not think he is a threat, be prepared, but do not provoke him>

Staying focused on the Dwarf, Ezra tries to remain collected and unravel the situation.
"Please, Master Dwarf, I am in a bit of a haze and I can't seem to place how we are known to each other. Tell me your name and how we are acquainted, to help jog my memory."

If Ezra can keep him engaged in pleasentries for a minute, he will attempt a diplomacy check
diplomacy: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (13) + 30 = 43

Ezra is slow to shake off the mind fog and silenly asseses the room for a moment before reacting. He then moves to the dwarf and looks for signs of life.
perception: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (2) + 24 = 26
heal: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
if the dwarf is alive, Ezra casts cure light wounds. for cure: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

Re spell failure: I also always thought bards could wear a mithril breastplate (as per the FAQ). If youre house ruling that it doesn't, please let me know. I may drop that armor. It's alot to invest just for the movement.

Full hp I think

Yea micah! Put a sock in your gob! Or I'll bode you!

Haha! Me too

I'll be trying to kick up a few standard buffs every fight. So hopefully I can help in the 'plus to hit' department.

All set! Cant wait to roll over some baddies!

I will be all set by tonight.

Going bonded mind, lookout, paired opportunist

No one else jumped on shake it off, and my saves are solid, so I gave up on it

I am leaning toward bonded mind, lookout and escape route.

@gm archlich, can you check over my scroll purchases? Some are over 4th level, but they are all pretty common.

If we can work out getting Flanking bonus' with a straight 3-man front line, I am willing to take a feat to help (like gang up or out flank).

Sounds fun. Always room in camp Ezra for one more!

Ok. Thanks for the feedback. I will focus more of my dailies on problem solving instead of relying on the scrolls.

I too am unfamiliar with the APs. If anyone wants to build the framework of a common backstory, I would be happy to fill it in with personal details.

I will want to be in surprise rounds to get buffs started but I will have a solid perception check so lookout isn't vital.

I dont plan to craft scrolls. will they be difficult to acquire durring gameplay?

can I use an efficiant quiver with quick draw and mythic quick draw to draw scrolls as a free action?

Ive got a good diplomacy. and I can understand all languages(even in combat). But I only speak Infernal and Celestial durring combat.

Just a reminder, Ezra has the tongues curse, so he only speaks Celestial or Infernal in combat. If you guys could throw a rank into linguistics for me it would help alot.

Ezra is not super-prickly about customs and rituals. But evil spells would certainly make him very uncomfortable and (while he is not a violent man) undead would only live until he got a chance to channel.
How feasable is it to use summon spells instead?

Thanks Kejak. Also, I will be on a cruise with the family Apr 30 to May 8, but I plan to post from hotels and islands, so there should be only a minor interruption in my posting rate.

Hi all. Thanks for the pick! This campaign is going to be a blast.
Let me know what changes need to be made.

ok thanks

Any restrictions on scroll purchases with the starting funds?

Still working background. Are there any restrictions on scroll purcheses with the starting money?

Good Question. I also left a few spells/feats unchosen to give me a little party flexability. LMK if you would rather I chose them and then changed them if needed.
Also, is the format I used ok?

This GM is an A*! :)

As long as rulings are consistant across the board, strict and conservative is fine. Its the games where some rules are strict and others are lax that drive normally sane players into the deep.

Thats fair. Its about time I got out from under my 4-minutes-older brother anyway! (Also, Mom liked me better)

Alls fair bro! grabbed it cause I figured you would ditch it anyway to up your DPR. Traditional Smite is hard to beat.
