Ríoghan's page

Alright, I've gotten most of the basic character mechanics down, just need to select feats and buy equipment, which I should get done by the end of the day. Still wishing I could reroll stats =P got kind of a bum roll on her. Oh well.

I seem to have missed the post that announced wealth so I'm presuming usual WBL for level-4 characters, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Equipment usually takes me the longest part of making a new character.

Work should be out of the "ohgodsomuchovertime" phase this next week, at the very least to the point of not having to be in at 6 AM every morning and working 12-hour shifts all week. That should allow me to keep a better sleep schedule, and be more attentive to the thread when game starts.

Alright, I'm here, though I'll need to re-read the past few pages to catch up and see if anything's changed that's relevant to my character/concept (primarily any changes to Drider stats, a quick search of the thread didn't turn up anything new but I might have missed it). Thanks Wolf for the heads-up PM and sorry it took me a few days to actually get over here, work's been busy.

Since the Widow class is still not quite developed I'll go ahead and start with Warlord and pick the Widow up when/if Gestalt comes in, and hopefully work things out with the class as we go. Since that's the plan, should I have her Advisor be around from the start but not actually providing any bonuses/effects or anything, or wait to introduce her until the Gestalt is added?

I suddenly don't feel so bad about losing this thread for a week or two. >_> I'll try to wrap this character over the weekend.

I'm leaning heavily toward Warlord from Path of War, for getting the absolute most out of her minions.

Cool. Minion mayhem.

Also, I was referring to your Drider avatar, but I'm already a fan of the Android... ;)

It's actually a Winter Hag, surprisingly, but I thought it looked cool and was Drow-like enough to pass =) Have to admit I'm fond of the little bird-skull head ornament. Though I think the closest Rioghan would actually be able to have would be a lizard of some kind.

I think the Widow's pretty solidly done, at least as concept is concerned. Heavy focus on poison, with the wide array of venoms she can use and the ability to enhance them and bypass resistances, and fleshwarping, turning defeated enemies into minions and using her Advisor to cobble together unique talent combinations. It really just needs to be arranged into a list/table format and limits/amounts set on how much of each she can manage per day, how powerful minions she can revive (and what said minions keep from their prior lives - we might need to put an actual template together), and what the capacities of the Advisor are.

I think she no longer really needs the Sneak Attack we were considering giving her, to be honest. I think she'll have enough tricks and options without it, between the enhanced Sting damage progression, the poison array, and the fleshwarp necromancy/summoning.

Once that's done I think she'll be finished =) As I said before I'm all for playing one of these and playtesting it in the game to come.

Then we can resume poking at the Queen or move on to the Weaver, those of us working on this bit anyway.
