I'm thinking tanky paladin. Just trying to cone up with an angle...
Soooo... Paladin or barb for my next incarnation? That question is predicated on the idea that we need a frontliner... I'm happy to play just about any class, anytime. I'm thinking big tanky pally myself though. Anyone have a mega-hate for paladins?
No hassles here GM, the mission statement was "hard mode" :) Should have listened to Muqaq...
Tarin nods as the man steps up beside him. "Bravery is the key to freedom," he states simply. "But I will be beside you." Eyes returning to the bird , Brother Larvendi rasps at the warrior, "You didn't answer my questions. Perhaps after the battle we can resume the discussion."
Tarin, bereft of his bow, pulls back to the cover of the entrance.
The figure in front of you is of middling height, and is swathed in the flowing white desert garments, including a full hood and veil, common in this land. His clothing, however, is both slashed and badly burnt, ragged in many places, revealing pale skin shot through with pink scar tissue. He appears to be bleeding gently from a few minor wounds. Shifting his stance so that his blade still points at the great bird, he looks at Kalb for a moment, then rasps, "We seek to cleanse this once holy place. Who are you, sir, and what do you here?" His voice is neither kind nor threatening, though the harsh sound of his voice is not comforting.
As Tarin's bow is back in the chapel, the devotee of the Drunken God rushes forward with a great overhand chop at the bird.
Brother Larvendi gives his head a quick shake. "Hard to tell, but if I had to guess... We should plan for further battle."
"Beware!" Brother Larvendi growls. "There are voices among the bird calls!"
Brother Larvendi is similarly outraged, and will help Seif in his toils, both ejecting the pugwampi bodies and using create water to wash the room out.
Tarin sidesteps again to flank with Seif, his blade still humming with the purity of his judgement.
Tarin sidesteps to his left, so as not to provide cover to the pugwampi, swinging laterally at the creature's torso as he does.
Tarin flows across the pews and rough ground as if it didn't exist, brandishing his weapon as he closes on the pugwampi. "For Cayden, Sarenrae, and freedom!"
Brother Larvendi drops his bow and runs to the ladder, descending quickly.
Brother Larvendi growls in his throat at his wayward shot before methodically nocking, aiming and loosing again at the leader.
Drawing a bead on the pugwampi leader, Brother Larvendi draws deeply, exhales slowly, then releases his arrow, aiming for the throat.
Brother Larvendi sheathes his blade on his back and unslings his bow, nocking an arrow, his burning gaze still fixed on the malignant little monarch.
Brother Larvendi levels his blade at the pugwampi leader, and intones, "By the Drunken God, you shall receive justice for despoiling this holy place, and Cayden Cailean willing, I shall be the one to grant it!" Larvendi then steadily advances on the little bugger.
Yep, that type of character would mean that Tarin would be far less likely to need healing as often :)
I may be biased as I'm a jazz musician in real life. And a little roguish as well... My current bard is mainly an orator (and also a dancer, though that's pretty much in the background). I like to view his inspire courage as a comic book style conversation that explains to the enemy how and why they're wrong and about to get the shite kicked out of them :) But I can dig that it's one of those things that can break immersion for some. To each their own! I pretty much like to play every class.
You hate bards? They're my favourite class :) Having said that, I'd selfishly rather see a tankier type addition, just so I don't have to strap on the steel :) But go with your heart heliopolix.
Tarin stumbles over the Seif, in order to receive his healing. ...
I do like being mobile and all, but unless Gin never returns and we get a tank I think the good Brother may need to get some heavy armour happening. It's only a feat and a pocket full of cash away...
Seif-al-Din nods as he sees the heavily injured Tarin approach him, and channels healing energy into the wounded warrior
Tarin nods slightly in response to Xanyon's words without looking at him, and, still clutching his torso, immediately stumbles towards the nearest available cover
Tarin staggers groggily to his feet, holding his ribs.
Round 5
Tarin shakes his head at the bottom of the ladder, then makes another attempt to get to the mezzanine level.
Tarin shakes the beast's blood from his blade, then after a quick glance upwards to the mezzanine overhead moves swiftly to the ladder.
Thanks Stormwind, I was a bit confused there about what round we were in, good move you made for Tarin :) Crits against pugwampis are very hard to come by though, aren't they?
Well, profile updated - turns out that didn't change a single number on my character sheet :) Will make a difference if I take UMD down the line though I guess. Actually, if I can have a day or so of grace, I may switch out my Conversion Inquisition back to the Travel domain. I was going to take Travel, but when I took the array with the 5 I went for Conversion as my Cha was totally dumped, and I thought the social skills would still be important... Is that cool? I'm travelling home from vacation today, so I'll be able to pore over my books tonight :)
Nice Christmas gift for us players DM :) It won't affect much for Tarin numbers-wise, but it will make RPing a little easier to have a Cha of 10 - I was finding it a bit tough to be totally unlikeable/socially retarded. I really was trying though!
Hope everyone had a jolly Boxing Day :) No probs DM, I think everyone's a little cruisy with posting this time of year...
