Does anyone know of any other resources for the 'chosen of' template in the FR Campaign setting. There are only two templates avaiable for use, of Bane and Mystra, and I wanted to get a better feel and understanding of them before I go about making my own for my homebrew. Thanks.
Hey folks I need opinions for my group has come up with another question... Do hobgoblins as a PC race get screwed on their level adjustment??? Now don't get me wrong I think any race that has improved stats (+2 Dex, +2 Con) and no negative stat mods is maybe a partial reason to give a PC race a +1 LA. However when comparted to other PC races such as Planetouched and especially the Catfolk,(a personal favorite) it just seems that they get hose. Lets compart the Planetouched, just the Assimar and the Teifling from the MM - Improved stats +2Dex,+2Int,-2Cha Teifling
The Hobgoblin +2Dex,+2Con
Now how is the even comparable?? And now the even more unbalanced PC Level +1 Adjustment Catfolk
Now come on the Catfolk has a natural armor bonus and +4Dex! I usually play a rogue when I play a Catfolk, but still +1 NA. The Hobgoblin is a military race if anyone should have N.Armor its them. Some in my group have said that the Catfolk's NA makes up for the no darkvision. Thats fine, but +4Dex to a physical stat come on. And now that I am thinking about the Goliath gets +4Str,-2Dex, and +2Con and has Powerful Build and is only a +1 LA. WTF! I am I wrong or is the hobgoblin getting screwed? Are these the ramblings of madman with to much time on his hands...maybe, but thats not the point. The point is that hobgoblins are getting hosed.... Your thoughts......
Ok so I game with a bunch of power gamers and we have the tendacy to make stupid chessy characters. I came up with this build for a game: It is based in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Human (Mulan)
Feats
So why does a Mystic Theurge need to be able to turn undead 14/day u ask. Well Divine Metamagic allows you to spend turn/rebuke attempts as a swift action to pay for the increase in spell level when adding a meatmagic feat to a spell. So I spend 6 turn attempts and Righteous Might myself gaining all of the bonus of the spell for the next 24 hours. Then once most of my offensive spells are gone I Tenser's Transform myself and NOW I am a holy terror(heh heh). With those spell in place I am a better fighter than my parties fighter. I can say for sure that I have single handlely taken down numerous melee NPC encounters and have saved the party twice by doing this. And don't forget I am under the effect for 24 hours or until I dismiss it. Is this to over powered? I have not inculeded the magic items that give me stat bounses or the fact that I am carrying a +4 keened Greatsword.
Ok for the past few weeks my role-playing group and I have been discussing a question of demon lords vs archdukes of Hell. Who is the most powerful Demon Lord and the most powerful Archduke? The latter was ansewered fairly quickly, Asmodues THE Archduke and ruler of Baator. We got caught up on the demon lord and finally settled on Orcus. He is the closes of the major demon lords(not counting Lolth she is already a god and I don't want to get into the discussion of 'she could owner all the Demon Lords and Archdukes' already because she is a god) in achieving godhood and his cults are as numerous on the Material Plane as Asmodues'. So round one Orcus vs. Asmodeus Condition - Trapped on the Material Plane and they cannot get back to there prospective planes. They can do any other ability that there stat blocks say except teleport off the Material Plane. They can also teleport around the Material Plane if they wish. They encounter each other and the fight is on! |
