First off this is not an active recruitment post. This is invitation only. Sorry I'm not trying to be a jerk but this is for friends of mine that I don't normally get to game with on a regular basis. With that being said welcome to Legacy of Fire! In the exotic nation of Katapesh, a land of fortune and wonders, heroes are those with the
I just realised that Invisible Castle is down. How is erveryone rolling dice these days? Sweet! Thanks man :) Hey have you seen the new Pathfinder Companion Seeker of Secrets? They have a whole section on Ioun stones several pages long. Most groups I've played with never really cared for them. But the article showed me something new that I never would have thought of. Using the dull gray used up stones to cast spells like light or silence on. They still float around your head so you get the benefit and still have the use of both your hands. I thought that was pretty cool. Don't know why I didn't think of that.
Badru smiles slightly,"Just Badru is fine. And it is equally pleasant to make your aquaintance as well."
Well I've narrowed things down to Half-Orc Barb/Sorc or Human Paladin. Both bring muscle to the table and additional magic. I'm leaning towards the barb/sorc right now. Anything for or against either?Well, if Kevin B is building a barbarian/cleric the barbarian/witch may be a little redundant. Also if you build a human paladin you could play Vladoff, which would give some continuity. You are free to develop him as you please (including the name). That's my SEK 0.02 at least. Do as you please. Touche. How about an Aasimar Paladin from Qadira or the local equevilant?
Congratulations, Thalyn! You've certainly had to be patient to get to this point, haven't you? I also like the idea of the diminutive monk giving the giantess barbarian a what-for, by the way. Thanks! I might even make third level if I don't piss off the barbarian too much :P
BT, hope you don't mind but I took a moment to level. Here are the new changes. Hp 1d8+1 (for favored class)=4. Gained Evasion as a new ability
I think that was about it. Next level I plan on taking Agile Maneuvers, which will bring my CMB from 0 to 5!
Sandros is an awesome character so do what you feel like. Where do you see the arcane ability coming from? His elven heritage? That would be cool.One of the ideas that's been floating through the back of my head, but has never quite been important enough to make a big deal out of, is that he studied magic in theoretical terms during his training among his elven family. It's why he already has Spellcraft, for instance. But it doesn't seem too great a stretch to have him go ahead and start casting some spells. That's what I was thinking. Seems like your leaning that direction anyways. It would tie in your family background a little more and give you more flexability. Of course WorsT has a good point. You trade off AC for spell power. As for me I'm all about the roleplay damn the consequences! BT:
Spoiler: pbbbbttt!
Since I assume we're going to be leveling once we finish this fight, I've been trying to make a final decision on which way I want to take Sandros. To help me decide, I've sketched out three versions of him as of 9th level (which admittedly skips a lot of the important stuff in the meantime), to sort of see where I might end up. I'd like some input from the group on these: which of the following characters would you prefer to have fighting on your side in a few levels? Sandros is an awesome character so do what you feel like. Where do you see the arcane ability coming from? His elven heritage? That would be cool. If anything I see him as a very dextrous fighter so a duelist works very well for him. The fighter has a lot of feats by ninth level which is a huge plus but I don't see him going that route. So either the Eldricth Knight or the Duelist I guess.
I'm definitely leaning toward either the monk or the barb/sor. Proteus would like the monk because he would finally have an advocate for less violence. The monk is modeled on Uncle Iro from The Avatar cartoon (cartoon not anime because it's not from Japan). The barb/sor is a lot of fun to play but might end up like the others :(. Of course I could play a paladin with all their righteous smitey goodness. Serious buttkicking and healing yay! Does anyine know if you can use Weapon Finesse with unarmed attacks? It says you can use it with Natural Weapons but I'm uncertain if that carries over to unarmed. If I can then the monk will probably be the one I pick.
So a half-orc barbarian/sorcerer, a human monk and half-orc ranger walk into a tavern...BT didn't go for my first choice of new characters and I would like to see what you guys think. The three guys listed above are all candidates. The barb/sorc is a character I've played for years in my table top games, the monk is already an alias (goes by the name of Jiro) and the ranger is just something I was kicking around.
One word Arioch: nice:) Can't wait to meet your next character. So far they have been extremely memorable even if short-lived. Of course, that may be a little optomistic of me considering our current situation. I've been talking to BT about it and waiting to see if he'll bless it or not. ...and I finally got a chance to get ahead in a game...
Don't like seeing your favorite character killed off? Then hire a character from Thalyn's Emporium of Characters! At T.E.C.(tm) we pride ourselves on coming up with inovative ways for our hired characters to die so yours don't have to! Undead ogre's? Wily goblins? No problem! T.E.C.(tm) has the perfect solution. Just throw one of our ready made characters at the face of adversity so your own characters can make a clean get away!
For the record, I'm not out to get thalyn. :o) But the last time I ran this battle, two PCs were killed, so tread carefully No sweat BT. I'm certainly not taking it personal. It's been a hell of game so far :) ...now if I can just get a character past 1st level! BT:
Spoiler: ...and if I get captured by the goblins so I can return later that would be wicked!
Thanks and I'm more than willing take any goblins you might have =)
Just so you know what happened, my mom was diagnosed with Fungal Pneumonia and had part of her left lung removed last Friday because of it. The surgery went well but she needed to stay in the ICU longer than anticipated. She is finally doing better and breathing on her own again. I think the worst is over and she will be going home in the next few days. ...so if anybody can point me in the right direction to the nearest goblin I have a lot tension and stress I need to work off :) And a personal thanks to AinvarG for keeping Rana in the game for me. I love the way you handled Ka'kara and the fighting so far! Thank you!
Sorry for not posting more regularly the last couple of days. Been running around and drinking my butt off! I did want to chime in about the healing potion discussion. I think AinvarG is right. Any items that benefits the party as a whole or in part should come from party funds. That being said I don't have any problem giving up some of my share of the money. I'll give up to 300gp to the cause. AinvarG:
Spoiler: I like the idea of two short swords. It just looks cool in my mind. If your worried about overall damage as we gain levels I plan on taking feats like Vital Strike which will increase my damage significantly.
As to what to do next. Hmmmmmm, By the "crypt" what are we talking about?The crypt actually refers to an encounter from before Ka'kara's joining the group. First night, actually, in game time, that we were together. A random encounter at night led to us chasing a ghoul through the darkness and finding a crypt full of undead. If memory serves, there were at least three ogre zombies and a veritable horde of others. The dead ogres took Sandros to zero and he used a CLW to survive. Thalyn's first character, however, was not to lucky. Several members of the party swore to return and clean it out when we were powerful enough. I'm not sure we are there yet, but it's still a goal for us. Thanks for the recap AinvarG. I hate to say it but I'd forgotten where the crypt was and had assumed it was something that happened while I was out of the game. I have to agree that the crypt is something better left alone for the moment. Lets finish finding Fenton and figuring out the other mysteries in the dungeon before going back there.
