Your group, veteran explorers and adventurers, set out to recover the lost Doombringer Box. After tracking down, infiltrating, and finally defeating an insane demon cult in the Earthspur Mountains (east of the Moonsea), you have the perilous artifact in your possession. Through your research on the artifact you learned that it could only be destroyed by powerful magic, more than any mortal, even the great Elminster, could summon. After conferring with sages and archmages, the decision was made to take it Myth Drannor and attempt to uncover a way to tap into the Mythal and use its power to destroy the box. But the way will not be easy. First you must traverse the Cormanthor wood, through drow patrolled territory and then explore the dangerous ruins for hints to unleashing the Mythal’s power. You start the campaign in Hillsfar in midsummer.
Im thinking a dwarven Cleric for myself guys.

Im thinking a dwarven Cleric for myself guys.Coolio dude- I have a Beguiler/Mind-Bender and I have a wicked Leadership score so I have a s&@~ ton of followers and a 3/3/4 Cleric/Wizard/Mystic Theurge as a cohort companion. I'll have my guy up soon for you all to see.
It would seem that swearing is a no no LOL!!!
Welcome brothers koby! Bruno and Robertson know the thread is up so things should move pretty quick. I know Bruno is thinking dwarven tank and I would assume Robertson will go rogue and/or monk.
Given Matt's decision to play a cleric, I'll probably change Jason's cohort to a battle wizard of some sort.
I'm in, 90k huh? This might take awhile :)
J/K, I'll make him up as fast as I can...
Talked to Adam today. He's gonna join in. After some character concept discussions (read as: Q: What do you wanna be? A: I dunno, something badass with a big sword and spells), he has decided to go with a 5th Level Ogre Mage Warlock. Should be able to bolster both offensive arcane abilities and frontline fighting. We'll come up with a good story for why the dwarves will tolerate him.
Also, I'll be running an NPC that you'll meet in the Ruins. I had a dream about the GI Joe bad guy, Stormshadow and couldn't resist. He'll come and go, but will (unless you piss him off) be an ally. Looking forward to seeing everyone's characters and hopefully getting started after new years.
Merry Christmas everyone and talk to you all later.
Alright guys, here is your Ogre Mage Warlock. I'm going to run him until Adam gets up and running at his place. Still haven't worked out a good back story, outside of his abandonment of his races ideals. Anyone that can come up with a good reason why he would tolerate and be tolerated by a couple of dwarves and a fey please post it or e-mail it to me. It's worth 2k gp extra to the best (only?) idea that gets submitted.
OK here is my best shot at it. Do'Bak was a member of the party who had died during the time of troubles, either I attempted to raise him or we attempted to get him raised but due to the wild magic it turned the spell into a reincarnate spell turning him into an Ogre Mage. Ought to be fun because my axe will keep wanting me to attack him and I will have to keep reminding it hes a friend. Might even need to make an EGO check or two.
Matt
Inventive. I like it. Let's see if anyone else posts any ideas. Otherwise, it looks like the gold is yours. We'll give everyone else a day or two. Merry Christmas Matt.

Yeah I think Matt's Idea fits the best. It makes a lot of sense... I mean why else would an Ogre Mage Hang out with us unless I Convinced him to do so... Which isn't that far of a shot either... But I like the whole reincarnation thing. Also I hope he's gonna be using the Polymorph ability to look like a human or sub-type so we dont get run out of every town... I am good at talking my way out of things but it might be a bit tough to convince ppl that he's cool and we're not an evil adventuring group...
Matt, this post is for you...
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make sure you have the spell Align Weapon!!! We are def gonna need that spell from time to time to get past the DR of certain Devils, Demons and whatever else is thrown at us...
Yeah its in there and I had already planned on it.
Updated my character profile, used that extra 200gp to get a Rod of Ropes instead of the spool of Endless rope. Everything should be complete and ready to go.
Here is Cor'dre, my Spring Child Beguiler/Mind-Bender
Hey Belkar I mean Wedge... How's it coming? I finally finished min-maxing and making magic items and I believe Matt has done the same for his Cleric, Durgan. Do'bak our Ogre-Mage Warlock is all set and I think we are no longer waiting on Robertson's character cuz something has come up with him or something... So You'll be the Tank/Heavy Hitter, Matt is the Healer/Buffer/PWNer, Do'bak is backup Smasher/Blaster, I have a Cohort that I believe is gonna be a Stealthy character now, and I will be controlling anything and everything that comes at us ;-) I'm not the greatest with weapons and really don't have anything spell wise that can do massive damage but I can turn foes against themselves quite easily and often and can also convince them to join our side, so in that regard I can be a big bad fighter or a big-time blaster caster LOL!!! Can't wait to see the things you've put together for Wedge =D Let's get this party Started!
DM's had my character sheet for awhile now, the name is now Bolt Foesplitter.
I'm a Magic-using, Armor-wearing, no-feeling, child-stealing, Axe-wielding mad dwarf, who's rude, crude, and one ugly dude. I rarely bathe, have a tendency to hate anything that isn't a dwarf, could care less what anyone else thinks of anything, and prefer to make my own gear than use some hand-me-down from some red-headed elven stepchild or human witch-*itch. I had to pay some chump dwarven wizard a bit to fully charge some of my gear, but most was done myself, enchanted so even if some nasty greasy-scaled spider-loving fiend managed to off me, he couldn't use it or get 2 coins to rub together if he sold it.
Think of a normal dwarven-axe bearer encased in mithril, but able to call down the enchantments and battle-spells of the warmages, and still ready to hack a swath through a horde of stinking orc-meat. A battle-rager berserker barbarian but with spell-power instead of the built up angst. A future archmage with a hint of dwarven warlord. A dwarf axe-man but with the speed and finesse of an elvish archer, but without the flowery tree-hugging yuppie aura of peachy-keen sweetness, just the sweet keen edge of the waraxe.
Alright, I'm out of metaphors...
Anyway, the new avatar is the closest one I've found to what I pictured myself as, minus the fluffy mustache, and the black beard is cropped to just a few inches and sticks straight out like a bristle brush, and runs the chin line (nothing on the cheeks). Maybe a bit more dirty. Still the 'sexy god-of-war' mental picture of himself though :)
Is that a sexy, shoeless god of war or do you wear shoes ;-)
Well met Bolt Foesplitter, I am Cor'dre Ath-ghymn, Legendary Charmer of the Ancient ways. I am a traveled and ancient breed from the blood of the ancient forests. I have long ago moved away from the regal diplomatic upbringing that I was given. I took my knowledge and ability to new heights and with unrestrained abandon I began to delve into the power of the mind or rather the learned control of it. For most, knowledge is power, for me knowledge is control and control is the true power. I am a smooth talker, a charismatic charmer a controller of wills and and minds. I control truths and bend wills to my favor but I respect the great value of true and trustworthy friends and followers. I care little for weapons as I usually have others use theirs in my defense. To me those who are weak enough to be controlled obviously needed my direction in the first place. I am not a greedy person but have no qualms with bending people to willfully help me. Cross me and you may not even remember how it came to be that you are laying on the ground, dying and stripped of all your possessions...
But I digest... My Avatar too is the closest thing I could find that fit how I picture Cor'dre. I'm young looking but ageless. I have lived longer than some races have been in existence. My eyes glow a Silvery Metallic Blue while my hair changes as the seasons do. Blueish-green in the Spring to a deep brown in the Summer that changes into an Auburn-red in the Fall followed by a Silvery-white in the Winter months. My attire I must say is a lot more than just that of Mithral plate and an Axe... It's a Mithral Shirt and a Crossbow! LOL!!!But seriously I dress in the finest of clothes made from textiles from the far reaches of the world. And yes I manage to do it without all those flowery tree-hugging yuppie auras of peachy-keen sweetness as I have little compassion for such things.
But I digest...
Really... Does that mean you're a bloodsucking undead leech-type too? If not it could be a personal goal, the vampires have the charm stuff perfected.
You still seem a bit fruity for my taste, but I imagine I can't argue much with someone who could charm the socks back onto an ogre-mage.I see everyone's got their character sheets up, so I put mine up too. How much did that Truestrike ability cost? I'd like to add that on I think, but are you sure it's a free action? You could do that between each attack... Like talking but cooler. I think my command word would be "Who's your Daddy!" but Loser, Wuss, Dork, Schmuck and a few others would work equally well... maybe if you can only use it once a round I could add on separate abilities that did the same thing, just with different commands.
And someone needs to let me get a peek at that magic item compendium, I'm spending too much using the other books!
Right lads, the name is Durgan Grundback. I be a Relic Hunter for Clan Grundback. Only through my faith in Moradin have I found some of our clans most powerful Relics. Gorten's Edge is me axe and it carries in it the spirit of me Great Great Uncle, he guides me in battle and keeps me safe. I have also found the Grundback Crest a shield that causes the long hated foes of the Dwarves to cower in fear when they look upon it. Me armor was a gift from me Grandfather so its named Grandfathers Fury, he told me that with this armor he would be right alongside of me striking back at my foes. I have a few other items that I have found but now I am looking for a more personal item that is a relic to me. Its me older brother's ring of regeneration. He was part of one of the unfortunate partys to activate Doombringer. He survived the encounter thanks to his ring but the experience drove him mad. The ring was lost durring his wanderings back to our ancestral home. He now spends his days at our home blabbering about deamons and devils sometimes locked in his room for days on end. I tried everything I could for him but my prayers fell upon the deaf ears of Moradin. Divination's finally showed me that Moradin was punishing my brother for his part in unleashing the Doombringer horde. Me greatest wish is that by destroying the box my brothers transgressions will be absolved and he can find peace.

Think what you may but given your Will save I could make you act like a little furry bunny and you'd love me for it! LOL!!!

The True strike wasn't that much it's just the cost of getting a command word spell added to a weapon you can do similar with any spell on any armor or weapon or mundane item really. The cost for a command word activated spell is Spell lvl x spell caster lvl x 1800gp. for a continuous spell effect like say true seeing it would be spell level x spell caster lvl x 2000gp. And I looked up the whole activating an item with a command word and its either a free action of a swift action. I think I've found differing versions in different books. But either way swift or free I can activate it each round.

You want to Download it... go here... http://www.filestube.com/55c54f446574ef9903ea/details.html
and click on the blue "Click to download" button. Should only take a few mins. Consequently if you want any other of the books from filestube.com just do a search for em and download them. That's what I've been doing for all the books =D
Ohh what to do..?
OK DM says I have to be LVL 21 to get an Epic LVL Feat which makes sense so that blows that question out of the water... So any suggestions for other feats that would be good for me? Throw em at me =D
Opinions? Advice? anything nice....
Thanks!
Hey guys =) I'm super excited to get into this character =) Did Knepper get a hold of you all about getting a post out? Did I miss it or did it not get put out yet? Please tell me I didn't miss it =)
Does anyone look at this anymore LOL!!! Well I hope so cuz I want you to check out my lil side project =) no more going thru several books to find out what these crazy spells do =) Fortunately (and unfortunately) my class (beguiler) has a specific set of spells that he gets so I am creating my very own online spell book =D Check it out here
http://wix.com/roguephoto/cor-dre-ath-ghymn
It's an easy way for me to keep track of what my spells do =D Yay I'm a dork! LOL!!!
I'm still getting caught up. Sorry, Jay. I'm gonna be getting Bruno and Matt up here soon, I hope. I mentioned it to Bruno the other day, and he didn't seem to thrilled. Either bored with the idea or maybe, more likely given my schedule and track record, doubtful that it will get off the ground. I'm trying. Just need a little more swing time.
