I think the class gives you an Imp companion, in either case.
updated except for magic items.
So our new gear total should be 6,000gp? Just like building a character above level one?
Narnel updated for items. I am still awaiting Sigil's response to my detailed email to determine whether it is acceptable to change his build to a Slayer.
Correct, and that is 6000GP total, including existing items.
Shame we haven't had any time for crafting.
I have to give it some thought. I'm not crazy about Seneca's build so far, but he will come together more now that we're getting up more in level.
Slayer seems like a good fit for Narnel. A change to female is very interesting Harlynn.
But, but, if Harlynn becomes a girl, how will I seduce him...her?
You'll figure it out.
Well, you always have Narnel's undying adoration...lol
But...but...that would be wholly unnatural.
(Totally unlike her crush on Pluchak, or the miscegenation with an elf...)
Indeed happy holidays to you and yours, as well!
Yes, happy to you all.
I have bought all my gear and am ready to proceed.
A quick overview of my stuff is :
armors for myself and animals (hide, hide, masterwork kikko)
heavy horse (combat trained- the same we already picked up)
ring of protection
handy haversack
wand of magic stone (seems appropriate)
quarterstaff, same as ever
sling, same as ever
holy water
smelling salts (needed them badly earlier)
healing/surgeon/vet kits
campsite kit (for traveling!)
survival kit (for staying alive!)
To be fair, I'm still waiting to update Taedric -- in that I'm not sure of the value of the items I was given. :) I asked Sigil in an email, but, you know, holidays...
updated.
I bought a headband of vast intellect +2, a pearl of power (1st level), and a Wand of Infernal Healing
This is what I hate about new D&D. In the old days, every character was the same and was distinguished only by their magic items. Now everyone has the same magic items and they might as well be class features. I got +1 shield, armour, ring...
Someday I'm going to run a campaign where there are no magic items. That'll learn 'em.
Interesting...I usually play all melee characters, and lower magic games are my preference, even items.
I think I'd say that challenge ranks become wholly meaningless without magic items as they're calculated on the basis that characters have magic. e.g. if there are no magic weapons, incorporeal undead are virtually impossible to kill - so balancing an adventure is more work rather than it being inherently unbalanced
I have toyed with the idea of instead of buying magic items characters just spend gold to get an 'inherent bonus' for exactly the same cost and they can explain what they've done with the money which has netted them the improvement in AC or statistic.
I was amazed that a couple of my players where utterly opposed to this, feeling that it was nonsensical so the idea is currently shelved.
Makes sense to me, but like I said, I may be a bit differenet in that regard. ;-)
I'm playing in a variant version of Tomb of the Iron Medusa. Level 14. The GM had the same concern so he went with a stat increase every 2 levels instead of every 4 (to address the stat boost items) and let us all pick one item from three groups of more flavorful items.

Sounds a bit like a Legacy weapon I had in Heathy's Saltmarsh campaign where you know exactly where your treasure is going into - slowly boosting up your bastard sword. Never really saw much money it all went straight to the church of swords.
I have started to DM again and looking at the snails pace which some of the players took to build their first level characters, I think CR's can go right out the window. My guys just don't all have the experience to handle certain encounters.
Cheers
Narnel is rebuilt as a Slayer.

Bryn, not that I am aware of. Which sucks.
ALL: I am noticing a bristly tone to some posts of late that I hope I am just imagining. While I love people playing characters to the hilt, I have to draw the line when it intrudes on other peoples fun. I hope I am over reacting. If someone does something that upsets you, a conversation out of game either here or in email is a more appropriate place to settle things, or you can bring concerns to me. Again, I hope I am just over reacting, and if everyone is having fun with the game then please ignore this message, but if you are stepping on toes or having your toes stepped on to a degree that it is affecting your enjoyment of the game I would like to address it before it blows up 2 years of play.
Thanks!
No problems here...I am enjoying it as much today as I did 2 years ago!
I am playing Aidan intentionally grumpy- I love the character friction, personally, but if I need to lay off, or if I'm making anyone uncomfortable, I'll back down a bit.
I like it the way you play him, Aidan, and we have got on this way together since the beginning. It is quite enjoyable, actually.
No problem here. All the characters are very opinionated and very different personalities, there is bound to be friction. As long as we can all be adult about it, it's fine.
:-)
Bring it on Aidan! A lawful, anti-social, grumpy, male druid is BOUND to clash with a chaotic, highly social, bossy, female fighter.
My email appears to have been hacked again. So you may all receive spam purporting to be from me. I am going to have to discard this address and create another one since this is I think the 4th time in as many months.
Wow. Was this one of the yahoo accounts, Eli?
Yeah, yahoo.co.uk. Although, I haven't had howls of protest from any of my contacts so it might be that I'm jumping at nothing. Fingers crossed.
