Think i got about everything done let me know if you find any problems. Kind of been side tracked trying to make sure my place doesn't flood.
Nice start guys!
Just like ol' times. ;)
I'm calculating your max HP to be 45.
Let me know if you agree.
How do you see your character joining the party?
You have 20000 gp to spend on items and at least 2000 of that has to be on disposable items. You have over 19000 spent on non-disposable items so far, so that has to be fixed.
Everything else looks fine.
We'll have to find a way to integrate your character into the party. How do you see Zoltan joining the group?
Guys, my PCs are usually pretty pleasant and cooperative, but that's not the way Iolar is tending.
If you are interested:
Iolar is also an unabashed elf-supremacist. She believes elves are the pinnacle of humanoid life-forms, three steps above all the rest. For her the only flaw in elven society is the government. She feels government detracts from the 'natural' elven spirit.
Iolar is pretty self-motivated about defending the Mierani Forest from the drow threat. Rumors of the conflict have spurred the thought that the monarchy is botching a threat to 'elven-ness'. The dearth of hard information only reinforces this belief. She thinks the government is trying to cover their incompetence.
Determined to find out the truth for herself and deal with this mysterious threat, Iolar has journeyed to the Mierani. Kwava is just the latest in a long line of elves stretching back to the Fierani Forest who have helped her on her way.
Just let me know if she is too abrasive, or offensive and I can tone her down. The last thing I want is player friction, but sometimes I like a little personality clash in character. I can see where she might generate too much.
I plan on introducing Iolar to the group through acquaintance with Kwava next.
Yeah I'm still here. Its been a hectic week.
Nice riposte, Javell.
Thanks! I had a lot of fun with that one. :)
Not to worry about Iolar's attitude, Ludomancer. Once they get to Crying Leaf she'll be all about seeing the enemy.
Also, I had forgotten to pick spells for her. All set now.
Tyrrol the Taciturn gets the last word!
Ludomancer,
I just want to run my wildshape interpretation past you to see if we are in agreement.
Wild Shape (Su): At 4th level, a druid gains the ability to turn herself into any Small or Medium animal and back again once per day. Her options for new forms include all creatures with the animal type. This ability functions like the beast shape I spell, except as noted here. The effect lasts for 1 hour per druid level, or until she changes back. Changing form (to animal or back) is a standard action and doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity. The form chosen must be that of an animal with which the druid is familiar.
A druid loses her ability to speak while in animal form because she is limited to the sounds that a normal, untrained animal can make, but she can communicate normally with other animals of the same general grouping as her new form. (The normal sound a wild parrot makes is a squawk, so changing to this form does not permit speech.)
A druid can use this ability an additional time per day at 6th level and every two levels thereafter, for a total of eight times at 18th level. At 20th level, a druid can use wild shape at will. As a druid gains levels, this ability allows the druid to take on the form of larger and smaller animals, elementals, and plants. Each form expends one daily use of this ability, regardless of the form taken.
At 6th level, a druid can also use wild shape to change into a Large or Tiny animal or a Small elemental. When taking the form of an animal, a druid's wild shape now functions as beast shape II. When taking the form of an elemental, the druid's wild shape functions as elemental body I.
At 8th level, a druid can also use wild shape to change into a Huge or Diminutive animal, a Medium elemental, or a Small or Medium plant creature. When taking the form of animals, a druid's wild shape now functions as beast shape III. When taking the form of an elemental, the druid's wild shape now functions as elemental body II. When taking the form of a plant creature, the druid's wild shape functions as plant shape I.
At 6th level, an eagle shaman's wild shape ability functions at her druid level – 2. If she takes on the form of an eagle or roc, she instead uses her druid level + 2.
So, by my reckoning Iolar can Wildshape twice a day regardless of whether or not she chooses an eagle. That is, the form she takes does not affect the number of times she can wildshape.
If she shapes into a non-eagle animal, she's limited to 4th level powers, or beast shape 1.
If she shapes into an eagle she's effectively 8th level for determining the powers of the shaped form, or beast shape III.
Beast Shape III
School transmutation (polymorph); Level sorcerer/wizard 5
This spell functions as beast shape II, except that it also allows you to assume the form of a Diminutive or Huge creature of the animal type. This spell also allows you to take on the form of a Small or Medium creature of the magical beast type. If the form you assume has any of the following abilities, you gain the listed ability: burrow 30 feet, climb 90 feet, fly 90 feet (good maneuverability), swim 90 feet, blindsense 30 feet, darkvision 60 feet, low-light vision, scent, constrict, ferocity, grab, jet, poison, pounce, rake, trample, trip, and web.
Diminutive animal: If the form you take is that of a Diminutive animal, you gain a +6 size bonus to your Dexterity, a –4 penalty to your Strength, and a +1 natural armor bonus.
Huge animal: If the form you take is that of a Huge animal, you gain a +6 size bonus to your Strength, a –4 penalty to your Dexterity, and a +6 natural armor bonus.
Small magical beast: If the form you take is that of a Small magical beast, you gain a +4 size bonus to your Dexterity, and a +2 natural armor bonus.
Medium magical beast: If the form you take is that of a Medium magical beast, you gain a +4 size bonus to your Strength, and a +4 natural armor bonus.
I take it that in eagle form she gets her choice of size from diminutive through huge, and the 90' fly speed regardless of size.
In this specific instance she's chosen a normal-sized eagle form (small animal) to remain as inconspicuous as possible.
Let me know if you have a different interpretation.
Cool "eagle's" perspective there, Thom.
Strange days indeed. Most peculiar, Mama.
Crazy weekend, folks. Should be back to regularly scheduled programming around Monday night(I hope).
You know, between Vendric, Zoltan, and Iolar, I am amazed by the stuff you folks can pull off. It's all new to me so I find it pretty fascinating.
I'm constantly like, "What did he just do?" and "Oh that's cool!" and "What did he just do?" :)
I've always wanted to play a druid but never have. I tried once in RL but it was only at 1st level and never played him again. It didn't pan out too well. I think this is the first time I've been in a game with one. If I have I don't remember. Pretty cool stuff.
Stack that along with these other two classes that I know practically nothing about, and it's fun to watch all the different abilities flying around.
Fun stuff. :)
Iolar, that'll work.
Vendric, that won't work since this is forest terrain.
Zoltan, since the acid balls are energy attacks, damage reduction won't protect you from them, and you'll still take damage from both attacks. Also, when did you cast Defending Bone?

Iolar is my first druid. I wanted her to be a little different from the typical tree-hugger. I didn't want to go the animal companion route. So she's not going to be a melee beast at all. Instead she gets a little extra spell-casting and miscellaneous powers from the Storm domain.
Based on DA's description, I'll bet Tyrrol's round 2 attack kills his dragon. We should probably concentrate on Vendric's next.
The party has proved itself more competent than she gave them credit for.
And the elves were not more effective than the other party members.
So she was wrong twice in quick succession and both times it touched on her sense of elven superiority.
Lothan is going to drive Iolar nuts!
I think Lothan wasn't hurt -- if he was just say the word Javell and he can have a CLW or 2. I didn't intentionally exclude him from the offer.
Looking back at the dragon fight to see who got hurt, I bumped into Zoltan's meditation on trees as clocks. Nice, DW.
LilWilly is spitting the potions back and forth actually RAW or are you fluffing rules that way? Either way I love it.
It is RAW - "Alchemical Allocation" is an extract that let's you 're-use' potions :-P

Lol! Well then my work here is done. ;)

Nope, he's good. He never got hit.

Seeing how "I" truly had no idea what he was doing, I just rolled with it for Lothan as well. :)
And I gotta say, that's a pretty freaking cool ability. Re-use a potion? Just awesome.
Can you do that endlessly? Just use the same potion forever? Or does it end at some point?
RAW, there is no end point. You can just keep 're-using' it...
...although I would argue that the backwash should make it a bit manky after a while :-P

HA! THAT'S true!
Considering the chemicals Ven puts in his mouth almost daily I think that doesn't bother him much.
Well, it is memorable as well as being a cool ability.
Lol! Man this is fun stuff. :)
My folks are staying with me. I probably won't be posting til Mon night.
Nice observation, Lilwilly.
Lilwilly, that was awesome!
Thanks, this is why i like the Alchemist class you can do so many things with them.
I totally don't get the Alcemist class, like, AT ALL. :P
If I was the DM, you could tell me you're gonna fly in the air, shoot your laser beam eyes, and then freeze them solid with your mighty breath, and I'd just say, "Um, okay, I guess. Let me know if you succeed, thanks."
I could have frost breath attack, hell I could even have a healing breath attack. Although I always wanted to build a small army of exploding zombies. Just needs 2 discoveries and 1 feat to do it.
Lilwilly, that was awesome!
It's not nice to tease us into reading spoilers ;p
Sorry, but it was an amazing round for him. I don't know the books outside of CRB well at all. So like Javell, I just marvel at some of the results you can get.
Wait til after the fight. Then peek.
@Luke: Alright, I gotta ask. 2d10 on weapon damage? Okay, that's just freaking cool. What ability gives you that? 'Cause I want to look into something like that. Seeing how you possess multiple classes, I'm guessing it's an ability of one of them? (I'm too lazy to go through it all and check, so I figured it be easier to just ask)
It's just Vital Strike. Any melee monkey can take it :-P
Vital Strike! I completely forgot about that. Thanks for that. Yeah, that sucker comes in real handy when you have to move and only get the one swing.
Yeah if you've got Vital, it definitely pays to have Furious to go with it.
Which is funny, back when I use to read the boards every now and again, most people seem to not like Vital Strike. I never understood why.
