Notes on Johan's relationships to other students.
Ozmar: Boromar - warforged scout
Took a class with Boromar (Animal Husbandry), and knows him from the warforged rallies and march. He has earned Boromar's respect and curiosity, and he likely has a good rapor with the curious warforged.
Bront: Johan d'Deneith - human paladin (of freedom!)
My relationship with myself is best not discussed in public
jkason: Midian Rightson - human druid
Took many classes with Midian, including Animal Husbandry, and likely Applied Relgion, as well as others in Midian's chosen ciriculum (As many would apply to the Paladin of Freedom). Neither of them quite took to the ciriculum, but they have a good mutual respect for each other. Midian sees some of what his family was hoping to see in Johan, though a large rebelious streek that would surely not have done, and Johan sees the student guided into his true calling by a wise teacher (though one not nearly as good looking as Natasha).
ShaggySpellsword: Tel Montayne - half-elf ranger
Johan likely didn't spend much time with Tel, being generaly quite sociable, but what what he has seen of Tel, he sees someone who is grossly underestimated by the general school populus. He's seen Tel stand tall for his friends, perhaps even at a Warforged rally (If he had a warforged friend). He does know that Johan's position as a noble is not something Tel feels very comfortable with however. Having taken a few combat training classes with him, he knows that Tel is a very compitent warrior.
Jarval: Glaw - warforged ranger
Like Boromar, Johan knows Glaw from the warforged Rallies, combat classes, and perhaps from the Animal Husbandry class. He knows Glaw is a compitent warrior, but knows little else about the quiet warforged. There is respect though, for Glaw knows nature quite well, and that is one of the few ways to open him up.
Ferrix: Teivel ir'Torn - human swashbuckler
With these two on campus, no woman was safe. Beyond that, their general natures would tend to draw them into similar settings, and while lesser men might have found a rival, these two, and their way with people, became good friends. However, Teivel's interests ultimatly lay far away from Johan's so as Johan turned to embrace his paladinhood and became a bit more series, their friendship waned a bit. Still Johan respects Teivel's way with people and his skill at arms.
Verbatim: Patruk Sivid - human necromancer
Patruk is an odd person, so ingraned in his studies of life and death, and shunning any contact with his family. Johan had little contact with him beyond an occasional class on religion or life theory. There is more to Patruk than there seems, but Johan has been unable to see it.
Krug: Plonk - gnome arificer
Plonk is perhaps one of the most dangerous people Johan has met. Not that he is intentionaly dangerous, but he is somewhat absentminded and very creative, and sometimes that can be a dangerous creation. Plonk likely attended some of the Warforged rallys, though Johan isn't sure if it was in support or to continue to examine them. Plonk is generaly a nice and driven person, but definately someone to be wary around, for you never know what might explode in his presence.
Idealy, Recruiding another Druid or Cleric, and either a Rogue/Scout/Spellthief or Arcanist would be good.
Suggestions as to the split if I may
Group A.
Ozmar: Boromar - warforged scout (Skill Monkey)
Bront: Johan d'Deneith - human paladin (of freedom!) (Warrior/Face/Minor Healer)
jkason: Midian Rightson - human druid (Healer/Spellcaster)
ShaggySpellsword: Tel Montayne - half-elf ranger (Warrior/ActionHero)
???
Thoughts:
The top three seem most connected to me, between classes, rallys, and general outlook. They also give a good range of characters for a party, and just about any other character can fit in here (And hense, Tel is my suggestion). Probably need another spellcaster of some kind, Divine or Arcane won't hurt. We have tracking (twice), Healing (Druid and Paladin later), some spellcasting, though limited, a skill monkey, and a face. Generaly a fairly well put togeather group of 4, that could use a bit more spellcasting punch
Group B.
Verbatim: Patruk Sivid - human necromancer(Spellcaster)
Krug: Plonk - gnome arificer (Skill Monkey/Spellcaster)
Jarval: Glaw - warforged ranger (Warrior/Natureboy)
Ferrix: Teivel ir'Torn - human swashbuckler (Warrior/Face)
????
Thoughts:
Teivel gives the group a face, Glaw gives it a tracker and a second warrior. Plonk can disarm so qualifies as a skill monkey, and can make healing potions and such if needed, plus has some spellcasting abilities. Patruk gives the group an arcane spellcaster, and keeps him away from Johan (Necromancer and Paladin, probably a bad mix). Gives you a fairly good party that could probably use either a rogue to help with skills, or more likely, some kind of healer (Druid/Cleric type).
No particular preference.
Well, no one here. Many of the players could go in either group, and the only two I'd realy try to seperate are Johan and Plonk, because of the whole Paladin/Necromancer thing, and given it's not that bad yet, it could probably still work fine. Teivel or Glaw would work well in place of Tel in party A, but are probably more needed in party B.
Hope this helps Mista, and gives you some RP perspective on how Johan could see these individuals. His personal preference for an extra body in party A is some hot looking sorceress
BTW, Ozmar, if you aren't aware, recient errata to the Complete Adventurer has the Scout with Disable Divice as a class skill now. Not sure you'd take it, but just letting you know it's available.
