Insight's "Isle of Dread" Conversion - OOC

Scotley · Apr 5, 2011

I had some of the X series modules back in the day. Castle Amber maybe? But not that one. I never played it as a player either.

As for my 4e experience, I'm still learning, but quickly. I've played in 3 or 4 games and I'm running one as you know.

I'll have to come up with a character idea. Maybe a Seeker from PH3? I've been wanted to try one.

Well, the current PH1 Rogue guide from the WotC CharOp people is here ; I don't know if you've seen it. Though it doesn't look like you built your PC with the WotC character builder; if you don't have access to the character builder or the compendium, you might want to limit your choices to things in books you do have access to.

As sixth level characters, we start with a 7th level item, a 6th level item, a 5th level item, a 5th level item's worth of gold (1000gp) and as much mundane (under 30gp) equipment as you want (within reason). Odds are you'll want a 7th level weapon (i.e. +2 with some bonus effect), 6th level armor (+2 with no bonus effect or a very mild bonus effect), and a 5th level neck slot item (+1 with a very good bonus effect).

Don't forget to add your considerable Dex mod to your AC. Overall the feats/powers look pretty good.

I used the character builder, but it is an older version I believe. I convert it into my own character sheet because 1) it doesn't compute all of the math properly, and 2) I really don't like the character sheet it churns out. I have not looked at the Rogue Guide though, so maybe I'll take a look.

After looking through this, I think I will make some tweaks to the mechanics of my PC tonight. There is a lot of good advise in that guide, and while I'm not so concerned at being optimal, I want to make sure I didn't sell my PC short anywhere.

Here's a summary of everyone's bonuses in every skill, at least as of the last time I looked at their character sheets. The best person in the party is in red and bold; the only skill no one is trained is Streetwise (so Nafije's +8 due to items and high cha tops the group).
