Scotley's 4e Swashbuckler OOC

pathfinderq1 · Oct 23, 2011

And in the end, with WAY too much time to bat concepts around, the winner is: None of the above. Second place went to Dragonborn bravura warlord (charging), and I'll keep that idea just in case. Final choice, though, is human Artificer|Warlord, MC- Bard. Write-up should be coming shortly.

Vivienne de Laureville

OOC:

Unaligned (tending good)
Level 4

Quick background: Vivienne arrived in Franzia about three years ago- she claims to be the daughter of renowned explorer (and Hound) Sebastien de Laureville, who disappeared more than 30 years ago. Apparently, Sebastien found a secluded island kingdom, where he settled, married, and fathered a child. (the idea that he would ever marry is rather shocking to those who remember him). Vivienne grew up listening to her father's stories of his homeland, and of his adventures as a Hound. She also learned from and listened to many of the sailors, merchants, and diplomats that passed through the court of the island kingdom. When she reached adulthood, she left home to visit her father's legendary homeland- that journey was nearly an epic in its own right. Based on certain secret code phrases and items provided by her father, Vivienne was accepted at court, and into the Hounds. She seems to have inherited her father's wanderlust- she has only recently returned to court from a visit to Avalon.

BRAVO, SIR! Not only was that some quality comedy, it's even one that I've never heard before. (As far as I remember.)

Now that is a shame.

Leif · Oct 25, 2011

Not Really. My memory isn't what it used to be.

Absolutely! I must have missed you question. I am back to more regular posting now and I hope to keep things moving. Give me a roll and I'll get him into the mix immediately.

Look like a worthy addition. You want to just join in the ongoing action? I'm gonna need more spiders.

Perhaps Vivienne and Wilhelm were lagging behind, discussing guns. I'll post something later tonight- if we come in together, +2 to Wilhelm's initiative (too late for everyone else).

Lou in 4E, for most all ongoing effects that say SAVE ENDS, the save is DC10, so Ali most likely made it, if you were thinking otherwise.

Thanks. I am concerned about any other damage besides the poison from the bite.

on another topic:
One of the GOOD/BAD things about 4e, which makes PBP discouraging sometimes, is the timing of actions. It slows down the play to have to go in order, since there are a lot of immediate interrupts and conditions from other PCs to take into account.
