[4e][OOC] Clash of Steel [13th level]

Phaezen · Apr 24, 2012

Tactics for Vanris:

Vanris uses his superiour mobility, granted by his elemental heritage and magical abilities, to move around the battlefield harassing foes.

His powers allow him to disrupt the mobility and positioning of foes, slowing, immobilizing, and teleporting them, while he uses his aegis power to protect his allies from attack.

Tactics for Teclis:

Teclis uses his superiour mobility, granted by his elemental flight and other utility abilities, to move around the battlefield harassing foes while staying out of their reach. The only one flying more in the group will be the pixie... maybe

His powers allow him to slide foes around, piling big amounts of,damage on single foes with elemental bolt (and help of the warlord), destroy minion hordes with big thunder bursts and has a surprise for foes who think they should attack him in melee.

Ech, long lists like that make me wish I had character builder.

Anyways, Althaea's mark was given to her at birth. Her family called in a large favor from the dragonmarked house to bless their child from birth. Her lack of arcane power was... dissappointing to her patrons.

EDIT: New Althaea is up. Hopefully with fewer errors.

My first build of pixiemage needs some more work.

Need a little more time. The concept is a little threadbare. Need to flesh it out, to guide me in mechanical selection process. Will try to have something up tonight.

Are the names of the Houses the same? Which otherworldly planes exist/ are known? I envisioned my character as a mysterious orphan found on a voyage to a plane of elements/lightning/thunder/weather/air and "adopted" to the House very early in his life..

The names of the Houses are the same; all the true dragonmarked houses except Thuranni exist (because I only want one House per dragonmark), though most Thuranni build options can be reflavored as Philaren.

Of the 'standard' cosmology planes, only the Feywild, Shadowfell, and Elemental Chaos exist pretty much as written. The Astral Sea exists, but domains where the gods or devils live cannot be found there.

Right, knew I forgot to explain that.

The pact weapon can't be enchanted, true, but I think it is a physical weapon. The Fey Pact sword is described as "made from a strange, blue metal that delivers lethal wounds." I've two ideas on how dragonshard augments could be used with them. RAW, I don't think it's illegal, but I want to make sure you approve it.

First idea is that he has physically augmented the pact blade with the dragonshard, i.e. he summoned it and performed some ritual with the dragonshard that fused it to the pact blade. Now when he summons his pact blade it appears with the augment. The dragonshard could be removed in this way as well.

Second idea is that the dragonshard represents a more metaphysical technique, that he's learned how to reach further into the elemental chaos when summoning his pact blade and bring forth one that burns brighter and hotter. To remove the dragonshard, something could block his ability to reach further into the chaos.

Anyone of those appeal to you or should I drop the augment?

Is it only that the names are the same, or are te rest of the details about the houses the same as well?

You know you can also choose Cha/Con as ability bonuses for a Dragonborn, right?

Heh, nope, didn't know that. Thanks, I'll switch it to that.

Just a few more nitpicks...
- you did not indicate which power you wanted your 13th level encounter power to replace.
according to the character builder
- your defenses should be fort 28/ref 25/will 25
- you should have 83 hit points (bloodied 41/surge 21)
- your initiative should be +11
