Death of the dragons (OOC)

[Vertexx69]

@ demon - check out my post #242 about magic item pricing. FYI with only 2 HD you will die the first time you get hit in this game, as its pretty hairy

[hellrazor111]

I think thats why hes an archer. lol

and hes using a shocking composite long/greatbow that utilizes his high strength bonus, with 100 gold per bonus added

Mitherel shirt is 1100 gold, +1000 for light fortification (a +1bonus), but price would double if he wants openings for his wings and extra arms.

[Vertexx69]

Magic weapons and armor need to have a regular +1 (as in +1 to hit/dmg) before any special abilities can be added (like Shock or Light Fortification) as per the DMG pgs. 217 & 221.

And half giant is still medium (albeit with the 'powerful build' class feature), so he wouldn't get wings from the half dragon template.

@ Demon - The flying archer is always a good concept if you can pull it off. You might want to consider the flying template instead of insectile or half dragon. It has the same stat bonuses as insectile. With powerful build you can use the large sized longbow for 2d6 base dmg. Saving up for the force feature for the bow is always fun too

[Demonwolf91]

I fixed the character and ya the force ability rocks but if we see anything with force immunity I am boned

[Voidrazor]

I just compared the two carefully. You only lose the SR and your darkvision becomes 60' rather than 120'. But the big thing I discovered is that the 'lesser' Drow is +0 LA not +1. So, in addition to taking a full 5 levels of Warlock, you'd have an extra level to play with (probably to go to Cleric 4, but a dip into something else might also be good).

I think I'll be tweaking my class to that version if allowed. That'd be very good for me, I think.

I'll end up pretty un-optimized if you all go like this. Maybe I should take out my feral mineral (crystaline) warrior dwarf with hatred for undead? Slow, but hey, he can take a beating. :P

I didn't think my Drow was really that outlandish, is she? I mean, she has a pretty distinct and solid backing for all of her abilities, since Drow consort with Demons(Lolth's Servants) and most of Lolth's stronger female's are clerics... the only slightly odd thing is the Draconic, which is easily explained due to the pervasive draconic influence in this realm... >.>

Skin: Onyx

Appearance: Ardularra was typical of the drow in several respects, primarily being her obsidian skin. Her hair was a fairly rare color, the platinum blonde locks tied up to fall in a ponytail just down to her shoulders. Her eyes differed slightly too. While golden eyes were rare, what made it obvious Drow wasn't the only think coursing through her veins was the woman's pupils. Rather than circular as most humanoids, they were slitted, as a feline or dragon. Her build was fairly robust for a Drow, though she still was no frontline warrior, she could hold her own if forced into such situations.

Her form was adorned with a breastplate upon which was engraved a depiction of the Spider Queen, and flowing robes upon the rest of her form, primarily of a dark violet color.


Base Image http://media.photobucket.com/image/d.../elves22-1.jpg

Background: Ardularra was born into the house Rilynath, which was a fairly small house, having authority only in the city of Verathrax at the time. However, it had almost the entire city in a stranglehold, allowing them to act as they wished, and a few within the House had even began missing religious functions in Honor of Lolth. Of course, Lolth would not tolerate this, and ordered the Church to have House Rilynath destroyed for tolerating and facilitating this blasphemy. As a result, the Church in Verathrax sent word to nearby cities, and a largescale purge took place. Realizing their predicament, the family scattered.

Ardularra was a young girl, and was a Priestess of minor standing herself. Fortunately, she had managed to slip away, striking down the two priestesses sent to deal with her. In the confusion, the young Drow slipped away, vowing vengeance upon the rest of the Drow, vowing that she would prove to Lolth that she remained faithful. She eventually made her way to the surface, where she stumbled upon a small village...

I meant it more lightly. Everyone is focused on optimization. I went with 'gestalt is powerful as-is, I'll make a story'... now I think I'm only one without 20 in attributes and with two 14s

Well, I've a story in my head for Ardularra, just haven't gotten it down yet, things been a bit hectic here.

[Vertexx69]

I know that Marius wants to save the weretiger, but restoring sanity is wish territory. That is so far beyond our capability as "5th level" characters, gestalt or otherwise, that it really is just wishful thinking on your monks part. If we were around 9th lvl it would be much more possible.

[Neurotic]

Yes, I know. I'm just playing part. It's seifers friend/father/teacher and he is resigned to killing him.

Ideal: subdue the beast. Keep it sedated using mundane herbs or sleep potions or any other method. Buy or create enchanted adamantine chains or do some other fancy stuff to bind it into chains with reasonable chance of not breaking. Leave War and Alariass to care for it while we go and level (I mean find a way to restore him)

More realistical, especialy given party composition: Marius will be voted down and the beast will die. After we level sufficiently he MAY be reincarnated or resusrected.

Right now it comes to how fast can we collect enough money to pay for treatment and how to trasnport it somewhere with reasonable chance of having high level cleric available.

Just checking, Hellrazor, is my new sheet for Ardularra acceptable?

Where is the Binder found again? and for light sensitivity, there are goggles called Sundark Goggles from Races of the Dragon that will prevent it, if you dont have the book, I can provide an explination and cost.
You gonna finish story and appearance?


Oh, and to everyone: Put you character Sheet in the RG, a link is in my signature.

Binder is in Tome of Magic.

I would need that information, as I intended to rely on the 'Cloak of Dark Power' Drow Domain spell... which only lasts minute/level making it essentially a 1 or maybe 2 encounter dealy.

As for story and appearance, yeah, sorry about the delay, things been hectic lately. Just spent the past like 40 minutes fixing my web connection.

Edit: Background and appearance are added, did you want to look over them before I stick her in the RG?

[Neurotic]

yummy pic. Wait 'till Marius finds out you're part dragon, he'll slober all over her (in his own withdrawn and aloof way of course )

What will his response be when he finds out she worships Lolth, though? lol. I mean, Marius is LG, isn't he? How would he react to dealing with a Servant of a CE god? Honestly, I had considered trying to tweak her alignment, but to keep qualifying for Warlock, she has to be Chaotic or Evil, unless Hellrazor is willing to ease that restriction...(I'd like for her to be able to at least go plain Neutral(if plot events ever manage to move her from Worship of Lolth to some other Deity)

Anyways, atm, Ardularra is a bit steeped in Drow psychology, so it'd take some rather concerted effort on Marius's part to get any form of respect from her, lol

Although, I've no real objection to that whole thing, from an IC perspective, it'd take a bit of work.

[Neurotic]

Marius is withdrawn, it is unlikely to become anything more then respectful affiliation. And servant of CE god is CN as I see.

I'm not one for being very 'evil' and even were I prone to playing a truly evil character, the type of evil I could see Ardularra being (emulating her Goddess) was specifically banned by Hellrazor.
