The problem with chaotic evil in D&D is that it really has no place in a party setting, and never really meant to be played by PCs. Its just an extreme for the DM to use for monsters and villains to unite adventurers in a call to destroy.

I'd thought the same thing with evil characters in general. But in anycase, I wasn't complaining, just mildly stuck atm due to different requirements of Ardularra to avoid losing her abilities.

I can count on one hand the number of creatures with force immunity. I had to comment on that.

Did we get XP? What about the loot? I mean that big axe was magical, no?

Yes, the axe is magical, and other than the pelts, the regular weretigers had nothing

Unfortunately, I do not have my DMG with me, so I cannot award XP.

@ Drones - makes sure you fix your bow price. Since you get a free +1 weapon (which could be your Composite [+3] Longbow suggestion) then 6,000 of the 7,000 you have left could be used to add distance to it if you wanted.

@ Hellzie - The Hypertext d20 SRD (v3.5 d20 System Reference Document) :: d20srd.org for all your core rules needs when you're away from your hard copies.

@ all other new players - add your Character Sheets into the rogues gallery which can be found in Hellz or my signatures.

The SRD states:

Q: Where's the experience point table?
A: The d20 license restricts some information from being included. Specifically…
"No Covered Product may contain rules or instructions of any kind that:

* Describe a process for Creating a Character
* Describe a process for Applying the Effects of Experience to a Character

So I got a PDF lul

*Neurotic, Vertexx69 and Voidrazor earn 1740 exp each.*

Sorry for the delay, as I mentioned in my away thread... my computer got slammed by a virus... borrowing my mother's.

Sorry for any inconveniences, but this means my sources just got nuked, so if I make some errors, please understand.

Hellrazor, I may need you to assist me with the Vestiges for the Binder class, when it comes time for Ardularra to bind one, since Tome of Magic is among the sources temporarily lost.

Will add to the RG ASAP

@Vertexx- That would make the total price of the longbow 6,075 right? My brain isn't working properly at the moment.

@ drones - since the +1 weapon is free, your cost would just be 6000 instead of the 8,600g it would cost if you just bought it from scratch. Since its any weapon enchanted to +1 you might as well get the most out of it like being able to add your +3 dmg from str . Although I'd get something like impaling or even just a lesser weapon crystal of energy assualt (+1d6 elemental dmg for 3000g) and 3000g of extra gear (I love my trident pendant) instead of distance.

Distance is fairly rare comodity in D&D so it won't see much play. You'll shoot withing 100' almost all the time. Take eager or something else (how about weapon (maybe truedeath) crystal or something to affect constructs or to deal bludgeoning dmg or merciful etc etc...

Marius will change his maneuvers to include stone bones for the next hike.

I'm confused, what goggles are you referring to, Vertexx? Ardularra does not have those goggles that were briefly mentioned, as I have no source of it... and was not given additional information, so I didn't alter her character sheet. I was thinking mayhap that could be part of her reward (or what she spends her gold on next), since I didn't have the info at startup.

The sundark goggles are from races of the dragon, the source where your draconic template also comes from, cost 10g, eliminate the dazzled condition of light sensitive creatures in daylight, give +2 to save vs gaze attacks and -2 to search and spot checks.

Ah, I see, I got the template from Crystalkeep, not from any particular source...

In anycase, for that price, I'll definitely add those to my Character sheet if Hellrazor will allow it... though, Drow suffer from light Blindness, not Light Sensitivity. Supposing it takes blind-> Dazzle to Dazzle-> Nothing?

I asked if you wanted them when you asked me to overlook your character, and the offers still open. And yes, you would be dazzled instead of blind.

I coulda swore I asked you for more info on them, but didn't get a response. Maybe I'm just hallucinating.

Wow. now that I read drow, light blindness is really harsh. Maybe you can get something like a torch of continual darkness? The spell turns any light condition into shadowy illumination. That would cut out the blindness factor, but would also put a hamper in any ranged attack plans you had. There are also a couple of blindfold magic items that give blindsight and things like that, but at most to a range of 30ft. Drow might not be the best idea after all for any kind of above ground campaign. The Lolth thing kind of requires it though.

Well, with the sundark goggles, according to Hellrazor's ruling, Ardularra would only experience a single round of dazzled before adjusting.
