Hey Myth, the reason why the DM is asking you about energy admixture is because you need to pick an element to go with it. If you check your character sheet, you have Energy Substitution: Fire. You need to make a choice like that with energy admixture too.

Whoa..... I missed your post way back on page 12 Jemal... I'll get on fixing that now. And yeah, I added the monk AC bonus to the +8 from the bracers simply to save a slot on the sheet. I have it listed out on the new sheet though. Sorry again.


**edit**

Anyone actually willing to craft the Shirt of Giant's Strength +6 and Ring of Armor (nat +4/protection + 5) for me?


As a side note.... I have approximately 19k gold left if anyone has an idea of how to use it. (or.... could simply use it to fund the group in game, but that's up to you guys.)

Sorry, I should have clarified. I don't plan on having Kaethrynne actually take on bear form. The level of Bear Warrior is to qualify for Warshaper. The plan is to use scrolls of Shapechange to take the form of humanoid-shaped outsiders.
Yes you really should have. If I'd known that I'd have said no to the character concept a month ago.
A: I don't like surprises when I'm DMing.
B: I REALLY don't like characters based around expendable magic items.


As it is I'm tempted to veto the character... however, I don't want to force you to abandon all that work and make a new character over a misunderstanding. I doubt you were hiding this on purpose so I'll allow it, though I'm not particularily thrilled.

I am however going to specify that magic items do NOT resize automatically for shapeshifting. The resizing magical items example is so that characters who are natrually a different size don't get screwed over, not so people can make shapechanging combat brutes. IF you want to have all your items naturally large sized (Meaning you can only wear/use them in your shapechanged form), you can do that, but they won't resize due to shapechange.

OK, Character list including bloodlines. If there's nothing else that means I think your character is good to go.

Roronoa
-Oroz Brook, Male Raptoran, Melee Type-
Wind Bloodline

Rathan
-Arineil Silverwing, Female Human, Melee Type-
Celestial Bloodline

OnlytheStrong
-Tagret Artalen, Male Human, Defensive Type-
Water Bloodline

*Pending someone to craft his items*

Ethandrew
-Adamas the Myth, Male Elf, Melee Type-
Sylvan Bloodline

Voidrazor
-Kaethrynne, Female Human, Melee Type-
Vengeance Bloodline

Shayuri
-Sigil, Female 'Human', Warlock-
Fey Bloodline

Rpgramen
-Sabastian Raze, Male Human, Skill Type-
Skill Bloodline

*Please add into your crafting section that Chevik crafted your items, for when I inevitably forget and have to check*

Salthorae
-Chevik Quintillion, Male Human, Divine Caster-
Knowledge Bloodline

Myth
-Silivrenniel Louet, Female Elf, Arcane Caster-
Sun Bloodline
*
I understand you still have some stuff to do, don't worry about holding us up, I plan to start the game sometime Tuesday (My next day off). Tell me when your character's ready for a final look-over, and if you aren't ready by Tuesday I'll write you in when you are.
(Also, don't forget to pick which element you can admixture, and what your chosen archmage abilities are)

We also have Ishalleatyourflesh joining us, he's currently in the field and I'll be writing him in when he returns and finishes his character.

Also everybody - Yes, there actually IS a reason I'm keeping track of who crafted what item, it may seem anal, but trust me it will matter later on.

IF anybody doesn't think they're character's good to go, please tell me what you want/need to change before you do so.

Jemal,
Given the usual lifespan of most play by post games, I wouldn't make a 20th level character for one unless I enjoyed making characters in general. So if you're uncomfortable with Kaethrynne, I can make another character more suited to the house rules as they've developed. It would take me a while to get the new one together, so I'd be joining sometime after launch. The alternate would probably be a Fighter 1/Wizard 5/Eldritch Knight 8/Abjurant Champion 4/Archmage 2.

Void - If you've no problems making a new character then that might be the best way to go about it. I like the new build, it's similar to one of my favourite high level characters.

Void, regarding background ties...would you post a brief summary of your character's background?

Shayuri, looks like I'm making a new character. But I'm still interested in having a similar background tie in. There's a lot I'm still working out, like the character's name. But he'll probably be male, and will come off as somewhat unsavory to all but family. Rather than having died in a massacre by the big bad, he'd have been negotiating with the guy (to try to save the barony) and been Magic Jar'ed and sold to Hell. So there's the same, grew up together/ return from the outer planes dynamic, but a few particulars are different.

long time, eh? military exersise, week long camping trip... don't let the recruiters lie to you it ain't camping... but to the point i was posting for, any crafters out there lookning for a job?

Damian Raven comes from a long line of merchents, a VERY sucsessfull and respected line of merchents, coming from the Famous D'Raven himself, the inter-dimensinal merchent. any way i could use a few people in my employ and i got some extra money to throw around, i just need a couple items crafted, well one in particular, the rest are just to get some free money to pay off some lackies.. i mean highly valued employees... what i need crafted are

Boss's work order

+1 adamantine merciful great sword of deadly precision 19,050 *Crafted:1280 exp
+1 great sword of briliant energy 25,350 *crafted: 2000 exp
ring of freedom of movement 20,000 *crafted: 1600 exp


this leaves me about 32,635 to hire individuals. the exp is comming from my pool of course and i also need maybe hired muscle or a entertainer or other hanger on's. the pay looks to be 5000-10000 plus a SMALL percentage of my share of future loot depending on amount, if any, takers

also D'Raven is in the rogues gallery, thou i messed up a bit on equipment, i don't know if i should drop the merciful from my greatsword or the +1 merciful sap...

Voidrazor - I've seen several cheesy builds using that. Before I'd allow it I'd want to know what YOUR plans for it are.

Onlythestrong - Have you found someone to craft those two items for you?

RPGramen - Please indicate in your crafting section who crafted your equipment

Ishalleatyourflesh-
I'm not sure why you have Heavy Fort listed under your armour class, that should go in a section with other special qualities such as DR/Fast heal/etc.

Fort save should be 2 lower (Base 12 not 14)
Will save should be 1 lower (Base 11)

It looks like your equipment is over the limit. I count that you've spent 1,014,280 gp. That's not counting the 30,000 you have listed as 'leftover', nor the +1 sap of mercy which doesn't have a listed price.



ALSO, I just went through the characters one last time and was reminded that the following Items will need backstory, as per my ruling of 'any item over 200,000 value must be special"

Oroz's Boots of Swiftness,
Arineil's Mantle of Epic Spell Resistance
Tagret's Ring of Elemental Command
Sabastian's Mantle of Epic Spell Resistance
Damien's Mantle of Great Stealth


Current Character list

Roronoa
-Oroz Brook, Male Raptoran, Melee Type-
Wind Bloodline

Rathan
-Arineil Silverwing, Female Human, Melee Type-
Celestial Bloodline

OnlytheStrong
-Tagret Artalen, Male Human, Defensive Type-
Water Bloodline
*Pending someone to craft his items*

Ethandrew
-Adamas the Myth, Male Elf, Melee Type-
Sylvan Bloodline

Shayuri
-Sigil, Female 'Human', Warlock-
Fey Bloodline

Rpgramen
-Sabastian Raze, Male Human, Skill Type-
Skill Bloodline

Salthorae
-Chevik Quintillion, Male Human, Divine Caster-
Knowledge Bloodline

Myth
-Silivrenniel Louet, Female Elf, Arcane Caster-
Sun Bloodline

Ishalleatyourflesh
-Damien Raven, Male Human, Sneakie Melee-
Raven Bloodline

Voidrazor
-Making New character-


OK, I'll be starting the IC thread probably within the next 12 hours or so (AKA early tommorow morning), Any PC who isn't finalized by then will be added in later when they are finalized.

Hey Salthorae.... did we give a name the our fallen magic user that perished as part of our back story? I've got a rather nifty item backstory twist I'd like to run with based on his demise but a name would really help out....

My idea seeing as how we both need a story for the same item Rpgramen.... is that when our companion perished his 'essence' was condensed and manifested itself into our mantles after a ritual we preformed so he would never be forgotten... the mantles themselves would be the fruits of the labor intensive and VERY costly ritual...

*I* also plan once having enough money IC to have the item form a sense of Intelligence being that of our former arcane spell caster.. and the money spent on it would gradually be it manifesting it's own ego and powers and intelligence as an intelligent item....

Hmm, never spotted that magic items over 200k need backstory rule. Oh well. I added the appropriate backstory and I am good to go.

ALLRIGHT, I'm pretty close to ready to post up the campaign start. I understand not everybody's finished, and a few of you are a bit further from finished than others, but I'd like to get the ball rolling before I go back to work.

I've been leaving it till now to let people get their backgrounds worked out together if need be, but with the campaign start just around the corner, it seems time to remind everyone to make sure their background is posted in the rogue's gallery with their stats.


Characters I feel are ready to go:

Roronoa
-Oroz Brook, Male Raptoran, Melee Type-
Wind Bloodline

Rathan
-Arineil Silverwing, Female Human, Melee Type-
Celestial Bloodline

Ethandrew
-Adamas the Myth, Male Elf, Melee Type-
Sylvan Bloodline

Rpgramen
-Sabastian Raze, Male Human, Skill Type-
Skill Bloodline

Myth
-Silivrenniel Louet, Female Elf, Arcane Caster-
Sun Bloodline

Characters who need more work:

Salthorae
-Chevik Quintillion, Male Human, Divine Caster-
Knowledge Bloodline
*Needs background posted in rogues gallery*

Shayuri
-Sigil, Female 'Human', Warlock-
Fey Bloodline
*Needs background posted in rogues gallery*

Ishalleatyourflesh
-Damien Raven, Male Human, Sneakie Melee-
Raven Bloodline
*Needs to make a few changes(Detailed in last post)

OnlytheStrong
-Tagret Artalen, Male Human, Defensive Type-
Water Bloodline
*Still waiting on background and someone to craft his items*

Voidrazor
*Making New character*

Well I was NOT planning anything like Imbue Arrow to get effects through the field. But just the basic use, having magical buffs working with the field surrounding, certainly has a cheddar component.
