I understand Rhun as it seems I am reaching my limit it seems too. LOL
If you get a break or somethings change let us know.

Ah, I was thinking a caster spot was opened. If Strahd wants to level up his pixie rogue though, that's perfectly alright.

[Mowgli]

Caster would be better for that one - I've got the Rogue spot covered and there are only four characters in the party.

On the other hand, it would be interesting to play in a party without a mage . . .

At this point I'm mostly just ready to get the fourth person in so we can get the show on the road! I've been sittin' on Seilg for a couple of weeks now - almost forgot what he looks like!

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

I'll stick to the level 7 group since I lack the time to upgrade Zap.
Give the spot Rhun just opened for a mage.

[Theroc]

Also, Holyman, if you really dislike the warlock, there's another caster-ish idea I can try as well (which is unlikely to see a game either).

Downloads - D&D 3rd Edition - EN World D&D / RPG News

On this page is a PDF(free download) for the Flamekin race and Brightsoul Class. Brightsoul works somewhat like a combination of a Swordsage and Sorcerer(They can learn Desert Wind manuevers from the Tome of Battle, or any fire spell they can find). If you like this idea better, I'd be perfectly happy to stat one up.

[HolyMan]

I don't dislike the theruge ideal and his crunch is up so let's go with that as it is the weekend and I have work I will slowly be finishing group ones check over (the totemist is taking me awhile sorry)maybe we will start this coming mon as i have tue/wed off anyone want to help with crunch checks let me no

And @ SVZ hope you keep Zap around and we find the last player we need to start that game as well. The module has dust on it again *sigh*

HM, I do have the Totemist dude's crunch up for group two. Not sure if he was the one you meant, but if he's approved, I can work up his story as well.

[Dragonwriter]

I think he meant my Totemist/Warblade/Bloodclaw Master, for group one. Since Gar is kinda complex...

But you did say "Any Books", HM... Trouble is, no one seems to have Magic of Incarnum and Tome of Battle... Or at least, they're not speaking up about it...

[Theroc]

>.> I could double check the incarnum related stuff, but I'd be relatively clueless with the Tome stuff, since I can only access the excerpt and the powers(as Wizards has a PDF download of the power cards)

[Dragonwriter]

Walkind Dad linked those earlier in the thread, and I've linked them also, so they should help a little. Trouble is, they don't account for the Bloodclaw Master abilities (though I did send all the info to HM in a PM). The PrC just wasn't previewed and isn't in the excerpt. *sigh*...

[Voadam]

Where is the RG link? I can't find it in plots and places.

[Dragonwriter]

The RG is here.

I know. I was going to say, I could doublecheck and make sure you had the requisite manuevers for other manuevers, and check the warblade-based stuff. But Bloodclaw master is something I couldn't double-check, since I've no access to it.

Could anyone help Holyman review my Eldritch Theurge on this page? I don't think I used anything outside of Complete Arcane, Complete Mage and the PHB.(Besides a flaw.)

[HolyMan]

@ Theroc also post the Eldritch Thergue in the RG so it is easy to find I am having trouble finding the drow cleric And any help with the Warblade will be appertative I have Bloodclaw info

@ s@squ@tch I have a few things from the first time I went over your character but didn't finish and now can't find her could you put her in the RG plz

@ Voadam Go ahead and post your derro in the RG I will go over as much as possible

@ DW thanks for posting that link could you check WD (hmm?? reversed) swordsage? or Theroc's character

@ WD checking going on this weekend I may not know swordsage but I can check stats and and money and weight up

@ VV are you still interested haven't heard from you in a little while?

@ Mowgli hold tight buddy I will not pass up the oppurtinuity to see a rapier weilding dwarf in action

@ bedford hey can you help check any???

HM

[Voadam]

Done.

The Magic Items are all srd ones.

Do you want me to post a level 9 version in case you need to fill out party one? I think I'd dip into two levels of Marshall if that were the case.

I can try, but without the whole picture might be hard to check. ~rolls over to Gar's entry. Oh, and Telos is in the Audience chamber now. No appearance or biography though.

<snip>
HM

Sure, I can check WD's character, though I think he's still working on it. I can also go over Theroc's, but I don't have Complete Mage, so I can't handle anything concerning the Eldritch Theurge levels. I can only OK his Sorcerer and Warlock stats. (Also, concerning Theroc's character, exactly what combination of levels is it? For ECL 9, you could only have 7 class levels, but they aren't marked, as far as I can tell...)

Using a 0 Level version of Drow from Drow of the Underdark. The details of what that entails is under "Abilities" under the "Drow" heading.

So, I have 9 class levels.
