Airwalkrr's Maure Castle 3.5 OOC

Hmm. I'm getting the sense that they are not seeing the batsignal.

We may have lost them.

We may have lost them.

And yet we barely knew them.....

Now where are we going to get a skill monkey and a meat shield?

Let's see if a post title update helps.

Edit: Recruiting is open for warrior and thief.

Sounds like a good plan. Of course, a couple of days an no interest is a bad sign.

Looks interesting.

I've got an idea for a Human Barbarian, a tough guy that lived in the wild, not because he's a nature lover, but because it's a challenge to survive. He did it for the challenge, to push himself to become a hardened survivor.

Mechanics wise, here are some thoughts.

Human Barbarian 12
ACF: Berserker Strength (PHB II pg33)

Feats
H Mad-Foam Rager
1 Power Attack
3 Endurance
6 Diehard
9 Steadfast Determination
12 Armor Specialization: Hide

His Con mod applies to both Fortitude & Will, Diehard keeps him fighting longer, Mad-Foam Rager lets him smack the wizard attempting to Dominate him before the spell takes effect, and the Armor Specialization DR 2/- will stack with his Barbarian DR 2/- and Berserker Strength DR 3/-. Normally his damage reduction is DR 4/-, in his Berserker Strength it jumps to DR 7/-.

Also, +4 trap sense is not a bad thing when going on a dungeon crawl.

If this sounds like someone that'll work in your game, let me know and I'll make a full write up and sheet.

Looks good at first glance -- are all of those feats from the PHB and PHB2?

Yep, though I'm curious how Diehard will work with the Death and Dying rules.

I'm going to drop the wilderness survival idea. As he's not a raging barbarian but more of a tough as nails warrior, I'm thinking he'd have been in some military unit of shock troopers. However, I don't know the lore of Greyhawk very well, so I'm not sure what kingdom or area would be a good place for him.

I like him!

Greyhawk has lots of realms from which "barbarian" types could come...any of the various "barbarian" nations (Frost, Ice or Snow), the Hold of Stonefist, The Rovers of the Barrens, The Tiger or Wolf Nomads. Several others as well. I'm not in the reach of any of my books at the moment, so I can't give you any better idea at the present time.

Thanks.

I don't really see him as coming from a barbarian tribe though. More like someone that was raised in a barbaric social environment (urban, military, etc). Like a street punk that learned to fight to win, rather than a squire that learned all the proper weapon forms, heraldry, and honor. He's less primal rage and more uncouth warrior.

If I remember correctly, The Hold of Stonefist (now called Stonehold) is probably a good match for what you are looking for. It is a feudal monarchy, quite militaristic and barbaric (but not barbarian).
