Arabesu's Eyes of the Lich Queen, w/ Boons! - OOC

[Arabesu]

Douane, sick (as in cool) and sick (as in disgusting) item.

Fangor, yes 4d6 drop one.

So far we have:

Douane - Archer (race?) with creapy-lover-bow
Fangor - Human brass-dragon shaman with anime style morphing spear.
Jack - Shifter druid with ornamental gauntlet that boosts spell power.
Vertexx69 - Chain weilding goliath martial artist ex-slave.
Bloodcookie - Alienist (race?)

Five is enough to start, so once I get character sheets I can start the first "session."

This module encourages starting off each night with a fight and then using flashbacks to recount events leading up to the fight. This worked well at the table, so once sheets are up we'll start off right in the middle of combat.

 

[Douane]

That was quick. I was just about to post a "warning" that I've never played in Eberron before in case you'd rather choose someone else with more experience. (Have the Campaign Setting, though, so no problems on that side.)


Regarding race, I'm still waffling a bit. Originally I had Human (or Elf, perhaps) in mind, but having now read a bit more, a Shifter also looks fitting.

 

[Bloodcookie]

Hey, I've become a bit busier than anticipated. So as not to hold everyone up, I'm going to respectfully withdraw.
Have fun, everyone!

So I decided to go with Copper Dragon, as Spider Climb at will is too good to pass up. Plus, with a least crystal on my armor, I gain Endure Elements anyways. I lose Survival, but gain Hide, nice tradeoff to me.

See if there is anything wrong, and if I should look at various items to enhance this guy. I have about 1079gp left, for potions, items, whatever. Any ideas welcome!

Fangor,

As a special bonus specific to copper dragon shamans you may choose to drop climb as a class skill and pick up swim...

You don't have many skill points though, so it may not matter to you.

You're right, with the low skill points, it's not that much of a difference, but one worth mentioning. I think I will reduce Kn Nature to 3 ranks, and get 5 ranks in Swim. You never know when it will come in handy... Besides, I might just dump all ranks from Kn Nature, since we have a Druid, and spend those in Swim. THANKS!

Spiked Chain is often lambasted as broken and generally I disagree, except in this particular case, where hand and a half strength combined with dex, wis, and int to damage along with 2 for 1 power attack can lead to imbalanced amounts of damage for relatively little investment.

thinking about the shaky flaw (-2 to ranged combat) and unreactive ( -6 initiative) to get those 2 extra feats. Making my choices EPW chain, power attack (-3 att for +6 dmg), cleave and combat reflexes (3 AoOs with 15-25ft reach). So no need to even worry about shadow blade.

I started this character in a tabletop game last year but only got to play him 4-5 times before RL intruded and the game ended.

On a different topic, I can't seem to access Invisible castle since I formatted my computer so could I get you to roll me up a set? Unless you want to just use your dice at home or let me.

The set I rolled up here is 16, 16, 15, 15, 12, 8 (I've only rolled an 18 once in the last 15 characters I've played TT )

and could I get a price check on augment crystals for +1d6 dmg, ghost touch and DR if you'd be so kind? (I have the spell compenium not the MIC ;p)

I think it would be more balanced to limit your character to one flaw; -2 to attacks you never really plan on using is a trivial penalty for a feat, but I'll allow it.

Iron ward diamond, armor crystal: 500 gp least, DR 1/- for 10 hp/day; 2k lesser, DR3/- for 30 hp per day.

Crystal of Energy Assault, weapon crystal: 600 gp least, add 1 point of damage of crystal's type; 3k lesser, as lesser but +1d6 instead of +1.

Truedeath crystal, weapon crystal: 1k least, adds +1d6 damage versus undead; 5k lesser, as least + weapon is ghost touch.

Which of the latter two crystals were you thinking of adding to your chain?
