Background:
Amisel Vesca is the older brother of Sir Bartola Vesca, a female Knight of the Crimson Eagle. He is a respected member of that evil-hunting order of knights, a pious and devout paladin, and a holy mage. His lack of wisdom is offset by the hard work and diligence he feels toward his tasks. Because he works so hard for what he knows, he can be tolerant of his equals and superiors but leaves little regard for those lesser than he. Those who don't know him well say that his eyes are on the heavens so he does not see who he steps on here on earth.

Amisel bears a breastplate and shield, enameled blue/white in honor of Mystra and the light of her grace.

Hmm, I trying to think of way to create an effect like Fire Shield, that burns attackers. I think maybe a Wall effect, wrapped around the caster, or a Create object effect.

 

[Hammerhead]

Edited comment. I see now that this is full. Darn.

 

[Keia]

I finished Amisel Vesca and was looking for suggestions and corrections. I was trying to create a holy mage and I think I've got the healing abilities down.

I still have some money to spend and some detailed spell descriptions to go.

[MerakSpielman]

Sounds good, Keia. Looks like we might have a tough, battle-ready group here, ready to take on any CR 5 monster.

Now I should put in some work on my divination puzzles... Heh, just kidding.

 

[Victim]

But what problems can't be solved with fire? I thought that fire worked on everything?

So we're all in a magical school?

 

[MerakSpielman]

Yes, you are all going to be fifth-year graduates of the Bluetower Academy of Magic (BAM). The BAM has been in existence for centuries, founded by a very wise mage names Jaros Ryver. Its mission is to educate people with magical talent to bring out the fullness of their individual potential.

At the end of the fifth year of rigerous study (equaling 5th level of experience), students are grouped into random bands of four or five students and assigned a Test (a concept shamelessly stolen from numerous fantasy sources). They must step through a pre-arranged portal and overcome a series of obstacles, eventually passing through another portal back into the main chamber of the school. The instructors watch the proceedings through scrying devices and assess the creativity, power, and resoursefullness of the students. Generally, any student that completes the course without cheating is allowed to graduate, regardless of their magical tactics. Occasionally there are fatalities among those taking the Test, but this is rare.

When the game opens, it will be graduation day, and yourselves and two other groups are nervously awaiting the Test. You will go first.

 

[Krug]

Ok raring to go...

 

[Victim]

Ready to roll. I guess Kera is a transfer student, who played catch up on knowledge arcana and her non fire/force/lava lists.

 

[Lichtenhart]

Please, don'wait for me anymore. I honestly couldn't find a way to design a char of my liking, and I don't want to delay you any more. I'll follow the game, though, and I wish you fun.
