Planescape recruitment: Anyone looking to stop Tenebrous being reborn?

[Nalfeshnee]

so four characters:

An Aasimar battle-sorcerer (oops!)
A (human?) cleric
A shadowswyft rogue
A draonic arcanist

quite a cerebral party, i see though i do like the races
ill wait for another player and see to starting
any questions about character generation, just ask me.

• ability scores are 32 point buy

• hp are 1/2 +1 rounding up

• 9000 gp starting wealth, regardlessof EL, but no item can be worth more than 4,500

• remember languages, factions, alignment and religion - all important things in the planes, especially faction, or at least belief and try to avoid LG - blah!

thats it for now!

Hmm... In that case I'll definitely look at putting together more of a "front-line" battle sorcerer then. Armor, max out intimidation and heavy hitting (mighty wallop/fireburst maybe...).

Feat suggestions? I'm thinking of Versatile Spellcaster for one of them but I'm having trouble coming up with a second good one... Weapon focus?

 

[Nalfeshnee]

keep in mind i will be using the opional rules from UA for Defence Bonuses and Armour as DR, so your AC will be quite high without the need for armour.

at 5th level, a character with light armour pro would get +5 AC from the Defence Bonus, which does apply to touch attacks! so i'd say youre covered there as far as armour goes.

though regading feats, id say dont over specialise, but its your choice i guess

 

[A'koss]

Yeah, I caught it - that's actually a very cool rule. I'm just thinking along the lines of a mithril shirt, nothing heavy. Does the small AC bonus you get from DR-based armor stack with the class-based defense? I can't seem to find the rule...

 

[Nalfeshnee]

well if its a battle-caster youre looking for, you could do worse than try the duskblade from the PH II if you have that. very good class in my opinion. less spells than a battle sorcerer would have though

Nope, the armor bonus does not stack with defense bonus, they are essentially both considered the same type for stacking.

Nalfeshnee, do you want the character sheets kept 'secret'? Since you asked to have them sent to you.

Then we would need some address where to send it to.

Or should we just post them here?

[Nalfeshnee]

Thanee's right, the Defence Bonus is an Armour bonus, so no stacking with armour, mage armour etc, which is why ill be using the armour as DR rule: to make those who want to use heavy armour get something from it also.

so a fighter with full plate would get his Defence Bonus from levels of fighter, and DR 4/- from the armour! tough... but youll probbaly need it

Actually I had considered the duskblade early on but eventually decided to lean on the spell side of the street (especially if it becomes an ongoing game... )

Nope, the armor bonus does not stack with defense bonus, they are essentially both considered the same type for stacking.

That's fine, thanks...

 

[Nalfeshnee]

id prefer secret, so if any of you have any actual secrets theyd remain...well, you get the idea.

my email should be in my profile, i checked it earlier, though if not its vehemerAThotmailDOTcom.
