S@squ@tch's Against the Giants - Team Black OOC - Grinding

[s@squ@tch]

Starting XP is 28000 for all the 8th level folks.

I'll post a recruitment thread for a meat shield for for team black. If H4H comes back/EN 2 goes live, he can pick back up with Jaxel, as I don't plan to kill him off(because then I can make the giants more difficult. ).

So, basically, you guys need a meat shield of some sort if he is not going to be participating, and Stormreach is a logical place to add someone (here's a preview: you're headed into the jungle) that doesn't dress in loincloths and swing from vines. (Although that would be interesting)

Yeah, Sanne's definitely a melee type, but she's no meatshield.

It is really hard to be a meatshield vrs giants, because a couple of hits seem to "tenderize" the shield.

 

[s@squ@tch]

The true art of being a meat shield is to be able to make the attackers miss.

Unfortunately, they seem unlikely to be persuaded not to attack by Sanne's innate charm (or even her mad diplomacy skillz).

In the recruitment of a meatshield, there are three candidates, so I wanted to know if you (the party) has any preference.

One would be a dwarven knight/dwarven defender, another would be a half-giant fighter, while the last would be a warforged fighter.

Obviously, the last one would be hard for this group to heal.

Please let me know of any preference or comments, as I'd like to pick the shield of meat in the coming days, so that we can get them situated before we head into the interior of the continent.

I'd like to see the builds (or at least partial builds) before I weigh in. They way I see it, is we need the one that is the hardest to hurt...whether that means high AC, high hit points, or both, I don't know. We seem pretty well covered for damage output though, so my take is that we need someone that can take a hit better than a PC that can deliver one.

My initial thought is that the dwarf probably fits that role best.

Dwarves... giants... match made in heaven, methinks!

Not if he carries a wand of repair wounds that a wizard could use to heal him with.

Or an artificer.
