Stonefist Academy - 3.5 D&D - OOC - Recruiting Closed

Ah Summoners. I love them.

But as others pointed out, play whatever you want to. At level 3 Lune gets touch of healing, which sort of helps on the healing end. Also, CLW are still a parties friend.

Also, am I cool to reroll stats as described above or should I stick with what I have.

Keep the rolls as they are, as I think it should not be much of an issue. I will simply have to alter a few things to get you a little more help via the tattoo. I am sure the others won't mind if it allows you to get on a more even playing field if it's possible.

Either way, you will still have to play your stats in game. Should bring some interesting dynamic to the group.

Summoners. The DM's worst nightmare... er, next to 2ed illusions.

We have all the bases covered, as others have said. Shyfthfl or whatver his name is was hoping for some fleshy barriers for his ranger from which to shoot behind. (that's an awkward sentence, I know). We have a Fighter who fights and a Cleric who wears good armor; the rest of us are relatively squishy support.

Note, the first 'job' should be a short one, to get your teamwork tactics setup. This will be to see how you work together as a group, find out where you are lacking in certain areas, and to see how easy/hard the CR levels compared to the group content will be. Then you will all level up to level 2.

The second 'job' will be a longer one, with three modules. Once each module milestone is hit, then you will gain a level. By the end of your first two 'jobs', you will all be level 5.

Note - there will be large scale battles, small skirmishes, and seemingly hopeless encounters. Know that this should be played in survival mode. You don't always have to kill everything that comes your way. Know when to run, or be prepared to roll up another character, as death is possible. This is only on a few occasions, but I felt that it was best to warn you all now.

That is the main reason for the increase in characters to be played. I hope you enjoy the campaign!

Sounds fun! I'm not married to my characters. In fact, epic and memorable deaths can be pretty awesome.

 

[Axel]

Sounds like a good plan FtF, I look forward to it. And, should my character perish in glorious level 1 combat (probably in a flurry of misses on my part) I will not be miffed.

[MENTION=36150]Herobizkit[/MENTION]: Summoners in PbP seem to work better than in a TT game. There is no searching for the relevant Monster Manual, frantic copying of stats to scrap paper and rummaging for (in)appropriate mini to represent the summoned creature. 15 minutes later, it is the next initiative round when they summon another irritant...

 

[ahayford]

My character is complete and listed in the rogues gallery.

I fully endorse the leveling speed! It will seem like a breeze and we'll be playing decent characters in no time. Question tho...

This whole 'death' thing. I admit, I've been spoiled the past decade or so; when I make a character, I invest a lot of time and effort coming up with decent back story, plot ideas, and sometimes even research. I've become a huge fan of the story-based game, which usually means death is rare.

I've lost a few characters to PBP, not through death, but through lack of follow-through on the game from all involved. It irks me to spend time on the back story only to poof out of existence, and this will likely include death.

To that end, running was never an option in said games. Running meant free time for the enemy to kill you while running, and if you were going to die running, you might as well die fighting instead.

That said, I'm sure we will all work together to make sure that doesn't happen.
