Whirtlestaff's Wizards' Acad. Revisited, OOC02

[Scott DeWar]

Well, do I need to buy the first item in the set or can I just make it?

maybe of another wizard has an item of it, you and the other wizard can work together on the project: yur exp and gold, his item under his watchful eyes and has loaned you the item to you to put you 'in possession' of one of the item of the set.

of course, finding someone with an item of the set. . .

You can just make it PROVIDED that you have access to a large library and very well-stocked laboratory, which you currently do not have in Pembrose. (Libraries/laboratories like the ones at the Whirtlestaff's campus.) Otherwise, you'll need to have an item from the set to make other items in the set.

I'll be traveling starting mid-morning today through sometime fairly late Tuesday. I'll have some opportunities to post during that time but it will be very sporadic (I'll try to get something up once a day, but no promises). If action needs to be taken on one of my characters' behalf to move things along I'd appreciate it if the GM of that game would take care of it for me!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is the 3rd time I've responded to this message today, so I know you're not talking to the DM of this game!

Ok DeWar, just because I said you had a good idea yesterday does not mean that I'm surrendering all of the DM duties to you! ( j/k) For now, we'll go with what the book says, but it occurs to you that the idea you've had may be a good place for future research. (When you have plenty of time, gold, and lab supplies on hand, and don't have the success of an adventure depending upon the outcome of the research!)

Just trying to be thorough. It must say something about my opinion of your DMing when you're running three of the five games I'm playing in. Or maybe it's just that you're one of the three people in the world who'll put up with me in your games . . .

I agree that it must say something. WHAT it says is a whole different matter. Some possibilities:

1. You're just stuck in a rut.

2. I'm just stuck in a rut.

3. We're really just different Avatars of the same (Very) Powerful Deity.

4. We take out our frustrations by killing each other's characters on ENWorld. (I've got the edge on ya there, buddy! I've got 3 of 'em right in the palm of my hand, and you've only got ONE of mine, and that game hasn't even officially started yet! nyah! )

#3 definitely gets my vote, hands down.

I vote for #4... because for my PC's it'd be the most fun to watch

You'd just better PRAY that I don't Take Manny or Amhirgin (? is that right?) out with an AoE attack, dude!

KA-POWWW!!

(Ooops, got some on Xavier/Khellek, too!)

Feat for Francheska

The original idea for Francheska was for her not to have a familiar. With the bonus feat at CL5, I've been reconsidering.

I've been mulling over the Improved Familiar feat, and summoning a small fire elemental. The problem is, how to transport the familiar? Can she have a small fireproof case to carry over her shoulder? Is this viable at a low level, where someone might attack my familiar just for existing?

Alternatively,Eschew Materials or Greater Spell Focus (Evocation) would make sense.

Thoughts from Leif and the peanut gallery?

When will the game get going again?

You could try the Immediate Magic alternative class feature from PHB2. It a trade for your familiar and is force based. Also you could look at the Invisible Needle reserve feat for 5th level.

EDIT: Won't you get Greater Spell Focus (Evocation) for free next level?

Hmmm, you're not going to make it easy for me, are ya, Bro? The thing about a fire elemental is that there's not really any substance to it, is there? So I guess you could store it in a bottle or metal flask that you could carry easily enough. Mind you, it's going to be HOT with a fire elemental inside! Any other clever ideas? If you take an alternate route, I would personally suggest Greater Spell Focus (Evocation), but it's your call. (If we can figure out a way for you to carry the elemental without perpetually having blisters or starting a conflagration, that is.)

FYI - Greater Spell Focus (Illusion) is one of Gnurl's favorite feats! It helps to make his illusions ding nigh impossible to save against, which comes in very handy when he wants to take someone out with a Phantasmal Killer.

We have a whole 'gallery' just for PEANUTS?

When will the game get going again?

Soon, very soon. Mainly just waiting for all the character progression issues to be sorted out. And, yes, I know, we're almost a week behind my projection as it is. Sorry.
