I6: Ravenloft (adapted to 3.x) - OOC Thread - CALLING MY PLAYERS!

[renau1g]

Whoops... I must've missed that post. As for the confines, the endure exposure invocation will allow my allies to be immune to my breath weapon. Realizing now that it'll be mostly indoors, I'll probably switch out the flight invocation for something else.

If we need to change things up on the fly that's cool, I don't want an overpowered super-PC (When I feel like playing one of them I play 4e ). I've never played it myself, one of my RL players made me buy the book (ok he split on it), but he bailed before we got to play that PC.

Let me know what you think.

I threw up a Rogue's Gallery for this game. When your PC is complete and ready for me to check over, please post them there.

Since Duskblades don't start with according to Crystal Keep, why did you choose a medium armor for him? I know you get the Armored Mage for medium armor, but don't you still need the Medium Armor Proficiency?

Also it seems a waste to have a buckler for him if he uses a two handed weapon since you can't apply the shield bonus when you use the sword, or is that for when you are casting?

 

[s@squ@tch]

In the PHB2, on page 19, it says that duskblades are proficient with all weapons and all armors/shields (except tower shields).

Kind of odd, as you wouldn't think they'd be proficient with heavy armors at all.

... They're not. Not by themselves, anyways.

Also, you do know that even though he can wear the shield while wielding a two-handed weapon, he doesn't get the AC bonus when doing so, right?

It does indeed.

And I'm thankful for the catches of my peers; they are absolutely right that Kinem's PC would lose your shield bonus to AC on any round which you make a melee attack.

Buckler
This small metal shield is worn strapped to your forearm. You can use a bow or crossbow without penalty while carrying it. You can also use your shield arm to wield a weapon (whether you are using an off-hand weapon or using your off hand to help wield a two-handed weapon), but you take a -1 penalty on attack rolls while doing so. This penalty stacks with those that may apply for fighting with your off hand and for fighting with two weapons. In any case, if you use a weapon in your off hand, you don’t get the buckler’s AC bonus for the rest of the round.

You can’t bash someone with a buckler.

It isn't written very well, but I read this the same as the others...if you're offhand is involved in an attack (either with two-handed fighting or a two-handed weapons), you would lose the buckler's AC.

It just dawned on me that nobody has mentioned anything other than humans yet, but some of the other races in my homebrew have slightly different abilities/ability score modifiers...most notably elves and half-orcs are slightly different.
