IG's "Those Left Behind" [OOC-2]

[Scott DeWar]

You all have become so adept at fighting off Chaos Beasts now, this one is basically just fodder for the greater other threat.

Wait a second here, I see what is behind the dark line. What do you mean "greater threat"! Did Scott just waste a crit that we may need later?!

 

[Friadoc]

Any thoughts on this version of Buurt?

Yes, they're a couple of things that'd ned to explained out ICly, but since we all met Buurt In Media Res, and it's only been a short bit of time ICly, too, they're doable, I think.

Let me know.

It's funny that you posted Buurt just now--I was just getting on to tell everyone that if you haven't started your 4e builds, now is a good time to start. We've probably got enough time to wait on the release of PH3, if you'd like to use something out of that book, but I'm going to try to wrap this one up pretty soon.

Buurt looks good to me, but I didn't go over him in great detail. What, exactly, were you concerned about having to justify IC?

It was the dire wolf mount, actually. It was an interesting aspect to the scout bit, having an unusual mount. That's all. You'll see his kit and build out as you look through him. Sorry for the delay, but I just finished dead week for Winter term and next week is finals.

I guess I missed the mount. I can't look at it now because I don't have the CB on the laptop... I'll look at it when I get home next week, unless you want to make a pdf out of it.

FRiadoc:

Good luck on finals!!! (luck of the irish?)

 

[Shayuri]

Here's 4e Talashia. Suggestions welcome. I took the Skill Focus primarily to enhance her rituals, as sorcerors don't have any Int bonus to speak of. I also added the Holy Trinity of rituals (the item creation ones) without buying them,...if that's not okay I'll erase 'em.

Comments on build...well, I went for a pretty dedicated striker, maximizing damage wherever I could. Tal's defense is a bit crappy; she depends on powers to keep her safe. She can do fairly silly amounts of damage though, especially with the Jagged Dagger's frequent crits. The Dual Implement feat gives her a lot of future flexibility as well, letting her add even more damage with looted magic daggers (or even staves) without losing the crit fury of the Jagged Dagger.

Shazi is an Air Mephit, a flying arcane familiar who adds to Tal's Bluff check, adds to her resistances, gives her the Primordial language for free, and can turn invisible for scouting and spying. Note that the Form of Air power listed doesn't state that it can only be done per encounter or per day. It just says that it turns invisible until the end of your next turn as a minor action. That sounds to me like as long as Tal keeps spending minor actions, Shazi can stay invisible theoretically indefinitely.

Thoughts?

I hope to get Uulark switched to 4E and leveled up to 11 soon.

 

[renau1g]

I comment Shay, I see you took Dual Implement Spellcaster but don't have a second implement so there's no benefit to that feat. Weapon Focus (dagger) might also work +2 damage?

 

[Leif]

Weapon focus for a spellcaster? Surely you jest, renau1g?! How about Arcane Reserves, that gives a +2 bonus to damage to your At-Will powers for the remainder of the encounter, after all your Encounter powers are expended. [See Arcane Power, p. 124]
