Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA OOC Thread (ToEE) - CALLING MY PLAYERS!

That's what happens when you jump to 4E so readily.

Yeah, and to make matters even worse, now I'm going to be running 2 games of 1E AD&D, 1 of Pfndr, 1 of 4E, and co-DMing 1 of 3.5E, all at the same time! I think I am entitled to be experiencing just a bit of Edition-Lag!

Your brain is headed for meltdown.

Your brain is headed for meltdown.

Well, THAT doesn't sound too good!

 

[Rhun]

Well, THAT doesn't sound too good!

Now if we can just get some d20 Modern/Future added to your list, you'll really be in for a ride.

Does sickening blast apply to the secondary target as well? (I could look it up...but you know, lazy.)

It appears so to me after re-reading the Warlock entries in Complete Arcane. It clearly states that I can apply one Eldritch Essence (sickening blast) and one blast shape (eldritch chain) to my Eldritch Blast attacks. Reading Eldritch Chain it notes that any effects that enhance damage are also halved suggesting that anything applied to the first applies to the second. I guess if it proves too powerful you could make a case for halving the sickened condition from -2 to -1.

[sblock=ELDRITCH CHAIN]
Lesser; 4th; Blast Shape
This blast shape invocation allows you to improve your eldritch blast by turning it into an arc of energy that “jumps” from the fi rst target to others.
An eldritch chain can jump to one or more secondary targets within 30 feet
of the fi rst target, allowing you to make additional ranged touch attacks and
deal damage to the secondary targets if you hit.

You can “jump” the chain to one secondary target per fi ve caster levels,
so you can strike two additional targets at 10th level, three additional targets at 15th level, and four additional targets at 20th level. Each new target must be within 30 feet of the previous one, and you can’t target the same creature more than once with the eldritch chain. If you miss any target in the chain, the eldritch chain attack ends there.

Each target struck after the first takes half the damage dealt to the first target. This reduction in damage to secondary targets applies to any effect
that increases the damage of your eldritch blast (such as vitriolic blast). You
must make a separate spell penetration check for each target, if applicable.[/sblock]

I'm off to update HP now and I'll consider some new toy requests as well.

Sounds good.

Will get that done tonight, I think.

The Chasuble of Fell Power is of course the ultimate item for any Warlock, but it comes in at 500 gp over the limit. Any chance the longest serving character in the game can get an extension of the limit? He could pay the extra 500...

Chasuble of Fell Power: This long, embroidered strip of
scarlet cloth is covered with arcane sigils and mystic designs.
Worn over the neck (occupying space on the body as an
amulet), a chasuble of fell power adds 1d6 points of damage
(lesser) or 2d6 points of damage (greater) to any eldritch blast
the wearer invokes, or to any spell the wearer casts that deals
hit point damage and has the chaotic descriptor.
Moderate evocation; CL 6th (lesser) or 9th (greater); Craft
Wondrous Item, creator must be able to invoke an eldritch
blast or cast chaos hammer; Price 8,000 gp (lesser), 18,000 gp
(greater).

+2 gloves of dexterity 4000
+2 chain shirt 4250
+2 Cloak of Resistance 4000

Wouldn't have seen this for a while if Rhun hadn't bumped the IC thread!

But yep, Kurt still willing to provide 'the treatment'.

And concur that Slavers would make more than suitable patients. (I also concur that the DM needs to be just as motivated as the players, if not more so!).

I'll try and get onto levelling up and wish list tonight (my time).

Trevor Champlaign

"You know," says Trevor as he lays aside his warhammer and begins to polish up his trusty old longsword, "I'm glad that I never had a chance to sell or get rid of ol' Bessie here, because now that I think about it, even with the enchantment on my warhammer, SkullCracker, I still have more chance of connecting with her. I still favor SkullCracker at times, but in the ordinary course of bloodletting, we'll be better served if I use a blade instead of a glorified club. Yes, I"ve missed Bessie!"

OOC: Thanks to his m/w sword and weapon focus feat he has an attack edge of +1 with the longsword as opposed to the warhammer. And next level he'll be able to take the feat of Weapon Specialization (Longsword), as well as gaining iterative attacks thanks to BAB.
