[OOC] The Fifth City

Lack of Babylon 5 knowledge is actually preferred so you are good to go there.

As for creating characters, take your time. I am still in the midst of job hunting so this game is still on informal hiatus. Just get your character done as you get time and motivation and let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything I can help with.

Yeah, I am not moving too quick myself. Still having health issues, as well as the usual occasional low blood sugar (a 52 around noon today). Still have a hole in my belly.

I hear you with the health issues, I have them too. Hope yours clear up or gets better soon!

Good to know I don't have pressure to get this character done, there is so much to read! But I'd take opinions from the peanut gallery if they rather a sorcerer or a second rogue. :D
 

Sorcerer has some juicy story opportunities if you want to go with a human sorcerer. Celestial, Abyssal, or Infernal bloodlines would make for the greatest story potential, also.
 


I've been making my way though my Rogue making Pathfinder updates and he's about 80% converted. Should have him finished and a Pathfinderized Cleric build up by the end of the week. Good luck on the job hunt.
 

Heh, just found my dmg in the old comp. But I will use this as it is here!

background/history:

Everyone remembers the war with the elves led by King M'nbarrii, few know the true cost. The humans, led by King Jaahn Sheer-a-dan were brought nearly to their knees when the secret of the elves was finally revealed: A force of fighters taught in the arcane arts. Knights of their own merit, They make their own rules. The Humans made a counter force . . .. . .The Dwemor Knights were formed. A copy of what the Elves had: Knights that faught Martially and with Eldridge might.

[sblock=gnoats]
fire sepremacy [su] You gain resistance 5 to fire. At 10th level, this resistance increases to 10. At 20th level, you gain immunity to fire damage. In addition, whenever you are within 5 feet of a source of flame at least as large as a campfire, you can draw the fire around you for 1 round as a swift action. Anyone striking you with a melee weapon or unarmed strike takes an amount of fire damage equal to 1/2 your wizard level (minimum 1). Weapons with reach avoid this damage.
fiire jet [su] As a standard action, you can send forth a 20-foot line of fire. Anyone in this line takes 1d6 points of fire damage + 1 point for every two wizard levels you possess. A successful Reflex save halves this damage. The DC of this save is equal to 10 + 1/2 your wizard level + your Intelligence modifier. Creatures that fail their saving throw catch fire and take 1d6 points of fire damage on the following round. Creatures that catch fire can avoid this damage by taking a full-round action to extinguish the flames by making a DC 15 Reflex save. Rolling on the ground gives a +2 circumstance bonus on the save. Dousing the creature with water automatically extinguishes the flame. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Intelligence modifier. [/sblock]

I have settled on an Urban Barbarian, and will get him up as I get the chance.

But I do have a question MV, this Fifth city is artificial island. Is is floating, is is solid, does it have lots of little canals and wharfs (ala Laketown in Desolation of Smaug)? Just trying to get a visual on it.
 

I haven't fully envisioned what it looks like, but there is an under "ground" system of waterways, sewers, effectively, that provide the island with drainage and help keep it afloat. The Lurkers, the island's homeless and destitute, dwell there, having no where else to go.
