Character Submission Thread

[Fobok]

People here are pretty tolerant towards varying power levels in characters, though, so if you like the idea and don't mind that you won't be slinging spells equivalent to a single class cleric or sorcerer then go ahead. As the player of a rogue I can tell you that you can have a lot of fun with a character that isn't the most powerful in the group.

This right here is reassuring. I mean, I like dishing out the damage (or, more regularly, healing.. I play healers a lot) as much as the next guy, but when I find a fun concept, I like to go with it. As long as I won't be harming the fun of other people, I'll happily take a less-effective character that has a fun concept. So, yeah, I'll stick with what I have.

Thank you.

I find glass eye to be an excellent source on thoughts.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

As requested, I switched Dunkel's Undead Slayer with Beacon of Faith and am now resubmitting for Judge's approval:

Well, there are several in here I need to take a look at, but I will do the new guy's character first.

Reviewing Joren:
a) As you can see, my OCD is strong. I did a lot of little formatting things just to make it a little prettier.

b) You are carrying enough to put you into medium encumbrance. That will cause a -3 ACP to several of your skills. So, it might be a good idea to drop the grappling hook for now.


Suggestions:
A) I suggest going back to taking the FC bonus as an extra cantrip. Having an extra at-will spell is real nice. And you get to do that with three cantrips across your first three sorcerer levels.

B) See Alternative Cantrips. They are extra choices that you can make.

C) To make up for that, I would take Toughness as a feat instead of Spell Penetration. As a mystic theurge, you are never going to be throwing the top end spells that need to break through SR. And you surely don't need the ability at low levels.

D) I would tweak the stats and drop WIS to 14, spending the extra five points in CON, getting a 14 there as well. That, combined with the Toughness feat, gets you +3HP per level, or a 75% increase per level. It only drops your Will save by 1. And you will get stat bump headbands long before you need them in order to cast spells.

E) Child of the Temple is a waste. As soon as you take a level in cleric, Kn Religion becomes a class skill. After that, the trait is only worth a +1. It is better to spend traits on things that cannot be easily taken any other way.

Suggestions:
Faith: Birthmark: Your will saves are comparatively very good. This brings them up to exceptional for charm and compulsion.
Faith: Beacon of Faith: +2 to Caster level on a domain spell is nice, even if it is once a day. Then again, you only get each domain spell once a day anyways.
Magical Lineage: Shocking Grasp + Metamagic Reach is a powerful combination for a low level spell.
or Magical Lineage: Cure Light or Moderate Wounds + Metamagic Reach is a powerful healing combination for healing at a range.

Magical Lineage Shocking Grasp + Metamagic Reach + Metamagic Intensified Spell goes a long way in being effective across your career. It is also a nice ranged touch spell, when you have a dex bonus. So, it is never a hard attack to land.

The only problem is the ACP issue from carrying too much. But, there are a lot of suggestions for you to mull over.
And I think Mystic Theurge is fine. All my characters are at least dual classed, with one triple classed. I seem to get by.

Fixed! Got rid of the grappling hook.

Suggestions:
A) I suggest going back to taking the FC bonus as an extra cantrip. Having an extra at-will spell is real nice. And you get to do that with three cantrips across your first three sorcerer levels.

With your other suggestions to gain HP, I like this a lot more. I really wanted mage hand on my sheet. Changed.

C) To make up for that, I would take Toughness as a feat instead of Spell Penetration. As a mystic theurge, you are never going to be throwing the top end spells that need to break through SR. And you surely don't need the ability at low levels.

Took it. Also swapped out my other feat for the metamagic you suggest later. (I realized, taking a move action to reload my crossbow, I'd never get much chance to use the arcane strike.)

D) I would tweak the stats and drop WIS to 14, spending the extra five points in CON, getting a 14 there as well. That, combined with the Toughness feat, gets you +3HP per level, or a 75% increase per level. It only drops your Will save by 1. And you will get stat bump headbands long before you need them in order to cast spells.

Ah, cool, I hadn't thought about magic items. So yeah, swapped out.

E) Child of the Temple is a waste. As soon as you take a level in cleric, Kn Religion becomes a class skill. After that, the trait is only worth a +1. It is better to spend traits on things that cannot be easily taken any other way.

Magical Lineage Shocking Grasp + Metamagic Reach + Metamagic Intensified Spell goes a long way in being effective across your career. It is also a nice ranged touch spell, when you have a dex bonus. So, it is never a hard attack to land.

That shocking grasp idea is awesome. So, I swapped out my traits, took Birthmark and Magical Lineage. I also swapped out Burning Hands for Shocking Grasp.

Another look at Joren:
a) You missed the WIS change on Perception. Fixed.

Joren has his second APPROVAL and is ready for a game.

Yosephus Errol Smithe has his second APPROVAL.

1. Alingment: Loyal neutral? as in lawful neutral? Just asking.

2. Background: Open or closed
this means wheather or not others can use sniglits of your backgrond to either use to make a game or link another character
to. you need to choose one or the other.

3. Wisdom ability mod: +1, was at +0. Fixed

4. Charisma mod should be +4, was at +0 fixed

I meant Lawful Neutral. My bad, I'm used to playing in French .

Also, can I change it from open to closed (or vice-versa), later?

Thanks for the heads-up.

Lawful = loyal in french? Logical. I did not realize that. It would be neat to be able to post that way

I am not sure if you can close it later, but I am inclined to believe the answer is no.
