    D&D for 2: The Deep Calling OOC thread

    Well then Bront, that looks like about everything is done now. Thanks for your patience by the way, I've been explaining the rules to Aquatica as we've been going along making her character. As I said earlier on, the town of Redspar that features in both our backgrounds was just something off...

    D&D for 2: The Deep Calling OOC thread

    1) Sure, that sounds more than fair :) 2) Yeah, I love this feat. When I wrote into his background that he'd been intensely tutored, I was never going to take loads of "Knowledge: something" skills, rather take this feat to explain I know a little of everything. Also, it goes well with Bardic...

    D&D for 2: The Deep Calling OOC thread

    Only things not core on my sheet are the two feats, which are explained on there, but here again for reference: 1) Artist - Player's guide to Faerun - +2 perform checks and any one craft check, 3 more bardic music uses per day. 2) Jack of All Trades - Complete Adventurer - Unless I already...

    D&D for 2: The Deep Calling - Rogue's Gallery.

    Jericho Saul Appearance: Jericho is attractive. Lacking chiselled features or a body builder's figure, he's handsome in that "he's got something about him" way. He stands a few inches short of six feet tall and has what can only be described as an average build. His head is crowned with the...

    Saving throw feats

    So is there one that substitutes another stat for your FORT save or just these two?

    Saving throw feats

    Hey all, I just noticed "Force of Personality" in the Complete Adventurer; basically use your CHA mod instead of your WIS mod for WILL saves. Does anyone know if there are other feats mimicking this effect for the other saving throws? Cheers. :)

    D&D for 2: The Deep Calling OOC thread

    I will edit this tomorrow to include my actual character sheet, until then I thought you may like to read my first stab at appearance/background. :) Appearance: Jericho is attractive. Lacking chiselled features or a body builder's figure, he's handsome in that "he's got something about him"...

    D&D for 2: The Deep Calling OOC thread

    Ahh excellent, I was looking at your characters from your sig earlier and wondering about that SBlock. In that case I'm almost ready to post my character, for ease I will use the same format you use in your posted characters.

    D&D for 2: The Deep Calling OOC thread

    I agree with starting at low levels entirely. I think characters that start at anything above 1st can miss out on some vital character development. "Do you remember the time that Kobold chased you a mile and a half before we got to you?" kind of thing is just skipped over completely. I also...

    D&D for 2: The Deep Calling OOC thread

    Hi mate, let me begin by showing my appreciation. I really didn't fancy trawling through all those sites blindy looking for a game. This is much better! With regards to type of game; what are you most comfortable running? Do you have a preference? I personally like games with a healthy dose of...

    Play-by-post: Advice & Opinions wanted

    Thank you everyone for your help so far! I've checked out some of the links posted earlier, and I had no idea PbP or PbEm were so popular! I found myself following link after link, page after page until I had so many browsers open I'd lost track! This certainly merits further investigation. I...

    An above all else group leader

    The group I've been playing with in various different campaigns for the last eight or so years is quite strict on this issue. We've always had a party leader. I think partly because in the groups original incarnation there were ten players plus the DM, we were forced more or less to appoint a...

    Play-by-post: Advice & Opinions wanted

    Hi all, I have a few questions about the play-by-post system for D&D. I hadn't really thought about it much in the past because I'd had no problems getting a group for a game. I still don't, except now with our newly born daughter in the house, I'm cutting down on the amount I'm going out. I...

    AC question

    Hi all, Just another use of bracers that I haven't seen mentioned yet, and a reason even fighter's love 'em: I've played in numerous games where Bracers of Armour have been dished out to casters and rogues and other low/no armour wearers, then once they're replaced by a superior effect or...

    Eldrtich Knight vs Spellsword

    I'm playing a Sun Elf Fighter1/Wizard5/EK4 at the moment, and I think that the Eldritch Knight PrC is fantastic. On the other hand, I think the spellsword is rubbish. If you're playing a caster and you pick a PrC dropping anything more than one (at the MOST two) levels of spell progression...

    Help on Bard Build - It's a matter of pride, folks.

    I think actually I'm going to put all my eggs in one basket and take Harmony and Inspirational Boost, for the massive ally boost. Either that, or drop one for Cure Light Wounds. Saying that, Tasha's is also tempting. Errr... I must've neglected that. I have an excuse! I have a daughter now ten...

    Help on Bard Build - It's a matter of pride, folks.
