A lot of really interesting things here. A few initial observations: 1. This is going to be a very popular 1- and 2-level dip. 1 level will give med armor and shields and a skill -- super for Rogues. 2. The flavour text feels a little off to me -- items "vanish" (rather than stop working) or...

Miss Imogen casts her gze around, unsure in the hasty din of battle where everyone might be.

The wind blows slowly dislodging a lock of Tommi's hair, which tumbles into his eyes before he brushes it away with his fingers once again. He has been lost in thought unaware if any time has passed.

Is there a version of muscular neutrality that is actively rejecting our world as a battleground for distant cosmic forces? The gods have their fights, and therse get played out through their pawns (believer/adherents), and it takes heroism to say that they ought not take place here. Neutrality...

Thanks for a great read. The debts to Moorcock always felt explicit (stronger than Zelazny) when I started playing Basic in the lat 70s, and I think the cool-factor is a big part of its success. Elric as a servant of Arioch, lord of Chaos was rock'n'roll, and the fact that he was a wasted king...

So these are my 2 favourite classes as well, so I love this question. The first thing to ask is what is it you want out of each class? Cleric -- on level gives you armor (which means the rogue side can focus on STR), and it gives you some really useful spells, and, depending how long you...

Tommi watches as the blood goes everywhere, and he wonders about the motivations of the Pit Fiend. His hands are in his pockets; he bag slung over one shoulder. He's ready to go, wherever the group is heading, but he does not make a suggestion. He's tired and sulky: his idea had been right, in...

(and you can get Magic initiate at level 1 now)

My first thought...

The Colonel Air Genasi Celestial Warlock Acolyte 11 [once I was a cleric] HP 69 (11d8). Move 35. Darkvision 60. AC 17 Athletics +5, Insight +6, Persuasion +8, Religion +2. Spark: a Sprite familiar (my reaction to halve damage); DC 16 Heart Sight; typically invisible.; typically +9 THP After...

I'm excited by the buffed illusionist builds possible: straight illusionist, Arcane trickster, and (esp.) trickery cleric all are on my horizon.

This is a great post, and I like the openness to different ideas. While I agree with the premise (DEX is over-used and too important), I am not sure initiative is the place most in need of correction. Given that DEX is combining agility, coordination, reflexes, and balance already, this seems...

Miss Imogen moves to where she has a clear shot of the Hag on the upper level, and fires two shots. Both miss. Should change her name to "Hit Imogen", but that would sound like advice to the DM. Move to X26. Attack with 2 arrows: 1d20+4=13 MISS. 1d20+4=9 MISS. Weed sees what Qawasha has...

Both Air Genasi and Tempest Cleric haven't been updated... I know I could use the old species and subclasses, but that doesn't feel like I'm embracing the spirit of '24. I expect the block is with me. No trouble, just reconciliation.

Update: this is absolutely the worst build imaginable. So many otiose features.

(Also, @FitzTheRuke : when we made characters we were given a free feat. I presume that was in anticipation of 2024, and we are not getting an extra free feat now, but please correct me if I'm wrong).

Not at this time.

I am happy to continue playing the Colonel, but there are two major obstacles to updating him to 2024: he is (1) an Air Genasi (2) Tempest Cleric. Both species and subclass haven't been updated, and so while could use the old ones, that doesn't fully enter the spirit of updating to 2024...

I've been quiet and thinking about this, but it's the end of a busy week and I'm ready to engage. :P Perfect Yes but see my next post. Deal. I think a new thread would be appropriate.

"That is a good choice," says Tommi simply. If invited to help break the rod, he will do so.
