I appreciate what Ken has said about character integrity (it definitely makes the story stronger), but I do feel stymied because of a lack of options. I've made my skill check attempt (and Ken, you forgot to give us a running status of success/failure like with the contract negotiations. It...

Building a melee beastmaster with a half-elf is a bit challenging, but here's my latest thought for a heavy thrown variant. STR 18 CON 14 DEX 14 INT 10 WIS 12 CHA 10 Beast Protector (to get OA from the hawk's positioning) Twin Strike (for two attacks) Circling Strike (to move the beast...

OK. Good. I hope everyone else feels the same. Sounds right, although I was expecting a more generous interpretation of Finnian's rambling attempts to calm the situation when I get a 19 on a diplomacy check. I understand the character reacts to the written dialogue too, and not just the roll. I...

Name-game? I'm sorry, I don't know what I did to insult anyone... Well, I'm sorry anyways. And Finnian turns to go drop his weapons in the foyer. As he passes Vaunea, he whispers to her, Name-game? what's he on about, Vann? Did I do something wrong? Finnian isn't consciously getting people's...

Finnian steps in front of Vaunea and turns towards her, putting his hands up in a relaxed gesture. Vanna, it's OK. She was just talking about the things at the arena, not anything here. Oh, and let's try to keep our host's head right there where it is too. K? Finnian turns back to Marco and...

I could do something like... Str 16 Dex 16 Con 14 (+2 racial) Int 10 Wis 12 Cha 8 (+2 racial) I was thinking the high dex would help with AC and ranged attacks, but I could drop this to 14 or lower as well and go STR/WIS instead of STR/DEX. This is an interesting idea. If I took weapons with...

"Certainly, Funyon, I'd be more than happy to do so," he chuckles and gives Finnian's hand a pat. Uhhh, it's Finn-i-an. I would appreciate any comments on the potential melee build for Finnian in the other thread.

I've been reading thread after thread in the DnD 4E Character Optimization forums trying to figure out 4E combat. Generally, I think I can balance what I give up with the pure damage powers from the TBF or Archer styles by gaining a tactical advantage with the companion flanking, setting...

Finnian enters the door as Erlai swoops to the top of the roof. He walks around the shop, taking in all the various papers, parchments, quills, and so on. He stops and picks up what appears to be an ink blotter and turns it over and over, clearly puzzled as to what this might be. As he comes...

Well, mostly I wanted to avoid the groin punch if Eustace comes and tracks me down for NOT giving it back. :) But yeah, Finnian agreed to borrow it and he is giving it back after the fight. I'm totally fine with not taking gold at this point, but an enchantment could come in handy. Also...

Now that I got the philosophical stuff out of the way, let's move on to making Finnian suck less... Finnian is a beastmaster. There are two paths: ranged or melee. Here's a first take at pros and cons Archer Pros: raptor can make any target on the battlefield the quarry by flying to that...

I'm committed to Beastmaster. I like this story where the kid gets along better with his animal companion than real people, but slowly learns to find friends among the other adventurers. The story arc would work better in a traditional campaign rather than a living world where he may not be with...

I lived in Russia for two years in the early 90's. The bit about socialism in the fluff section had me rolling. :)

Finnian is borrowing the sword for the fight. He doesn't get to keep it. Yeah. I didn't know what I was doing when I started. I need to pick one or the other, but I'm torn. I like the idea of Finnian as this rough and tumble country boy that grew up getting in fights all his life as the only...

I was thinking on my feet, picturing a wealthy, establishment type in this little village that would have hated Finnian's real father and this reckless youth bastard that appeared 9 months after this village elder eagerly gave up his dad to the gallows and... all I could see was "It's a...

Sorry sir. Quite sorry. Wasn't trying to blame you for nothing, see. Mr Swillwort, sir. Just, well, I've never even dreamed about so much money... and well... just trying to make a joke out of it cause I don't know... well, that's it, I guess. Just don't know what to say sometimes. Wasn't trying...

Well done, Van. That skeleton bit looked spot on. Ha! Can't wait to see you do that for reals. Well, we did have a close look at these things while they were ripping up your paper brain and making little rat babies out of the scraps. I, for one, won't argue when you say they're dangerous. I'm...

Oh, I... sorry 'bout that. So sorry, ma'am. Finnian is visibly out of sorts, having been discomfited in his plans to relax. Ah, yes. There you are Marcelle. Forgot you were still with us. And what do you mean it's not a book shop? Where else does one find writing? It's all in books, right...

Right, right. Sure, you wouldn't know about Carlo coming back to Daunton. My father, well see, he died before I was born. That'd be 17-18 years ago. He was an adventurer, well, 20 odd years before now I guess. Well, thanks for looking at it. Someone told me this was the paper where they...

Hey, Markup. That box of cigars will do wonders for your garden. You might try shredding them around the tomato plants. Works wonders, I tell ya. Bluff Check (1d20+1=15) Well, I can't speak for everyone else, but I don't think I've ever seen 1000gp in one place before. Is everyone in Daunton...
