Morden smiles at the antics of his companions. As soon as he enters the house, he announces his presence with great pride, "I, Morden The Pious, have arrived. Let evil-doers and malicious spirits despair and let goodmen and fair folk stand without fear!"

Would our thralls, etc. count against our leadership score? If so, by how much?

I've looked at some of the characters and I have two questions. I thought that we were limited to 2 thralls each...totalling 12 levels together, not 12 levels each. Secondly, although we are ECL 13, I thought that the requirement for Leadership is level 6, which as mindflayers we could not be...

"I was born ready," Morden says with a big smile on his face.

"Sir, I perceive the failures of the squad to due, in large part, to the reconnaissance received and subsequent interpretation. We were informed that this was to be a recovery mission and to utilize minimal force. However, our encounters demonstrated a marked difference between this...

Amanu is excited and happy at having returned to the symbol! He ecstatically follows the Battlepoet for the debriefing. During the journey to the debriefing room, he pokes and prods the symbol on the uniforms of the newly joined members of the squad.

Morden speaks up quickly in response to Malikar's comments. "Malikar, well nice to meet you. You countenance and voice seems noble enough. Although the name Malikar just doesn't seem to roll off one's tongue naturely and your intentions seem too good to be true, we could accept you, if you...

I'll take a mindflayer, despite my earlier comments about being a goblin shaman. Is BoVD allowed for our characters? I really, really hope so! Anyhow, here's my email address: c h o i m a n t a i @ h o t m a i l . c o m Please forward me any strategy emails that I may have missed. Thanks...

I think we do have a consensus on the mindflayers. They seem to be the only group on everyone's list, although it may be 5th place in some people's list. One again, I strongly urge against getting to enemy to past 12th level (although I have a feeling that this may be falling on deaf ears)...

At this rate, this thing will never take off. We need to note that any level we pick will subject us to the same level of power, except in the form of pure levels of classes. I suggest that we do not exceed level 12 for all purposes. Resurrection and quickened spells favor the PCs too much...

"I'm not too convinced that this thing will be quiet." Evac points towards the 'foil. "It's probably best to use it as little as possible. I still think the best plan is to build our evacuation backup plans first before going to the rendevous point. We might need to evacuate as soon as we...

As I have already stated in a prior post, I think that having more levels makes the villains weaker than the PCs. I would prefer just 3 levels for mindflayers at most. I don't think that two levels for us is worth worrying about 7th level spells vs. 6th level spells. Just look what they'll be...

I like this latter idea more. It allows late bloomers and also emphasizes the cost/benefit of superpowers. I feel that in an extended campaign, getting free HrPs will lead to too many miscellaneous and, possibly, incongruous superpowers for characters. Just my 2 cents.

Character concept: Lucius Gittimur was never popular; in fact, he was considered a freak! And not without good reason. A rare genetic disease had given him stark white skin and red irises. His parents, being rich and "successful", took him to see all the doctors but to no avail. He was...

"Well, one hundred and fifty gold pieces probably isn't enough to get a suitable present for a princess, is it? I guess I'll see may way through this, although I don't directly know how this would provide an appropriate gift, unless a certain Bane seems appropriate. Anyhow, things have always...

Well, my concept was an overcautious and somewhat paranoid goblin shaman, who along the way eliminated all potential challengers and took over his goblin tribe. However, when the tribe ran into the illithids, he estimated (due in part to his overcautious nature and in part to his ongoing...

Considering the variety of possible characters posted here, I have no problems with it. I think I'll go with a goblin shaman, if that's okay with everyone. I like surprises for the enemy. Aside: BTW, should we get this thread moved to the "Talking the Talk" group. And, Jemal, now that...

Ever since I purchased 4CTF, I haven't really gotten a chance to use it. I would very much appreciate a chance to give it a whirl in a mutant/X-men sort of setting...complete with discrimination and bitter resentment.

I think that one of the most difficult things about running a game like this, in which the confrontation between monster PCs and non-monster PCs is evitable, is the setting of ECLs. Let's face it. Min-maxed characters with high point buys go through the equivalent CR monster like a hot knife...

Hmm...sounds fun. I am definitely interested, although I would favor more conniving and intelligent monsters over dumb raw power types. Maybe this should be the lair of upstart devils cast out of Hell. Anyone who really wants a natural monster would just add the Infernal template to the race.
