[4e] GM wanted: Paragon tier adventure?

[fireinthedust]

mounts: depends on what you're planning, if you want them to work. I have a great barbarian build for a tiger mount: charge, kill minion, charge, kill minion, etc. Pretty fun.

As a caster, though, would you want a flying carpet? A hippogriff?

 

[CaBaNa]

A freaking dusk unicorn!

Well a unicorn or a dusk unicorn. Ok, OK, a unicorn is probably the closer to balanced...

Awesome symbol for the wiz|cle!

Little heal, little control, lots of versatility.

I'd be willing to sacrifice quiet a bit for a mount that is as sweet as all that.

Are you playing a female elf maiden? If not, the unicorn should skewer you for trying to ride it. Oh, wait I'm thinking of 2e...

 

[fireinthedust]

well, it would make sense if she was a maiden of some sort. As a Cleric she'd have to be careful of "scandal" or social intrigue fallout getting in the way of her divine mission (so few non-marital relationships if any, and maybe no time for marriage). And as a Wizard she's likely busy reading and being nerdy.


I vote tamed Nightmare. Or not. My guy would go Hippogriff, frankly, as they're flying. Or a Jet, like from X-men: stealth jet!

No prob, and I wil allow it (see my earlier post.)

The last post of yours I remember made it sound as if the change is permanent, which the entry on the weapon is not, the change is at will, meaning I could change it back and forth.

I was trying to determine which way you're ruling.

As for the wealth... I will definitely need someone to tell me my allowance as a level 11 character.

I'm not feeling very well this morning, so I may not be coming across how I am intending, apologies if I seem hostile or unclear.

 

[renau1g]

Theroc, you start with level +1, lvl, lvl-1 magic items and lvl-1 gold to spend on whatever you want. (these amounts should be in the PHB)

 

[eblue562]

do you want us to email you our histories separately?

I was wondering if I could have an item be an artifact that could have extra powers *if* I somehow awaken it. It's in my character history, and I think it's pretty cool. I can mention it here or PM it to you.

Sorry, missed that part fire. Please PM it to me.

Also,

If the power is an at-will and you can change it, that's fine with me. I have no problems allowing it. Hope you feel better soon!

Alright, cool. I'll probably be able to get the character at least more constructed in the next few days.

eblue, what would it take to get a unicorn, or dusk unicorn for my PC?

Take one of my items? Multiple items? Gold?

it's not listed anywhere as a viable mount, so I don't know how much it should cost.

But it would be awesome!

Pegasus would be just as cool, but there isn't one of those in the compendium yet for me to guess at their abilities.

A fantastic mount in general would be nifty.

The hippogriff looks ok, but I've never been super into them. Nightmare seemed alright... just alright.

I'd go with a wyvern, but as r1 already knows, I've overplayed them.

Suggestions eblue?

Personally, I could make up a "unicorn" in the monster builder as a mount. AV1 has some mounts, iirc, and I can add a Mount template to just about any creature. What the power balance effect would be for whatever powers I leave up to you lot, of course.

I'd recommend picking what Unicorn powers eblue will allow for the party, then adding them to an appropriate-leveled horse. If we need a healer, we can add an encounter heal, that sort of thing. Unless you're going specific, but at that point we could just take the exact numbers and paste "mount" on the stat-block.
