Updated Patresh

I dumped intimidate for diplomacy, figuring we should have some negotiation tactics besides, "Because I'm carrying this big, sharp sword, that's why!"

I went with Wolf Pack Tactics, as it's just useful in more situations (setting up the flank, helping people escape, etc.)

[EvolutionKB]

Good point about the fey step. I will need a single target spell. With three melee PCs a thunderwave might have problems not hitting friendlies. Cloud of daggers and Scorching burst it is.

A question on items: We start with a level 5, 4, and 3 magic items(plus some gold). No level 4s appeal to me, can I get the gold instead?

 

[renau1g]

Evo - Sure, as long as you're not buying anything over level 4 with the $'s

 

[Lord Sessadore]

I dumped intimidate for diplomacy, figuring we should have some negotiation tactics besides, "Because I'm carrying this big, sharp sword, that's why!"

Should I stick with Diplomacy as well? I could switch to Insight or Heal if we think that would be better. Heal would be good if we're afraid of disease - one person with Heal can treat the whole party, including himself (I don't see anything saying that's not possible), and could be good if we run out of healing in an encounter. Sargil would be pretty rockin at Insight if he was trained, too, with a +10 skill mod. And staying with Diplomacy gives us two chances to butter over the NPC's . Doesn't matter to me, I live to serve *bow*.

 

[Redclaw]

I would go with Heal, LS. There are already a few characters with Insight, and your Wis makes Heal a great choice for you, IMO. Diplomacy would be nice, though, if you'd rather keep that. It never hurts to have two people who can make nice with the locals.

 

[stonegod]

r1: you really should remove the [Recruiting] tag in the title since you've chosen... here I was all ready to write something up...

Guess I'll have to go kill things in Barovia...

Defcon: You might want to reduce your starting dex to 17(we are unlikely to see level 10, so a 19 wouldn't do you any good.) You could increase your con and int then.

 

[DEFCON 1]

Defcon: You might want to reduce your starting dex to 17(we are unlikely to see level 10, so a 19 wouldn't do you any good.) You could increase your con and int then.

Nope... I want at least an 18 DEX for the extra point for my attacks. While a 19 does not do me any good, there is no other place I can put the +1 for reaching level 4 to be any good. The CHA raise was the only place. So I put it at 19 just because it's what I would have done had the game continued.

EDIT: Wait... I understand what you mean. Point buy at 17 and go to 18 with the +1. Gotcha. Good point... I'll take a look at that.

 

[Lord Sessadore]

Updated Sargil - because all the cool kids are doing it! Well ok ... maybe just Redclaw... Still nice to have them all on one page.

I think I'll go with Heal for now. If we need Diplomacy I can always retrain. Also switched Quick Draw for Durable - more surges makes Lay on Hands less of a burder, and I plan to take Martyr's Retribution next level, which burns a surge.

Also fixed Dragon Breath attack bonus - forgot to add level bonus. DEFCON, you should check that too
