A WINTER in EVENINGSTAR

[Bronn Spellforger]

Filthy elves! Ya can't trust 'em

Mahiro asks a good question... how to determine spells for a Wizard.

The way Tom and I worked it is this:

A Wizard gets to choose his two spells per level as normally. Then you roll to see how many spells of each level you get .. then these spells are rolled randomly. (I just rolled a percentile dice, ignoring the high rolls, and counted the spells as their listed in the PH).

Tom and I decided that for a 6th level wizard, he hould get 3d6+3 first level spells, 2d6+2 second level spells, and 1d6+1 third level spells... but this might be changed.

I would say its fair for a 3rd level Wizard to get: 2d6+3 first level spells and then 1d6+2 second level spells.

For a 7th level Wizard, I would use the same as the 6th level, but add a 1d4+1 for fourth level.

What do you think, Glen? Care to make a ruling?

Let me think about the spells thing. I might need to steer you towards certain ones. I'll get back to you on this sometime this weekend.

Mahiro, you'll want to catch up, if you haven't already, on the campaign by reading http://test.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=241&perpage=20&pagenumber=1

What's the word, fearless DM?

Quick question: Hey, will you allow the Greater Spell Focus feat from FRCS? Bronn loved that feat *sniff*.

By the way, we've never had a barbarian in our campaign (except for Tom's Bugbearian). Anyone want to make one? Raging rocks!

Barbarian

Bronn,
Maybe you should add a level of barbarian to your dwarf...

For the slight cost of -10% exp you could have a raging, weapon using mage!! Fast movement would work well for a dwarf bringing him up to human speed, plus he could use all non-exotic weapons. Just think of the possibilities... Battle Axes... Long Bows...

Plus, I imagine that Bronn would be a little upset about being cast out of his clan so he'd be a little mad. (Raging mad??)

 

[Tom Cashel]

Oooh, sore subject.

Bronn is actually deceased--consumed and mostly digested by the dragon Nightscale in Aerunedar. In the process, though, Bronn wounded the dragon with a full-strength fireball, probably cutting the lifespan of the beast by one round and thus saving the life of someone else in the group (most likely his cousin Velm).

By the way...I'd say all Feats for which your character qualifies (from FRCS and elsewhere) should be allowed. I was hesitant to load you guys down with info and choices when we were just starting out (and trying to learn 3e), but now they should be fair game. Monte?

 

[Mahiro Satsu]

Oops

Thanks for the reminder Tom, I haven't read that far in the campaign story yet, but now that you mention it I thought Bronn's "Location: Dead" thing was kinda fishy. ANyway, I thought that the character Bronn was going to play this time was like a rehashing of the original, Bronn Mk 2, or something. Sorry to open up some old wounds, Friend Bronn.

 

[Van Dyksun]

Monte says yes

Yes, all those feats are available.

I'm still thinking about the spells thing. I'll talk with Tom about this at lunch today and see if we can work something out that's equitable. I'm not a big fan of too much random stuff when creating characters, so that's why I'm hesitating a bit here--I'd much rather give you definate choices.

Spells

Take your time there Van. I thought thats why you wanted to get back to us about it, and i agree. I thought about Aoth being an evoker. With Bronn saying that his character is only interested in the illusionary spells and evoker or conjurer might be a good addition. And it works for my character. If Aoth sneak attacks with a spell does he get his +2d6 damage?

 

[Tom Cashel]

Re: Spells

If Aoth sneak attacks with a spell does he get his +2d6 damage?

Coup d'm: No way!

Bronn Mk 2. That's freakin' funny! It could be a murderous clone, or perhaps a zombie mage. Whaddya think, Bronn?

 

[Van Dyksun]

Spell Sneak Attacks

Interesting question. The quick answer is Tom's "no."

The thinking answer is: Only if the spell allowed you to clearly target a body part.
