Animus' Eberron Game OOC Thread [Accepting Alts]

[Korbin of Valenar]

Question...

Animus:
I'm making a Dwarven Cleric dedicated to the Sovereign Host, and I'd like him to use a Warmace from the Complete Warrior. Is this OK before I proceed? I will be taking the required Weapon Group proficiencies (Clubs & Maces, Exotic Weapon - Clubs & Maces).

Yes, that's OK. I have access to Complete Warrior.

Yep I',m in. One human fighter coming up. It may take me a little while to get the background together though. As for the Unearthed Arcana stuff: I have no idea what that is. You may have to help me a bit on that.

Do you use the Book of Iron Might by chance?

Sweet! all six people are in.

LiquidAtom:
To summarize, this is the list of Weapon Group prof's

• Axes
• Basic Weapons (club, dagger, quarterstaff)
• Bows
• Claw Weapons
• Crossbows
• Druid Weapons
• Exotic Double Weapons
• Exotic Weapons
• Flails and Chains
• Heavy Blades
• Light Blades
• Maces and Clubs
• Monk Weapons
• Picks and Hammers
• Polearms
• Slings and Thrown Weapons
• Spears and Lances

Basically, if you don't have the weapon group prof, you're at -4 to hit. Exotic weapons gives you proficiency with all the appropriate exotic weapons associated with the groups tou're proficient with. Exotic double weapons also requires you to be proficient in groups for both heads of the weapons (if the two heads are different). Fighters start with basic weapons + any 4 others. I'll elaborate more by request.

For the optional stuff, let me know what sounds interesting and I'll elaborate more.

Animus:

Ok I have it now. It's been a long time since I've played on a regular basis. So much stuff has come out since then.

I found a character generator here: http://www.pathguy.com/eberron.htm
It had the flaws and traits there. Kamvul is posted in our Rogue's Gallery, let me know if he is ok.

Scotley, it doesn't really matter to me. Play what you will enjoy, is my advice.

 

[Animus]

LiquidAtom:

You are correct. To reiterate for your case (fighter), you get basic + 4 others.

animus,

can you clarify something for me? i'm debating between rogue2/fighter1 and rogue3: with the weapon groups, do you add both character classes number, or take the higher one? i.e. 2 groups (per rogue) + 4 groups (per fighter) or simply 4 groups?

thanks!

Weapon groups and multiclassing

animus,

can you clarify something for me? i'm debating between rogue2/fighter1 and rogue3: with the weapon groups, do you add both character classes number, or take the higher one? i.e. 2 groups (per rogue) + 4 groups (per fighter) or simply 4 groups?

thanks!

The rule I have decided upon is that when you multiclass, you take on (not counting basic weapons since almost all classes are guaranteed that) x-1 (minimum 1) new groups. For example, fighter gets 4 bonus groups, so multiclassing into fighter gives you 3 new groups. That would give your rogue2/fighter1 5 groups. Unless I find a better rule, this is what I'm going with.

On character creation

BTW,

That 300 word background/profile, that was just a number I came up with to inspire you to make a decent background. I want to reiterate that it is by no means an absolute requirement. It's just something to shoot for. If you don't hit it, that's OK. Good luck with the characters. I'd like for you guys to get your characters done by Monday if possible, so I can have two days to review characters and start this puppy on Wednesday. That's my ideal goal anyway .

Before any adjustments for traits of flaws, this is how I'm doing hit points (2nd level and above):
Hit die (HP per level)
d4 (3)
d6 (4)
d8 (5)
d10 (6)
d12 (8)

Animus:

I should be able to have my character and back story finished by monday. On a different note, I was wondering if you would allow the purchase of any magic items from the dmg (mainly a ring of protection +1). Thirdly, would I be able to make my character a 1st level psychic warrior/2nd level wizard?
