Arabesu's Eyes of the Lich Queen, w/ Boons! - OOC

[Douane]

Corrected, thanks! (Originally he had the WF feat. When I threw that out and reset the to hit numbers I somehow went up instead of down in that instance.)


Initiative only, or the full range you specified in post 1 ?

Please stand near me, with Hightower gone...I feel so lonely & exposed...

You don't seem to have picked favored enemies yet.

In addition to the bonus damage I proposed earlier...

You could choose as one of them anyone who would do harm to the natural world. Sort of a militant environmentalist, with anyone associated with your lover's murder as another option...

Oops! Yes, I put that choice off till I had finished the rest and then promptly forgot about it.


"with anyone associated with your lover's murder as another option..."

That's exactly what I had in mind. I have to admit, though, that I didn't really spend much thought on their identity yet - partly because of my rather slim Eberron knowledge and partly as possible tie-in for the adventure. (I just knew it couldn't be aberrations because he'd never left the Towering Wood otherwise.) Would you have any suggestions? Thanks!


"You could choose as one of them anyone who would do harm to the natural world. Sort of a militant environmentalist [...]"

I thought along the same line and initially considered Undead as a potential choice, due to them essentially being the counterpart to the Fey's wild lust for life. Thoughts?


Thanks,

Folkert

Douane, I took a look at your sheet. You certainly have an interesting concept.

I wanted to ask you how you obtained your skill points. I believe you should get Nymph's Kiss and Scout at level 1 since it makes absolutely no difference what order you take your levels in (and later feats are not an issue.)

30+40+8 is what you have listed.

From scout levels: 11 per level (8 + 1 int + 1 hum + 1 NK) * 8 (4+3) = 88
From ranger levels: (6 + 1 int + 1 hum + 1 NK) = 9

Total 97. You have listed 78.

Thanks for the kinds words, moritheil!

Starting with the original idea (Dryad Bow) I tried to include some of the unique Eberron flavour plus ideas from the classic Fey tales * and it sort of fell just into place. I hope it makes for an interesting character (and game).

* plus some - I almost too ashamed to admit - Green Arrow



About those skill points: Yup, you caught me there. The numbers come the previous calculation when he was a bit dumber (11 instead of the 12 now) but I finally succumbed to improving the acrobat side of Saris with points in balance and thus switched Cha and Int around. (And you are of course correct about taking Scout and NK at level 1 - it was the encounter with the Dryad after all that started him down his career path.)

I am afraid, though, I'll have to "correct" a tiny part of your math a bit (after counting my spent skill points three times and coming to three different results! ). "From scout levels: 11 per level (8 + 1 int + 1 hum + 1 NK) * 8 (4+3) = 88" Somehow that 8 must have slipped in but it should be only 7, resulting in a 77 scout skills points plus 9 from ranger for a total of 86 skill points I have indeed spent: 82 on skills +4 for skill tricks.

Oh, and I wanted to apologize for mis-calling your PC "Rosapila" several times in this thread as "Rosalinda". I don't really know how that got into my mind but I was convinced it was the right name and never bothered to check. Sorry for that!

 

[renau1g]

BTW ... Don't be ashamed the Green Arrow Rocks! I mean he brought a bow & arrow against people that had super strength, could shoot lasers & fly. He must've been one tough dude.

P.S. Nice work on the bow... I love the concept.

You strongly believe that your lover was killed and her tree was chopped down by Emerald Claw soldiers since you found a fragment of an Emerald Claw tabbard on nearby branch. You could choose "Emerald Claw" as one of your favored enemies.

No need to apologize I'm glad if I helped. Enemy undead seems to make sense, but I don't know where you want to take your story.

EDIT: Well, it seems we're a very aggressive group. This should be good.

I've got to say that this jungle setup really moderates the pace of combat. I'm so used to two parties running into each other in an open field of fire and 75% of combatants being dead or out in the first two rounds.
