[Arcana Evolved/Forgotten Realms] Recruiting: Post-Spellplague Experiment

[Walking Dad]

May I change the casting attribute INT instead of CHA for my mageblade? I aim for a more wizard than sorcerer feeling.

Have you access to Iron Heroes? I would be interested in the Bonded Weapon trait as a ceremonial feat or talent.

I've got no promblem with this, as a matter of fact it makes more sense.

Have you access to Iron Heroes? I would be interested in the Bonded Weapon trait as a ceremonial feat or talent.

Yes, I do. I have the IH1.0 Book & PDF. I'll allow the following:

Weapon Bond [Talent]
You have a natural talent for wielding a single, specific type of weapon such as a longsword or crossbow. From a young age, you demonstrated an advanced mastery of its use.

Mechanics: Select a single simple, martial, or exotic weapon. You are automatically proficient with this weapon, even if your class does not normally grant access to it.

You feel so comfortable with the weapon, it feels like an extension of your body, personality, and intellect. You may choose an ability score other than Strength to modify your attacks and damage with the bonded weapon; consider the chosen ability score’s bonus your Strength bonus for these purposes. For example, you still gain 1.5 times the ability’s bonus to damage when using a two-handed weapon.

You do not gain the bonus for Strength and your chosen ability when using your bonded weapon type. You gain the benefits of only one of them, and you may switch between the two as a free action.

Great!!!

Will post a sheet soon. Still working on the background.

So, I've been reading up on the Arcana Evolved rules... I like it, but still don't quite understand everything... what are the extra books you're talking about from? Are they other Monte Cook releases?

Also, what type of roles do you think are still necessary for the campaign, Reveille?

The only needed boks are the 3.5 PHB or your perusal of d20srd.org and Arcana Evolved.

Optional books are Tanscendence (Arcana Evolved supplement), Unearthed Arcana (or d20srd.org for the racial paragon levels, the Arms & Equipment Guide (WotC D&D 3.0 supplement). The 4E Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide is also optional, but if you already have a passing knowledge of the changes between 3E & 4E Realms, that will suffice.

If you don't know anything about 4E Realms, you are still invited to create a character. Shoot me a concept and I'll come up with a bare bones background for you to expand on.

Also, what type of roles do you think are still necessary for the campaign, Reveille?

Just about anything. If you like playing martial/tank types we'll need one of those. But really, whatever you want.

I'm thinking about a dour and doom-obsessed ritual warrior. Working on a build and backstory right now, I'll have it up soon.

Sounds good. I look forward to seeing it.

This man appears to be glaring at an empty corner of the tavern. His pale, furrowed brow, flanked by long dark hair and dark eyes, give him the appearance of constantly scowling. Though somewhat short, he is extremely stocky, and holds himself with overstated posture. A particularly loud laugh from some gambling drunkards seems to break him from his trance. He slowly directs his gaze in their direction. "Could you find something quieter to amuse yourselves with?" he mutters harshly, and then to himself, "lest I hasten your meeting with the Judge of the Damned..."

What's the list of concepts in the party right now?

I'm definitely going with wood elf (as I've never played one before) but still debating class, I might go straight greenbond with a connection to the feywild. The wood elf paragon would only be three levels and is 1/1 BAB with no spellcasting so I might make that and go a martial route.

Is the AE book Spell Treasury allowed for spellcasters?
