Arcane Might OOC

[Uriel]

Specified Scrolls, changed height/weight. As far as Cat's Grace goes, while it would be nice to have it with the 1H/Level, I welcome (as a DM) the restriction. Makes the game a bit less Everquest-like when the mage doesn't use his Wand of CG and the Cleric his BS to 'buff' everyone in the party.

I think I'm good to go, though a background is waiting on some sort of group consensus regarding us as a Guild/refugees from an oppresive Guild etc...



Gods, Argent as leader? (Shudder)
If we are going 'anime-Style', I'll be the Maverick Hotshot

Calim, please see the Yrtchull's Return thread.

Calim, if you really want, u can play my cohort, im thinking im going to take the leadership feat. But i was thinking a barbarian or fighter of some sort, to get up close as we all range it. Or if you are going to play it, u decide.I plan on sittinf down right now and making the character, im thinking either 6 lvl wizard, or wizard/1 fighter (for the hit points and the attack).

So in about 30 min you should know if i have leadership or not.

are we allowed to take the averial elves? if so, they are friggin broken... please lemme know soon.

 

[Snowtiger]

Xael: Could you tell me more..

Deep gnomes (-2 str, +2 dex, +2 wis, -4 cha, loads of other abilities, Level adjustment +3)

I don't have any other books than the PHB. Sorry.

Snowtiger:

Deep Gnome (Svirfneblin), LA +3:

• -2 Str, +2 Dex, +2 Wis, -4 Cha
• Darkvision, 120 ft.
• Spell-Like Abilities: blindness, blur, change self 1/day each, as cast by a wizard of the Gnome's level, save DC 10+spell level.
• Stonecunning (as the dwarf ability).
• Nondetection (Su): Svirfneblin have continuous nondetection as if cast by a wizard of the character's level.
• SR 11+character level.
• +4 dodge bonus against all creatures, not just giants.
• +2 racial bonus on all saving throws.
• +2 racial bonus on Hide checks (or +4 while underground in the dark).
• Add Undercommon as an automatic language.

I'd never fully read that list. No wonder those things are LA +3. +5 to AC just for taking the race... (+1 size, +4 dodge).

 

[shaff]

(I adjusted the list to read sorcerer rather than wizard, based on the Gnomes' change to Cha-based saves for their standard spell-like abilities.)

Notably, they are, like drow and duergar, almost invariably evil.

Actually, it's not sure if svirfneblins change to cha-based stuff. With -4 to cha it might not be a very good idea (which is why I rule that they still use Int for now). And they are not evil. More like neutral. And they make damn fine monk/wizards...



And Snowtiger: The Level adjustment of +3 means that the character has to start at that 3 levels lower than others. Which would mean level 3 in this game. Just making sure you know it before making a character. Svirfneblin are underground version of gnomes. Gray skin, gray eyes, gray hair (males bald), withdrawn and suspicious.



shaff: Toad now gives the Toughness feat instead of +2 constitution. And knowing the alignment would be nice. Spells known and spells prepared would help too...



Edit: Seven characters (mostly) ready. One or two cohorts probably coming, and about four familiars. Calim and Snowtiger undecided, haven't heard of Jaik since the start.


Jarval: The scry skill has been REMOVED. It no longer exists.

Hrm. Point and point. Though most surface-dwellers would *think* the svirfneblin are evil or nearly-evil, just by virtue of dwelling int he Underdark...

Suspicious little creatures though. Not your standard practical-joker light-hearted gnome, no sir.


OK, edited Serei's profile, added languages and a few hundred words of background. Yes, Serei is a storyteller. But she knows a lot of them, so you'll never get bored.

Edit: Oh, yes, and decided to go ahead and take Leadership. No cohort yet. How could she? She *just got* to level 6 and took the feat

 

[Calim]

ok I just looked at the DMG and found that if I were to play Shaff's cohort I would be half yalls level (6+1(char)-2(familiar)=5= 3rd level) so I think I will pass on the cohort if it all the same to you and when yall need a backup character I will gladly help out
