Call to the Four Lands

[Pyrex]

My apologies for just dissappearing for a week; last week I moved to a new house and it caused significantly more upheaval than I expected. :/

Anyhow, I'm back and will be posting soon.

Anyhow, I'm back and will be posting soon.

WB Bro! Wasn't the same without you.

 

[Rhun]

It makes no sense that a cleric of lawyful good alignement could not exorcise or turn a devil or demon...especially in this world so if you are a cleric of the church of light you can turn devils and demons as if they were undead. I will work out some rules for their turning but I think they will use the hit dice and get a small bonus to their turning difficulty depending on the nature of the beastie.

That will come in handy for Vadric in the Great North campaign!

 

[Scotley]

Yeah, I'm sure Vadric will need it sooner rather than later. I was initially excited about the idea for Alban's sake and then made the realization that I really don't want a character of his level to have to face demons any time soon. Neurotic, do us all a favor and don't give the DM ideas!

 

[Neurotic]

Yeah, I can't find it either

I know the rule, it says that it's contest of personality with the demon, not standard turning as it says with knight of chalice thus making it more likely to turn one powerful demon then group of, say, dretches.

BUT, I cannot find it...I will given enough time, but obviously I mixed up variant turning (positive energy burst) with this.

As for giving JA ideas, I didn't notice any lack of demons in Great North and I joined only recently Besides, Andor has to have something to use his weapons on...

Ahm, JA, close your eyes and don't read last sentence

What terrible Dretch/Babau/Vrock would dare to challenge party of 8?

 

[Neurotic]

Found it !

It's in Unearthed Arcana: Class Feature Variants (page 65)

There is also link on d20

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

I've got a sick child, so other than the time we're out to her doctor's appointment I'll be home all day and should be able to keep up with posting pretty well (she'll likely sleep/lay on the couch watching movies or looking at books most of the day). A rare opportunity caused by an unfortunate occurrence.

 

[Scotley]

A humble suggestion

I don't think we ever finished our discussion of marching order. Here are my suggestions based on the thoughts posted. I didn't find a post from Pyrex for Aidan. This first is for standard riding about the wilderness with Ewan and Katherine often scouting ahead or off to the flanks.

Front

Nijel (Leif)................(Rhun) Roak
(Scotley) Alban.............Padraig (Redclaw)
(Pyrex) Aidan.................Andor (Neurotic)
(Dracomeander) Ewan......Katherine (Mowgli)


For a dungeon environment or anytime we want sneaky front men persons:

(Dracomeander) Ewan....Katherine (Mowgli)
20-30' out in front

Nijel (Leif).....(Rhun) Roak
........Padraig (Redclaw)
(Pyrex) Aidan.......Andor (Neurotic)
..........(Scotley) Alban

Single file

Roak
Nijel
Padraig
Kathrine
Andor
Aidan
Ewan
Alban

Skirmish line/all abreast

Ewan, Aidan Alban, Roak, Nijel, Padraig, Andor and Kathrine

Charge (which seems to be our standard approach...)

..........................Nijel.....Roak
........Alban......Aidan..........Andor......Padraig
Ewan....................................................Kathrine


Much as I hate it, Alban is the logical choice for rear-guard when there is reason for one, though it won't make optimal use of his auras. The benefits of the aura's just don't justify putting the most heavily armored character in the middle and he does have some ranged ability. Comments? Suggestions? Once we settle on an arrangement I'll post it in the RG for easy reference. Any other situations we should plan for?

 

[Leif]

Nijel Bladesong

A few corrections, Alban: Nijel is to Roak's left, and Aidan stated before that he was just behind and to the outside of Nijel.

Otherwise, it looks good to me.

 

[Scotley]

Okay, I made Leif's requested changes. Any others?
