Something to help with background...

Prof Lorrimor is a "know thy enemy, study his ways and turn them against them if you can" type of guy. I was going to let everyone know a few facts here and now to help them with their backgrounds.

Facts to help:
- When you reach Ravengro Lorrimor will have been dead for a short seventeen days (so your character should be somewhere nearby or in the country) - Prof just moved to Ravengro 5-6 months before adventure starts.
- Starting about ten years ago (from year adventure starts dates unimportant for now) Lorrimor was interested in a cult know as The Whispering Way and sought to learn as much as he could about them over the years (Your PCs could have been part of this)
- Your association with the Professor could be on going and you may just have been on some new mission or holiday.
- The Professor taught at the Lepidstadt University before retiring to Ravengro.
- Adventure starts at the cemetery the day the Professor is to be buried. PCs just arriving in time to help with the service.

That's what I have for now more info as I get it.

[/sblock]
[sblock=Background]
As a teenager, both of Valanar's parents were killed when a terrible disease swept through their neighborhood. His parents entrusted the boy to the temple, and after showing devout faith, and some martial talent, he began to train to be a paladin in service of Abadar.

As the sole remaining paladin based out of the temple of Abadar in the city of Eranmas, nation of Molthune, the temple places alot of trust and respect in me.

One of the clerics had a dream where he saw The Lawgiver embarking from our own temple in Eranmas and setting forth for the lands of Ustalav. In this dream The Lawgiver was wearing an ornate set of half-plate. As he journeyed, hands clawed at him from the ground, scratching and scraping the armor but it continued to gleam with not a scratch on it. He saw this dream as a miracle and commissioned a suit of half-plate to be hung in the temple as a holy symbol and reminder of Abadar's blessing and protection.

Some time, later, I received this summon to Ustalav for the professor's funeral, and the temple thinks that these two events must be connected. The dream of The Lawgiver in gleaming armor, was foretelling my summons, and it is only appropriate that the temple bless this newly commissioned armor and bestow it upon me to the dangerous, utterly chaotic, and uncivilized nation of Ustalav.

Couple things Cyan:

1) You said you wanted to take cleric lvls - your WIS is 11 and you will only be able to cast up to first lvl spells (but really the channeling is unaffected and will be used more). Maybe a switch with one of your 13 stats

2) Have you looked at Divine Defender in the APG? I think this arch-type would fit your character concept very well.

HM

 

[Cyansylph]

I had given more thought to the sacred servant archtype, but I will take a look at Defender. The low WIS wouldn't be good for sacred servant.

I'm fine with only casting lvl 1 cleric spells. Longstrider ks pretty cool. Might multi 1 level into fighterr as well for tower shield proficiency.

[MENTION=84167]HolyMan[/MENTION] - done editing my character; made the revisions you needed and added skills. Ready to go!!

I'm checking characters right now, Did you take the archtype I see your character bonding to his armor a lot more than his weapon.

Checking Bella...

- Have a couple question about Ven don't know where to start.

Ok that's all I see great first arcane caster. Oh btw the first adventure states that at a minimum you will be spending one month in Ravengro. So if you wish to change your hex you may (or take cauldron at 2nd lvl).

HM

 

[HolyMan]

Looks good but it seems I missed that you are down a starting language and I wanted everyone to know that the following two are available and probably be good for at least one character to have.

Skald and Varisian

HM

 

[Cyansylph]

I have a few questions regarding the archtypes:
1. Does it have to be selected at level 1; if there are no effects until level 3 or 4 can you use the archtype then?
2. Sacred Servant - At level 4, when the paladin selects a domain, does he also receive the domain powers equivalent to his caster level (paladin -3)
3. Sacred Servant - what kind of tasks can a planar ally perform? Is fight with me and my allies for 1-2 minutes unreasonable?
4. Can multiple archtypes be taken if the features they replace do not overlap at all: e.g. Divine defender replaces Mercy and Divine Bond. Hospitaller replaces Smite Evil, Channel Positive Energy, and Aura of Justice.

 

[Fangor the Fierce]

HM - Yeah, there was a line where you would use DEX for CMB.

Special Size Modifier

Creatures that are size Tiny or smaller use their Dexterity modifier in place of their Strength modifier to determine their CMB. The special size modifier for a creature's Combat Maneuver Bonus is as follows: Fine –8, Diminutive –4, Tiny –2, Small –1, Medium +0, Large +1, Huge +2, Gargantuan +4, Colossal +8. Some feats and abilities grant a bonus to your CMB when performing specific maneuvers.


Candles - my mistake, somehow I wrote wrong entry. Will fix.


Skills, I wasn't figuring on putting them all there, but I can oblige.


Changes made - was hoping you wouldn't have to bring out the red pen!

We are almost ready IC may be up before the week is over.
