CB's City of the Spider Queen v3.5 OOC

[Guest 11456]

While I'm thinking about it, here are the answers to your previously asked questions:

[sblock]

1. Ardyth studied at the Temple of Waukeen in the small city of Wheloon (see FRCS page 113 for details on Wheloon) in Cormyr under the patronage of a cousin by marriage to the Lady Lord of Cormyr. I will leave it to you to come up with the name of the cousin.

Keldain Stormwagon.

2. I would like the names of the adventurers with whom Ardyth traveled those eight years before splitting off on her own for the Underdark.

The main group was:
Turon Gorynn, Male Gold Dwarf Fighter
Aust Liadon, Male Moon Elf Rogue
Jillian Tealeaf, Female Lightfoot Halfling Monk
Rynar Highridge, Male Aasimar Cleric of Torm
Vola Brokenhedge, Female Half-Orc Sorcerer
A number of others drifted in and out. Mostly human males, but Ardyth always felt uncomfortable around them and they would be asked to move on by the group.

The group that she spent over a year with in the underdark was:
Caullum Lowweb, Male Chitine Rogue
Murgoth Darkhand, Male Duergar Fighter
Ploosh Rocklight, Female Slyth Druid
Pliil Seahunter, Female Kuo-Toan Monitor (Monk)
Tunnel Runner, Male Grimlock Barbarian

3. I would also like you to flesh out the names and locations in Ardyth's background. If you don't want to do this task or can't, let me know and I can do it.

I think I’ll let you do this one.

4. I would like to know what Ardyth's parents promised the patron in return for the debt forgiveness and stipend they received.

They promised to give custody of their daughter to him.

5. Spellcasting Prodigy from the FRCS is not a problem, but I'm sorry I won't be allowing the Mind Over Body feat. It's just a little too good. Please pick a feat to replace Mind Over Body. The rest of the feat list looks absolutely fine.

Current Feat list:

Feats
Alertness (familiar bonus)
Spellcasting Prodigy (human bonus)
Eschew Materials (1st level)
Scribe Scroll (wizard bonus)
Craft Wondrous Item (3rd level)
Spell Mastery : Magic Missile, Scorching Ray, Fireball, Lightning Bolt (5th level bonus)
Magical Artisan : Wondrous Items (6th level)
Signature Spell : Magic Missile (9th level)
Extend Spell (10th level bonus)

6. You've only spent 84 of Ardyth's 94 skill points. Please let me know how you want to allocate the remaining 10 points.

Ardyth didn’t hit 20 Intelligence until level 8. Thus less skill points.

7. Ardyth's touch AC is 12. Her flat-footed AC is 15.

OK.

8. Ardyth gets four 4th-level spells per day. She currently has 5 prepared, which is one too many.

The Spellcasting Prodigy feat makes her effective Intelligence bonus +8 for bonus spells and thus she gets +2 4th-level spells per day.

9. Ardyth has the following for HP per level (constitution modifier inclusive): 5, 3, 4, 2, 3, 5, 3, 2, 4, and 4. Ardyth therefore has a total of 35 HP.

OK. That means Eek has 17 then.

10. Eek, Ardyth's bat familiar, needs a skill list. Right now it looks like somehow Ardyth's skill set got copied and pasted into the familiar stats. Eek has 17 HP, a touch AC of 16, and flat-footed AC of 19.

If you look at the description of skills for a familiar, they get their masters skills or their skills, which ever are better on a case by case basis.

11. I calculate that Ardyth has spent 48904 gp, which is right on the money in terms of what you have listed on the sheet. I calculate that Ardyth has used up 2856 XP in item creation...again, my total exactly matches your total. I calculate that Ardyth is currently 9 lbs encumbered.

Those numbers have changed:

12. From her time at the Temple of Waukeen, Ardyth was able to copy spells from a lower-level student at a cost of 30 gp per page. The student was male and had a weakness for Ardyth's overdeveloped body. She may therefore have copied any of the following spells, provided she paid:

1st-level: Protection from evil, grease, mount, identify, tenser's floating disk, color spray, disguise self, feather fall, expeditious retreat, ray of enfeeblement.

2nd-level: Glitterdust, protection from arrows, rope trick, spider climb.

3rd-level: Dispel magic, hold person, gaseous form, water breathing.

Scribing all 10 1st level, 4 2nd level, and 4 3rd level spells.
900 gp total

13. For being a 10-level wizard with 8 years of adventuring under her belt, Ardyth may select from the following list of spells, provided she pays the 100-gp cost to scribe the spells into her spellbook:

1st-level (May select up to 4 of these 5): Jump, obscuring mist, detect secret doors, detect undead, hold portal.

2nd-level (May select up to 3 of these 5): Knock, mirror image, see invisibility, scorching ray, alter self.

3rd-level (May select up to 2 of these 3): Haste, slow, protection from energy.

4th-level (May select up to 2 of these 3): Enervation, polymorph, remove curse.

5th-level (May select up to 2 of these 3): Nightmare, teleport, passwall.

Good deal, thanks.

Whoops. I found Blite on there and saw that I'd got the right charge damage and bought a Travellers outfit, I didn't think I'd updated the OOC pages as well. I guess I don't have the RG then. Not having much luck finding the IC threads either.

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Email is sent.

It could just be taking a few minutes to go through, but I haven't received anything yet in either my inbox or junkmail folder. I'll keep checking.

 

[Guest 11456]

I sent you everything that I had found so far. The RG thread, page 1 & 4 and part of page 2 of the OOC thread and a bit of the IC thread.

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Just got it, thanks. 400 XP awarded to Ardyth for recovery of CotSQ Rogues Gallery and CotSQ IC page 1. Am also considering tacking on smaller XP bonus for page two of the OOC thread. MAHALO!

 

[Scotley]

Great work pulling this one back together. Sorry I wasn't more help, but I am here and ready to continue. I don't have the most current version of Lyssa, do we have a link the RG?

 

[CanadienneBacon]

I can send you Lyssa late tonight via e-mail. I'm also currently waiting a day or two to see if the admin can restore the database as of 8 May...there was word in Meta that they were going to try. In all likelihood, we are looking at a Monday re-start. If the database is restored before the weekend, I can get it going earlier, but I do still intend to take the weekend off. For anyone wondering why I'm taking the weekend off...well...I have two weeks left with my husband before he heads back out to sea for the rest of the summer. He take priority over the game, sorry. If he weren't here, I'd be willing to spend my weekend working to get the game back online.

No sweat. Family first.
