(CSRHoD) CS's Red Hand of Doom [OOC]

[Pinotage]

What time of day is it now? I was under the impression it was late afternoon/evening. How long until it's dark?

Pinotage

 

[Creamsteak]

It's already getting dark. Total travel time from Vraath + detour puts you at 6 hours traveled, plus warrens side trek, which counting the extra rest the group took in the morning puts you at around 6 pm.

 

[Redclaw]

So we're now able to fully level up, or are we still waiting for a day fully out of combat?

 

[Creamsteak]

Fully level up.

 

[Redclaw]

Coolness.
I'm mostly done with that, but I wanted to run something by you. How would you feel about Larian taking Arcane Thesis (PHB II) as his 6th level feat? In case you don't have access, it would let him pick a single spell (probably fireball, but I'm not sure yet). For that spell, he adds +2 to his caster level, and metamagic abilities on the spell increase its spell level by one less than usual.

 

[Creamsteak]

I'll allow it if you intend to take it.

 

[Redclaw]

I think he will. He doesn't pack a big punch usually, so adding the extra 2d6 is nice, and when I can empower it as only a 4th level spell it'll be even more fun.

 

[Creamsteak]

I'm primarily allowing it because a player in my home game intends to take it at 5th or 6th level, and so I'm going to have to learn to cope with gigantic fireballs somewhere.

 

[Dalamar]

Now I'm stuck pondering between taking the Martial Weapon Proficiency for the bow anyway, as it would prove extremely useful against the dragon, and taking Extra Smite or a similar feat.

Are Fell the Greatest Foe and Downdraft (from Spell Compendium) allowable spells?

 

[Creamsteak]

No on downdraft. I'll allow Fell the Greatest Foe, but the material component must be gathered (which would require killing a giant or dragon essentially).
