Demon Hunters of Karameikos (Closed)

[driver8]

PC Check UP #1

heres what I have so far:

Wilphe: Im going to wait till you update and put in equipment.

Manzanita: I know yours is still a work in progress, so likewise Ill wait. Your ability scores seem off, but it refers to magic items you havent put in yet.

Zerth: Just about everything looks ok with Janos. I appreciate the familiar stats btw. Your equipment seems to cost more than the 16000 limit, though. I calculate you at 16400 and change (counting familiar). Im counting the belt of health as costing 4000 gp ( ability bonus squared x 1000). Let me know if my math is off.

Thanks

I double-checked and you're right, looks like I have overspent a little. Totally forgot about familiar summoning cost. The total sum I got was still only about 16,200. I scrapped off two scrolls to set things right (Tasha's & see invisibility = 300gp).

2,530 - Greatsword (silvered +1)
2,100 - Mithral shirt +1
4,000 - Cloak
4,000 - Belt
2,000 - Amulet
750 - Wand
200 - 2 x oil
100 - 4 x lvl 1 scroll
50 - 2 x holy water
50 - healer's kit
10 - 5 x sunrod
100 - familiar
the rest - about 5gp

Total: 15,895gp

Let me know if there are still errors or I have forgotten something.

Edit: Finally everything should be right...

Character's not far off now, he's still human but he's going to be a wizard.

Since we are summoned for demon hunting, I think I will alter Solomon's background slightly, making demon summoning a hobby of his late mentor in the Green ronin's, thus making it natural for Solomon to carry some silvered weapons, have outsiders has his favored enemy, and be invited to join this group in the first place. As long as this whole strategy makes sense to the DM. I think it would be nice to give him a sense of purpose, which is being fullfilled by the campaign itself.

Should have mine up Friday. Still planning to be a Callari Druid. sorry for the wait.

Hey, Manzanita, go for cold iron if you want your character to be specialized against demons. Silver works only on weak vampires, lycanthropes and devils.

Good advice, thank you Zerth. I've never actually fought a demon since 1E. Solomon might make a poor demon hunter since he won't know any more than I will. How do you buy a cold iron weapon?

My daily bump:

I appreciate everyone checking in. I tend to have abandonment issues about PbP games

I also appreciate your quandry regarding equipment. I didnt make it much easier since I put Demon Hunters in the title. And making Pcs above 1 st level for a specific game makes it hard to avoid meta-game stuff in creation.

I guess a way to look at it is like this: Karameikos is sort of like a legendary Transylvania. Many supernatural monsters of legend exist and many may just be old wives tales. But different areas can have traditions of weapons and warfare; as a result people may carry certain weapons or items "just in case".

Also if you wish you can keep some gp in reserve and buy stuff once we get going. Since your working for the authorities and Rugalov is a trading town you can most likely find equipment you need. Conversely you could most likely purchase a special item on "credit" with the authoritie (within reason-no vorpal swords or orbs of destruction).

I dont know if u have the DMG-the info is on pg 284.

Cold weapons cost twice a much as normal weapons. Any enchanements on them cost an additional 2000 gp. To use the example from the DMG, a +2 cold iron longsword would cost 10,330. 330 gp for the masterwork sword, 8000 for the +2 enhancement, and 2000 for enhancing a cold iron weapon.

So it can get pricey.

Cold iron weapons cost double the normal price (double only the basic price not mw. price or the cost for magical enchantment). They are not automatically masterwork like adamantine and mithral so no need to pay for mw. if you don't want to. Enchanting cold iron weapons costs +2,000gp so unfortunately it means with the 4,000 per item limit, that we cannot afford magical cold iron weapons (2,000gp for +1 enchantment + mw. price + double cost for base weapon +2,000gp for enchanting cold iron = always more than 4,000gp). But a mw. cold iron weapon or ammunition would do well.

Edit: Again I'm slow
