Destiny's Tears OOC Thread- Prologue: A Jewel in the Shadow

[Rystil Arden]

Thanks for the RG post Fru. Just wondering about your character: Does she not have a family or are they all dead? Perhaps because they don't have birth parents of any sort, most Mojiin find ties of family between them to be very important (the families aren't overly complicated, either, as they are not biologically rooted. Mojiin are either Gharys, Vialn, or Eralsh, meaning "Little Sister" , "Sister" , and "Elder Sister"). That your character goes by a personal epithet, "Wildheart" , instead of a family name seems to imply either a rebellious independence or a lonely attempt at self-actualisation, having no family. If that's your intenion, then that's absolutely cool with me. I just wanted you to know in case you didn't know about Mojiin culture and didn't intend that

Actually, thinking about it more. That name sounds very Amaranthian. Maybe Saylee was raised there?

 

[FreeXenon]

I'm still frothing to play. I get some leg work done on the character just in case.
It seems that our Avenger is a Ranger/Paladin combo, very cool!

It the description it says that
"Spellcasting: A Preserver casts divine spells from the Druid spell list as a Druid does."
I am assuming that you meant to delete this?

Armor and weapon proficiencies? I am assuming all weapons and all armors? Or must the Avenger stick to light armor? Medium armor?

Oops, consider the offending line deleted. Would you believe that I just copy off of other charts?

Full proficiency and no restrictions!

Ah yes, a Ranger/Paladin with a twist and no spellcasting. I'm rather proud of coming up with all the required special abilities to balance that out, although some were just yoinked from the original classes, of course.

Here I quote you saying

The claw is normally a secondary attack. However, you can also treat it as a second weapon and make iterative attacks if you have the proper feats (Rapidstrike and Improved Rapidstrike from the Draconomicon, which can only be taken by dragons and a few other things and give multiple claw attacks).

and in the Racial description it says:

Natural Attacks: In their humanoid form, Mojiin can attack with their two claws (primary) and bite (secondary), dealing 1d6, 1d6, and 1d8 damage, respectively. When in quadrapedal form, they can attack with two claws (primary), bite (secondary), and tail slap (secondary), dealing 1d8, 1d8, 2d6 and 1d10, respectively.

Should we assume the racial description will take precedence?

No. This time, very rarely, I didn't make a mistake. The claw is normally primary, but it becomes secondary if you wield a one-handed weapon and hope to make a claw attack with the other hand. I can see how taking it out of context confused you though

Gotcha!

Could I have some history of Arris and the Drogon Lords. I am thinking of having my character start there. Maybe a little more of the Avengers, Preservers, Dragon Lords?

Mojiin Names and culture...

Sure! There's currently some tidbits scattered about the threads (recently, there's that one I wrote for Fru just a bit above). I'll get something more comprehensive for you in a bit.

I have gathered a lot of the posts that have been scattered about.

The true form of a Mojiin is its Dragon form. Will I be corrrect to state my type as
Large Dragon (Shapeshifter) since they are as long as they are tall taking up more than a 5' square in combat

DD
DD

or does the tail length not really taken into account?

Since the humanoid form is medium size you have the claw, claw, bite damage appropriate to medium size d6/d6/d8 and when in dragon form it is one size larger d8/d8/2d6?

Nope, the Dragon form is still size Medium. The Mojiin dragon form just has an unusually long tail (which is why it can make tail slaps even though most Medium dragons cannot), and it does barely bleed over a five foot square, but its still Medium.
