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

What are equipment prices like on Arris?

I have some gold to spend on equipment (now that I have purchased my breastplate) and don't know how to

Everything costs the normal price, but you can't necessarily find all the items in the PH and DMG. Specifically, many of the magic items are rare or more expensive.

FreeXenon,

Would it bother you if Mhrazhar D'el and Abdiel Lyanthra knew each other?

It may explain how two Mojiin happen to be in Eldiz.

What do you think?

Sounds cool! I also have a few things to purchase as well.
It makes perfect sense that an Ecomancer and an Avenger would be working together.
I am still an alternate as I will be on vaction for 2 weeks starting Saturday until the 15th and will not have internet access during this time.

You can email me directly if you like: freexenon at gmail dot com.

or you can wait until things are definite. It fair to ensure that everyone that is a primary be given the chance to respond and become a part of a wonderful game. I am patient

Eonthar is actually a Preserver. Other than that, it is true that Preservers and Avengers will sometimes work together. In many ways, they have the same goals, even though they rarely see eye-to-eye in how to pursue said goals. The Preservers see the Avengers as excessively violent, whereas the Avengers see the Preservers as unrealistically pacficistic and thus doomed to failure.

From my last few posts it makes you wonder if I actually read the posts!
I apologize!
It would make for an interesting relationship that is for sure!

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

She has a family, except that she was raised by her parents with their attempt to corrupt her soul (they are evil), however she didn't want any part of their heritage. Her father beat her on multiple occasions, and one day ain her midteens she snapped. She killed him outright in self defense. Her mother then told her that her wild heart was no longer welcome under her roof. Saylee smiled when her mother said 'wild heart'. It stuck with her and she adopted it as she struck out on her own.

If I understand correctly the characters start off at 2nd level. I'm a little confused about the ecomancer's spell list, does she get to choose from any spell on both the druid and the wizards spell lists? Also, I was wondering, may I peruse the feats from Races of the Wild?

By any chance does the Rowaini dueling saber count as a light weapon? If it does, I'll do the exotic feat for it, otherwise I'll stick with rapier. And the blade was forged by Brother William, the greatest pirate in the history of the seas of Rowaini and has been passed from pirate to pirate since then, usually covered with the blood of it's previous owner. I'll be spending the xp on making it a legendary item of course. The swashbuckler canny defense bonus says "no armor" Would that work like a mages "no armor" from 2nd ED or are there such things as specially woven silks that work like chain? Are the feats listed on the character progression all the feats or is there a possible "free" 1st level bonus feat? Any particular swashbuckler weapons that aren't listed in the SRD like parrying daggers, weapon breakers, etc? Oh, and I'll be getting the Eldiz citizinship, for my own protection, plus looking for work on a spell jamming vessel. Have to learn how the work so I can get one of my own.

Hmm...you know, your history sounds like an awesome history for a Valsian Ecomancer more than a Mojiin. Valsians are like the Ecomancer in the little blurb on the Encyclopaedia thread. I say this because Valsians are more likely to evil and corrupted, and also because Mojiin don't have parents (check out the links in FreeXenon's RG entry at the bottom; they lead to a lot of my posts on the matter)

For the spell list, you get to pick from both the list of all the PH Druid spells or else any arcane spells you have in your staff (which you can learn like a wizard).

Yup, 2nd-level is correct. You get 2000 XP. As for Races of the Wild material, some of it is quite unbalanced, but other things are pretty cool, so you can take a look at it and vet any feat that catches your eye past me.

OK, the Rowaini Dueling Sabre is not a light weapon. However, the Rowaini Dueling Cutlass is an exotic weapon that is identical to a rapier except that it weighs an incredibly small amount and is a light weapon.

History of the blade sounds cool!

Armour restrictions are like the monk armour restriction. You can still get one of your arcane buddies (there are 3 of them) to cast Mage Armour, or buy silks with no base armour bonus but magic armour enhancements (or Bracers of Armour of course). Just like a monk

The feats there are all your class bonus feats. You still get your feat that every first level character gets, and your feats at every third level.

I know you read the posts because you have all those nice links in your RG entry. See how I pimped it above?

Would it be possible to have two legendary weapons, one made by me? Or are you limited to one item at a time?
