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

[Rystil Arden]

Seelie is the language of Seelyne, and it is the racial tongue of the Sidhe. Not caring too much for such things, Nymphs speak that instead of inventing their own language, although they also like to express themselves with their bodies. Nymphs get Seelie for free (but not the similar D&D Sylvan, which does exist). You can learn from some of the normal D&D list of languages on Speak Language where appropriate, and also these, from a previous post (Vaerysh and Conacan are the other two from Amaranthia, by the way, but they are spoken by those not quite friendly with Seelyne):

Altanian = language of Altania
Larakese = language of Lara Kai
Larakese Handspeak = secretive silent language of Ninja (only Ninja and Dolathi can learn this as a Bonus Language)
Rowaini = language of Rowain
Melodian = language spoken by the Melodians of Rhapsodia
Harmonian = language spoken by the Harmonians of Rhapsodia
Eldish = language of Eldiz, Wildspace Metropolis of the Dolathi
Yharzu = language of the Lacerta and official language of Yharaz, in Chuliit
Feldori = language of the Feldori race in Chuliit
Narlse = language of the Narslemen
Nibelangan = language of the Nibelan
Tralg = language of the Tralg
Valsian = official language of Valthas
Mojiin = cultural language of the Mojiin
Seelie = language of Titania's kingdom of Seelyne
Vaerysh = language of the Amaranthian rebels of Vaerysa
Conasan = language of the Conacian Amazons
High Praetorian = language of the nobles of Praetorianus
Vulgar Praetorian = language of the masses of Praetorianus
Sancyric = language of the sacred texts of Circe, but not spoken much except to pray
Putal = official language of Putalis
Vildri = cultural language of the Vildri
Byblan = languages of Byblans

Well we currently have 7 players and 6 spots, so you'd be #8. You can definitely roll some stats, although I don't have the Warmage fully fleshed out online yet (and since tomorrow is the day at the end of the semester when all my stuff is due, I won't be able to put it up until the weekend). Check out the Houserules thread (see the first post) for what I have up so far I can definitely get into some of the basics of the Warmage for you too:

Praetorian Warmages are well-trained combatants and arcane spellcasters, rolled into one. They are the undisputed masters throughout all the Known Spheres of the arts of crafting Constructs and Magic Weapons and Armour, and they are often accompanied by a construct of their own making, which they are constantly tweaking to suit their needs. They can rough it up in melee with the best of them, while supporting themselves and their allies with magical enhancements and attacks. Combined with Templars and Centurions, they form the core of Praetorianus's undefeated Grand Army.

Sounds just like the character I was looking for, the construct speciality is a little extra bonus I wasn't expecting. Always good to be on a winning team.

No problem with waiting for the Praetor or War Mage until the weekend, I'm a very patient man.

Here's the d20 roll under the name of Praetor War Mage (trust me to waste an 18 on a test roll ): http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=82422

Rolled my stats as well (guess I'll have to drop the 7 as they're just not bad enough for a reroll, I hope the Warmage has a dump stat , all 7 numbers odd...go figure): http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=82427

Haven't given him a name yet but I'm assuming a roman flavour like Aurelius Maximus is in order.

Well the point buy on the stats isn't that bad, its just the all-odd thing that probably hurts a bit. At least a lot of great places to put that stat raise

 

[unleashed]

The point buy is good at 38, but then I'd almost never buy a 17...unless I had so many points I had no choice.

That's right, a different stat every time. I'll need to become epic before I can make them all even...odd stats are just so annoying and unattractive.

Hmm...well at odd stats are sometimes good for buying feats, and Warmages do get plenty of feats (something like 16 bonus feats)

 

[unleashed]

Hadn't thought about the odd stat requirements for feats, good point. Odd stats looking much better.

Heehee, I try to be an optimist whenever possible

I also may not have mentioned it anywhere, but one of the greatest Praetorian Warmage actually created the Plebs, which he considered his ultimate, perfect creation, and even his children. Plebs are a race of free-willed constructs that seem to be human until you slash at them and discover that they don't have blood and vitals. The Plebs were created to be dumb (but only dumb compared to the Praetorians, the Praetorians are really smart, so Plebs just have no Int bonus; everything is relative: 10 Int is average for a human, but it is considered mentally retarded for a Praetorian).

 

[unleashed]

When you get to the Praetor and Warmage, could you also please cover the basics of Praetorian armour and weapons and the constructs (they're the Plebs right?) if it's not too much trouble.

Mindread much.

Oh, and just so everbody knows:

I know I've been pretty slow in responding to you guys for the past week or so, but that's because this past week has been the last week when the classes can assign us things if they have a final, so I had, for instance, one evil class that assigned a big Problem Set *and* a Project that were both due today. Fortunately, as of 20 minutes ago, I have officially finished everything. All that's left is a test this afternoon in a class with no final, which if I get over 50% I automatically get an 'A' in the associated course (if I get below 50%, I might actually have to the assignment due next week for that class--otherwise, I can just ignore it and still get an 'A'--the perks of having nearly 100% in the class, I suppose).

After that, I should be able to pay more attention here than I have been before. Sorry if anyone has had to wait too long for responses and such. Since all the characters are at least preliminarily done, I'll be putting up the IC Thread shortly.

Peace!
