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

[Rystil Arden]

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.

Yup, I can do that. The Plebs aren't the only constructs, exactly. Plebs are a PC race that look like humans but actually aren't. The Praetorian warmages also have mindless constructs too, including one personal one that they get as a class feature instead of a familiar. And I can cover at least some of the weapons and armour (that I remember, since I don't have the list with me). Suffice it to say that the Praetorians like to use spears, but they don't like the sucky stats for spears in the PH, so they've invented Praetorian War Lances and Praetorian Battle Lances...they also can make really-nice versions of normal weapons and armour, but those are very expensive. Fortunately, some Praetorians are quite rich compared to other places (it depends on their social class, but I'll get to that when I have the time to fully explain--for now, sleep for me )

Mindread much.

Funny you should mention that, but I am "Rystil Arden, Eidolon Telepath" and I do have this mystical All-Seeing-Eye avatar

Nymphs get Seelie for free (but not the similar D&D Sylvan, which does exist).

Cool, is common still common or did you rename it?

Also on the list which languages are the most.. well common? I don't think my character's been to many, if any, exotic locations.

Also which best help with the “back-story” too?”

There is no Common, and there is also no common language that everyone gets for free. The Dolathi would like people to think that Eldish is the lingua franca, and its passingly common for people to learn it as such. Also, you might have picked up a language from the back-story suggested offworlder and/or the rebel Amaranthian factions. I'd guess that Naiads might also know Aquan

Well that really nerfs the Siren doesn't it...? A charmed victim needs to be able to understand you.

So what lnagauge do the players all have in common?

Eldish, okay. What else is common? My character is going to be a little pointless if she can't make someone understand her. (So back-story importance is going out the door.)

Actually, only Suggestion is Language Dependent. Albeit, its true that Charm is better when you can speak their language. Pretty much everything with 12 Int or more picks up Eldish though, so it shouldn't be a problem. Also, there's some people you could see about "Communicators"

Till I ned to use it...

That sounds rather Star Trekish... Not sure if that's a good thing or not but if she can't find one on her home world than its going to be a long time before she can afford one.

Well the key is that Sirens get Tongues as a 2nd-level spell. This means, among other things, that you can cast it at level 4, and that the cost for a translator on Amaranthia is 1200 gold.

 

[Thanee]

Just learn Tongues later.

Bye

Can we play level four characters? Cause...

Is more money than I have...
