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

[Rystil Arden]

Okay,

Stats are rolled and here's the Link

Keia

OK Keia, you're legit! Sorry for the suspicion and stuff; I'm usually a really trusting guy until I find out I've been hoodwinked

 

[Rystil Arden]

No worries. Didn't have a lot to say that couldn't be typed again with little effort

Keep up the good work and prompt service !!

Keia

Yeah, couldn't have asked for a prompter moderator action; I mean, I posted for a moderator to move the "unbalanced powers in the XPH" thread from General to Rules like two days ago and still nothing.

 

[Thanee]

Yep, armor isn't really the most useful item type.

Maybe just make a suggestion or two, what might be useful (from the items not found in the books), especially from the Rowaini culture.

Otherwise, I just take a look at really cheap magic items (like travel cloak or handy haversack) and normal stuff, all for double cost, yes?

Bye
Thanee

Hmm...Rowaini stuff is usually high-craftmanship work using special materials, and unfortunately, in D&D those sorts of things only tend to have visible benefits in weapons and armour. The Rowaini look askance at enhancing their items with item creation feats because they believe that a lovingly crafted item wielded by a great hero will eventually gain power through the hero's adventures, and indeed, Rowaini will find just this will occur as a racial feature. So if you don't need weapons or armour, and you do want something from your mother, I suggest maybe some kind of locket or such made by your mother from Rowaini Heartstone, a material which imprints the emotions and feelings of the crafter while she is crafting it onto itself (pick a price somewhere from 150-1500 gp depending on the size and quality of the item, as you desire )

Oh and yes, the normal stuff is at double price. The city is expensive!

 

[Keia]

Okay, I've decided.

Dropping the 9, going with Altanian Arcanist

Okey Dokey then! It may be helpful to you that the sample character I put up on the Rogue's Gallery is also an Altanian Arcanist (my iconic Arcanist Alyria from the Encyclopaedia thread), so you can use her for ideas or something, I guess (for one thing, you probably wouldn't know that the Altanian Prodigy feat exists except that she took it)

 

[Eonthar]

Also, s'il vous plait, if you could first type out the name in this thread, as per Thanee's suggestion, and then submit it to me before rolling, that would be great (and hey, you might even do better than those last stats, eh?)

Name: Abdiel Lyanthra - Mojiin Preserver

I will await a confirmation before rolling stats.

A few questions about the Mojiin

Mojiin:
+4 STR -2 CON +4 WIS
Natural Attacks, Alternate Form, Energy Resistance, Breath Weapon, +2 to Balance, Ceremony of the Boundless Winds

Type- Dragon, reproduces through tapping into the Arrian life-force
Society- Independent family groups, sometimes oppressed by a cruel Dragonlord

Appearance- Mojiin are brightly-coloured wingless dragons which have the ability to shift between a bipedal humanoid dragon form and a quadrapedal draconic form.

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.

Alternate Form (Su): The Mojiin may switch between their quadrapedal and humanoid forms as a standard action. The Mojiin's "True Form" is the quadrapedal form.

Energy Resistance: Depending on the Mojiin's colour, the Mojiin has Energy Resistance 5 to either fire, cold, lightning, acid, or sonic. This energy type is always the same as that of the breath weapon. Mojiin colour's are not limited to those of Chromatic Dragons in the Monster Manual

Breath Weapon: The Mojiin's Breath Weapon is either a line of Electricity or Acid, or a Cone of Fire, Ice, or Sonic. It deals damage equal to 1d6 per two levels, rounded down, minimum of 1d6. The Mojiin can use this ability once per day.

Ceremony of the Boundless Winds: A Mojiin of at least 5 HD can enter the Ceremony of the Boundless Winds in place of gaining a new feat. The ceremony requires entering into meditation in an unspoiled mountain grove on Arris (not so easy to find with the Dragonlords despoiling nature). When the meditation is complete, the Mojiin sprouts wings, usable in both humanoid and quadrapedal form. Fly Speed is equal to the base speed in humanoid form, with Average manoeuvrability, and twice the base speed in quadrapedal form, with Poor manoeuvrability.

This is the text block that you entered in the last thread about Mojiin.

I have a few questions:

First of all, since they are of type Dragon, do they get Darkvision 60' and Low-light vision like other dragons? (MM 308)

Do they get natural armour? In humanoid or dragon-oid form?

What happens to my equipment when a Mojiin change shape? Does it get absorbed into the new form, mutate to fit the new form, or simply break/fall to the ground?

Also, what are their stat modifiers when they go into their dragon form? Also what is their Size, Movement rate ...

What color are the Mojiin's scales? Do they depend upon the breath weapon? If so, can they be chromatic or metallic (ie red, brass or gold for fire)?

What is the DC for the Breath Weapon?

Can I take the Multiattack feat (MM 304)?

If I attack with a weapon as well as a claw and a bite, is the claw considered a secondary attack, or do the rules for Two-Weapon Fighting take effect?

Questions regarding the Preserver:

Do they have the same weapon and armor restrictions as Druids?
Do they get a d10 hit points per level?
Do they get the starting weapon and armor proficiencies of both Druid and Paladin?

Thanks.

RA, I'm massively behind on character right now, I need to finish a spell list for one, my epic PC, I need a concept to two other people… *ugh* and it looks like the month, or so, I to get this done is quickly evaporating into nothingness…

I don’t want to drop this game but I’m not sure what else to do if this game is being ran NOW, and not now, or even then…

(PS you clicking the dice is as good as me... roll for me.)
