Deuce Traveler's Six Nights to Yearsend (Ptolus one-shot)

[Dekana]

Is that picture of Luna from Battlestar Gallactica or a different entertainer?

I was wondering about that for a second as well. I think it looks more like the actress in Legally Blonde, instead of Starbuck from BSG.

 

[bedford]

hm i don't think lycanthropes usualy have a regeneration ability. the the warshaper fast healing class ability would still work against silver weapon wounds wouldn't it?

 

[Lorthanoth]

It's Reese Witherspoon, indeed the actress from Legally Blonde... mmm Reese... ahem...

I hereby submit the following suggestions for the noble fellows of Team B aka "Ptolus natives" to peruse:

The Harriers

Order of the Undaunted

The Undaunted

The Seekers

The Company of the Bear (for obvious reasons)

The Oddfellows

The Darkbane Band

... and more to follow... unless I am stopped! Bwa-ha-ha!

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Bedford: Actually, I've just now reread the Morphic Healing ability and I'm wondering what WoTC was thinking. Am I reading this right in that you regenerate 2 hit points a round, and able to heal up to 10 if your character concentrates?

 

[bedford]

yes that is the best feature of the warshaper class.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Bedford: I'd like to change that to either:

A.) an additional DR 2/Silver that will stack or...
B.) to allow you to have it, but say that silver weapons will not allow regeneration, unique to a warshaper lycanthrope.

Sorry. I know I've been a pain in limiting your character's power.

 

[Lorthanoth]

Sorry to don my DMing cap... but a Werebear with 1 class level is already a 10th level character viz. 1 class level +6 racial HD (bear form) +3 level adjustment.

If bedford were to only take one level in a character class, I believe the character would be balanced. A PC's ECL (Equivalent Character Level) is the sum of their racial HD, class levels and Level Adjustment. The confusion seems to have arisen in not taking into account the fact that the bear HD are always used and count as 'levels'. See the standard werebear here which uses a human warrior as the base: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/lycanthrope.htm#werebear

If Bedford where to take 1st level in a character class instead of warrior and add the werebear racial adjustments, then add the bear hit dice, you'd be good to go by the RAW.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

I'm open to suggestions. I want Bedford to be able to play the character he wants to play, but I also don't want to see a character too powerful for this adventure and for his fellow player characters.

Lorthanoth appears to be right from what I see. I am not a DM, and honestly never want to be one. Just going from what I see, it would give him almost the same stats as the rest of us. His hit points would be around....70? Not too far off from my monks.


**edit**

Page 172 of the DM's Guide: "Add a monster's level adjustment to it's Hit Dice and class levels to get the creature's effective character level, or ECL."

Page 173 gives an example of a bugbear: 3 hit dice + 1 level adjustment +1 level of rogue= ECL of 5

 

[bedford]

I created him using the rules given to me by deuce traveler. +2 la and one level of bear, this werebear has 10 points less in strength and and, 2 points less in wis than the 6 hd one would have.
