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

[Lorthanoth]

That's cool; I was putting my two cents in, offering the RAW version, but if you guys have worked out soemthing that is fair and fun, then that's the whole spirit of the game right there! But if it's still a bit of an impasse, then it's easy enough to create a 1st level human PC and then whack on the bear HD from the stat block.

Now where did I put my player hat? Ah there it is, right next to my rules lawyer mortar board...

EDIT: Nope, not trying to be ornery, just helpful - the problem with just text, of course; we miss all the tone of voice etc. Just imagine me as a rather hesitant Hugh Grant (complete with glasses and floppy hair) and you'll see how unthreatening I am!

 

[OnlytheStrong]

I'm sure neither Lorthanoth or I are trying to start a fight here. I know I'm not. I'm ready for the game to start and do want everyone to be on a half-way level playing field. My last post have the actual page numbers and examples of everything. Sorry

 

[bedford]

yes and I used both the lycantrope+2 la and the 1 hd bear level that i was suposed to so I don't see what your problem with my build is. and the hitpoints is about the same as a barbarian of level 10 with similar gear.

 

[OnlytheStrong]

Unless I'm wrong the HD for a werebear is 6, with a +3 (per the book) LA, so right there you are at level 9. Your hit points are fine even though you don't have all your levels in Barbarian. It's not my final say, but if you keep it the way you are, we (and the bad guys) will have to have like 6 more people just to combat you.

 

[Lorthanoth]

Oh dear! I didn't mean to antagonise anyone - sorry to offend. Deuce Traveler should of course be the ultimate arbiter of what he'll allow.

Apologies if you've felt antagonized, bedford, that was not my intention. :\

 

[bedford]

no problem Lorthanoth.


OnlytheStrong. yes if i was to use the mm version of werebear it would be 6+3 but this is a weaker version as I stated above.



Deuce traveller.
alternative b sounds good.

B.) to allow you to have it, but say that silver weapons will not allow regeneration, unique to a warshaper lycanthrope.

 

[OnlytheStrong]

As I stated earlier, I did not intend to start a fight or to argue with anyone. I meant no disrespect either. I did intend to help Deuce decide on what to do. But that's it. It honestly has very little to do with me until our groups encounter each other. I may have to run, but thank god I can outrun you lol.

Frukathka, I noticed that your rogue has a lot of feats. Is that something that a martial rogue gets instead of a normal rogue and where can I find the rules for that?

Yes. In exchange for Sneak Attack, a martial rogue gains bonus feats. See Unearthed Arcana, pg. 58. Also available for viewing here.

Frukathka: I don't have the complete book of Eldritch Might. Does Devlin's Ring create magical or non-magical items? Also, for your weapons and armor it looks like you paid for the enhancements, but not for the items and upgrading them to masterwork.

Here are the full entries for the spell & the magic item:

[sblock=Devlin's Barb Spell]Devlin's Barb
Conjuration (Creation)
Level: Asn 1, Sor/Wiz 0
Components: V, S
Casting Time: Standard action
Range: Personal
Effect: One arrow, bolt, bullet or sling stone
Duration: One minute/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

You create an arrow, bolt, bullet or sling stone (with no magical or masterwork properties). The created object disappears when the duration ends. Assassins use this spell even when ammunition is plentiful, because it leaves no trace of the weapon that caused the wound.[/sblock]
[sblock=Devlin's Ring Magic Item]Devlin's Ring
If you wear this ring and pull back on an empty bow of any kind, an arrow appears, nocked and ready to fire. Should you fire the arrow, it inflicts damage and acts in all ways as a normal arrow. If you don't fire the arrow, it fades after 1 round. You can use this ring to produce more than one arrow in a round if you have multiple attacks.

Faint conjuration; caster level 1st, Forge Ring, Devlin's barb; Price 2,000 gp.[/sblock]
That should clarify. Also I did pay for the masterwork feature for my dagger and bow (just forgot to include total cost in my post; will update that in a moment), elven chain is already masterwork (therefore incorporated into the cost).

Any contact preferences for Luna?

One preference. I'd like her to have a seer (not necessarily a spellcaster) as a contact. The seer is also the person that taught Luna how to unlock her ability to divine future events with the Fate Weaving skill. The other can be whatever you want it to be.

Deuce, would my small monkey have the standard bonuses to those certain monkey skills?

As per SRD: "Monkeys have a +8 racial bonus on Balance and Climb checks. They can always choose to take 10 on Climb checks, even if rushed or threatened. They use their Dexterity modifier instead of their Strength modifier for Climb checks."

Edit: Oh, and I was thinking about having a Cohort, nothing special, I'd keep him out of combat for the most part. But what I envision is a performing monkey, complete with lease and everything, with a supervisor (who would end up being his cohort). This is the monkey's way of hiding the fact that he's sentient. Out of combat, I want the cohort to be mute, maybe even blind. In combat I want him to be a non-participant unless someone goes after him or people gang up on the monkey. Does this make sense?

 

[Deuce Traveler]

It does make sense, but I'm leaning towards nipping this cohort stuff in the bud. It would be too much work on my part to also NPC cohorts, and I'm also concerned about accusations of me not roleplaying a cohort effectively. If I move a cohort into an area that he would think was safe only to have him get fried by a fireball on the next round there is going to be a very upset player. To avoid that criticism, I'd rather the party be encompassed of just the PCs and not have any other tag alongs. I'd rather you just pick a teammate you get along with and say that he's your handler while out in public to avoid scrutiny.
