Discussion of Scotley's upcoming 4e Swashbuckler Game

[Walking Dad]

I have already chosen Plum as speech color. I like Lime for nature characters and Yellow for sun priests.

We'll start calling you 'Fruit Loop Dad' then, ok?!

Hey, I don't use the colors all at once!

Wilhelm is Olive just like my other old man, Col Tobinson.

There is an olive and an olivedrab?

So, I think I have Lucien Devereux mostly finished up. Would someone mind taking a look at the character sheet, and letting me know what is still screwed up, or if I've missed anything?

You still use a parrying dagger without a feat.
I would choose this over two-weapon fighting, or get the Midnight student feat.

Reapnig strike is bad, the damage on a miss is really minor and you cannot use a miss to kill minions. Cleave is better to simulate quick attacks through hordes of minions.

Not sure what mithral does at the moment...
will comment it later.

I switched to a short sword instead of a parrying dagger based on not having the feat. Was that not a good idea?

Okay, I will look at cleave and some of the other abilities.

Once per day you can use it to reduce damage from a hit by half.

My first choice of color is always darkorange, then lightblue, then yellow, then sandybrown. Looks like I've gone with sandybrown for this game, is that a problem for anyone?

I'm using Sandybrown already

Mithril's great against a huge crit, especially from brutes or elites. I've hit a PC with a 3d8+5+2d6 attack at level 4 (with a standard skirmisher monster). If they're crit on said attack it's 39 damage...almost enough to one shot the PC. Knocking that in half is pretty sweet. It's a nice insurance policy to keep you up and on your feet.

That is kind of my thinking on grabbing the Mithral. Take some of the sting out of that big hit.
