Dr. Si's Curse of the Crimson Throne OOC

[Oni]

I thought that was only with the "activate blindly" use, although it makes sense for other options.

Oni: Assuming you're going for another level of sorcerer, I rolled a 2 for hit points.

By the way, is anyone interested in joining my Romance of thw River Kingdoms campaign? I've had two players drop off the boards recently, leaving it a bit sparsely populated!

Does that include any con bonus or just the flat roll?

And out of curiosity what mix of classes do you have/what do you need more of?

 

[Dr Simon]

Oni - that was just the roll. Add Con bonus and favoured class bonus (if desired).

Erm... What have we got in RRK at the moment? A human paladin (of beauty) with a level of water spirit bloodline, and an eagle shapeshifter sorcerer specialising in fire magics. The players we have recently lost were playing fairly similar characters, both nature types. One a baboon shapeshifter druid (with all manner of Unearthed Arcana variants applied). Quite an all-rounder really. The other, a salsham'ai (small arboreal folk) shaman - the healer and sage. So, the door is open to anything really.

So, is swordsage acceptable?

I don't know Swordsage, but it sounds like it would fit. Let me know further details.

 

[Neurotic]

HD d8; 3/4 BAB; Good Will and Refl saves;
Has access to more disciplines then other classes, but is not full BAB and has slowest recovery method.

Class features:
Quick to Act - bonus to initiative +1 1st, +2 5th level
Discipline Focus (weapon focus for weapons of discipline chosen) - in my case Shadow Hand
AC bonus - add WIS to AC similar to monk
Discipline focus (insightul strike) - add WIS to damage when executing strike from chosen discipline

Shadow Hand weapons: dagger, sai, shortsword, spiked chain, siangham and unarmed strike. Key skill : Hide;

Diamond mind weapons: Bastard sword/Katana, rapier, shortspear and trident; Key skill: Concentration

general build would revolve around assassins stance and shadow disciplines , with diamond mind as secondary.

Class build: simple Swordsage. Assassins stance will be combat default

Stances:
Flames blessings
Assassins Stance
Giant Killing Stance

MAneuvers:
1st level
Sapphire Nightmare Blade (or Shadow strike tehnique), Counter charge, Stone Bones,

2nd level
fire reposte, clever positioning, Cloak of deception, shadow jaunt,

3rd level
drain vitality (may replace this one, doesn't fit nature loving race), shadow garrote, mind over body


He can ready 6 of these at any time.

Oni, do you have charm person or similar spell available? We could use it about right now.

I'm afraid not, just my own personal charisma and likability.
I was considering replacing Burning Hands with it though.

On that note, sorry I'm being slow, I'll try to update my character sheet tomorrow.
[edit: updated char sheet.]

Neurotic:

Regarding swordsage, etc., I don't have BO9S so you'll have to give me all the details of stances etc., but I'm happy to try it out. I assume it works a bit like the ritual warrior from Arcana Evolved, in that the stances and maneuvres are resources that get used up in a similar fashion to spells, i.e. you have a certain number per day of each power level that you can use as and when.

Can we take any further discussion of Romance of the River Kingdoms to the OOC thread for that game, though (see my sig.).

 

[Ambrus]

Just wondering if Neurotic is going to chime in in the IC thread; it's been nearly a week since his last post.

 

[Neurotic]

I would Ambrus, but there is realy nothing to say. He's guarding the guards, looking lean and mean killing machine. Edmond tried his best in interrogation and gathering info he is not realy sociable type and he does not want to hurt these idiots

Rule question: is it possible to execute something that requires standard action as part of full attack?
