E6 Red Hand of Doom (OOC)

[Bootmobile]

Emailed the details as well as some ideas on how to reduce it down to no level adjustment.

 

[Eidalac]

It's a bit late, so this is quick and rough, but just on a glance I'm thinking something like this:

Stats: Str bonus reduced to +2

Powerful Build: +2 size bonus to grapple, trip and bull-rush attempts (as well as any other such contested rolls that grant a bonus for size), as well as another +2 bonus to resist special attacks with a limited size of medium (improved grab or swallow whole) Treat has having the monkey grip feat for Large weapons (-2 penalty, but you can use a one-handed large weapon in one hand, or a two-handed large weapon in both hands). You can take the Monkey Grip feat as well, which then lets you wield large weapons as if you were large.

EDIT:
Gah! I'ms slow! (re-checking e-mail)


Idea 2:
Stats: Str bonus reduced to +2

Powerful Build: +2 size bonus to grapple, trip and bull-rush attempts (as well as any other such contested rolls that grant a bonus for size), as well as another +2 bonus to resist special attacks with a limited size of medium (improved grab or swallow whole).

and you have access to 2 feats:

Mighty Build [Racial]
You are a big boy.
Prereq: Powerful Build.
Benefit: The size bonus granted by Powerful Build increases by +2 (to at total of +4).

Monkey Grip [General]
Special: A character with the Powerful Build feature may take this feat a second time. Doing so negates the -2 penatly to wield weapons that are one size larger.

[Bootmobile]

Stats: Str bonus reduced to +2

Does that leave the Con bonus in place or do you mean str +2 and no Con bonus?

 

[dystmesis]

Heh, I made a character but it was too overwhelmingly 'broken' Thinking of a new one...

 

[Eidalac]

Boot:
Just the Str bonus and Powerful Build change, everything else remains the same.

 

[dystmesis]

Hmm, I wonder how many folks we'll get and what kind of party rolls need to filled.

 

[Eidalac]

Hrm.

Well, ATM, we seem to have the cleric and melee roles covered, leaving, out of the classic four, rogue and wizard. IIRC, neither of those roles are more or less helpful in this campaign.

In general, the encounters will tend to be more melee focused, so a party without such characters won't be gimped (which is not to say there are no spots where lacking one of them won't be a hurdle).

So, ATM and without giving anything away, I'd have to say that either a caster type or ranger/rogue type built for ranged attacks would be a solid addition.

 

[dystmesis]

I'm not sure about the equipment, because you said you'd give us some magic items or something? Anyway, here's a character:


Elnath "Shadow" Hildigrin

A familiar and welcome sight to travellers and villagers in the area is this young man, clad in a recognizeable floppy hat and dark coat, bow hanging over his shoulder. Trailing not far behind him is a battle-hardened hound.

He has seen his share of hardships. After his village was burnt to the ground and raided by goblins, he swore to hunt down every goblin in revenge. Of course, he can't abide by any other threat to the defenseless, and comes to the aid of many in his travels.

A generally cheerless guy, the only companion in his travels is a guard dog whose owners were killed by bandits. After finishing them off, the dog started following Elnath around.

I like the fact we have a "smoke" character and a "shadow" character, one is privileged and charismatic, the other a gritty, serious loner. I fixed my hit points and will complete my character tonight.
