Emperor of Solmaria (OOC)

[Mithreander]

Yes,m this New Block Attack ability would replace Block Attack and retaliate. Less of a penalty? You really think so? Should I allow him to have a fourth possible block at 10th?

Should I retain ten levels or go down to 7 like I want?

 

[hippocrachus]

three block attacks should be fine, go to tenth level, I think that is usually the basic development for most PrC (I'm thinking assassin only has three death attacks by 10th lvl, I'm probably wrong)
second block attack should be at like -4 and third at -8 (possibly -1 to the first to even it out), the way I see it is that at 15th lvl (5th fighter (or whatever) 10th lvl swordsman) a -10 is pretty crippling, most of the stuff you're going to be fighting by then is gonna be a lot stronger than a +5 to hit...
I would take my council with a grain of salt though, my experience is pretty minimal.

Silentspace, I'd like to know if Kinden is wearing any formal sign of the cult of Pelor, before I post in the IC thread.

 

[Thanee]

Judging from his description, he does, but on the other hand, there are hard times for spellcasters!

Bye

Lichtenhart - Kinden would not wear anything that would link him to his specific temple, since he doesn't want to bring trouble to his brethren in the Order. He wears leather armor, a bow and a sword, so he might be mistaken for a ranger or rogue of some sort. But he does wear a holy symbol of Pelor around his neck (can we assume you get a glimpse of it when he adjusts he cloak?).

Mithreander - I like your Block Attack a lot. The concept sounds really cool. I want to point out, though, that it is an extremely powerful ability. A swordsman with the right feats could easily negate all his opponent's attacks, at the same time getting lots of free counterattacks in...

Edit: Don't know why, but I can't subscribe to the IC and RG threads

 

[Mithreander]

True, but his restrictions more then make up for the advantage I think. Not being able to use range weapons, nor armor, nor shield are big restrictions for a front line fighter. With this working only against a chosen opponent, first he has to beat that chacaters rolls, and secondly, he only gets multiple attempts if he is attacked multiple times by that opponent.

Okay, yes it is powerful, but I have to say I do not think it's TOO powerful, do you?

Oh, and I have no idea what ot suggest with the non-subscription thing going on with thoose threads. Very strange and frustrating I'm sure!

Off the subject, I wanted to thank every one for a fine start! It looks like it may be a very enjoyable adventure with such a deverse group. I was not sure at first with two chaotic neutral character in it, but it may work out after all.

 

[silentspace]

Mthreander: Yeah, forgot for a moment about the armor restrictions

 

[Mithreander]

So is it good this way? I was also thinking of adding natural armor and perhaps damage resistance against piercing and slashing weapons. Any thoughts?

 

[silentspace]

Wow, I just read Thanee's posts about archer builds!

Can I do what she said with Kinden? Change from Pelor to Labelas Enoreth and get the Elf and Time domains? Thanee, you're a genious! I don't have FRCS, so any guidance you could give would be great!

What do you think Mithreander? Nothing's really happened yet

Swordsman looks fine to me, but I'm no expert. I say give it a shot and do some playtesting!
