Epic Cinematic (Recruiting)

[Walking Dad]

Thank you, Shayuri.

I will try to do my best, but it was a hard week and my wife has to work this weekend, leaving me with the kids. I can easily manage to post in a thread, but it is difficult to make something like a equipment list.

BTW: the abilities start at zero before adding points?

 

[Shayuri]

Yar. And it's 1 for 1...not on an increasing scale. But you can only buy a maximum of 18 before racial mods.

 

[Darimaus]

Thanks, now I KNOW I suck at epic character creation

I wouldn't be too worried, Vertexx hasn't mentioned feral pounce only works on the first round of combat.

More importantly, because this game is description based, how well your character is made is only important to a point. You can make up any power gap with good writing skills.

Think there is any room for me in here?

 

[Vertexx69]

It is standard knowledge that it only works for the first charge, but I also have the pouncing strike manuever that lets me do it again And being a heavy dmg dealer is only 1 aspect of any adventuring party I'm just filling a single role in the cast. In an antimagic field, everyone is dead meat at epic lvl no matter what the build ;p In my first epic game, I was all proud of my +27 to diplomacy until someone that owned every book there was showed up with a +123. We learn over time. So don't feel bad WD - Jemal and Shayuri will always be able to build circles around me because they have access to everything!

 

[Jemal]

Something's only 'standard knowledge' to those that are familiar with it.
Also, for anybody who thinks it's overpowered (It is, but..) Feral Pounce is pretty close to the Epic Feat Dire Charge, which is fairly easy to aquire if you want your character to do that kinda thing.

As far as # of sources - My char. for this campaign only uses a few non-core sources: Complete Warrior, Masters of the Wild, and Book of Exalted. (Oh I suppose the grafts from fiend folio, but the only thing I really get from them that matters is flight which can be gained any number of ways core, and the roleplaying quirk of being an ex-evil 'monster' who reformed and battles his evil upbringing on a daily basis). I'd also like to point out that the most powerful character (IMO) that I came up with for this campaign was a core-only fighter type with a 3-digit AC.
It's not the size of your stash, it's how you use it.

Before he joined the ranks of the virtuous, Bodin was a powerful servant of evil, and was bestowed fiendish grafts as gifts from his demonic overlords. He now uses the powers granted by these to fight against the evil, and every day fights an internal battle against the evils within him. Also, prior to taking the Vow of Poverty, he read one of each +5 tome.

All I loose in an antimagic field is True seeing, Exalted Strike(+8 hit/damage), and 19 AC, leaving my attacks at +47 (1d6+15) and my AC at 60 in antimagic. It's what the character's made for.

 

[Shayuri]

I'd never claim to design rings around anyone in epic play. I think pixie will be fun to play, but I won't be setting any records for AC, to hit, damage, or any of that. I'm a bit concerned, in fact, that my fort save is too low...but I'm outta money and don't want to sacrifice any class levels...so I'll just have to take the risk.

 

[Arabesu]

Hey. I know the deadline has done and gone, but are you at all interested in a new player. The title suggested as much, although no flag. I also thought that someone dropped at the last minute a few weeks ago.

I am pretty sure I can have something ready by tomorrow afternoon or Sunday morning at the latest. I can be pretty fast.

Ask around if you feel you need a reference I have been a routine poster on these PdB sections for several months and a couple of your other players know me. I tried to get in Jemal's game but it filled up before I could read the backlogs.

Either way, thanks for your consideration.

 

[Albedo]

Arabesu and Darimaus, lets see what you guys can come up with. A few other players need a few days anyways.

Jemal: Exalted feats are supernatural, you lose all of them, including vow of povery, in an antimagic field.

All: Since starting is gonna be delayed, I want everyone to submit their world names and we can vote before we start.

 

[Shayuri]

World name:

Tyrias

 

[Jemal]

If that's the case, then why do the abilities granted by vow of poverty have their types listed? (Extraordinary/Supernatural) Meh, yer the boss I guess.
