Epic D&D campaign (still recruiting)

[Wilphe]

Posting to say interested if there is still room and you are interested in splitting, but not able to compete with an optimised epic character.

You might get an interesting one however.

Be looking at either:

Mashall
If that will be allowed, epic progression is here
Epic Insights: Epic Miniatures Handbook


or Fochlucan Lyrist, which is in the completes


I can make an decicated arcanist, but he/she/it will probably not be well built


Setting question:

If characters arrive here after they died, what age are they, especially if they died of old age?

I'm thinking not many of the most legendary beings of all time, get to quietly drift off the end of their natural lives. I know at least Hanshu's second end was almost as brutal and sad as his first. Go nuts with the creative side of your demise

@ Dharuhk Svahre - when you say + a d20 to determine the DC, are you saying its random on our end too? And I just added DCs throughout his background story. Is this ok or should I also pull the pertinent bits into a nested sblock for the knowledge checks?

[MENTION=4936]Shayuri[/MENTION] - Aye, that is weird.. Main reason I went for the bear was b/c i figured mages would be overdone.


You know, my alternate idea for this game was a super-bard (Lyric Thaumaturge/Sublime chord/Archmage).

Hmm.. I'm gonna do some more work on it, then compare the two and see which resonates better for me... After I update my game.

Some seek to die with sword in hand, whatever they achieve is not enough, each challenge an itch that cannot be scratched. They drive ever, on and on, seeking a death that never comes til one day it does, or maybe somethin worse.

Me?

I started with nothing but the harness on my back and a sword in my hand. Death for some minor warchief's quarrel was not for me. So I went to learn the ways of men, and their weakness too, and the power that comes from true law. I told my people too, showed them that discipline and order served them better than their habitual casual petty tyranny.

I have carved an empire from the wilderness.
I have waged war with success but never wantonly.
I have made my people as great in peace as in war
I have taken cities and slain princes by my own hand, where I have had to
I have built cities where once there was nothing.
I have counted the daughters of Kings amongst the lowest of my slaves, and I do not deny that I enjoyed it.

My name shall live among the skalds and sages for evermore

And I die in my own bed, surronded by my loved ones and the trappings of sucess.

That makes me the winner boy.

kk, lets go through this list shall we. First off, welcome aboard. Secondly, I don't know if we are splitting but it looks like we got a fair number of pcs so its a good possibility. Thirdly, All those classes look fine to me. Lastly, it is a prerequisite that your character had to have died unnaturally. Long story short, the res magic don't work on old age. You are brought back at the same age you died at.

Yes, the DC is random on your end too. Its based on how much your character made these facts known throughout his/her life (your base DC) followed by how much facts got twisted, turned, forgotten, or immortalized since you died (the random d20). Btw, good job on the story. Gives you the feeling you are reading up on a legend. As for the mixed in DCs, it might help to define a little better what information you get from the check. When they are added in like thar I can't tell if you want them to know.

Ishasha Wasmer, Human Female - Ranger(17), Swashbuckler(3), Dervish(10).

One too many rolls due to max HD at first level. Ranger was first class, so do I dropped the last (2).

Hit dice rolls:

 

[Wilphe]

Ok.

What do we do about inherent bonuses to INT and skill points?
ie: When are we considered to have read tomes?


What about XP penalties for multiclasing?


Are we allowed to buy off LA as per UA?

 

[Vertexx69]

UA was nixed as an available source, that most likely means no LA buyoff.

@ Dharuhk Svahre - I've added a handy Lore section with various Knowledge checks, where I condensed the pertinent bits of Hanshu's background. Hope that makes it clearer

 

[Albedo]

Alrighty, sorry it took so long, but I finally have a character concept off the ground now.

I'm playing Dizzy May Ember, A chameleon geomancer... with some levels in other stuff. I should have the character done and up in the next day or two.

So I'm making a few assumptions about Vow of Poverty going epic so i'll just pitch where I believe it to be at 30th level.

+14 Exalted Armor
+7 Enhancement to attack and damage
Stat Enhancements 12/10/8/6/4/2
+5 Deflection to AC
+5 Resistant to all saves
+3 Natural Armor
Resist Energy 25

And I do believe I should probably roll some HPs as well.

 

[Vertexx69]

Wow, over 30 base classes and over 60 PrC and we get a second geomancer concept? Maybe The Archdruid's mate?

As far as skills are concerned, I think I read somewhere that if you have a racial bonus to a skill its always considered a "Class Skill". Is that in print somewhere, or was it just a house rule I picked up? (As skills are the last bit I have to finish on Hanshu. Takes a while to get though 401 points .)
