Erekose's Savage Tide Adventure Path [Players Selected]
- Thread starter Erekose13
- Start date
In looking over the post it looks like the "social butterfly" role has been filled 
My first concept was a fast taliking changling Swashbuckler\rogue. However I see that the role for that is covered by quite a few. Im thinking of changing it up a little if it is alright Erekose and going with either a Darfellan Hexblade. The Class seems to fit thier depressing history.
If the group as a whole thinks that they need an actual Tank.. Im always up for that. Just thought this would add a little more flavor for roleplaying
Let me know what you all think and if it is ok to use the Hexblade out of CW.

Yup no concept is set in stone. I'll be reviewing all of the submissions on the 28th to let you know the 5 chosen (plus a few alternates). CW is definitely available. Though watch the number of sources used. As mentioned in the first post, you can freely use the Core Sources listed and up to 2 Additional Sources. Those additional sources do not need to be choosen yet (I may/will add to it as we go).
Ok great. Thanks for the info. I will submit my character as soon as I can. Just so everyone knows. I am available to post every few hours. I know thats a bit much for a lot of people... however whatelse do you expect me to do at work?! 
I also will be able to post atleast twice a day on the weekends. If there are any days that I will be unavailable I will give you plenty of notice Erekose. And anyone is free to run the character if needed. Im pretty laid back when it comes to that.
Hope to see you all in Sasserine!

As Erekose said, you're probably fine either way--looking through, I see the following as far as diplomatic characters are concerned:Horvs said:In looking over the post it looks like the "social butterfly" role has been filled

[SBLOCK=Characters]Diplo +5 or higher
Alixtus (+13 thanks to Beguiling Influence)
Nathan (+7 from full ranks and 16 Cha)
Julian (+5 from half ranks, half-elf bonus, and lowish Cha for a Bard--he'll probably bump it higher when he bumps to 33)
Other
Jerrell (he is trained in Diplomacy, but spread points thin and low Cha)
Toregan
Skyree
Odair
Anitelu
Dalamar's Character[/SBLOCK]
So while 3/9 is higher than probably normal, it is possible to choose a group with no characters with effective Charisma skills. Also, even among those three, only Alix (+13 again) and Julian (+5 again) have effective Bluff, and nobody is particularly good at Disguise. That said, a Hexblade using those various curse feats to get alternate curses (see CrystalKeep to find their source since I don't remember where they come from) can be a pretty huge debuffing machine.

If Im looking at those feats right (p57)... that would definitley make my decision easier. The limited ability of the Hex curse has me second guessing it. This makes it a little more versatile. Erikose is this something you would consider towards one of my alternate sources? It looks like they came straight from Dragon #339 p92. If so This would obviously force me away from the Darfellan as i would be out of sources. (CW for Hexblade Class, Dragon #339 for Hexblade Feat list)
If not.. I understand you have to draw the line somewhere. There are a ton of alt rules to 3.5. Just let me know.

Glad to help!Horvs said:
You're looking at them correctly, probably (they give you a new way to use your curse, though you don't get additional uses without take Extra Curse)--Erekose and I had a Blink Dog Hexblade ally in another game using those feats who was an incredible debuffer--he was set to use Curse of Ignorance to give the target -10 to Sense Motive and make the target putty in the hands of any of our Bluff specialists (and Curse of Paranoia is a massive boost to casters when you fight one of those monsters with strong saves all around, though admittedly only if you can manage to get it to stick--still, as a swift action, it's worth a shot). And of course, Empower, Extend, and Extra Curse are pretty awesome also. The Blink Dog's problem was that he couldn't take all those feats, but with Erekose's generous feat opportunities, a Hexblade could probably grab many of them eventually (and Extra Curse several times for good measure).

Very good point. I appreciate the insight. My hangup on the Hexblade (as is) was the Curse and how useful -2 to rolls would be once the game advanced to higher levels. Im not looking to break the class... just looking to remain helpful as time goes on. I do think I will have to for go the spell casting abilites of the class and get some decent armor. With a 12 dex... things could get dicey! (pardon the pun!)

I agree--the Hexblade class as written and without any further support was a bit subpar overall (compared to the most-similar other class, the Paladin). With the curses and other curse feats from Dragon 339, it becomes a versatile contender that can really work well with good teamwork tactics (also, don't forget Ability Focus from the Monster Manual. You can pick Hexblade Curse and get all of them at +2 DC. I may do that with Eldritch Blast eventually if I decide to take Essences or Shapes that use DCs).Horvs said:
