Erekose's Savage Tide Adventure Path [Players Selected]

[Rystil Arden]

Even if Jerrell is a Swashbuckler, I think with his high stats, he will become a nice tank, even if it is not as optimal as a figther, but the extra feat will help greatly. With a chain shirt and a small shield, he will become quite a good figther, and he will be able to shield bash with his two-weapon figthing or take teh Improved Buckler defence, which allow him to still use his buckler while figthing with two-weapon (in other word, -1 to attack in the off-hand to gain his buckler AC shield bonus, which can be more than 1 when enchanted...) I think I'll have plenty of time to see what will be better for him. After teh first few fight, I'll see where are my weakness.

But I'm pleased to see the team. First time I see so many none core class in a group I play. Only the cleric.

And for the player, I've played with most of you all too, so I am quite sure it will give something interesting.

Verbatim, I'm happy to have the chance to play with you again. I've miss Ayden since he dissapear, and Sielwoodan too

Oh, a sword-and-board Swashbuckler? Wow, that's quite different than I usually see, I'll admit (most use that +Int to all attacks to optimise dual-wielded blades)

I hope you have PHII as a source then for the extremely-powerful feat that lets the shield bonus apply to Touch AC.

I was thinking her being saved by him could have happened roughly around the time Nathen was returning from his trading trip. Since both were good things for the Lidus, it was mentioned more along the lines of house gossip that Nathen would be able to hear. I doubt she would tell him face to face, but even as a bastard, he is still a Lidu.

Velmont: I have missed playing Ayden also and it seems I have found the niche I enjoy with priests. Hopefully I can turn Nathen into something other than an Ayden clone and still keep his char interesting. It will be good to get to play with both you and Manz again.

Works for me

Velmont, did you get my email? Check the E1 thread in LEW.

 

[Velmont]

Yes, and there is a few interesting feats, I'll have a time to think about the style of swashbuckler I want. But I think it could make things interesting to have a light shield in his off-hand.

But I see the Agile Shield Bash, in teh PHII, allows to reduce "two-weapon" figthing penalty when figthing with a shield and a weapon... I thought Two-weapon Figthing could apply to a shield too, as you use your shield as a weapon. What do you think about that Erekose?

TWF definitely applies to sword/shield bash by RAW. I suppose that means with both feats it would stack.

Nope, as Agile Shield Bash tell it replace you standard penalty with two-weapon figthing, but I see one great things with it... you can use Agile Shield bash even with an heavy shield and get only -2/-2, instead of -4/-4 because of an heavy shield. But you won't have the chance to get a second or third attack, except if new feat are created to mimic the two-weapon feat progression.

Wait a minute, though--Agile Shield Fighting replaces the normal penalties with -2/-2, then TWF reduces the penalties to -0/-0. I'm not seeing how that wouldn't stack (and it isn't too unreasonable, really)

I'll have a look at them later (I think I've got time LOL). I don't think I'll manage the IC thread today. Look for it tomorrow definitely.

What is a 'Quickling?' And what does the 'ambidexterity' feat do? I don't recall having seen that since 3E.

Velmont's swashbuckler doesn't have a good enough AC to be much of a meatshield,though he's clearly a good fighter. I'm keeping the dragon disciple route open for Julian (who do you think his real father is, anyway?). I may push him in more the pirate direction, rather than the social bard direction, as that's what the group seems to need more of at this point.

We do have a link to the Lidos. Julian's best friend's parents were servants of the Lidos. I'm thinking butler and maid, though I didn't specify in his background. He recently had to visit them to tell them of their son's death.

quickling faen and ambidexterity are from Arcana Evolved. The quickling faen are a race similar perhaps to halflings, though they have different flavor to them. Ambidexterity and Two-Weapon Fighting were kept as seperate feats in AE but the end result if you have both is -0/-0. Ambidexterity is a talent, however, and can only be choosen at first level. I believe that Malarky choose it as Tereg's background feat.
