For the Greater Good - Full

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Absolute Zero - Bracers of armor - 1 lb. Mithril breastplate - 25 lbs.

Heavy_D - No additional range on your shuriken whilst flying.

reapersaurus - I'll add you as an alternate.

The half-celestial dire warhorse's natural AC bonus from being a paladin's mount does indeed stack.

Absolute Zero - I have some issues with Dalabrac D'Morlhan. First of all, why is he darn near Large? A half-celestial falls within the normal size ranges for the base creature, so make him within human norms (using the height and weight chart in chapter 6 of the PHB as your guideline for absolute max). Also, check the errata for the fullblade. It's too big to be used by a Medium creature (which your character should be) so you may select a different weapon.

Also to have the Oath of Combat you have to chose the Swear an Oath feat as your freebie (as that's the prereq for Oath of Combat) rather than Devout Faith.

As a very minor nitpick I think you have two skill points too many (2+3)*4 = 20 + 4 = 24 at first level. Then (2+3+1)*7 = 42 for the remaining seven levels equals 66 skill points in total. Just a very little thing. Other things with skill points: Your Diplomacy modifier should be +9 not +10.

Oh and put that your detect evil ability is 1/day.

Umm... I think that's it. Do you have a wish list for your character? Just pop that up along with your background, personality, and appearance as soon as you have them.

I think Dalabrac D'Morlhan looks like a good addition to the party though. He's really going to work well.

Also if anyone is interested you may use the BoHM paladin (along with the variant paladins) and ranger, along with the BoEMII's sorcerer and bard. Just thought I'd broaden the options there.

And I said I was going to get up Sebastion's items yesterday Halivar and I didn't. Sorry! Let me update this weekend, and by then I should theoretically own the BoED (my store says it's due on Friday the 17th).

Thanks for the update, Ray.

Hrmm... looking at my character next to Absolute Zero's, it looks like my character's going to play the chump next to his templated brethren. No matter, though! We'll see what youth and speed can do next to age and treachery...

 

[Absolute Zero]

Ray Silver, I really don't see what's wrong with being above average in height and weight, I figure his size complements his worship of the god of strength and athletics(Kord). I realize he is near large, but medium is 6-8ft which means that it's possible to have medium creatures as tall as Dalabrac.

BUT, if you really insist that I be normal*sigh*, then I'll change it. Aswell, he only weighs as such because of his immense muscle mass (22 str) and his height.

The fullblade as a matter of fact can be used in two hands without penalty by a medium sized creature, all you need is the exotic proficiency, which I have (if you don't believe me check the Arms and Equipment).

I will fix that two extra skill point thing, probably just an adding problem(did it in my head). I'll change that Devout Faith to Swear an Oath (must of been looking at the wrong feat).

I will get that wishlist up soon, along with my appearance, background and personality.

I'm also exchanging my bracers in for another +2str item.

i am just about dun my charecter (am so exited) i think i just got my feets and items then i am gunna get my DM and Power player guy to see if i did it right (i havnt used a template yet)

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Absolute - Ok, I can see that for the height and weight, so go ahead and keep that.

However, for the fullblade, A&E is not among the books I own, so I am currently going off of the errataed Sword and Fist, which states the fullblade is too large for a medium-sized creature to use at all. Look here. Thus I stand by my judgement and request that you select another weapon of mass destruction.

 

[Absolute Zero]

I'd really much rather not use the fullblade from the Sword and Fist, mostly becuase it sucks.

I think it's unjustified that I can't use a weapon because you don't own the book. I don't if it's because you don't trust me or what, but I'd like you to reconsider, or look into it or something, if you need proof I can get you proof, or references or whatever.

I'm also exchanging my bracers in for another +2str item.

Umm.... no. Both of those bonuses are inherant Strength bonuses and do no stack, even though they are from different sources. If you want a +4 bonus to Str, you need to pay 16,000gp like normal.

Ok, now let's look at that link I sent you, shall we? Fullblade, according to the S&F errata is a Huge weapon, does 2d8 damage, 19-20/x2 crit, and can't be used by a Medium creature at all. So you wouldn't be using the fullblade from S&F anyway because your character is a Medium creature and simply isn't large enough to weild it properly.

Now, I gave a fairly long list of books that you guys could select from in the first post.

Races of Faerun, FRCS, Magic of Faerun, Faiths and Pantheons, Materia Magica (Dark Nebulae), Arms and Armor (Bastion Press), all splatbooks, all three core books, BoHM, BoED, and Dragon magazine #277-#312.

That's 16 books, one of which is a weapon book, and 35 magazines. If you can't find anything to your liking within that material, then I'm sorry. But if I don't own it, you can't use it. That's what I consider fair for a PbP game. Unlike a face-to-face game I can't just pick up your book and take a look at the item in question. I find that working out of the same book pool is a lot easier on my psyche.

 

[Absolute Zero]

Actually, Ray Silver, now that I've looked into it, the S&E errata has just made the fullblade the same as it is in the arms and equipment(which is newer so would be more accurate).

In the errata it says the size becomes huge instead of large, it doesn't say that medium sizes can't use it in two hands at all, it says with an exotic proficiency a medium can use in two hands and a large can use in one hand.

But if a blatant fact like that, one that you already knew, isn't enough for you, then whatever, I'll change to some other crappy thing. OK.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Absolute Zero - Check the link I provided for you in an above post! Allow me to quote the errata from said link, that link being the Sword and Fist errata:

p. 72, Fullblade. Replace text with:
Fullblade: A fullblade is 18 inches longer than a greatsword and is too large for Medium-sized creature to use at all. A Large creature could use the fullblade in one hand, but would suffer the standard -4 nonproficiency penalty to its attack rolls, or with two hands as a martial weapon. A Large creature with the Exotic Weapon proficiency could use the fullblade in one hand with no penalty. A fullblade is also called an ogre's greatsword.

I don't know how much more clear I can make that. If you agree that the A&E errata made it a Huge weapon, then you can only agree that a Medium-sized creature cannot use it, as a Medium-sized creature can't weild a weapon two size catagories above their own.

This is the information that I'm using, so either you may use it, or you may step aside. If you're going to get so upset because I won't allow a single weapon, because the errata says it's impossible for your character to use, and then claiming that information from a book that I am not allowing people to draw from for this game allows you to do so, then you may step down.

I don't want to fight with people over details like this. I DM these PbP games for fun, and arguing with my players over something like this is not fun for me. If 16 books and 35 magazines worth of things aren't good enough to inspire you to find something for your character, then perhaps a different DM and different game would be to your liking.

This post probably sounds rather angry, and it is. I don't mean to scare the rest of my players, but I'm really not willing to have to ram heads for the rest of the game, and this is not the best of beginnings.

Absolute Zero, are we going to be able to compromise, or is there a different game you'd like to play?
