For the Greater Good - Full

[Halivar]

I got Magic of Faerun, Faiths and Pantheons, all splatbooks except Sword and Fist, Arms & Equipment, all three core books, BoHM, no girlfriend and no money to spend on one anyway. Strangely enough, I do not own FRCS. Usually we just graft stuff from the FR supplements into our homebrew. I've never even opened a Dragon magazine (they're always shrink-wrapped and I'm afraid they're more ads than content like most magazines, and I hate trying new things... )

BTW, Absolute, for what it's worth, I think your character will still kick butt without keen speed on his blade or fortification on his armor. Remember you've got buku hit-points and you'll prol'ly never get to half of them if I'm as good as I think I am...

PS: Boots of Speed, man... ya gotta have Boots of Speed...

Being something of a completist, I have every single one of those books and magazines, except for Materia Magica. Of course, i just got married, so the gap sin my collection will grow and grow...

Now I just have to sift through it all to find the right thing to play.

Ray, when you say you want to explore heroic characters, would a repentant former villain be appropriate for this game, or are you thinking of true, dyed-in-the-wool goody-goodies?

 

[Velenne]

Magic of Faerun, all splatbooks, all three core books, BoED (soon), and Dragon magazine #283-291. That's about all the rules I can handle.

EDIT: also have Manual of the Planes, Psionic Handbook, Savage Species (which is 3E btw), Epic-Level Handbook, Oriental Adventures, and the Stronghold Builder's Guide

Jaik, redeemed villian would be fine.

Why I'm asking about the books is if I end up picking things for your character it will be easier if you have the book.

So thusly, your weapon must be a +1 keen speed weapon. Keen is a +1 bonus and speed is a +4 bonus, then add the +1 enhancement bonus. That's a total of a +6 bonus or 72,000gp. Plus 900gp for the weapon itself for a true total of 72,900gp. Now, that's far too much gold, almost your entire 88,000gp, and far over the cap I gave. [/QOUTE]

See, normally when we play D&D we consider it that each bonus was payed for at different times so, one day I went and got keen and payed for a +1, then some other day my character went and got speed and paid for it as a +3. Instead of assuming my character went and paid for a whole bash of enchantments at once.

But, Ray Silver, if you do things differently I'll definetly have it changed.

As for the books, I have the core rule books, BoHM, Arms and Armor and can easily get a hold of all the rest of them, except the BoED and the Magazines.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

The way I play is pretty much by the book. You have to have that +1 initially, but each time you add a quality to the weapon the total bonus goes up, so you have to pay the difference. If you have a +1 weapon and want to make it keen, you have to pay 6,000gp, or the difference between a +1 and a +2 weapon. That's how I'm going to do it.

If you want more stuff on your weapon or armor or whatever, put it on your wish list.

 

[Halivar]

Ray, I was wrong, I do in fact have Sword and Fist. Don't know why I missed that one.

Jaik, have you decided on your villian-turned-goody yet? I'd like to see if we can come up with some cool character background cross-overs.

 

[Heavy_D]

I have two core books (hand)(monster) i am borowing the dmg from my buddy, BoHM, Arms and Armor and can get a hold of all the rest of them,sept for sumthin thats not out yet (between me and all my friends we have pritty much them all)

 

[Heavy_D]

i changed something on my name i am just seing if it worked

 

[Jaik]

Well, I'm thinking of taking an evil prestige class along the lines of assassin or fist of hexor or something, then going back to a base class. Alternatively, i could play a weird race, like a half-ogre...*beg, whine, plead* Seriously, though, I think a rogue gone assassin, returned to rogue with the desire to use his skills for good could work pretty well and fill in the rogue slot we seem to be missing.
