Reposting questions
Only things I have left to find out:
1. Silver Arrow PrC, at http://homepage.mac.com/~dead_radish/silverarrowPrC.html - doable, or no
2. The spells I'm wondering about (Yes, they were Relics and Rituals. My apologies):
Belsamath's Blessing, Divine Rainment, Vangal's Wounding?
I can give you the text of them, if you're interested.
And Battletide from Magic of Faerun.
About to post my character.

Battletide is evil, because it is all about negative energy.
I don't have R&R. Feel free to send me the descriptions, though.
The pres class is similar to the Arcane Archer, with slightly worse attacks and some of its weaker powers replaced, but with nearly full spell progression. With that progression, Longshot's weaknesses verses enchant arrow gp away, because Greater Magic Weapon is both better and readily available. This also makes one of the primary class features a bit useless, anyway.
In short, I'd prefer that you stick with your many good choices of published Archer PRCs.

I wanted opinions on where an idea rates on the cool/lame scale.
What if when casting a spell I have Alcar state an invocation unique for each occurence. Kinda of like the spellcasting in the Slayers anime. For example in the current situation I'd add this....
Worth it or annoying, you make the call!

Very worth it. No question. Don't force yourself to say something if/when you can't think of anytihing good, though.

Don't mind me I'm just testing the links in my sig.
Actually, since I'm posting anyway why not make it useful...
I was just wondering what time of year is it in the campaign? I know it's 1380 DR but I can't find if you said exactly when it is month-wise.
Much fun in the campaign so far, smashing worgs with a physical and spiritual maul is very satisfying. Assuming I live through the battle I can't wait to chat with Ubaar
Any comments on the color I use for the game mechanic section of my post? Does it show up readable on other people's displays? If you like it changed to a different color it's no problem I'm not attached to crimson.
Maybe green Lime Green Sea Green Burlywood! Sandy Brown Sienna Coral Blue Royal Blue And crimson
Ok, enough testing opinions are welcome.

I like Burlywood for a color.
Don't like Blue.
So, I'm wondering, Matt - are these first battles indicative of your combat style?
It's rather strange to me, and I'm wondering if there's some ... pattern, or rules to it?
I mean, for example, you had Ubaar wade into the Ogre Mage without getting the chance to specifically choose his target or decide on points to put into Power Attack, etc.
I haven't worked with such a quick, assumed-action style in a PbP before, and haven't seen it used in others. I'm sure it can work (with the side-effect of having faster - and MORE! - battles), but I was wondering if you could give us a primer, maybe, on the way you like to run combat?
TIA.
(and check the Rogue's Gallery thread for questions and I'll try to detail the stats for Ubaar when affected by his spells and items, to make it easy for damage assignment, HP determination, etc)

reaper- I think this is the "let's get the party through this first stuff so that they can actually start something" style of combat.
If everyone could provide a more detailed character sheet, it would help things run smoother. Adding functions of items (especially if it's not visible on the rest of the sheet) and stats for your character with various amounts of rage/spells cast would definitely help.
Turn by turn initiative takes a very long time over a PbP game unless people post more often than I've seen before, so contingency posting may be in order (for example, post that you . I guess Matt will fill us in on the initiative system sometime after we finish this first combat.

Elric - ya, I'm guessing that too (hoping to be filled in, and that these are preliminary combats).
The idea of multiple rounds being resolved in one post is just kinda alien to me.
And for example, DM_Matt - I had Ubaar wave off the people coming over to heal Ubaar, since he's quite capable of healing himself. But you had them still come over and heal him, leaving the goblins free.
And since you're saying that Rage spell doesn't 'stack' with Barbarian Rage, than Ubaar can cease the Rage at any time.
Not that the ENboard or book approach dictates anything in your game, Matt, but here's a thread about the spell: http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=25573
Ubaar's going to need more Alchemical Pastes or potions of CLW then...
