I think Im ready for an IC thread.

 

[Jemal]

OK, starting an IC thread.

Feel free to post, everybody, though the tournament won't be officially started until SunUp the next day.

 

[Lord_Raven88]

Yay the site is finally back up, I've been waiting a whole day to make this post

[sblock=Jemal] I've almost completed work on a Dwarven Druid 5 / Blood Hound 5 / Master of Many Forms 10 / Master of Flies 10 / Natures Warrior 5 / Warshaper 5.

I'm just finalising the skills and equipment choices. Below are the character classes that I want to use all bar the Master of Flies are from the allowed rulebooks

[sblock=Druid Abilities]

• Animal Companion:
• Nature Sense: +2 on Knowledge(nature) and Survival checks
• Wild Empathy: Improve attitude of animals via Diplomacy check. +10 druid levels.
• Woodland Stride: Move through any sort of undergrowth at normal speed
• Trackless Step: Leave no trail in natural surroundings and can't be tracked
• Resist Natures Lure: +4 bonus on saving throws against SLA of fey
• Wild Shape (14/day): 10 hours duration.

[/sblock]
[sblock=Blood Hound Abilities(Comp Adv PG 28)]

• Mark(2): +5 insight bonus on Gather Info, Listen, Search Spot and Survival checks.
• Swift Tracker: Move at normal speed while following tracks
• Nonlethal Force: no penalty when dealing nonlethal damage
• Ready and Waiting: Can ready action against mark, even outside of initiative. If mark triggers action at any point within the next 10 minutes, the BH can carry out his readied action as if the two were engaged in combat.
• Bring 'em back alive: Can turn a potentially killing blow into an incapacitating one. At the BH's option, any melee attack that would reduce a foe to -2 or fewer hit points reduces the foe to -1 hit points instead. A BH must choose to use this immediately upon reducing his foe to -2 or fewer hit points, and before making any other action.
• Tenacious Pursuit: +4 bonus on Constitution checks made to resist nonlethal damage from a forced march. +10 speed
• Hunter's Dedication: Add Constitution bonus to will saves made to resist the special attacks or spells of his mark.
• Move like the Wind: Can move stealthily even at a quick pace. No longer takes a -5 penalty on Hide and Move Silently checks when moving at any speed up to his normal speed, and he only takes -10 penalty on Hide and Move Silently checks when running.
• Crippling Strike: +2 Str damage to mark
• Track the Trackless: Can track a creature moving under the influence of a pass without trace or a similar effect with a -20 penalty on Survival checks.

[sblock=Master of Flies Abilities(Savage Species PG 80)]

• Summon Swarm(sp): Can use summon swarm 10/day as 40th level sorcerer. d20 for swarm type (1-6 Spiders, 7-13 Centipedes, 14-20 Flying Beetles).
• Swarm Shape (su): Can take the form of a swarm of vicious little vermin 6/day. This effect is similar to that of summon swarm spell, except that the swarm is of the same size category as the caster (and has the same face as the caster). The MoF can choose the type of vermin from the list above. In swarm shape, he can move at a speed of 15 feet, or up to 45 feet if the swarm flies (poor man). The swarm has the same number of hit points at the original creature and can be damaged by fire and area-effect spells and abilities. If the swarm is dispersed (by a gust of wind for example), the MoF must return to his original shape. To do so, the dispersed creatures must first coalesce (at the swarms speed); the MoF must take a standard action on the following round to transform. In all other respects, the swarm shape ability is identical to the druids wild shape ability.
• Plague Swarm Shape (su): Can take swarm shape that is identical to that produced by an insect plague spell except that the swarm can be no more than one size larger than the MoF's. This swarm can move at half the MoF's normal speed and can fly at the same speed(clumsy man).
• Pied Piper(su): Can charm 40 hit dice of vermin or less 10/day, starting with the lowest hit dice vermin within range and moving up in hit dice until the limit is reached. The range is 100 feet and the vermin are allowed Will saves against this effect (DC14 + Cha mod), and any that make there saves can be affected by this ability for one day. Charmed vermin move towards the MoF at their land speed, taking the most direct path available. If the path leads into a dangerous area they are allowed another saving throw. Charmed vermin can take no actions other than to defend themselves. If the MoF's moves, the charmed vermin follow. This effect last for as long as the MoF concentrates. Once concentration is broken, those vermin can't be affected again by this ability for one day.
• Insect Plague(sp): Insect Plague 10/day
• Flyblown(su): Can shift to swarm shape and back as a free action
• Creeping Doom Swarm Shape (su): Can take swarm shape that is identical to that produced by an creeping doom spell except that the swarm can be no more than two sizes larger than the MoF's. This swarm can only move at 10 feet per round and can't fly.
• Creeping Doom(sp): Creeping Doom 10/day
• Awaken Vermin(sp): Can use awaken on vermin once per week at no XP cost.
• Swarm Leap(su): Can transport self over great distances. Once per day as a standard action the MoF can enter any swarm of mundane vermin (whose size equals or exceeds his own) and travel to another swarm in a single round, regardless of distance. The MoF merely designates a distance and direction, and the swarm leap ability transports him to a destination swarm as close as possible to the desired destination. He can attempt to name a specific swarm, but if no such target exist, the ability fails and the MoF is ejected from the entry swarm. Both the entry swarm and the exit swarm must be alive, but they can be either naturally occurring or summoned. Except as noted here this ability functions like the transport via plants spell.

[/sblock]
[sblock=Master of Many Forms Abilities(Comp Adv PG58)]

• Shifters Speech(ex): Retains ability to speak regardless of the form he takes. Furthermore he can communicate with other creatures of the same kind while in wild shape, as long as such creatures are normally capable of communicating with each other using natural methods.
• Improved Wild Shape(su): Can assume the forms of humanoid, giants, monstrous humanoids, fey, vermin, aberrations, plants, oozes, elementals and dragons from diminutive to gargantuan size. A MoMF also gains one additional daily use of her wild shape ability per class level.
• Fast Wild Shape(ex): Use wild shape ability as move action.
• Extraordinary Wild Shape(ex): Gain the extraordinary special qualities of any form she assumes.
• Evershifting Form(ex): Gains the shapechanger type and becomes immune to any transmutation effect unless he willing accepts it.

[/sblock]
[sblock=Natures Warriors Abilities(Comp War PG63)]

• Natures Armament(su): Armour of the Crocodile: +5 natural armour while wild shaped
• Natures Armament(su): Claws of the Grizzly: +3 bonus damage when using natural weapons
• Natures Armament(su): Earth's Resilience: DR 3/-
• Wilding(su): NW class levels stack with druid levels to determine wild shape abilities and for wild empathy checks
• +2 level of Divine Spellcasting

[/sblock]
[sblock=War Shaper Abilities(Comp War PG89)]

• Morphic Immunities(ex): Immune to stunning and critical hits
• Morphic Weapons(su): As a move action, a WS can grow natural weapons dealing damage appropriate to the size of is form. This weapons need not be natural weapons that the creature already possess. If the WS form already has a natural weapon of that type, the weapon deals damage as if it were one category larger.
• Morphic Body(su): +4 Strength and +4 Constitution
• Morphic Reach(su): +5 feet reach
• Morphic Healing(su): Fast Healing 2, and if he spends a full round action and succeeds on a Concentration check (DC equals total damage sustained) he heals 10 points of damage.
• Multimorph(su): Can change forms multiple times during the duration of the Wild Shape ability. Only the first transformation heals the WS.

Hey Jemal I see that you've started an IC thread. I've almost completed my character but I need to know if you have any issues with my character classess (see above).

 

[Lord_Raven88]

Mostly completed character

*Moved to Rogues Gallery*

 

[Jemal]

[sblock=LR]
Well, I'm a bit iffy about the Swarm shape (master of Flies)... Immunity to physical damage when there's no mages is immune to damage... I'll leave it for now, but should it become a problem, would you be able to change those Master of Flies levels to some more Master of Many Forms and keep the shifter without the swarms, or would that make the character pointless to u? I'm really not trying to screw your ideas, I just want the characters to be a good mix, and make for good fights...[/sblock]

[sblock=Jemal]That's cool, if it seems that the Master of Flies is unbalanced then I'll happily change it.

I only chose it as I wanted to find as many PrC's that would allow my character to change into different forms. Anyway Primal Elementals, Dragons and Sirrushes will be much more fun.[/sblock]

 

[Vertexx69]

and away we go IC Thread

 

[Jemal]

LR - Thank you, that would be appreciated.

Vertex - Thank you too.

 

[Jemal]

BTW, as Vertex has noted, the IC thread is up.

I need to know who has NOT completed their character and posted it in the RG. This needs to be done within the next week so I can look them over. The Tournament starts next week. The sun will rise when I get back from my vacation, and until then I'll be checking in when I can if anybody has any questions, and to make sure all the characters are done.

 

[Vertexx69]

[sblock=Shayuri]If I could offer just a couple possibly helpful suggestions.
instead of wasting 3 feats for +2 to all saves you should check out the nine pointed star from post 281, and Take some dragon feats from draconomicon (approved source) like maximized breath (like maximize spell but adds 3 rounds to your breaths cooldown) persistent breath (breath deals half initial dmg on following round) and lingering breath (makes breath stay in the area until end of next round, dealing dmg to anything that enters the area or is still in the area). Greater Pectoral of Manueverability (robe slot for dragons) increases your flight maneuverablilty by 2 classes raising yours from poor to good (which lets you hover freeing up another feats slot for other epic feats like dire charge) or 1 shot draughts of dragon breath that add dragon spell effects to your breath weapon (next round only) if your targets fail the save like: blindness 750g, stunning 1400g, 2d4 lvl drain 6k, energy admixing (add same amount of dmg in normal breath in another type ei: 10d10 cold+10d10 acid) 6k etc.[/sblock]Can we use candles of invocation?
