[QUOTE="Jemal, post: 4171344, member: 9026"] Reveille: I've never read any of the Green Ronin stuff, but i've heard bad things about it from friends. Never even heard of Mythic creatures or Nyambe.. who're they from? As for character concepts, I'd prefer to know what 'role' you'd see them filling, rather than their race/class. Shayuri - Lookin forward to seeing it. Make it lvl 10 and I'll throw you in the starting party. Serow - Yeah, took me a while to find it too, so I figured once I did I'd post it so people would know *L* greenstar - What book are Aroma of Dreams and Sending Stones from? There's no link to your invisible castle rolls for HP. Your stats need to be changed (See below, my fault not yours) Also, I must admit I'm kinda confused by your character creation, particularily feat selection/equipment... I don't want to seem twinky, but I'd like to keep all the characters roughly even power-wise, and there are much more appropriate feats for a black mage to take, like empower/maximize spell, spell focus, spell penetration, Extra Edge, even toughness/improved initiative. I can tell you right now that unless you're taking them for prestige class purposes, Endurance will NOT come up, and the circumstancial +1 ac from dodge will rarely prove effective, especially given the low ac potential of the black-mage styled character as it is. Similarily equipment wise: Ring of sustenance - Now don't get me wrong, i love these and take them whenever possible, but with the current setup it seems less-than worth it. As a mage, you still require 8 hours of restful inactivity to regain your spells, whether it's spent sleeping or not, and as far as food/water are concerned.. well, in true RPG style, you won't have to worry about them. Belt of Many Pockets - Not sure why you'd have this AND a haversack, a simple spell pouch (10g) would suffice in the belt's place if it's components you're worried about. Aroma of dreams/Sending Stones - As stated above, not sure what these are/do. Elemental Gem - I'd actually rather you not take this more because Summoning things is a sort of niche thing in this world, so I'm reserving it for Summoners. If I were to suggest anything for a black mage styled warmage, it would be a circlet of intellect and/or cloak of charisma. ALL - I realized I hadnt posted my stat system for you guys (It's not actually IN post 93, it's afew later in post 105 cuz i forgot it), so I'll just repost it here: All stats start at 10, except your 'Prime' Stat, which starts at 18. You get 14 points to spend on a point for point basis, and can't spend more than half on any 1 stat (Meaning only your prime stat can start as an 18). EXAMPLE : Str: 10(0 points) Dex: 14(4 points) Con: 14(4 points) Int: 16(6 points) Wis: 10(0 points) Cha: 18 (Prime Stat) Then you'd get your two stat points, one at lvl 4, and one at lvl 8, which you could add wherever you wanted, plus racial and magical modifiers. (Please indicate which stats got lvl/racial/magical modifiers near the stat) Final note - I just realized that I'd posted Leita (Tailspinners character) As a white mage in my recap.. that was a mistake, I'd been thinking of Sound of Azure's character, Frida. Hmm.. this means the party actually IS lacking a white mage, unless I can manage to get ahold of Azure and lure her back. [/QUOTE]
