Gaming W/Jemal : Prisoners!!(Inmates Chosen)

RE: Fabricate
I'd say that a "high degree of craftsmanship" is anything that couldn't be made by your average commoner. (IE anything with a DC above 10.)
That'd get you, like a mud hut, a hovel, etc.
Anything that doesn't look like a 'temporary dwelling (An actual house, log cabin, bricks, etc) would require some sort of craft check (Though I'd give you synergies from the Knowledge skill)

Ethandrew - Excellent. *burns voice*

Avalon - those Spells are acceptable.

[sblock=Soul Bond]
As to the Soul Bond, here's how it'll work :
You don't know who you're bonded to, The only way to find out is through death, or NEAR-death. If such a thing happens, here's how it works:
When one partner is killed (by anything), his other partner can attempt a Fortitude save (DC = combined level of the two partners).
Failure means they both die from the same thing.
Success means that the still living partner has managed to 'save' their soul-buddy by diverting some of their own life energies to sustain them. The 'dead' partner is returned to the brink of death as though they hadn't actually 'died' (In essence the energy is transferred in time to save them). The other partner is reduced to the same state(Level drained, Con Drained, -9HP, Drowning, Starving, etc) but can make a constitution check (DC = 5+level) to stay conscious.
Unconscoius partners automatically fail fort saves to keep their partner alive, meaning if you're both unconscious and one dies, you both die.

Undead - Undead work a little differently with the soulbond.. If THEY die, they can STEAL life energy from their partner. In this case, the Dieing one (if undead) makes a Will save (dc=5+combined level). If they succeed on this, they are at the brink of destruction and their partner is unconscious and near-death. If the undead fails it's will save, they become *mindless* undead and the partner must make a fort save(dc=10+combined level) or join them. Either way the partner dies. *If both are undead to begin with, the partner's final fort save doesn't happen and they both become mindless undead*

If the undead's partner dies, the living one makes a fort save (DC=combined level). Failure means they become undead like their partner. (they still have a mind, but gain the Undead Type and a +1 LA).
If they fail by more than 5, both become mindless undead.
Success = same as though their partner was living. (they're both on the brink of death, save vs unconsciousness).

So it would appear that our heroic antipaladin will be appearing equipped with nothing but his undergarments, and the symbol of his order clutched in his hand.

That's a scarier image than my deathknight could ever pull off!!
 



Mei Ying is up!

She buffs out nicely with Greater Heroism and a pretty monstrous AC for level 13...

She's also suprisingly good in melee with a couple of support spells and a burned spell slot to fuel her melee might. I calculate I can get her to flurry with +18/+18/+13 doing 1d6+8 damage per blow. An amusing circumstance for the warrior who takes the usual, "Rush into melee with the mage" tactic. :)

Of course, being at range isn't much better. An empowered force orb and quickened scorching ray will connect for an average of 95 damage. Ow.

And that runestaff of power makes me VERY happy. It adds some much-needed flexibility in attacks and defenses. Not to mention some very in-concept luck bonuses to AC and saves.

All told, I really like this character and build. I think I'll make it so she rides on discs of force all day...instead of walking. Mwah!
 

I was just looking at everyones characters and based on everyone's alignment, party interaction will be interesting.

There are 2 Lawful Good characters, 2 Lawful Evil characters, 1 Neutral and 1 Chaotic Evil character.

Apart from Xing'dao Li the CE Illumian most of us should be able to act together although I expect there to a lot of moral debate (which will bore Quill to death). Let's just hope that the LG character's aren't bound to the evil characters, otherwise they might decide to sacrifice themselves for the greater good. Which would be pretty hillarious :D

Also it isn't going to be obvious that Quill is a guard as he took a few seconds to change his outfit and appearance before stepping thru the portal. Can all of you who went thru the processing centre raise your hand, as presumably Quill would have read your rap sheets before you were thrown into the portal. I guess I could alway use Quills Profession (Prison Guard) skill to determine what he remembers about you.
 

I expect Mei to have a very Zen perspective on the whole thing. We're all on our own journeys, facing our own struggles and challenges. She'll feel sorry for those who have not moved beyond the elementary spiritual conditions of fear, greed, and selfishness that mark some of us, but won't feel compelled to DO anything about them...though she may feel compelled to intervene should their actions burden her conscience. :)

As for processing...I think I decided she got banished directly here by divine will. So...not really processed. I don't think the gods of her world are aware that this plane is actually a formal "prison." All they know is that when someone goes here, they don't come back. Ever. Not even on the wheel of reincarnation. To them, therefore, it's kind of like a black hole. Since no one ever comes back, no one's ever told them what it's like. Thus, they toss people in there, when they want to -erase- them from reality. If they knew there was a processing procedure, they'd probably follow it. The Jade Emperor is a lawful sort of guy. :)

To be fair, Eoghan really isn't Evil in mindset, he just made a huge mistake and is paying for it, probably being curtailed by some evil diety too, hoping to mold him into some unholy weapon.

And he wasn't sent through processing, so I'm sorry, but Eoghan's hand remains firmly down.

As for the character who is fluent in all languages (I forget who offhand)... Thank you.

Being fluent and literate in all languages very much suits Quill as it enables him to blend in easily into any world he visits (hence the high Know[Planes]) and since he is also telepathic it means he can communicate with anyone who has a language.

Quill is also more than happy to be the translator in the party, just don't be surprised if he trims the odd translation to suit his purposes. I think it will be quite funny when Quill starts reducing page sized rants to monosyllabic responses.
