How much money does a 12th level character have to purchase goods?

 

[Falkus]

While we are all respectable individuals

Speak for yourself. Dyria's wanted for murder in two seperate countries . Of course, that's probably one of the things she wouldn't put on her resume .

I see Dyria as being new to the organization.

As for names, well, I'm drawing a blank. I'm no good with names. My d20 Modern campaign is populated with Mr. Smiths and Mr. Jones.

13th is 110k... do you need 12th for some reason?

I would vote that our base in long standing. Crimson can be one of the existing members, I think she have around 6-8 ranks in Knowledge local, etc. to cover something like that.

She's just the odd sorceror type that most others can't figure out.

I should be able to wrap up equipment shortly.

Didn't know how you wanted to do the ECL thing, so I went with one level lower than the others, just to be on the safe side. Because 12 class levels + 1 racial level equals thirteen. suuu.... That's how I did it. Honestly, 12 is fine and I figure I'll catch up soon enough.

I'll happily take the 110k for the total levels though.

To be this big and successful and to get all the proper authorizations to let so much raw power be concentrated in private (and non-noble) hands requires that things be relatively above-board and known to the lords.

I like the idea that a couple characters (perhaps those with leadership) founded the organization, and when they brought in people of similar power, they had to grant them partner status rather than hiring them as simple employees.

OK, so how about this. All of us helped some good nobles and they recommended that we meet. Hypersmurf and my character, since we had followers, founded the organization but since it lacked more powerful heroes, we asked the rest to join (again, at the noble's request or recommendation). So, in effect a few noble patrons oversaw the birth of our order. This gives some legitimacy.

I definitely like Eltern's idea that this will be the first time we all work as an integrated team. Hypersmurf's and my character cohorts could have done some work together in the past (maybe in another city), but it's the first time for all of us in waterdeep, sort of a trial by fire.

I would also love this organization to be secret, at the noble's request, so as not to attract unwanted attention.

Hey DM_Matt, would we have a base of operations, potentially donated (or lent) to us by a (or a few) nobles? Maybe there could be a facade business (like a leather workshop or a tailor house) and our training facility and headquarters could be beneath
The fact that we have a bunch of priests among us would also mean that the good churches approve of us.

What do y'all think?

As for the name, how about simply "the hidden shield".

Also, how exactly do you determine stats and gold for cohorts?

Cheers,

The Stalwart Shield?

The Deep Shield? for waterdeep

Another quick question concerning cohorts.

Can I also assume a +3 bonus (like Hypersmurf)? So level+cha bonus +3?

Also, Hypersmurf, you're missing 1 level 1 cohort (the sum is 49)

Cheers,

SG

 

[Eltern]

I second everything Steve said

Hidden Shield is kind of neat. Might be good. We need to take a poll.

 

[Hypersmurf]

Oops!

I was assuming Level + Cha mod +2 - for a base of operations.

Problem was, I was thinking my Cha mod was +5...!

I'll adjust.
