Heroes, Inc - Heroic Mercs in FR OOC Thread

[Eltern]

Yo. Just spent the whole day driving from Indianapolis to Pittsburgh, where FlyingCupcake lives. We're going to make our characters tomorrow and they -will- be up by tomorrow evening. Promise

In case anyone cares, FlyingCupcake will be a elderly female human Dervish, and I will be a barrel-chested human front line fighter type, who has "specialized" in being pretty good at a wide array of combat tactics. I hate being a one trick pony.

....Rick: You might want to get that Con raised. Also, your HP is wrong. It should be (6-2)+13(3.5-2), so 4+20 = 24.

...

I copied it as I first set it up except for the HPs..... Let me go back and figure out how I want to revamp the con (either magical items or stat changes or both)

Edit. I am subtracting 2 from dex. that gives me enough pointbuy points to raise the con up to 12. Therefore my hps per level will increase from -2 to +1, a 3hp per level increase. I will drop the dex skill levels as needed. I will adjust my saving throws as well. My AC will not change because my armor did not allow me to fully max my dex bonus.

My Paladin is up in the rogues gallery thread for your review. I know I'm in line behind a lot of other guys so please consider me an alternate.

Thanks,

Frostrune

A cat swarm will be a L-3 companion with 4hd and a 10 base con, made up of tiny creatures.

BTW, Frostrune, since you were the first alternate to post a char, you are the first alternate on the wait list.

Cool - I'll work from there.

Last question on this one - there's a thread in Rules on the topic - How do you see the interaction of the Natural bond feat with alternative companions?

I'd say you get the benefit. Some official source said that Practiced Spellcaster is applied in the order of operations most favorable to the character, so based on that precedent I rule that Natural Bond works the same way since it is the same type of feat (a catchup feat for those who take options that put them behind in an area). If an L20 true Necromancer with an Iouns Stone, a ring of arcane might, that cleric ankh thing, and PS twice can cast her best spells at W25/C25, you can have a better swarm of cats.

Cool - I'll swap out Spell Penetration, then.

It's much harder to buff a swarm than a giant crocodile - most of the normal standbys (Animal Growth, Barkskin, Magic Fang) target a specific number of creatures, so swarms are immune. Figure the poor kitties need all the help they can get!

The enigmatic friend of Eltern here - Just saying hello, yes I do exist, and I've just broken my ENWorld posting virginity by putting up my character's stats. As a relative newcomer to D&D (6 months or so), I hope you can deal with with my lack of knowledge with some of the rules This seems like its going to be a pretty fun campaign, and I can't wait to get started.

I've named Fin's cats; they're in his stat block in the Rogues' Gallery thread.

(What a mission!)

Without looking are they numbered? Do they all have the same name?

About 5 years ago a US company had a commerical of Texas cowboys herding cats. Ever see it?
