Heroes of Highdale OOC

[Fenris2]

I believe Scout is in Complete Adventurer, which I don't have. Sorry I'm afraid that's out. But if you want to modify a rogue we can discuss it. For example, you could swap out class skills (Bluff for Survival, maybe?). And if Scout has some class ability you really want we could swap it in for one or two dice of Sneak Attack damage.

EDIT: Or you could do the same thing starting from a Ranger if you're wanting to be more martial. Swap out your Combat Style for Trapfinding, maybe? And trade in Animal Handling for Disable Device, that sort of thing. Or you could just multiclass Ranger and Rogue to get much the same effect.

Well, I can always scan/email it too you. Easy Peasy ;-)

Or Rogue sneak attack substitution works for me... The key ability is skirmish, when you move more than 10' in a round you get the equivalent of sneak attack damage, but its applied when your char moves. Same limits otherwise, discenrabile anatomy, no undead, ec...

I've heard about skirmish. It always seemed weaker than SA to me, since you can never get a full attack off. If you prefer it to Sneak Attack, feel free to take it instead, as well as swapping some class skills (Scout includes Survival-type skills, doesn't it?).

Generally you are correct. But in this case when the dance ability kicks (dervish prc) for a few rounds each day, then he can move AND full attack - thus skirmish and get his bonus. ;-)

What are your feelings on an Effigy Master?

Always wanted to try one. The possible caveats are that like any "craft based" class, they may need downtime to make new monsters, repair and stuff. If the adventure is such that time won't be available often...I can think of other, more suitable ideas.

Warlock perhaps? Hmm! Valiant struggle for good...or perhaps feyish background. Fey warlock...mmm....

 

[Jdvn1]

EDIT: FOrgot to mention. The one player still in is Jdvn1, playing a halfling cleric named Girble Dottywell (AKA Girble the Tasty ). So the Cleric role is covered. I'm looking for a reasonably balanced party, so we'll need a sneaky skills type, an arcane caster and a combat specialist of some kind.

Though, Girble does a pretty decent job at the combat, if I may say so. Now, a Cleric to cure him wouldn't hurt...

 

[Jdvn1]

I'm game...

I will think of something to submit and should get you something by the weekend.
How's a halfling knife thrower? (Rog 3 / Fig 2 / Master Thrower 2 / Invisible Blade 4)

-Blood

How about a female halfling knife thrower?

Who happens to follow Yondalla very devoutly?

 

[Ilium]

Great! So far we have:

Bloodweaver1: Thinking of a halfling knife thrower type.

Fenris2: Looking at a scout-type dervish (I'll have to think about this combo, by the way. I'll look at Dervish in CW over the weekend). By the way, I love the "resisting the dreaming" thing. I'm not sure if it will come up in play any time soon, but it's great background.

Shayuri: Thinking of a caster. I'm good with Effigy Master. I'd like to see them in play myself. The empire of Ilium had a tradition of construct use that would certainly have included Effigy Masters. You could easily be a student of that (mostly lost) tradition. I'd also be open to warlock, but you are so far looking like the only arcane caster, so a warlock would basically mean that you have no arcane spellcaster. That's not a tragedy, but it's something to keep in mind.

Looking good everybody. I am willing to take one more if somebody is interested. Other than Girble we are noticably short on heavy hitters, but that might get mitigated by a construct as well as skirmish/sneak attack damage. Sweet.

Cool. If not go with a dervish/rogue combo likely anyway... Of course he will get a ring of blinking then... lol.

 

[Bloodweaver1]

Are you willing to allows feats that are in the XHB since they are listed in the SRD?
Specifically for the feat "Deadly Precision"?

If not, no biggy.
