IG's "Those Left Behind" [OOC-2]

[Shayuri]

No worries, Scott. I just wanted to be sure we were all on the same page as far as the battle's difficulty. The presence of trolls, when we haven't a significant supply of acid/fire, means we need to fix that problem before coming back. Tal's lightning won't keep them down, and Shai may have Produce Flame, but that doesn't do enough damage to put down a troll. Not to mention we've already blown a lot of spells today.

Leif, I don't know much about cleric builds, so I can't help you there. The only cleric I've seen in action is a 'laser' cleric, and he's pretty awesome. I've no idea what build he is though.

Oh dont worry Shay. i am just playing Caerwyn the way he was built, as a Paladin of freedom to Kord. He will not be doing any thing to jepordize the party.

Yeah you be careful with him, I don't want him all dinged up when I take over, he'd better be in mint, or at least, near mint condition

Re: cleric - personally battle cleric's are pretty weak, unfortunately, as the focus of powers seems to be on ranged clerics, especially in Divine Power. Now you could multi-class as a different class and maybe try and pick up a few powers from that class, but it's pretty hard because you also need your feats for weapons/armor/shield proficiencies.

I've attached a battle cleric I made for another game, his Paragon Path grants proficiency with Light + heavy shields, which is definitely necessary for a melee cleric. Funny enough his AC is higher than Caerwyn's when I statted him up (because Caerwyn uses a two-handed weapon)

I think I've been channeling Shai, since it hadn't even occured to me to take our magic resources into account before I had him go whispering. And poor Dyspeer. Such a reliable wolf with such a bumbler of a companion. I think he's a lovable bumbler, mind you, but a bumbler nonetheless.

So, OOC, I'm all for a retreat, assuming Shai hasn't already gotten us in hot water.

Uh, right. sure. never been used in combat. uh huh!

Had a bit of a scare, since my DDI expired but I couldn't find the paragon multiclass version of Shai that I thought I posted here. Luckily, I seem to have foreseen this possibility even though I didn't remember, as I found a PDF of that version in my mail.

In any case, Shai / Dyspeer are in the new Character thread.

The background in that version isn't especially descriptive insofar as Shai's northern barbarian tribe. I was pondering a few things, but figured I could add them as text in the entry instead of on the sheet and it wouldn't impact much.

Sounds good to me. Thanks.

Rogash is maybe 2/3rds finished. I've got work to do on upper level powers and equipment still. I'll have him ready some time this weekend.

As for Cleric builds, the shield cleric is pretty cool. The last battle cleric I did tried to do ranged and melee and it just didn't work that well. The ranged stuff is the way to go imho.

 

[industrygothica]

Shayuri, Add another daily power to that staff: Daily, summon 1 standard undead creature of half the caster's level or lower.

 

[renau1g]

1 standard monster right? no level 5 solo

Hmm, IG was wanting our characters to be generally the same as they are now, just 4E. Uulark is not much for missile weapons, you know. The Shield Cleric build sounds good, as does a melee Battle Cleric. Hmmm, think I'll probably go with the Shield Cleric build. Should have him up tomorrow, too, IG. L12, right?
