(Inactive) Psion's Return to the Tomb of Horrors (ORG)

[Psion]

Do you have time for that? If you do, I would be happy to have some help finding an image. And more than content to let whoever does the finding decide which image they like.

Well, did you check Claudio Pozas' gallery?
http://www.enworld.org/Pozas/dnd_races.html

If there's nothing there that works for you, there's some stuff I can dig up at home. Or it there is something in one of the WotC books you like, you can go to their art gallery and clip it.

 

[Psion]

Psion, I have decided that my character will be one of the elemental variants from UA. Thus my character will be an Air Gnome Beguiler named Ahrim Whisperwind.

It appears I led you astray.

The racial variants I referred to are the environmental ones (desert, jungle, arctic), not the elemental ones. Does your build rely on the air thing? Consider some of the environmental variants. If those don't work for you, we may have to come up with a background explaining your character's presence on the world as an air gnome.

As an aside, a gnome illusionist almost natural leads one to consider the Shadowcraft mage from Races of Stone. What are your feelings towards that class? If I went for that class, I probably wouldn't take complete advatage of the shadow conjurations, it will be difficult enough playing a class that can spontaneously cast its entire spell list.

I'll have to see. I know there are some abuses for the class.

Go to www.invisiblecastle.com, go to roll dice (or just bookmark http://invisiblecastle.com/rolldice.py, as you will be using it often.) Put your character name and what the roll is for. You can make it add modifiers.

Thanks for that Psion. I'll bookmark it. It also clears things up for me in regards to Power Attack and similar things that modify attack rolls. I'll just use the notes section to let you know how much I am putting into Power Attack each time.

I'll work on the characters in the next few days and see what I can post up. At this stage I am going to have either a Dwarf, Human or Half-Orc Barbarian 14 as my main character and a Human Wizard 14 as my alternate.

Peja testing...

Took a while but I think I figured out how to link directly to a thumbnail, rather than the actual image.

If you're still looking for an alternate I'll toss my hat into the ring. I'm a regular PBPer on the WotC boards and can fit in as required. Just had the neat mindflayer game concept fall off the wheels here so looking for another game.

Cheers,

thramzorean@yahoo.com

will be one way to reach me but most reliable will be PM.

If you pick one you like, I can upload it to my web space and give you a link.

That'll close it up. Please give me your primary and secondary concept.

Here's a name for my character:

Teristiand Arna (Teri for short), male human Ftr 14

I haven't stat'd him up yet, but he's going to have Wpn Focus / Spec / Mastery in scimitar, Improved Crit. Plus of course Robilar's Gambit. I was thinking about also squeezing in Karmic Strike (CW), but it may be redundant with the Gambit.

Picking magic items is going to take forever. I may just restrict myself to the DMG to make it go faster.

This Advice May Help Everyone Pick Magic Items

If you need some help picking items, take a look at the appendix of the PHB II. It gives you some pretty good guidelines on tooling up a character.

Awww poopy pants, looks like I got alted. ;-) Anyway, I am making up that ardent, and was interested in the metamorphisis item below

http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/items/universalItems.htm#skinofProteus

The idea is to have a shape shiftin' melee beast. A few questions come to mind.

1) I see its CL 7th which means 7hd max. But, if you create an item, you can set the level. How does that effect cost? Linearly, I presume?

2) The power talks about no more advantageous than normal attacks, but what is normal? What you turn into, or you? That gets a bit messy with the "natural" attacks and iterative attacks. I.e. say a AB 6/1 and you turn into a tiger with 3 attacks + (maybe) 2 rakes. So, do you get 2 iterative atacks as per your AB, or do you get to make all 3 + (maybe) 2 of the tiger, but with a BAB of 6 in this case an no iteration?

3) No size limit expressed in power? Unlike, polymorph, that leaves hydra open. A really ouchie, depending on answer to #2 and #1 above...

4) The power says each time you change back and forth you get a days rest in HP. Well, the abuse here should be danged obvious. Someone not thinking here I assume? Seems that needs a HR
