Industrygothica's "Those Left Behind" [OOC]

[Friadoc]

While I am purchasing 4e, I have to if I want to make sure I can still freelance in a wide area, I'm cool with just staying 3.5, too.

Not only am I a hefty Pathfinder supporter (I subscribe to all Paizo's stuff, except the novels), I still have too many 3e things I like to fully switch (like Ptolus).

But, where the DM goes, so go I.

Now on to figuring out other things...like my rolls.

 

[Friadoc]

Oh, on a side note - If I do die or get NPCed, no worries, I ain't gonna split or anything.

I'll make a new PC and go from there.

 

[Friadoc]

Okay, I'm working on my next character and I'll have him up in the proper thread, ASAP.

Now I'm actually working on a couple concepts, so if anyone has any suggestions, I'm up for it.

 

[Shayuri]

What sort of party role are you aiming for?

 

[Jemal]

Well, I'll be getting and playing 4e, so I'm not going to make any decisions on it until I've figured it out. Until I make such a decision, my votes will remain with 3.5. ESPECIALLY for ongoing campaigns. I hate edition shifting midstream.

 

[Friadoc]

No idea, really, as everything seems good to me right now.

A pure rogue is one of my ideas, as well as a fighter and a wizard, at this point.

I'm sorta leaning toward either a dwarf or half-orc for the first two and then either a human or elf for the wizard, but I'm honestly open to a lot of ideas.

I've played every core class, save for a Bard (not my cup of tea), at least once and I like them all.

Normally I play rogues, I'd say they count for a third to half my characters, with a mix of fighter and wizard to follow.

At the moment, I want to mix things as part what I want to play and part what the party needs.

Heck, it's tempting to do a dwarf or half-orc wizard, as odd as it'd seem.

Did you remember post 243?

Charisma Checks versus DC 15 Chaos Effect. (1d20=5, 1d20=17, 1d20=10, 1d20=19, 1d20=3)

So, in order, flat d20 rolls, I failed one, made one, failed one, made one, and failed one.

If I remember correctly, after this you were at 2.3 minutes and 11 Wis..

Botched the first check - Charisma Checks vs. Chaos - Checks for First minute (1d20=1)

Charisma vs Chaos - the rest of the checks for the first minute. (1d20=11, 1d20=19, 1d20=18, 1d20=7, 1d20=12, 1d20=20, 1d20=8, 1d20=3, 1d20=10)

Okay, I'm at three minutes, thus far, and at 5 will...

Charisma vs. Chaos - Second Block of Ten (1d20=2, 1d20=14, 1d20=12, 1d20=18, 1d20=13, 1d20=11, 1d20=8, 1d20=8, 1d20=3, 1d20=6)

Okay, Friadoc makes another stable check at 4 minutes, but the fifth minute on is downhill.

He is at 0 Wisdom and gone.

By my math your hit the 1 wis mark at (1d20=2, 1d20=14, 1d20=12), which is after 5.3 minutes.. cuttting it close... Then you make the next save (1d20=18), putting you up to 6.3 minutes, and fail the one after that, dropping to 0 wis (Probably inside the temple)
SO DM, is'e dead or is 6.3 minutes enough time to shout "MEDIC!!"
(That is, unless Friadoc wants to be dead..)

Meaningless Suggestion

A pure rogue is one of my ideas, as well as a fighter and a wizard, at this point. I'm sorta leaning toward either a dwarf or half-orc for the first two and then either a human or elf for the wizard, but I'm honestly open to a lot of ideas.

Heck, it's tempting to do a dwarf or half-orc wizard, as odd as it'd seem.

If wizards and rogues are your cup of tea, you might be better served by playing a Duskblade (PHII) than either of them. That class is high up on my list of characters to try.

 

[Friadoc]

It is totally up to IG, I'm cool with it, either way. I honestly thought it was six minutes from the first successful defense, not six minutes from the point of infection/affliction.

So, it's all good for me and up to IG.

As for classes, I need to check and see if I have the PHB II, as I've heard about the Duskblade, but never read about it.

Duskblade

Atually, Friadoc, now that I think about it and look more carefully at PHII, the Duskblade is more like a fighter than a rogue. No rogue-like skills, but good melee abilities, including 8-sided hit dice, and fighter progression in BAB. Not just a tremendous selection of spells, but at least they are spontaneous casters like sorcerers and bards.
