Industrygothica's "Those Left Behind" [OOC]

[Shayuri]

Ahh, then check out Complete Arcane. There is a monk/arcanist PrC in there called the Enlightened Fist. Gives you energy damage to unarmed attacks and so on. You do lose a caster level or two, but if you're making a true "gish" that might not be such a big deal.

 

[Scott DeWar]

that sounds more like what i was thinking of. thanks. looking it up now.

edit:
Fond it and i like what i have seen in a quick glance. I now have to sell the Idea to the dm. only one hitch i cna find. i have already taken ascetic mage which copies much of the first level effects, just not as good, and allows advancement in the monk class. I hope my dm allows me to possibly trade out a feat for that.

thank you once again.

 

[Shayuri]

Well, the primary bonus of Ascetic Mage is the usage of Charisma to determine AC bonus.

That's huge, as long as you're a sorceror.

 

[Scott DeWar]

there is also the sacrifice of a spell to gain a + in attack and damage = to level of spell. as you had pointed out, the chrisma mod thing. he has a 14 wisdom and 18 chr meaninghe would lose 2 points of AC if i were to take te Prc.

I am finding this to be a tough decision. I talked yesterday with my dm and he liked the idea, just that we have noted what i would be losing and gaining. Very hard decision. The chrarisma thing and spell sacrifice thing are two aspects of the feat that i wish the Prc gave. I will need 'a couple of minutes' to think this over.

now that you can see what flaver i am looking for, do you know of any other Prestigue classes that might fit. I only ask because i see you play a lot of scorcerers and would be a good source for information as such.

 

[industrygothica]

semi serious question here. it actually pertains to the game!

re: protection from chaos (potion)

what would the result be if a chaotic good person were to drink a potion of that sort? wourld there even be an effect?
or would he have an aversiion to himself?
i only ask so as to know if he could even use it to protect himself from chaos creatures.

and now back to our previous scheduled goofieness.

Protection vs Alignment and Magic Circle vs Alignment have no effect on the caster (this include the drinker of a potion or the user of a scroll or item). All they do is:

1) Prevent summoned creatures (of any type or alignment) from physically contacting the subject, or crossing through the circle.

2) Provides additional protection against the attacks from creatures of the warded alignment in the form of +2 deflection to AC and +2 resistance to saves.

3) Suppresses ongoing compulsions for the duration of the spell, regardless of alignment of the caster of the compulsion.

So no, Caerwyn being chaotic in alignment would not hurt him when using protection spells vs chaos.

What Shayuri said.

 

[Shayuri]

You could take Ascetic Mage and still take Enlightened Fist. There'd be a tiny amount of overlap, but you'd keep the Cha to AC thing, which is quite worthwhile all by itself.

I don't know offhand of any other monk/mage PrC's from WotC published materials. If your GM allows the Book of 9 Swords, there's a decent mage PrC there that you could combine with that core class that gives Wis to AC...I want to say Swordmage, but I know that's wrong. Sword...something. Gah. Been ages since I looked at that book.

Anyway, it's not bad, but it may not be what you're looking for.

 

[Scott DeWar]

We have a samuri character played by a 13 year old using the BoNS, so yes we use it. I will look that up.

and IG: believe it or not, i really was concerned about how the protection from chaos worked. Thank you for the dm confirmation on that.

Glad to help, SD.

Re: Change of Venue

So I've got some pretty decent city maps that I've done up and am dying for a chance to use them. Anyone up for a change of scenery? I'll try to work it in IC, but it won't be Greyhawk anymore (not that it really matters in this case). There's actually a world that goes behind it, and I can't think of a better group to help me develop it.

[Shayuri]

Hee hee

Honestly? I didn't even know this WAS Greyhawk.

I didn't, and still don't, even know the name of the city.

So yeah, change the venue.

 

[Leif]

Nor did I know that we were supposedly in Greyhawk. (In fact, that comes as something of a shock, conidering our urban activities since I joined. Since we haven't seen a map (at least since I've been here), feel free to assume that we are now, and have always been, in whichever city makes things most convenient for you, IG.
