Into the New World - Recruitment OPEN (Current players stay OUT!)

I really like that she basically is a poltergeist with that Night Haunt feat Fits in well with her backstory.

Agreed. I really like the flavor of those feats; they were probably my favorite part of Complete Arcane.

I need HD to determine size, which will change to Large when i level up to 3rd, but you're right about the HPs. Thanks for the heads up.

Zurai, whats the Vitality of my wolf at 2d8+4 HPs? Do i go with the 12 i rolled or ?

Animal companions do NOT gain size from leveling as an animal companion. Your wolf will be medium forever. Basically, he's not gaining Animal HD (which would advance his size but not much else), he's gaining Animal Companion HD (which don't advance his size but give him a ton of other benefits). That being said, I allow players of druids and rangers to 'upgrade' normal animals to Dire animals at the appropriate level; in other words, Fluffy the Wolf can turn into Fluffy the Dire Wolf at level 4 or whatever level it is. Story-wise, he would just have been a younger Dire Wolf rather than an adult Wolf.



VP: I just realized I never mentioned how we're going to handle vitality points for levels past 1 PCs get max VP at level 1, as usual. Non-PCs (such as animal companions) and PCs advancing past level 1 get 3/4 of the maximum result of the hit die. If the result isn't an even number (d6, d10), alternate rounding up then down.

Example: Your wolf with HD of 2d8+4 would have 6+6+4 = 14 Vitality Points and 14 Wound Points.

 

[Dire Lemming]

Wha? I can't just have 59 halves hit points?

I'll be reviewing Erin, Cleyra, Enko, and Ryon tonight after I get back from my RL game. Assuming only minor tweaks are needed to the character sheets, the game will start in the next day or two.

So you guys can get started on how you're going to approach the start of the game, here's the general scene info:

Late spring
Bronzemarket
Travelling trader in town with a 6-horse team full of goods
~95% of the people in the area are in town for the market and trader
Impromptu festival planned for the night

so, start thinking of what you're going to want to do.

Umm... isn't 6+6+4 16? I could be wrong y'know? Like, it might be a house rule.

[Dire Lemming]

What's Bronzemarket?

Anyway, I suppose Enko would be interested in any new seeds or plants the merchant has. As usual, trying to avoid Eleinya, as usual, infatuated with Artimisia, though less nervous now that he's gotten over puberty. I suppose he's recently gotten back from a trip, so maybe he'll take a bath. What else...

 

[Zurai]

Umm... isn't 6+6+4 16? I could be wrong y'know? Like, it might be a house rule.

WarShrike

Err... oops? You're right, 16. Usually I can at least do basic arithmetic...

What's Bronzemarket?

What's it sound like? Bronzemarket is the 1/month market day where Anakletos opens up his forge for general repair work and so on, and sells the bronze goods he and his apprentices have completed over the past month.

 

[Dire Lemming]

Ok, well I guess Enko will want to have his tools repaired as well then. Hm, I've been thinking, with his charisma score he's got to have some friends, but I haven't thought up any that are still alive and that he isn't afraid to be in the presense of. :\

He needs a wingman when he makes his move on Artimisia! Or something like that...

 

[Lorthanoth]

Does everyone in the group have really high Charisma? I thought I was going to be odd in making it my highest stat, but obviously not... We're obviously the future leaders of Bronzo-world! (um... maybe not...)
