Ga, go away for 5 days, fall behind in both homework and Story Hours and come back to a near TPK. Dang. I was expecting Pez to die, though I didn't want him too. He just didn't have enough HP to stand a good strong fight. But I didn't expect our Battlerager to go down and I figured Rusty would usually survive.
Ouch.
On the other hand the Avoral is one of the races in SS I've been wanting to try (along with Earth Elemental and Sucubus) so it'll be interesting how this turns out.
Iit does occur to me though. Party make-up:
Too bad we didn't get Ajax while Pez was still around. That would have been interesting and eye opening. Even more fun if Ajax had been female. A forbidden love afair between the new incarnations of Entropy and Joachim. Classic.

Iit does occur to me though. Party make-up:
- Caine. Pacifist type built from ED. Extremely good aligned.
- Ajax. Avoral. Think Pez only with more Good and a lot less Law.
- Rusty. Just a guess from what JollyDoc said.
- Tilly and Wathros

Hey Lela, thanks for your comments. Actually Ajax is an Astral Deva (Angel) not a Avoral (Guardinal). Minor difference, but Ajax's alignment is CG and the Guardinals are all NG.
Also, the thief and the druid are CG and NG respectively. So actually the whole party is good.
Interestingly, both Ajax and Caine are run strictly using the optional rules-set in the BoED. Both are "exalted" PCs and are therefore held to an extremely high standard of good. Ajax can't really violate these tenets due to his very nature and Caine loses ALL of his special abilities irrevocably.
Actually after the first day of play (tonight) we had a really good time with all the PC interactions. I think you will enjoy the dialogue when JollyDoc posts to the SH at the end of this week.

Absolutely incredible !!! I never expected this to happen!
As sad as I am to see Pez return to his home plane, I am really looking forward to seeing Caine in combat. I think it will be a lot easier to play Caine without Gardrid in the party - that way the party might actually try the peaceful approach. Maybe he'll even pacify Entropy in the end...
Please hurry up with your next update, JollyDoc, you can't leave us hanging here like this. I'll try to think of some party names in the mean time.
Nice PC introductions, gfunk, and congratulations on a character well done! What were your alternative PC choices?

Hey,I just thought of a name about that group!"The holy trio plus two"!(anyone who reads KODT will get the joke).
I'd really like to see Caine's role in battle,especially against undead and constructs,which seem to be his weak points.He has no means of affecting them.I guess he'll act as party buffer at those times.On the other hand how does Vow of Peace affect objects and mindless undead?
Is it a violation of the code,for example,to cast Shatter against a Crystalline Golem?

Thanks, it was my pleasure and I'm glad you enjoyed it.Neverwinter Knight said:
My alternative PC choices were:
1) Astral Deva bow specialist
2) Monk (w/ Vow of Poverty) his AC was 31 in his underwear b/c all the Exalted AC benefits stack with his monk abilities
3) Wizard (who PrC into Celestial Mystic)
4) Cleric (who would go Cleric 10/Apostle of Peace 10 for his progression)
5) Eleven ranger bow specialist
These are all the builds I can remember off the top of my head.

What happened to Raphael and his player? Did you lose the new guy beneath an avalanche of power gaming?
A pity if he's gone - it would have been interesting to see how his style of Paladin would have interacted with these new characters.
