That would mean I'd only lose Unholy Blight and Desicrate, which, as an exalted character, I couldn't/wouldn't use anyway. I can probably get that past the DM and it would certainly be worth the +2 level adjustment. Any suggestions on how I work the level adjustment? Also, do you think the Succubus' natural armor and the ascetic natural armor stack? Nah, probably not.

I was looking at Caine. He's a fun guy to study. I'm thinking of using him as an NPC, if that's all right with you. What do you generally (plan to) use the Divine Inspiration for?

Another thing to consider is that I doubt any LG (or LN for that matter) deity would be willing to give paladinic status to a non-sanctified CE Outsider

But, hey, being sanctified isn't all that bad. You get a useful aura and eye-rays among other benefits. Kind of remind me of Superman actually ..

As Mortepierre mentioned, you do get some nifty abilities in exchange for the LA. Also, most sources of natural and magical armor stack in 3.5, check the Vow of Poverty description. If it says "an enhancement bonus to N. AC," then it stacks.

Of course, have fun!

I plan on using divine inspiration for buffing up party members who go into combat.

Yeah, I knew that. I didn't think to look though. Doh!

Does SS have rules or recomendations for advancing by monster class when a level adjustment has to be factored in?

That's what I was thinking but I wasn't sure if that would infringe on your oath or not. Technically, you're not the one hitting them, so you're okay there but you are making them better at hitting. A bit of a gray area, I'd think.

Good point - it could be interpreted as furthering violence. But as I understand Caine, he knows that his friends do not follow his values. Instead of forcing them on the others, Caine tries to convince them by example (which had already rubbed off on Wathros). The reason for buffing your friends would not be so that they can deal out as much damage as possible, but rather to help them stay alive.

As a DM, I could live with an interpretation of the sort.

 

[Lela]

Yeah, I think JollyDoc would be okay considering the view on Jules. Still, I thought I'd ask.

While it is true that Caine is a pacifist, he's also a survivalist, and he won't survive for long if his travelling companions fall before the minions of evil, so enhancing their chances of survival does not go against his grain. As far as Jules is concerned, he is a free-willed creature. Just because his master is a peace-nik doesn't mean he has to be. Of course, this could bring some interesting role-playing situations up.

Thanks for the profuse praise Mortpierre, and welcome to our story hour!

So, have you guys been playing this campaign at all recently? I'm curious to hear the details of how the 5th adventure is going down. We'll be starting Demonskar Legacy next week.

We have played two sessions of it so far, and it is going well. Our game was on hiatus this last weekend (Superbowl), and will be again this coming weekend (Gfunk's fiance' in town). So, we will resume on Valentine's weekend. Hopefully, this will give G some time to get caught up on updates.

 

[Lela]

Hmmm, perhaps not with the GF coming to town. And with it taking the place of Valentines Day. Busy man, there.

Question though. Will it be a Valintines Day theamed game? Old lovers coming back. Romance in the air. It could be, at the very least, interesting.
