Nice roll--you know what Rhaka's new name is now, right? Tank!

Technically you don't gain the new level until the next time you rest and reflect over your experiences, though

 

[Nonlethal Force]

Yeah, I know. But I figure that can't be too far off, right? After all ... you did give us the XP so you surely want us to use it.

Absolutely--I did say to go ahead and calculate the level up now

Hey ... do you allow the Vigor chain of spells? Just curious. Picking new 1st level spells and I was debating between a CLW and a Lesser Vigor. I like the concept of Vigor being more outside combat than the immediate healing of CLW. Anyway, just curious if you allow the chain of spells or not.

No, I don't allow Vigour (nor most things from Complete Divine).

Also--I guess I'm going to need to explain how I work the divine caster's 'know every spell on the spell list' thing again. I'm really surprised fewer GMs do it my way, as it is quite a bit unfair to do it in such a way that the divine caster automatically gets all new spells from non-PH supplements added to their lists without lifting a finger.

I allow divine casters to learn non-PH spells from prayerbooks and scrolls for the same price as a Wizard would. Otherwise, they just get the entire PH list to start out for free, as usual. On a case-by-case basis, I may allow swapping away a PH spell for a non-PH spell when a new level of spells is learned.

Okay. I think I have all PHB spells selected. I think. But then again I am tired. Also, I have updated my character sheet for your viewing should you like to look.

Cool And trust me, it is definitely not because I'm one of those 'core-rules-only' GMs that I do this (you can see me weigh in on the other side in just about all the threads that come up on the issue). It's more that it is completely unfair to just give the divine classes the new spells on their lists for nothing. I probably won't make it hard for you to find CD spells that I allow if you ever want to go the route of learning them. Of course, since you are VoP, you're not going to be able to offer money, so you'll need to perform an equivalent service for the knowledge, but that should be fun to RP

To be honest, this is my first time out with a druid. And I am a type of person that can be completely happy within CORE anyway. I don't see it as a problem. I just like the flavor of Vigor's healing better than the cure spells for Rhaka. But its only a minor thing, either will work.

I'm willing to allow something with more of Vigour's flavour, but Lesser Vigour as written is far too effective as an after-battle heal compared to the baseline CLW, so if we nerf it to something lower like 7 rounds + level (maximum 12), I'd be willing to consider it
