Lost Vault of Tsazthar Rho - Organization/OOC Thread

[Sebastian O]

Jemal:

Well, Avalon already solved the mystery of starting gold for the swahbuckler...thanks Avalon!

As for the setting, it's going to be very generic. This adventure is really all about the dungeon, anyway. There is a small town to start out in, and we will assume that the party is new to the area...travelling, fledgling adventurers, looking to make a name for themselves.

You can certainly make up any kingdoms, cities, or towns you want to include as part of your character's background, but these details are not likely to play any direct part in the game.

As for the skill set...basically, the most useful will be those needed for dungeoneering. So, obviously, knowledge skills are useful for identifying traits of various monsters. Profession checks are probably not too important. As for Craft skills, also probably not too useful for this adventure, but could be more useful down the road if this develops into more of an extended campaign.

Hope that helps!

[Jemal]

cool, noted. I was just curious b/c I've got like 7 skills to Max out.

Also, not sure how you feel about variant rules, but...
I've decided I want my character (Reginald) to be a Prince from another kingdom, and I was wondering if we could do something to reflect his growing up like that...

I've seen a variant fighter option from a mongoose book called 'noble' that gave a fighter bonus gold (I think it was like double or something), in exchange they lost heavy armour proficiency, tower shield proficiency, and had to spend 10% extra on any non-magical thing they bought until lvl 5, to reflect that they're used to 'top quality' merchandise.

Since i don't have proficiency in heavy armour/shield, I was thinking maybe something similar..
Maybe I could gain a free MasterWork onto one item in exchange for loosing something else? Skill points? Smaller HD?


OR Maybe An alteration of the Swashbuckler's Class skills to include more 'courtly' skills and get rid of some that he wouldn't have had access to?

Just a couple thoughts... Feel free to say no...


EDIT: Also, Prince Reginald of Flynn has been updated in the RG, just waiting on your answers before doing Skills/Equipment.

Jemal:

In light of the noble background, I would be willing to expand the amount of gold he starts with (but with a more substantial penalty...something more than just loss of skill points). I'd rather go with extra gold, rather than a free masterwork, though. If you can come up with a penalty that is suitable, I'll consider additional gold seriously.

I would also be fine with swapping in some different class skills. What specifically were you looking for?

Jemal:

I also was thinking that a spked chain is kind of a weird weapon choice for someone of noble upbringing, hmm?? Maybe a bit of further explanation in the b/g would be in order.

 

[Jemal]

Uh, I wasn't really planning on making his choice of Spiked Chain a big deal, just something that kinda happened.. He and his brother were playing around with the weapons, and they migrated to some of the more 'strange' ones, learnign their use because they were strange, and finding them "cool".


As for the extra gold, i guess I'm going to have to forget about it. I've got nothing else to give up, I'm not willing to forsake Feats or Class features for a couple hundred gold. I'll just say he grabbed what he could when he left.

I'm thinking on the skills thing.

Okay, I'm cool with that.

Sure thing, just let me know when he's all done.

Changes made, sorry for the mistakes =P
I think the gold is correct, but as all i have made this far, it may have mistakes
Sorry again

Voda:

Hey, no need to apologize! We are all here to help each other out. Okay, Trombin is almost done, I just need two more things.

First, we still need a second prohibited school for him. Enchantment is one, what would you like the other to be? Remember, Divination is not allowed as a choice.

The second thing is that it appears you shorted Trombin 5 gold pieces. It looks like you may have had him spend money on his clothing, but actually he can have that for free. Go ahead and increase his money to 71 gold.

Those are the last two fixes for him, he's almost done!

 

[Jemal]

hmm, btw.. you know how everybody has a 'free' set of clothes?
Don't suppose that could count as Courtiers or Noble's outfit + Signet ring for the prince, does it?

*almost done w/Character btw*
