Malvoisin's Savage Tide OOC Thread *Resurrected*

[GwydapLlew]

Sasserine was founded over 700 years ago (-124 CY) by a cleric of Wee Jas named Sasserine. She died killing a black dragon, and her lover, Teraknian, founded the city in her honor. The city flourished under the rule of the Lord Mayor and the support of the churches of Wee Jas and Kord. In 480 CY, Lord Mayor Orren Teraknian was in charge, and persecuted the Jasidian faith. It was during his reign that the Sea Princes appeared.

They promised to overthrow the unjust Lord Mayor and the populace rose up in arms to support the Sea Princes. The Sea Princes ruled the city until 584 CY, taking every bit of wealth that they could from the city and keeping its existence a secret from the mainland through assassination and magical deceptions.

In 584 CY, the Scarlet Brotherhood assassinated the Sea Princes, and the residents of Sasserine were able to oust the remaining holdouts. It has been over a decade since that time, and Sasserine has been rebuilt and wealth is flowing again into the city. There is a small embassy to the Scarlet Brotherhood here, but the city rules itself again.

I think I'm pretty much done with chargen, Mal. Take a look over Chongo and see if I'm missing anything.

My vague intent is to go Barbarian 10/Fighter 3/Rogue 2/Thief-Acrobat/5. (The Thief-Acrobat will represent his climbing and jumping ability more than actual acrobatic skill.) If that doesn't fly, then I'm perfectly willing to keep him going the Barbarian route.

Okay, I'll have a look over Chongo and let you know what I see.....

Your planned character progression looks fine to me.

[SBLOCK]I've got a proposal for a custom feat. I don't think there is any WotC feat that does the following from any source I have but it is close to a thief class feature in the Everquest RPG PH. I'd like to spend a feat to have search for traps work like the elf search for secret doors, i.e. you just make a check or take 10 if Kalen walks within 5' of one. This would cut down on rolling and asking for checks which are cumbersome in pbp games in my experience.[/SBLOCK]

Voadam,

[sblock]I'm pretty leery about this, unfortunately. It seems like an extremely powerful ability to be gained for just the use of one feat slot. While I agree that searching for traps can be a little cumbersome in the PbP format, I just don't think I'm comfortable with that solution. Sorry.[/sblock]

 

[Malvoisin]

Gwydap,

One thing I can see right away for Chongo's sheet is that his ability spread is a bit too high.

Str 16, Dex 12, Con 14, Int 12, Wis 12, Cha 10

That's 10 +4 +6 +4 +4 +2 = 30

Needs to be a 28 point buy.

[SBLOCK]No problem. I'll choose another valid feat [/SBLOCK]

Hey guys,

For those of you who have used SBLOCK spoiler tags on your character sheets, can I ask you to go ahead and remove those? There's really no need to conserve space in the Rogue's Gallery, and to be honest, I just find them to be a pain when I want to see your character's stats.

Thanks very much!

I'm just sblocking the temporary background that isn't official until we flesh out the official backgrounds later (which I assume we are doing after the magazine arrives?).

No problem, stone.

Yep, I'd like to see the actual issue of Dungeon before backgrounds are finalized.
