Malvoisin's Savage Tide OOC Thread *Resurrected*

[Malvoisin]

Mal: Do you have Complete Mage?

I don't, and unfortunately, I don't really have much of a budget for new sourcebooks now that my wife isn't working.

That said, I am open to you using material from the book, so long as everything is fully documented.

 

[Malvoisin]

I've added a little more graphical enhancement to the player's guide at the start of this thread, as well as Lord Islaran's crest, and the mysterious monster list from the secret compartment.

Neat!

 

[Legildur]

I think I've decided on a halfling or elven warmage.... choices, choices, choices.... <sigh>

Edit: Just posed Baelathavin in the RG - elf Warmage.

Still to select feat and fill out RP stuff like background, description, personality etc. And yet to select origin within Sasserine... But after midnight here and have to work tomorrow.

Any suggestions on feat?

And maybe someone will tell Col about said list.

Thanks, Mal!

Couple thoughts:
- Don't forget Bael can wear light armor and wield a light shield. So leather/studded with a buckler or light shield might be a good investment (since you don't get mage armor)
- If you tend to be ranged (either bow or magic), the Point Blank/Precise Shot sequence could be very useful
- You can't take it this level, but Somatic Weaponry (CompMage) allows you to cast with your hands full.

There is a PrC there I'm toying with (though it would need some modification since Col's an archivist), which is the source of the question. It fits Col's theme pretty well (it combines divine/warlock abilities similar to a mystic theurge). Its a little early yet, but I wanted to let you know that its bumping around in the back of my head.

I was hoping for a full orc paladin with a 6 wisdom and no ranks in sense motive, spot, or listen.

"Did you steal that Kalen?"

"No, of course not. I won this pouch of coins from those unconcious thugs fair and square."

"Okey Dokey then."

I'm not familiar with what warmages get later but with a lot of orb and ray spells point blank shot leading to precise shot is a nice feat path.

Toughness would apparently not be amiss either, particularly at level 1.

Legildur, just let me know when Bael is 100% finished, and I'll go over all the nuts and bolts.

FYI, you should end his background with him also having received a letter of invitation from Lavinia just as the other PCs...and, if possible, a reason why he was detained from answering it until a day or two later.

edit: And, consider this one more voice in the chorus recommending Point Blank Shot. Getting to Precise Shot and avoiding that -4 penalty for firing into melee is extremely useful.

I agree with this. I had a low-level Spirit Shaman who used a bow and had point blank shot and precise shot. Came in very handy, and he could also apply it to spells like produce flame and such.

Guys, it appears that the current scene is drawing to a close. We need some questions answered before the next scene begins....

What will be done with the boat, the animals, the dead thugs, and the captured thugs? Chongo mentioned leaving someone behind as a guard...will anyone be doing this?

Also, it is now quite late at night in the game....will the group return to the Vanderboren estate at this late hour, or wait until the next day?

When I've got answers to these questions, I'll advance the game to the next scene.
