Masters of the Arcane

[Shayuri]

I don't see any horrible flaws. There are a couple of things I just want to confirm though:

1) Lesser Geas -and- Geas? You might consider taking Heroism or Greater Heroism in one of those slots. It's a good buff for the Beguiler.

2) Dodge? Unless it's meeting a prereq, you're probably better served with something else there...just about anything else, really.

[Jemal]

Incidently Magnificent Mansion is 7th not 8th

Heh thanks, I keep forgetting that cuz I always cast it Extended, so I think of it as 8th.

Edit: Seeing my spells, I should perhaps change to Transmuter?

Hey, that's my shtick, so I'd have ta fight ya for it.

 

[Walking Dad]

Perhaps I should fill my level 9 conjuration only slots with quickened spells?

Any practical jokes that use Major Creation? (Craft Poison, Craft Alchemy? )

QJemal: Don't you play a sorcerer? I have to fill the slots in advance
Transmutation got the better high level spells.

Background to follow but essentially, he is a spoiled rich kid. Son of a minor noble.

 

[Halford]

Here is the link for my HP rolls, at first I did not realize you could search and find rolls again so rolled another set, but since it shows the order you can see which was rolled first - this one...

Hit point rolls for Halford. (8d6=22, 7d10=57, 2d8=10, 2d4+26=30)

 

[Halford]

Double Post...

So, er, um, yeah, anyway, I'm gonna go....

 

[Graybeard]

Here is the background for my character.

[sblock=Trevor background]

Trevor Southworth IV

Often found in his normal attire of blue tunic, blue trousers, white boots, white gloves, and white musketeer style hat with a long blue feather. He carries a fine rapier and dagger, gifts from his family.

Trevor had a typical spoiled childhood. His parents ensured he had no desire unfulfilled. As a teenager, Trevor frequently threw wild parties for everyone. Many local people were concerned about his self-destructive behavior. One night, on a drunken rampage, he broke into the local alchemist shop. He mixed several different items together until an explosion rendered him unconscious. He remained that way for days. His family feared he would never recover.

One day, a mysterious young woman arrived at the estate. She claimed to be a healer who specialized in such cases. They allowed her in and she stayed with Trevor for three days. When she was finished with her work, she left as mysteriously as she had appeared. Trevor awoke a different man. He still partied like before but only moderately partaking of alcohol. He began to be able to perform minor magical tricks. At first he used these to amuse party guests. Then he started getting serious about the craft and started reading everything he could about magic. He decided to continue to be the carefree spoiled person everyone thought he was but would adventure outside the town to pursue ways to increase his abilities.

A few years later, he was walking alone in the forest relaxing when he spotted a beautiful young woman. Thinking she might need protection from the wild animals, he ran to her. She greeted him by name and explained that she had helped him recover from the accident years prior. The two of them spent weeks together where he learned much about the Fey people and developed even greater abilities. Before they parted, she taught him how to call upon her people for help in dire need.

Since then, he has traveled the land seeking fortune and stopping evil wherever it is found. One day, a mysterious robed figure approached him in a tavern. At first, thinking it merely another merchant who needed help, he was about to brush the person off. He stopped cold when the figure called him by the name the Fey people know him by, Oberon. He listened intently as the figure described a place where only the greatest magic users could go and learn to perfect their craft to even greater levels. Intrigued, Trevor accepted the offer.

And my Hit Point rolls:
hit points (1d4=4, 1d4=4, 1d4=2, 1d4=3, 1d4=4, 1d4=2, 1d4=2, 1d4=3, 1d4=4, 1d4=4, 1d4=4, 1d4=2, 1d4=3, 1d4=1, 1d4=1, 1d4=4, 1d4=3, 1d4=2, 1d4=3)

 

[Dire Lemming]

So can I just say I've got all the focuses and material components I need? Aside from maybe a change of clothes it doesn't seem like there's much else we're allowed to have. Or can we get a bunch of mundane items like mirrors and bedrolls? Is there a point?

 

[Jemal]

Hmm, If such is the case, I have a request for Albedo. Mordenkainen's Sword as an arcane focus requirement of a 'miniature platinum sword worth 250gp'... For story & Thematic purposes, could I substitute a crystal sword for this, considering that either way they'll be 'worthless' to the general populace? I'd also plan on enchanting it in the future to grant various abilities (most likely not as a weapon, as a 'wondrous item), but those would be of course subject to further DM approval, and kinda irrelevant to the current question.
