Midnight: Peril in Arbordale (OOC thread)

[Keia]

Toric,

What sources can be used for feats PHB and Midnight only? Splats too? Forgotten Realms?

I'm interested in Spellcasting prodigy (Probably would only give an additional spell point and +1 DC for the Midnight Setting), Improved familar (more long term), and probably a craft feat.

Can Darius know any rituals for casting spells (I was thinking of healing - it notes elves are noted for their healing rituals) at the start of play?


Thanks,
Keia

I guess I'd be interested in Erenlanders. My email is thordaineq at yahoo dot com. I have a tentative background written up too
BTW are there any interesting rogue feats or skills I should know about in this setting?

 

[Toric_Arthendain]

Keia, in general feats should be chosen from the PHB and Midnight. However, I do own the splat books and the Forgotten Realms core book so I will allow feats from there on a case by case basis. The feats you mentioned are okay, but give me a bit of time to look at the spellcasting prodigy feat and make a ruling on how it works with the Midnight magic system.

Thordain, I'll drop you the information that you need for Erenlander in your e-mail later tonight. As far as feats that a rogue would find interesting, only one really. It is called Inconspicuous and gives a +2 to the following skills: bluff, diplomacy, hide and sense motive against the forces of Izrador (the Shadow).

ok, good news. I've got my midight book and can make my character.


Bad news, i've had a stomach virus all week and i just got my book today. I'll put a rush on things, but i might not have a finished character entill Sat. or Sun.

 

[Toric_Arthendain]

Sir Osis, glad you got the book! No problem on getting the character done over the weekend. With the ENworld outage of the last few days, everyone was a bit behind in getting their characters completely done. My plan is to start the game by next Wednesday (May 21st) so if we could have all the characters and backgrounds done by then that would be cool.

Keia, I think that your character knowing a ritual would be okay. So go ahead and pick one and add it to your character sheet.

Also, I now have the new Midnight book, Against the Shadow. It is essentially a player's companion book with new feats, spells, equipment, heroic paths, prestige classes and that sort of thing. If anyone picks it up and wants to use anything from it, feel free, so long as we still get characters done or modified by next Wednesday.

Now that I think about it, I'd like to bow out and give my place to someone else that wanted to join but couldn't (Cordo?). I have a lot going on in RL atm, and I'm afraid I might not be able to give this game the full attention it deserves.

 

[Toric_Arthendain]

No problem, Thordain. Sorry you won't be able to play.

So, I'm looking for one more person who is interested in playing. I know Cordo and Yellow Sign had expressed interest so preference will be given to one of them if either replies within the next day or so. Otherwise, the first person to reply that they are interested will be accepted.

Toric,

Sorry I'm taking so long on my character. I've updated him above and should be fully done on Monday. I do have a couple of questions.

1. Would it be possible to take Erunsil Patrol Sign as a language (I'm working the reason for it into the character's background)? If so, how many skill points would it cost?

2. I'm setting my character up for the Freerider prestige class. I'm assuming that this would fit for a member of Roland's Raiders, but I was wondering if you were restricting it as a Sarcosan only PrC? If so, would there be another PrC that would fit for my character in Against The Shadow?

3. Along those same lines, are there any PrCs, Heroic Paths, skills, feats, equipment, etc. from ATS that would fit with a Dornish outlaw horseman that has ties to the snow elves? Could you give a brief glimpse of them?

That's about it, I suppose. I'm REALLY looking forward to this game

mirthcard, no problem. Like I said, with the site being down most of last week, I expected that the game would be delayed a bit. To answer your questions, taking Erunsil Patrol Sign is fine with me. It'll just cost you one skill point. The new prestige classes in Against the Shadow are Ancestral Bladebearer, Aradil's Eye, Avenging Knife, Bane of Legates, Elven Raider, Herbalist, Sarcosan Knight, Smuggler, Warrior Adept, Whisper Adept and Wogren Rider. If any of those sound interesting, let me know and I'll try to elaborate a bit. And no, I am not restricting Freerider to only Sarcosan humans. Lastly, the new heroic paths are Beast, Elementalborn, Fellhunter, Hunter, Jack of all Trades, Mountainborn, Northblooded, Painless, Pureblood, Seaborn, Speaker, Spellsoul, Sunderborn and Tactitian. If any of those sound interesting to you, again let me know and I'll elaborate. Three new feats might be of interest to you. They are Giant Fighter, Orc Slayer and Whispering Awareness (allows non-elves to have easier chances to hear the call of the whispering wood). Any other questions or if you need further information on any of the above stuff, let me know.
