No Man's Land (Recruitment Closed... Sort of)

Yeah, and that's not all that interesting.

Nastasia Sohne von Peter respectfully disagrees; she finds healing the wounded and tending the sick to be more interesting than such trifles as worldly possessions.

oh man, now I'm torn. I could ditch my divine feats, take leadership and dragon cohort, and have 2 young gold dragons to control. should I? or shoudn't I.......hmmmm

I'm really interested in seeing how she plays out!

Necro_Kinder - One from Leadership/Dragon Cohort and one as a mount? Sounds wild.

I have some questions in a side thread concerning avorals and shapechange.

- How many hit points can my lay on hands heal?

- Can I change into an avoral during the same shapechange and use the ability again? It's not like I'm the same avoral, after all . . .

So am I. She began life as a back-up character for (and sister to) my Shackled City character, but I've never had the chance to play her. I figure, if ever there's a chance to see the "girlfriend class" shine, it's now -- loaded up on Exalted feats and in a game where I won't get bored if all I do is heal.

That feels safe .

Jemal, I've noticed you're giving advice. Got any for me? I like the defensive aspects of my character, the AC, saves and regeneration will make him hard to hurt. But he's got difficulties hitting anything, and he doesn't have a lot of attacks, limiting the value of his main offensive ability the Dazing Blow. Should I choose another direction for the character (leaving the War Troll and Monk parts, but changing feats and items a bit)?
I recall there was some rule somewhere that allowed characters to "buy off" their LA in exchange for XP, but maybe that was in 3.0. Know anything about that? Could it be useful?

Oh it will be. Also, I don't even need to take Leadership, I just need Dragon Cohort. So I will effectively be 3 lvl 20 Characters (or ecl 20 anyway). WOO.

Heres the thing, you're not turning into a specific Avoral. You are turning into you, as an Avoral. Its still you. Its not a different creature. This means that I'm gonna say this (and please don't think this is a nerf, this is what I actually believe), you are still subject to the creatures per day abilities as if you were the creature, no matter how many times you change into it.

Okay. I appreciate your telling me that up front. So, just to be clear, even if I changed into an avoral using another spell, I would still have used up my healing as an avoral for the day?

Also, I have a question regarding breath abilities - what if I turn into a dragon and, say, a linnorm - two different creatures with breath abilities where I have to wait 1d4 rounds before using them again. Could I use different breath weapons in back-to-back rounds?

Yes you can. I have always considered the breath weapon concept to be based off of a single breath weapon ability (or in the case of metallics, their duel abilities linked to each other.) In fact, I personally believe a creature with the Half Dragon Template added to itself twice could breath its one weapon, and then follow up with the other one with no rules infractions. the same thing would apply here.

And to go back to the Avoral question, thats how it will work yes.
