Off to War (always recruiting) OCC Year 2:

[HolyMan]

Oh I wasn't planning in him not having a teacher. In fact I was thinking he would have the same teacher as Jareth had. Once Tharivol sees him swinging his father's old mojaer-tal he would problably start training him.

Seeing as how Jareth has learned so much and doesn't need an instructor anymore.

Sounds fine to me. I'm guessing you said Monk 4 because Aidan will be reaching level 4 before he meets Tharivol? lol

As far as the stuff, Dragonwriter: I had originally considered Sorcerer but was worried about my BAB since I already had meh BAB from Monk, reducing it further would make Aidan less useful in a fight. HM suggested Duskblade.

If Aidan has a teacher, that'd be fine, and the Dragon Disciple levels can be Aidan's latent talent manifesting or something of the like.

I was just voicing my take on it. I tend to be somewhat vocal.
Honestly, if you're worried about BAB now, I would recommend against taking DD. Yeah, the ability boosts are nice, but spread over 10 levels, with medium BAB progression is not a good trade.
Remembering a little of Aidan's style (since he hasn't been around Jareth for a while), he had something of a protective personality. You could consider a couple levels of Paladin (CHA to saves is nice, high BAB) and going for the Knight Protector PrC from Complete Warrior. Not optimized, but neither is DD. You could also swap levels of Knight for Paladin, though the Challenge DCs will be a bit low.

Once Tharivol sees him swinging his father's old mojaer-tal he would problably start training him.

As in, Aidan's father has an old spiked chain? A middle-aged/elderly farmer used to wield a spiked chain? HM, that kinda strains my suspension of disbelief.
I mean, you say you are trying to run a low-magic world, but this old farmer will have an heirloom spiked chain. And Fallon is suddenly revealed to be a (minimally) 9th-level spellcaster...? Seriously, if you're going to do stuff like this, could you toss us some magic gear and bring us up to wealth-by-level? (And I mean magic gear we can/will use. The Cloak of Elvenkind you gave Jareth is great for sentimental value, but practically useless to him mechanically.)

EDIT: And it seems we can have multiple rolls on one post, but it will make the post huge. Shall we use that for the HP increase, or keep using IC?

My plan has been to become Draconic with Aidan for awhile. Paladin wouldn't help too much with that. He's protective of Lora, outside that he'd much rather be a flashy combatant... since he's a circle fighter.

I believe he meant Tharivol's father. If he meant Aidan's father, I'd like to know why Tharivol would care and how it managed to get into the Irregulars camp.

? Did I miss something? When did Fallon cast a spell? Or were you talking about Dellex?

If you say so... Still, nothing quite like a flash of divine light, guiding his strikes.
And Knight could be good for that circle fighting stuff, with the CHA synergy, too.

Hard to tell... Too many "he"s and "him"s in that sentence, HM!
I believe the training and seeing Aidan wield the chain would be after he is freed and presumably joins in with the army.

Technically, the only one who saw it was Darling/Sugar Silk. But the fact remains he used a prayer to summon a Celestial Griffon (Summon Monster 5, so CL 9 at least). The post in question is here. It was in the old, main IC thread.

Well, to be honest, I've a major like of dragons and becoming more like one and showing magic affinity seems really cool to me. Paladins are cool, but don't really fit the image I have in his head. Spontaneous divine influence doesn't seem as... innate as arcane.

By that I mean, Divine is someone acting through him, which makes his ancestry unimportant as an origin.

Knight is a cool class, but except the cha thing I don't think much really fits him. He's about dancing about the battlefield.

I found it very interesting when you first joined, because it appeared to me we both had a similar concept as far as combat goes...mix magic and melee and trip up the opposition.

So, I assume I will get enough Xp for a new level! Good, as that would be my b-day present! Happy Birthday to ME!!!

Please use IC for everything till we see what Morrus does with the dice roller. Hopefully they can make is smaller or auto hide it.

That is a story and you just need to remember that Fallon, Dellex, Bear and Martomum were a group while you all were young whipper snappers. So if Dellex is a high lvl wizard teleporting people miles away out of their beds then Fallon needs to have a litle power also. He doesn't have as much though do to an encounter with some wights.

Only 2 hims, 1 he, and 1 his that doesn't seem like much to me.

I just wonder at all you wasting rolls on trip attempts?? How many times have you successfully tripped but then missed with the attack??

OK alot to do XP and updating the duet and KtV.

Congrats FtF and DW for Leveling UP!!

And it won't take but one or two RP posts for Elms and Darling to reach lvl 2. So you should be thinking about that for the end of the month.

NOTE: Lughart your XP includes 70pts for background and 5 pts for posting in the RG. Which I haven't done the red ink for Cedric yet but I have seen few crunch mistakes but there are some things I want to address so be on the look out this weekend.

Ok I am off to update, then off to bed.

I think of Fallon as Gandalf. He doesn't look like much until he busts out the 'epic' spells and is all "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" And beats down a Balrog... Comes out all Shiny and pwns armies.

I have crappy luck. If I didn't do trip attempts, I'd simply hit and do 1 damage instead, since the crappy roll follows the good one. Not much difference either way. I figure eventually it will pay off. If it doesn't... Aidan may refocus his training elsewhere(Disarming armed combatants... etc...)
