Off to War (always recruiting) OCC Year 2:

[Theroc]

Nope he has neither of those.

A final clue, he took the +2/+2 feat at 9th lvl because of what happened to him after training his son.

HM

>.> So, he has 20 dexterity? Dayum. What array is he using!?

Okay, so that helps with the +2/+2, but leaves me still clueless on the other. I'm rather surprised he can manage a 20 in dexterity without sacrificing his spellcasting rather heavily.

 

[HolyMan]

Not hard to get +2 for race, +2 for lvls and there you go. Also you really don't need the extra XP as I have been doing XP this morning and seems you are ready to lvl up. So we need to figure out what your "path" is going to be in the next week or so.

Haha, I know, I just like guessing. As for the 20 Dex, I fully understand it'd be easy to achieve, but that's at the expensive of Intelligence, which I had understood to be rather important for a Duskblade.

Edit: As for Path, I still really have NO idea. Since the maximum late game benefit would be take as many casterlevels as possible first, THEN go Dragon Disciple to add more higher level spells known, or maybe to mesh them in between, rather than Db1/DD10/Db??

Ok gang here is the plan so far. I am about to go and push the thread forward a little but the only characters I wish to go on the adventure in the elven lands are:

Jareth
Trinham
Cedric
Malaroc

I will still be playing with the other characters but as they're players are posting slower than the twice a week it is not fair to those who wish to get on with this.

Lora I think will stay (she doesn't know that Tharivol is in elven hands), and ML wants to get some new spells so that will explain away some of the days that Lora is quiet (studying). So she will start searching and then find out everyone is gone. Besides her brother is about also. Lots for her to do.

Darling I am thinking might not be suited for dungeon crawling (and Sugar_Silk wanted to RP with ML) so she will stay behind.

Elms... well Scratched_back hasn't been here since the end of Sept. (why do people stop posting inches from lvling up?? LOL) and I have PMed him for when he does return so everything should work out there.

Here's what I hope will happen.. but you never know in D&D.

Aidan's Duet and K2V will both end around Jan/Feb (with only about two weeks passing game time). And the following lvls will hopefully be reached.

Lora - 5th
Trinham - 5th (probably 1/2 way to 6th lol)
Aidan - 5th (and on his way back to the army)
Jareth - 5th
Malaroc - 4th
Cedric - 4th (or very close)
Darling - 4th
Elms - 4th

So hopefully the next few months will bring everyone close to even. After we get through all this my plan is to fast forward the army advance towards Siere and have the next adventure be city based for those who wish to play.

Ok I need to get this all started.

[Theroc]

I'm glad I levelled, but I am honestly clueless now as to how to proceed with Aidan's levelling... since I'm now paranoid about my performance.

 

[HolyMan]

Theroc buddy you are to worried about crunch but I will try and help you.

A) How far do you wish to take Dragin Disciple? I'm thinking at least to 7th giving you -

claws and bite
+4 Str
+2 Con
nat armor +3
Breath weapon (4d8) - fire??
blindsense 30'
5 bonus spells

That all looks good to me. Now if we go 15 lvls which is what I'm thinking the minimum will be than you have 8 other lvls to play with. And you don't get 2nd lvl spells as a Duskblade till 5th lvl. So what are we seeing

MonkHB3/Duskblade5/DragonDisciple7 ?? Which means this lvl you would be taking Duskblade 1

What about trading Ki Strike (magic) out to spontaneously cast two Zero lvl spells?? Probably as a SLA (although I hate them). You would still need the knowledge requirement.

HM

 

[Theroc]

I suppose we can go that route for now, though I wanted the flight eventually too. But that just means if the game continues...

As for the ki strike... I'm not sure a 2/day spell like ability as weak as 'flare' is worth a constant potential bonus on every unarmed attack I make. Then again, I have no idea how many Treylor soldiers wear Armor of Invulnerability or how many dragons we'll be running across.

 

[Sugar_Silk]

Hey all, sorry I kinda dropped off there. New schedule was playing havoc with my sleep/free time. Sorry I missed out on the elven lands, but you did a good job playing Darling HM. Elms and his gems are definitely two of her concerns. I'll try and get back in the swing of things here, and I apologize for delaying the mission.

 

[HolyMan]

Thanks Sugar_Silk now that you are staying behind you may play at your leisure and I promise to keep everything interesting for you. When you have time first thing you should look into is lvling Darling up.

And Theroc that did not help me at all Mr. Undecided.
