OOC Against the Crimson Tide (Closed)

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Is there still a slot in this game? If so, I'd love to try out an epic level character. Maybe something divine in nature. If there's no slots left, sign me up as an alternate.

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

Nac, you are alternate #3. Isida, it's basically 3.5, with minor alterations/throwbacks (the only one I can think of offhand is that the paladin's mount is not summoned, but remains with the paladin).

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Cool. I think I shall be a human druid who has spent time both in the deep wilderness, changing into the shapes of the wild beasts, and in the city, in the shapes of rats and dogs, and thus can be comfortable in both worlds. I'm going to go straight druid, right up into epic levels most likely.

 

[silentspace]

Thanks for the epic progression.

Some questions:
- what's the point buy?
- how do we calculate hp?
- starting gold is 2,100,000?
- do we have extra xp for item creation?

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

Let's do 32 point buy, hp are average values after 1st (1d4=2.5, 1d6=3.5, 1d8=4.5, etc.), that's the right amount of cash, and items that you can create cost 60% of the normal market value, no xp cost. Likewise, if you can cast a permanent spell on yourself, it costs 5 gp per xp it would normally require.

So so far we have druid and possibly cleric (covers divine side), fighter/mage type (the wizard swashbuckler) and possible fighter.

I am thinking either a wizard who loves item creation or a fighter/rogue taking the Guardian Paramount class from the ELH.

Hmm, which would be better for the overall group? I am happy with either! (Yep, that wizard IS going to be a dwarf if made! Gotta do this one even f never used - Just imagine the possibilities....)

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

If I end up playing at some point, I'm considering playing some variation on a Druid5/Warshaper5/Shifter15. Almost no spellcasting, but the ability to turn into anything of 25HD or under, and gain ALL abilities except for spell-like. That's just fun. If allowed I'd also take vow of poverty, which gives a nice bonus to natural attacks.

 

[silentspace]

I'm going to switch from Bladesinger to a straight wizard. Maybe incantatrix (Players Guide to Faerun) for a prestige class. And the Celestial Familiar feat (Book of Exalted Deeds)

 

[Goddess FallenAngel]

Alright, we need a fighter, so I am going with a human fighter15/weapon master10. Instead of the other levels of fighter I may start on a epic prestige class, if I can find one that I am interested in. I am probably just going to plan to finish out fighter and go epic fighter, however.

PA, let me know if this character sketch is acceptable with your world: (not finished history)

She uses a scythe and mainly follows the God of Kings & Justice, with more focus on the Retribution and Justice aspects. She gives full respect and offers prayers to the whole pantheon, however. She grew up the daughter of a farmer; however, her home and family were destroyed in a meaningless border war when she was 12. Orphened and homeless, Domina took up the only weapon she knew, the scythe, and joined the opposing army disguised as a boy for revenge. She was trained in a variety of weapons and fought in battles for 4 years before her masqurade was discovered, at which point she left that petty noble's forces and traveled to the capital, once again taking up her original weapon, the scythe. She spent many years in the capital and other major cities, fighting for one war or another; a mercenary for hire. She has become quite accomplished in the art of war, and has far surpassed everyone she has ever known in skill. Now, she searches for a true challenge in battle, and to uphold her chosen morals: justice and retribution.

I guess I should toss out my idea even though the chances of playing aren’t the greatest...

Anyhow, I'm pretty open to race and this will explain later, but I'm pretty certain I'm going, or would go, ranger. I would say straight though to epic levels but that's always so hard of me to do... but it is the plan.

I've wanted to have an integrated history, sibling or spouse, with someone for so long now* that I would be pretty open to any race, sex, etc to make this happen... It might be harder to explain my absence in the beginning but could be more seamless of a translation if I entered the game later than the rest…

Thoughts?

* Isida and I where very close to doing it in one game but are choices of race simply made it impossible. (I wanted to be a Saurial, and Isida had picked Svirfneblin.
