[OOC] d20 Middle Earth-Eagle of the Star (Full )

[Mirth]

Mirth, I meant half celestial. I think either would be ok. I guess technically Outsiders dont exist in ME so the idea of planetouched would be a bit out of place.

I dont have savage species, so Im unsure of the ECL. By the DMG I think its +3, by Dragon 293 it +5.

Up to you.

To confuse things further, Savage Species splits the terms into ECLs and Level Adjustments (LA is +4 for Half-Celestials) Man, ECLs (et al) suck. It seems to me that to do Radagast properly, he would end up being out of balance for this game. Sooooooo, unless we can come up with some kind of LA/ECL race inbetween Aasimar & Half-Celestials (which I would be willing to work on), then I'm gonna have to play my trump card and take back Aragorn from rangerjohn (who hasn't posted back to the thread yet).

Let me know what you think. BTW, I'm probably going to sleep soon

Well, I guess we have a couple of options. If rangerjohn doesnt show up by the time everyone puts in their PCs you can by all means have Aragorn. Actually its your choice first anyway.

Second, You can pick aasimar or celestial. But in many ways that doesnt realy fit. The main thing about the Istari is really their wisdom. All the various resistences etc of the templates dont do this justice. I mean the Wizards are physically Men.

A solution to this if I may suggest would be to make Radagast as a Dunedain to make hism physically the equal of the Men. I would probably then allow Radagast to be a lvl 5 PC while all the others are 4, since he is one of the Wise (elves are older, but he is a chosen of the Valar). Its a small concession, but I dont want him to be a god like figure.

After some poking around I found this on Monte Cooks(?) message board:

Maia(Istari)- As DnD human except: +4 Int, +6 Wis, +6 Cha, +2 Will saves, Maia never die of old age and do not receive penalties for old age. Bonuses still accrue, however. Diplomacy and Animal Empathy are a class skills. Favored Class: Any. Special:Wizards Staff:As an emblem of his order and postion, an Istari suffers -2 to caster level checks and concentratiion checks for spellcasting when he attempts to use magic without his staff.

Its kind of along my way of thinking as the Istari as a "race" mostly based on wisdom/intelligence/lore instead special resistences and physical abilities.

What do ya think?

 

[rangerjohn]

Alright, heres the deal. I am interested in playing, but was obeying the DM. He said that Mirth has first shot and he still hasn't made a final decision. If he decides on Aragorn I will go with Halbarad, otherwise I will play Aragorn.

 

[zug_zug]

Hey rangerjohn. I wasnt trying to push you out or anything-hope it didnt come across that way.

[zug_zug]

No need to apologize Mirth. I guess it is pretty easier to over analyze things, something Im always guilty of.

Thanks for tackling Radagast-it wouldnt seem right without a spellslinger wiseman type.

 

[shaff]

ok, i sitll have no idea about the background of my char5cater yet. but the character itself is pretty juch done, just doing HP and buying stuff... BTW, the rollls for stats are MUCH MUCH better now, i even got a 18 which of course went into dex, which became a 20 because im an elf. I have a question zug zug, can i have a +1 magic mty composite longbow (+3)?

 

[zug_zug]

Sorry shaff but no. No single item can be over 2k. Ive sort of bent that in that Ill allow a +1 enhancement to weapons, which technically puts it over to 2000 gp.

So you could have a +1 composite longbow, just not the mighty part .

 

[shaff]

BTW, i went through all ur posts again, and i didnt see how u wanted us to do our HP, did u want us to rolls those too?

ok, ill just get a MTY comp lonngbow (+3), then ill get a different magical item.

And i know im getting redundant, but just to make sure, and make sure i dont screw it up, the 2000gp magical item is free right? I mean, we dont have to pay for it with our 5400, right?

And, did u say we only allowed to buy healing potions? if not i would like to buy potions of cat's grace if acceptable....
