[OOC] - Discussion for Kingmaker game

[Scotley]

Any creature with an at-will power called Titanic Fury should be avoided at all costs when on a boat.

Can I get a ruling from the DM on the Bastard background? Is is OK as posted? <* I feel cranky, I should go to lunch *>

 

[HandofMystra]

I have been filling out some of the hooks. But what are kickers?

 

[renau1g]

I decided that my bastard's last name will be Lake. I like the tradition in Westeros that bastards in each of the old seven kingdoms have a specific last name. So I declare (unless there is resistance) that bastards from the area of House Lebeda are surnamed Lake.
I have never played in a non-RPGA 4e game. It makes sense to me that there is a way for my druid to gather the rare herbs that are ritual components for Nature rituals rather than having to buy or loot them. What does renau1g think?
The bastard background gives +1 bonus to Diplomacy and Intimidate checks for each milestone you have reached since your last extended rest. In addition, you receive a +1 bonus to saving throws to end effects that daze, dominate, or stun you. Does the part in italics apply "for each milestone you have reached since your last extended rest" or in general?
maybe more questions later.

Velmont had it right about the backgrounds, however I would add that if you went with +1 to both diplomacy and intimidate, I don't think that stretches things too much.

+2 bonus to a single skill
A single skill become a class skill
You learn a new language other than Supernal and Infernal


Re: the herbs, they are rare and difficult to come by and the gold cost at the start is really an abstraction of the wealth you've accumulated to this point. It wouldn't be fair to grant extra wealth to your PC over say an arcane or divine PC who needs their own ritual components. That said, they will likely be part of a reward for a successful skill challenge, which I've got a couple lined up that serve just this purpose.

to be honest...I'm not 100% myself. I usually just throw another hook there. Feel free to leave blank also, it's not a required field.

 

[Velmont]

Hook = Give some meat to a master who want to build an adventure around you.

Kicker = What kick the butt of your character so he start to adventure. A kicker can be an hook too.

That's how I see it.

 

[Scotley]

Velmont's answer makes sense to me. I basically put another hook there. One that involved someone who might kick Mari's butt.

 

[HandofMystra]

Sorry for taking so much bandwidth here; this is my first ENWorld PbP character.
I am in the math section now. Elurin is a Primal Guardian. That means when he is not in heavy armor he can use his Con as his attribute to determine AC. But how how do I note that in the Defenses section?

 

[renau1g]

Please put it under Class Bonus

|ClassBonAC=x

where x = your Con.

Just put a note under the math about it. Something like:

NOTE:The +5 Class bonus to AC is from Crag's Guardian Might (Earthstrength) class feature, since this template will not calculate his Con Mod as the attribute for AC.

borrowed from another PC's sheet.


No worries HandofMystra. It is a bit of a pain in the ass the first time through. I have the benefit of having reviewed dozens of PC's and am much more familiar with it now.

 

[Velmont]

Also, put heavy=yes, so it doesn't add you Int or Dex over that.
