[OOC] Elven Navy Delta Squad (Spelljammer)

[GruTheWanderer]

-2 Str, +4 Dex, +2 Con, -4 Cha, Blindfighting, Spell Resistance 18, Darkvision 30ft, Sunlight Vulnerability, plus basic dwarf traits (skills, attacks against gobs and orcs, dodge vs giants, stonecunning, etc).

The vulnerability means that derro take 1 point of Con damage every hour they are exposed to sunlight. As mentioned above, this will not apply in space, but will apply planetside. I'll let you imagine possible countermeasures.

Hmm, why would a underdark race of dwarves have darkvision 30 when normal dwarves have darkvision 60? Make it 60 for derro as well.

The spell resistance part is pretty cool. They make wicked mage-killers.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

Oh, I should also mention that derro are degenerate and evil human-dwarf crossbreeds who live in the Underdark. Incredibly cruel, they enjoy taking slaves and torturing surface dwellers to death. Their skin is white with bluish undertones, their eyes white with no irises or pupils. Mustaches, no beards. More details in the MM under dwarf.

Half-breeds. That explains the darkvision 30. So cancel previous comment.

 

[Mirth]

Sweet. Thanks Gru for the invite. You okay with psionics?

 

[GruTheWanderer]

Yes, I am. We have a nomad already, but more are welcome.

 

[GoldenEagle]

Cool, Derro Dwarven Cleric it is. There is a feat in FRCS that deals with underdark creatures adjusting to light. Can I take that?

GE

 

[GruTheWanderer]

I don't have FRCS, so if you wouldn't mind summarizing the feat, I will consider it.

Derek

P.S. Not going to be very good at turning undead, I would guess.

 

[GoldenEagle]

Turn...why turn when you can disrupt

GE

 

[GoldenEagle]

I don't have FRCS either, perhaps someone here does. I believe it allows penalties for underdark races to be cancelled. In this case my guess is that it would offset the penalty to con.

Also, the MM mentions that derro use repeating crossbows. If I want to use that is that a bonus feat or do I need to use a feat for that?

GE

 

[GruTheWanderer]

No, you can consider that to be a racial weapon for which you are automatically proficient.

Hmm, daylight adaptation seems geared towards drow, goblins, and the like who suffer circumstance penalties in sunlight. After enough experience they are no longer bothered by it.

Derro, on the other hand, are made sick by sunlight (just as albinos are in danger from too much sunlight). I would prefer another solution (creative use of continual darkness, draped clothing, wrapping hands and exposed parts in cloth, etc). It is less dramatic if the flaw is removed entirely.

 

[GoldenEagle]

cool.

where do you wnat the character posted?
