OOC - [Epic] Scions of the Endless Falls - Full

[Rikandur Azebol]

Also - Rikandur Azebol, I haven't had time to go over Tsunami closely, but she looks like a really fun character. You can post her in the alternate rogue's gallery if you wish.

Thank You, Isida.

Tsunami funny ? Nay, fleshborn are crazy that is her point of view.

You shouldn't act out of character just to say hi. I was wondering more about Solarion and Sigrun who appear to have just stood still for an hour while Caira and Rahveon (who I'm assuming did actually ignore Pilmer since they left) did their thing.

Edit: Nevermind, life moved on while I was typing the post.

I had posted what Rahveon had done before you had posted. Plenty of other people to talk to so I didn't split timelines. I didn't intend it as a slight, just being pragmatic.

I guess I should have invested ranks into Craft (worldmaking) and Craft (lifeform) Unless you let me shift some ranks around post-haste.

Isida, With my general skill spread, is there any answer I can bring to the table that might be reasonable? The only thing I could think of off the top of my head was some combination of the powers: Genesis, Reality Revision and True Creation.

I think it would be interesting in the future for Sigrún to research a power or spread of powers that would allow him to literally create new life and sentience.

And you thought world building was just for GMs


I don't think it will be that easy. Rahveon really isn't asking you to recreate a world in the image of the Endless Falls, he is asking you to restore the Endless Falls.

I think we have a seed here, but I think we are talking God level juju here. I think, while the Architect is certainly the person most likely able to weild it, we are talking stealing the power of a god, or something like the Tablet of Fate (From the Babylonian Mythos)

I knew it! Isida was just slouching out of her duties... making me do all the grunt work...

Well, we don't have any epic spellcasting, and I highly doubt wish and its kindred will do anything, since practically all of us can manage that effect.

We don't really have a lot to go on, actually. I would suggest that we find a deity who participated in the destruction - a weaker one, that we could wield some influence over if s/he gets difficult - and get the inside story. If practically all the gods were involved, with all those different ideologies and alignments, that strikes me as an alliance waiting to be pried open.

Granted, we'd probably have to deal with an evil god of some sort, but an ambitious demigod or lesser deity could hardly turn down the proffered services of a half-dozen 30th-level characters, no matter what the risks are. S/he will be planning a double-cross later, but I'm sure that's something we can prepare for.

 

[Ferrix]

Well Genesis is specifically designed to create a demiplane and expand it, I'm sure with at least some assistance through wishes/reality revision it might be able to start slowly expanding our bubble. Although it's an expensive XP expenditure.

I'm just looking from the direct powers my character has, also for suggestions from Isida on what might be a good route to be going on.

Kelleris-

I should have looked over your character more and your items less:

Your Hit Points are wrong, you get a d8 + Con for every ECL, you get max at first (in this case the d8) and 75% of maximum for the rest, so:

8+(28x6x.75=126)+(10x1x.75=7)+(30x6=180)=319

You have the feats Practice Spell Caster (from the Complete Divine) and Arcane Strike (from the Complete Warrior) which are not on the approved book list.

Are your scrolls just flavor text for your epic feats or are they an actual item. If they are an item, did you list a cost for them I missed?

I don't remember Isida allowing Item Familiar from the UA, but I could just be forgetting about it.

Craft Masterpiece Performance is from a Dragon I think, but did you spend Experience to get the benefits? I think you need to detail what you did with this (if anything).

Where is Battle Dance from? (I vaguely remember it as a class ability from the BoEMII)

Is the Single Blade Style one of the styles from the Complete Warrior (and the corresponding problem with books not on the accepted list)?

What does the [invested] mean by your characters skills?

Where is the Fruit of Mottlegrasp's orchard from? What does it do (I am curious)

What is [IB], (HB), and (AB) (next to your feats) mean. (I am guessing HB is human bonus, but AB and IB?)

 

[Kelleris]

Some quick notes, rp-wise, since I suspect my IC actions are going to be controversial to some degree:

First off, I'll say again, for emphasis, that I'm not trying to play your characters for you. I just wanted some way to represent my character's rhetorical abilities, and that's what skill checks are for.

Second, some comments on Arion's personality (it's still something I'm thinking about, hence no character sheet entry). He's not exactly stubborn, but he is used to being right, which explains his forthrightness. The disparity between his Wisdom and his Intelligence - which is something that I've always had to work with in previous versions of this character - was important enough that I left it intact. It does mean that he has a hard time picturing himself in other people's viewpoints, so he genuinely believes that his idea is the only reasonable one. If you can convince him otherwise, he'll be just as staunchly for your idea, but you have to do so with bias-neutral reasons (to whatever degree that's possible).

Your Hit Points are wrong, you get a d8 + Con for every ECL, you get max at first (in this case the d8) and 75% of maximum for the rest, so:

Oh. Didn't realize Isida had a special method. You asked a while back, but she never said yes or no, so I just went ahead and rolled.

You have the feats Practice Spell Caster (from the Complete Divine) and Arcane Strike (from the Complete Warrior) which are not on the approved book list.

The Practiced Spellcaster feat is just copy/paste from a 13th-level character sheet. I'd like to keep it (to keep my caster level at my character level of 29), but I'll ask Isida. I'm using Arcane Strike from Dragon, since I despise the Complete Warrior rewrite. This version is +2 to one attack per spell level expended, and +1d6 damage per spell level damage to that attack. It's actually worse for me than the Complete Warrior version, but like I said, I despise that version.

Are your scrolls just flavor text for your epic feats or are they an actual item. If they are an item, did you list a cost for them I missed? ... Craft Masterpiece Performance is from a Dragon I think, but did you spend Experience to get the benefits? I think you need to detail what you did with this (if anything).

The scrolls are the masterpiece performance in question - the effects are detailed there. It is from a Dragon. I paid full market value for them instead of XP, though I did background-wise make some of them myself.

I don't remember Isida allowing Item Familiar from the UA, but I could just be forgetting about it.

I talked her into it many moons (er, pages) ago.

Where is Battle Dance from? (I vaguely remember it as a class ability from the BoEMII)

Don't own the BoEMII. It's from the epic issue of Dragon.

Is the Single Blade Style one of the styles from the Complete Warrior (and the corresponding problem with books not on the accepted list)?

Nope, it's the swashbuckler issue of, you guessed it, Dragon.

What does the [invested] mean by your characters skills?

Invested in Akumunaga, my Item Familiar. I get the bonus before the slash continually, and only have the higher bonus when the sword is drawn.

Where is the Fruit of Mottlegrasp's orchard from? What does it do (I am curious)

One of the example planar sites in the DMG. They grant inherent bonuses to stats. I just used them instead of the tomes because I like the flavor better and it means that I'll get to compose something about Arion defeating a [insert powerrful monster here] story into my background later.

What is [IB], (HB), and (AB) (next to your feats) mean. (I am guessing HB is human bonus, but AB and IB?)

IB = Item bonus (from gloves of arrow catching, slotless), and AB = assassin bonus, swapped out for 3d6 sneak attack. I have no real use for 3d6 SA, so I asked Isida a while ago if I could grab that instead, as per Unearthed Arcana. She agreed, and so there you go.
