[OOC] If Thoughts Could Kill

[Argent Silvermage]

Alright, but I do expect the new character will be 8th level (with experience points and gold at the midpoint between 8th and 9th). Hammerhead, please use the midpoints of 8th level as well (a slight bump from what I told you before).

In good news, the temple will gladly provide true resurrection for Darian in return for Rex's humble belongings. It will still take a day.

Cool. (my plan worked. they can use Rex's stuff to pay for the resurections)

I'll be intorducing a new Cleric of Pelor later today. (don't worry it's not a Rex clone.)

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Well if they were going to sell Rex's stuff in order to get a true res for another party member then both characters stuff should be sold and both get a true res.
I'm sorry I feel really cheated by this.

 

[Hammerhead]

But then no one would have any stuff, and both would be useless. You offered to play a new cleric; Victim wants to hold onto his character. Why are you feeling cheated? Did you want to loot Rex's stuff and use your own gear, doubling your character's wealth?

I'm also considering a Paladin 8 with a penchant for Shield Bashing; Charge + Smite + Divine Might + Strength = lots of damage.

Maybe a Fighter/Rogue with a Greatsword instead. Or a Knight of the Pale. Or a ...

No It's not that at all. I guess I'm just pissy that I died and took the party with me.
I'm considering what to play. I really liked the idea of a Priest of Pelor but I don't want to replace Rex with a substitute.
Playing a different type of Cleric is always an Idea but at 8th level it kind of sucks because I'll be the ONLY 8th level character.

 

[Victim]

Hammerhead's new guy, whatever he is, will also be 8th level. I like the Devoted Defender idea best. We need some melee defense, of our original group, NO ONE could stand up and take hits. Rex was the only character in tough armor, but he had a low Con and thus HP, while Lysander has good HP, but relatively light armor.

Don't go with a shield bashing character.

 

[Uriel]

Hey, I Can take a Hit...
I'm darn tough for a Gnome...AND If I can get a Flanking partner, I can do around a hundred points of damage with 4 hits< OK, 14 points a hit average, but still>...Not THAT BAD.
And I didn't get Blown Up

Gotta love that Improved Evasion.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

Okay, on reconsideration, I'm going to allow Argent and Hammerhead to make their characters 9th level, according to the specs given originally. This adventure is designed for 4 10th level characters, and 6 9th level characters will have plenty of trouble as it is.

Argent, I appreciate your honesty with regards to telling me about the necklace of fireballs. It's sad to lose Rex, but the explosion did introduce an interesting twist to the story.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

By the way, the three survivors receive 800xp for that encounter.
