OOC - Planescape: A Hopeless Beginning

[Goddess FallenAngel]

I've never read any of the Realms stuff. Since this is Planescape I figure I can just make up a plane where they're undercover good guys (with Eluvan's permission, of course). In fact, I think I'll make it my own homebrew. The PCs have been messing with evil spider-god cultists and it could be a good curve to throw them.

Hey, works for me (it is your character), just thought I'd throw that tidbit out there.

 

[tylermalan]

Not that I know of...

Let me take a look tonight, and see how extensive the rules are. If they aren't that extensive, I can probably type them up for you.

Though I hate to have you have to do that for me again I would appreciate it, and that's awesome of you!

 

[Goddess FallenAngel]

Eluvan - Finished with my character, can't wait to get started!

Tylermalan - No problem, always glad to help a gamer in need. I've utilized my fiancé’s scanner and linked to the relevant 2 pages. I didn't include the Throw Anything feat because Scotley posted it already.

 

[Eluvan]

As an incidental note, I would have no problem with a homebrewed Improvised Weapon Proficiency feat (with suitably flavoursome name if you prefer), that would negate the -4 nonproficiency penalty you take on all improvised weapon attacks.

 

[tylermalan]

Well, I can do one of a few things I suppose...

1) I can take the throw anything feat and add that it acts as an Improvised Weapon feat.

2) I can make up the Improvised Weapon feat, negating the -4 penalty, but not have the additional abilities of Throw Anything.

Or I can forget about it! Preference is less here... but whatever you think fits.

All the Throw Anything feat does is negate the -4 penalty when you throw a melee weapon that you already have proficiency in.

If the DM is willing to allow you to make a feat that negates the -4 penalty for all Improvised Weapons (which is sounds like Eluvan is), do you really need the Throw Anything feat?

I would say a thrown longsword would be as much of an improvised spear as a thrown chair leg, for instance.

And, if you make a feat that negates the -4 penalty for improvised weapons, then I could easily see being able to throw them as well.

Obviously, that's just my $0.02. Eluvan?

Updated my character with description and background. I guess he's done pending Eluvan's final OK.

This should be good fun.

 

[Eluvan]

Okay, all three of the characters so far posted get my stamp of approval. Great, all of them.

We're now waiting for characters from Scotley and Tylermalan, as well as a background from Hypersmurf.

 

[Scotley]

Sorry for the delay, don't you hate it when work interfers play? I've done some more work on Wik, just need to finish up the narrative items. I plan to have it up by mid afternoon central time.

 

[JimAde]

I may be moving some skill points around. If Krikit's going to be a diplomat, he should probably have some ranks in Diplomacy. It's tough since I only have one character level to work with and Diplomacy is not a class skill for hideous arachnid creatures (go figure).
