[OOC] Pool of Radiance

[Leif]

Hello, all. I'm hoping to be joining you guys soon, so I thought I'd greet you all OOC!

Cool! Welcome Aboard, then! Wanna give us a hint as to what you'll be playing? Or are you gonna keep us in suspense? (Which wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing, I guess.)

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

I'm doing a Sun Elf Duskblade/Cleric - mixing arcane swordfighting with some support capabilities courtesy of Cleric.

 

[Leif]

Cool. Makes my Vanilla Wizard seem so .... mundane. But, hey, I LIKE vanilla.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Mundane? You get fireball

 

[Leif]

True, true. But really, when you've seen one fireball you've, uh....

.... well, you've probably got a serious need for a change of britches, for one thing!

No hoping necessary, and welcome aboard.

drakir_nosslin will also join us with a fighty Rogue; I hope we get the character done this week (on it), since I want to integrate both of you at the same time, so Nac Mac Feegle will have to show at least a little patience still.

Bye
Thanee

So. A Duskblade|Cleric is, basically the same as a 1ed Cleric/Fighter/Magic-User. And a "fighty Rogue" would be a 1ed Fighter/Thief. Sorry, it's like 3.5 is not my native language, so no matter how marginally functional I become with the system, I still THINK in 1ed, AD&D terms. Except that 1ed really had no Gestalt equivalent. That system far surpasses the MC system.

And here I am trying to learn 4ed now! What a joke!

As a duskblade my magic-use is quite limited (think Sorcerer more than Wizard), but the two main advantages I receive in return are the ability to wear armor and the ability to cast touch spells through a melee attack.

As far as actual day-to-day adventuring goes, your average wizard has NOTHING on your average sorcerer. (Except fewer spells.) And the Armored Mage ability is worth it's weight in ..... something. The touch-spell-through-the-weapon thingy is somthing that I've read about, but never actually seen in play, so I'm interested to see how you use it. (On some OTHER character, that is.)

Sorcerers are on par with Wizards... just different...

The spellcasting of the Duskblade is more like the Bard (maybe a little more), but in the end, fundamentally different. It's a Warrior-class, not a Magic-User-class, after all.
