OOC Shackled City Gestalt Campaign (Full)

[Erekose13]

The other traditional way to cast spells in combat is to cast them Defensively. it requires a Concentration check (DC 15+spell level) and does not risk an AoO at all. A character designed for delivering touch spells is quite easy to do. 4 ranks at first level, +4 combat reflexes, +3 skill focus +1 or 2 for con bonus = Concentration of +12-13 which makes it only a 10% chance of failure at 1st level. But yes generally touch spells are meant to be dangerous to pull off in hand to hand combat. So if you feel that your domain spells are utterly useless perhaps you can request changes to your character (either feat choice or domain choice). It is only the first encounter of the game though I dont know if jeremy will allow it, up to him.

Hope that helps.

All of these are good solutions. Besides, as seen in the last two rounds, James' character had little trouble hitting his opponent and dealing damage. Even critting with the chill touch.

Rangerjohn, if you are upset with your Domain choice, I will allow a change, if you would like. I would have to request you keep chill touch in your sorcerer repetoire, however, since you have already used it in-game.

By the way, any thoughts or opinions on the "Character Update" table in the story thread?

I like the Character Update table - just a small correction, though, I was the one who cast Shield, not Polaris.

 

[Erekose13]

I cast one too (I think). I heard the cry, cast mage armor and moved forward. Seeing myself greatly outnumbered I cast shield then moved in to attack just as James showed up.

I like the table, but its a bit long. maybe as a text file attachment might be better to keep the size of posts down.

I like it. I disagree with Erekose it is too long, to me an attachment is a hssle unless absolutely necessary to prevent bandwidth problems (and I probably have the worst connection on the planet )

I figure, given Telenor's background, that he has had encounters with the church of St. Cuthbert before, and he's just a little bit nervous about them knowing who he is; hence the whispered name.

Heh- my package from Amazon arrived and I collected it about an hour ago, now I need to sit down and start going through it - seeeing all those nifty ideas!

[Vargo]

Speaking of which, who all is still out there, and who are we waiting on?

 

[Erekose13]

Just got back from my vacation. Will be trying to post on all my games in the next couple days. Sorry bout that, hope I didnt slow everyone up.

 

[rangerjohn]

I am still here. I assummed we were waiting on Jeremy, but I could be wrong.
