OoC:The Sceptre of Kings:A Heroic Dwarven Quest

[Uriel]

(Points at Thels) 'What he said.'
I just got off of work, and , as I said when i began this one, I won't be able to post much through Monday, as I am bar-backing/floor managing/coat-checking and painting at the club where I work (not in that order as far as what on which days, however).
Still, I can do this (check to see what you folks have before I go to sleep).

Lizardman is ECL3, so you do have 8 class levels.

Looks like folks are voting for the max HP, though my bleery eyes would need to be able to focus properly to make sure.
Thels, yours looks fine, as do the others I've seen. I have to go look at this 'poke-mount' that you keep referring to.

I don't know if you guys are familiar with the miniatures game 'Chronopia', but that sort of inspired this game, which I wanted to do as a RL RPG, with 3 princes competing to find the Sceptre of Kings, as it would show which of them was goingto be the next High King of the Dwarves.

The Horned Ones Dwarves from that game ride massive Ram-like mounts, which are comfortable underground. I could work something up.

Hehe, If Alembregh and you all find it, that could cause some serious waves in my Underdark games, as you aren't THAT far from them...Imagine, all the Dwarves massing, guided by the Deep Dwarves, who know EXACTLY where that pesky Drow city is...and darn it, but those silly Drow have just had a Civil War that has left them very weakened...Hmmm.

Fawning Drow Scout: 'Mistress Bezevene, there are Dwarves marching on the City.'
Duchess bezevene:'So what, Worm, take the army and crush them...'
Fawning Drow Scout:'Mistress, there are 10,000 dwarves marching on the City..."

Trapmaster Turlogh has blue eyes and black hair. His hands, arms and face are criscrossed with scars and he wears a eye patch over is left eye.

Turlogh has spent most of his life studing under the finest builders and trapmakers of Temperlain. It has been a hard road and he has the scars to prove it. When Prince Alembregh asked him to come with him to Cavaghn, Turlogh jumped at the chance to prove his worth and his skill. Caring his father's sword "Whisper", Turlogh also hopes he can avenge his father's death at the hands of a bugbear cheiftan.

Do you allow the Hold The Line feat from Sword & Fist?

Edit: And would you allow Bracers of Striking from Magic of Faerun?

I'd like to get ansvers to these if I might. Bracers of Striking would fit as the "leveled item".



And stop the press!:

n. Shuriken now work like any other thrown weapon, though they're priced like ammunition for enhancement, etc. because they're disposable, and they're drawn as a free action to allow faster throwing. Shuriken are considered a special monk weapon, allowing them to flurry with them. They also do more damage (1d2) and add Str bonus to damage.

 

[Uriel]

Miquiztli : Your sheet says Mithral Armor +1, thoughtthe numbers add up to a +2 shirt. Your GP math is fine, so I assume that you just mis-typed it.

Sword of Subtlety? What's the power, please, my brain is fried from work though I can go dig it up somewhere I suppose.

Xael: Yes on the Bracers and the Feat.

Sure, you can have the bracers as your special Item.

Folks please denote your Special item with a <L>, thanks.

 

[Miquiztli]

Yes, the Mithral Shirt should be +2.

Sword of Subtlety is from the DMG page 190. It is a +1 short sword that gives a +4 bonus to the attack roll and damage with a sneak attack.

 

[Knight Otu]

You last hit die for the monster gets replaced by the class hit die, so it's 1d8+3 + 8d8+24, which ends up being the same thing.

I'm sorry, but not a single of the creatures with class levels from Savage Species supports that. Only creatures with 1 or fewer racial HDs get to replace that with class HDs.

Thus, a level adjustment of +1 and 2 racial HDs would mean 7 class levels.

(Help me, I'm mad! I'm trying to weaken my character! )

 

[Thels]

Hmm, I could be wrong about the HP for creatures with more than 1 HD. But afaik, it's still a 9th level creature overall with 8 class levels.

 

[Erekose13]

Just double checked with my savage species. Knight has got it right. Any creature with more than one HD has to add class levels on top of those. Only creatures with one HD replace that one with a class level.

So his lizardman is 2 Lizardman HD + 1 LA + 7 monk levels.

Elspeth's father was a Gold Dragon, Galanax, who has since been killed by the great drake awakened by the dwarves. Elsepth is a rather capable diplomat who has attached herself to the Prince as advisor, trouble shooter, chronicler and occassional arcane and physical support.

 

[Uriel]

Wilphe:

At first I was going to nix the Father killed by the Grake Drake thread so as to keep as much mystery as possible <nobody has seen it and lived etc...), but I like it now...interesting options.
Your father disappeared a year ago, either dead or ?


I do find it disconcerting that your Bard has NO Spot or Listen, since they are both Class skills...
If you want to go an item for these skills, I'm ok with that.
I frequently take a +10 to spot and listen' item etc, a steal at 4,000.

Just a heads up, I like perception skills, Spot,Listen,Search.-They will come into play very often in game, though I usually roll them and don't even ask for them players get suspicious when the Dm says 'OK, everybody make me a Spot roll...er).
