[OOC Thread] Delving the Mists (seeking recruits!)

[Cerebus13]

Don't want to pre-empt the DM, but yeah... when it says you gain a level in the casting class, it means that when you gain an anatomist level your effective cleric level also goes up... so you go up on the spell progression chart too.

Exactly. This is just a mechanic thrown in so that you wouldn't have to write up a new table to describe spell progression and such for every prestige class.

So would that in effect make my Cleric level go up, for all purposes including saves increases to Reflex, Fortitude, and Will?

No. That is taken into account on the Anatomist's table of progression.

I was looking over Salzorin's character, and I have a question about Dhampirs. Do they still get the full 6 hit dice at 6th level? Most monster races lose a hit die here or there, so that by the time they reach their full power their level equals their hit dice plus the level adjustment for the race. And their HD is just standard monster hit dice, not levels in a class. Is this working differently than that?

I'm also curious what the +4 misc. modifier to all his skills is for. Whatever it is, I want one.

 

[Fangor the Fierce]

Trying to get equipment squared away, and was wondering what the CuL entry on the weapons is for.

Also, since this is a different class, what kind of weapons would best suit her? She has specialization in knives, but wanted something a little more suitable rather than a plain Dagger. I was thinking of having her buy a set of surgical knives, masterwork of course, for benifit in surgury...and autopsies. Trenchcoat, with a few extra pockets would be nice.

I've adjusted Dhampirs so that they level as a Monstrous Humanoid using a variation of the Savage Species rules. So each level of Dhampir gained they pick up another d8 hps. The skill modifier is listed in the Denizens of the Dark rule book as a +6 but I have lowered it to +4 for now. I may leave it at that rather than have the PC level into the full bonus once they reach 8th level.
If it concerns anyone that this monstrous class seems unbalanced in any way I can simply remove it or change it....so please let me know now.

Fangor you have to choose a deity if you are going to be a cleric. Also...there is no deity in the Northern or Southern core (which are the ones available to you) that have access to the domains of Death and Healing. You will need to adjust for this.

Closest thing to a scalpel I can think of would be a straight razor that is listed in the new equipment in the Ravenloft PHB. You could buy some of those and just call them scalpels instead if you like.

I was under the impression that Clerics do not have to choose a deity. 3.5PHB page 32, right column, second full paragraph starting with "If your cleric is not devoted..."

I chose Death and Healing due to the fact that my character has a morbid fascination with death, undead, and stuff like that.

 

[Cerebus13]

Ah I should have probably specified then...I would rather all clerics have a deity so that they have some sort of basic ethos to follow and a way of explaining where their clerical powers are granted from.

Female in a trenchcoat? People are going to think we're sisters (I put down that Natalie, my character, wears a trenchcoat when on the job in my "appearance" section). That's cool, though... we girls have to stick together in this man's occupation.

It only concerns me if it concerns anyone else. Then I'd back them up. Otherwise, I have no problem with varying power levels among the PCs. It's all about telling an interesting story for me.
