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

[Cerebus13]

Was adding up Kalri's encumbrance and realized I'll go quite a bit into Medium Load when wearing armor...so I adjusted her equipment list to show what she typically wears/carries and I can adjust that in the story (such as if she decided to don armor when hunting zombies).

Glanced at everyone's character sheets quickly and Pyrex's is the only one who goes over light load by a significant amount. This isn't a huge issue however because I'm sure your character does not wander around on day to day business with a backpack full of tools, rations, and bedding supplies .

 

[Pyrex]

Yeah I noticed that myself and figured I might have to break down my listing a little more specifically. I don't really expect to need to haul the bedroll around when apprehending criminals...

(on the other hand, I do still need to add another couple of weapons and finish up my char...)

I've been discussing this with Cerebus, and we've sort of decided that it'd be a bad idea to go forward with the Dhampir just because it might cause too many problems within the party. And since we won't know if it's balanced or not until we get into actual gameplay. I'm discussing a fun alternative with him now. It goes a little outside of the books listed, but it's a build I've wanted to try for a very long time. Basically, since we don't have a breaking and entering/tumbling/climbing/pocket picking sort of infiltration guy yet, I'll be going heavy rogue. As a fun twist, though, I'll hopefully be going with the Master Thrower prestige class. I figure that'll be more fun than having three heavy melee-centric characters. Once I get to Master Thrower (Won't be able to get a level in it until 7) I should be fairly combat effective.

I've got most of the character drawn up already, so if Cerebus can finish our corespondance I can hopefully get him up tonight and not delay things any longer...

Damn, and I thought I was the one delaying things...

Cerebus, in regards to the books, you said multiply the difference in CL of the items wanted by 100%. Does this mean that I can get printed books for 20gp a piece, considering I am from a CL8 town? Just wondering, so that I can update her profile with a few books for her collection. Herbs are a nice touch, on the expert. I like it! The addition of craft alchemy is also a nice touch as well. Very in line with what I had in mind. I will go over my character again later this evening and flesh out any additions to her equipment and finalize everything. Sounds like a great group, can't wait to start using her.

After some consideration it would probably be better to allow a normal PC with an odd Prestige class than a Dhampir in the campaign.

Fangor:

You are correct. An example:
gadgetA 10gp CL 7+
gadgetB 10gp CL 8+

If you went to a CL 6 town to buy these B would cost 200% more, or 30 gp. A would cost 100% more, or 20 gp.

Don't worry about the minor delays for now...I'm still trying to get AutoREALM (my mapping program thingie) working correctly and then I'm going to post up a 3 or 4 block map of the area of the city you will be living in.

Question for everyone...
Where would you prefer to live in the city? Apartment...house...barracks...etc. Since you will all be employed one way or another by the police department I will simply garnish whatever wage you are given based on what living space you choose. I'm asking this so when I create a map I can give PCs places to live on it.

I am thinking that this is a promotion, so possibly a house or apartment would suffice. I am also thinking that she may even rent out a room to her apprentice Kalri, since they will be working together...how's that sound?

And I am assuming that you are saying printed books are available. I will buy a few, and name them accordingly. If you see anything that you won't allow, let me know.

20gp for Book -The Human Body (Anatomy)
20gp for Book - The Achorites Guide (Deity/Religion)
20gp for Book - The Healers Guide (Heal)
20gp for Book - The Herbalists Guide (Profession)
20gp for Book - Searching for the Answer (Search/Spot)

Each one of the books I am listing has a minimum of 5 ranks in the associated skill. Sort of justifying why she has those listed as higher ranking, due to her studying.

 

[Pyrex]

Anton (my PC) would prefer to live in the city. Probably in an apartment.

 

[Cerebus13]

Fangor:

The books are fine as long as they have no in game effect other than for roleplaying a level increase. (ie. you spend some time studying your books to increase your anatomy skill) Spending some time with other experienced PCs and a library will also be useful for this...but we'll roleplay those situations when you all gain a level.

You can probably afford a small house with 3 rooms. A larger common room and two bedrooms...then you could rent the bedroom to your assistant.

 

[Pyrex]

Fangor, I was taking a look at your PC and it looks like you have too many feats.

Also, how'd you qualify for Weapon Specialization w/o any Ftr levels?

The two extra feats are from the Anatomist Prestige class. I've posted a link to the download for it somewhere earlier in the thread if you wanna give it a look.
