OoC Thread - Strife in Sokara - A solo game for Brother Shatterstone

[Jarval]

Jarval... Don't hate me, but do you have Arcana Unearthed? I'm thinking that the Unfretted would be a better class than Rogue for Brystasia... :\

Nope, don't have it, I'm afraid :\ It looks interesting, but I'm gradually building a list of books I want to buy, and it's a fair way down.

But, if you can scan or type up the details of the class, I'll be happy to give it a look over Given it's Monte Cook's work, I'm probably going to be fairly favourably inclined towards it.

Oh, and there should be an IC update posted in the next 15 minutes or so. I'm still catching up after the hurricane. When did EN World come back on-line? I didn't notice it was back up until Tuesday night.

Yay!

It came back up Sunday night here... Call it 8 PM PST, so that would have been Monday 4 AM London time... It still had issues but it was working when I got to work at 7 AM, which would have been 3 PM London time.

And I'll scan it up either tonight or tomorrow... (I would like to modify it some... Isida allowed it, but it wasn't gestalt.)

 

[Jarval]

Yay!

Thought you'd be pleased. Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to it, but like I said, it took me a while to realize we were back up and running. Adlon's post certainly gave a through account of what'd happened. Makes me glad I live where I do...

Huh, that's longer than I thought :\ Just goes to show I should have been checking more often...

That's cool, no rush. And don't worry abot tweaking things a bit, I'm not worried about game balance. After all, I can always chuck tougher stuff at you if needs be

None sense no need to stress over it, to be honest I've been keeping really busy, I'm active on another board. (Mutants and Masterminds) abd they dumped new errata on us and some much needed rules on weaknesses... So like I said I've been busy.

(haven't seen adlon's post)

naw, just means I should have emailed you...

Well in that case I want to test the balance of a class I call, Übermunckin! Now now don't say no yet!

It's got great saves in every category, rolls a d12 for hit points, full BAB progressions, full arcane spell progression, full divine spell progression, full Psionic powers, fighter feats, and a rogue's sneak attack and uncanny dodge progression.

What do you think!

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

bump?

Are you waiting for the Unfretted Class write up or are you just busy?

Edit: If you where, check your inbox.

I have the rogue class simply for the skill points, I don’t like the idea of her being able to remove a trap... Also of note is that the Unfettered has access to light exotic weapons... So I could remove the exotic group from her light blades and allow her to becomes proficient in another base weapon group... Which is cool she doesn't seem to warriorish with only be able to use light blades and bows.

The feats would need to be adjusted... She would lose one from her lack of rogue sneak attack. Of course 2nd level Unfettered gives a bonus feat. (like it's been long enough to even think that. )

I think in got the shaft! I mean, it should have lay on hands, the monk's unarmed damage and flurry of blows, and both of the ranger's combat styles. Then you've got an Übermunckin.

Sorry, I've had a busy few days. It was my birthday on Tuesday, on Wednesday I spent the entire day backing up, then defragmenting my computer's hard disk, and I've spent most of today at a neighbours wedding.

Edit: If you where, check your inbox.

Checking, found it, will have proper look in the morning.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Then you've got an Übermunckin.

Fine then, I'll just stick to RPing then.

Well happy birthday! Congrats! and you need to defrag your hard drive more often if it took all day...

Cool, take your time and all that.

Thanks Had a good day, went to see I, Robot at the cinema (much better film than I was expecting) and got the Firefly DVD set. And some Star Wars Lego... Yes, I'm a big kid...

Never a truer word was spoken It was a bit of a mess. Still, it freed up over 300 MB of space (which tells you just how much of a mess it was in), and I'm backed up a lot of stuff that really needed it. Plus it gave me an excuse to watch a few episodes of Firefly while I was minding it.

Cool, take your time and all that.

Just taken a look over the class. It looks good, and I'm happy to make some changes.

Pluses:
* I'll up the skill points to 8 + INT per level (so you won't need to rework Brystasia's skills too much).
* You'll get Uncanny Dodge and Improved Uncanny Dodge at the same levels as a Rogue.

Minuses:
* BAB drops from good to medium.
* You either don't get any bonus feats from the Unfettered class, or we drop the Sneak Attack ability and keep the bonus feats at the Fighter level (as we were already doing with her Rogue levels).

Does this look OK?

Big kids are cool. I've never seen Firefly, I've often wondered about it, it seems to have a strong following here on the board so maybe I should give it a try. (Though I'm in the middle of watching Millennium right now. Didn’t watch it as a good but it seems to be pretty cool. )

Well that's good news but your still a slacker.

looks good!

I would rather keep her more as a fair and just warrior so I say we dump the sneak attack. I’m guessing she doesn’t get fighter feats in their place and just loses the ability correct?

Firefly is a great show. The fourteen episodes on the DVD are better than Buffy's first season. You watch it, and you can tell that so much thought and care was put into each episode. All the raving about it is totally justified, it was a gem of a show.

I know nothing of Millennium, however. What's it about?

True

We dump Sneak Attack, and we go back to Bry getting bonus feats at 1st level, then every even level thereafter (2nd, 4th, 6th, etc...). That means that you won't need to rework her feats if you don't want to.
