[OOC] Turmoil in Ghelspad [Scarred Lands] (FULL 5/5)

[Torillan]

My character is kind of done, I just need to pick equipment and spells.

Can I use the 3.5 Ray of Enfeeblement?

Absolutely. The game will end up being closer to 3.5 than 3.0, so I'm going to change the icon............

Kinda like the relation idea.. I figure Solaril had been traveling with Dreaor for a couple of years so may have ran into some of his family during that time, of course attacking one just because he is a slimmer and fairer of skin (not to mention well groomed...)shows you must learn the way of the Perfected One. Do not worry, I will help you along the path.

Goran only knows why great uncle Dreaor adopted you, I guess he had to pick up an elf to get anybody to go along with his kooky unarmored fighting path philosophy. since the Goran priests' divinations confirmed you are not seeking the downfall of the dwarves anymore, Harl will not attack you on sight. But he is more than happy to spar with you so you can "perfect your path" through being knocked on your butt repeatedly.

 

[Voadam]

Since Dreaor formally adopted you, we are cousins and family and Harl will back you in a fight. In fact he would have already gotten into brawls to defend clan honor when Uncle Dreaor's choice was disparaged by other dwarves. Of course Harl will still make fun of the elf's distaste for real dwarven style drinks.

This will also make Torvim your second cousin, not that Torvim seems to be aware of the social issues of clan honor, fear, hatred, and prejudice involved either way.

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

Give me a list with some basic info about them, and I'll see. Since I don't have either of those books (except the old 1st Ed. Fiend Folio) I'd prefer not to, but I'm open to possibilities.

The creature I'm most interested in is this:

Blood hawk:
Small Magical Beast
HD 1d10
AC 16 (1 size, +2 natural armor, +3 Dex)
Speed 20, fly 80 average
BAB +1
Attack +5 claw
Full Attack +5 2 claws, +0 bite
Damage claw 1d3+1, bite 1d4
Str 13, Dex 16, Con 11, Int 2, Wis 12, Cha 7
CR 1/2

SA: Wounding. A wound resulting from a blood hawk's bite or claw attack bleeds for an additional point of damage each round thereafter. Multiple wounds from such attacks result in cumulative bleeding loss. The bleeding can only be stopped by a Heal check DC 15 or the application of a Cure or Heal spell.

Also, I'd like to use the elemental templates from the Manual of the Planes, as celestial and fiendish animals seem less his style.

All of this sounds good. I've seen the MoP book (friend's copy), and I vaguely remember some bits. I'd say off hand that it's all reasonably balanced, so you have my blessing to use them.

What about the Dread Raven, from CC1? It casts spells as a Sor3, and is CR 1. A) Can I summon them at all? B) If so, can I pick the spell selection? C) If yes, am I limited to one selection, or can I have several to choose from?

Actually, in CC1 Revised it is a CR 3. So the Dread Raven is a no go.

Also, I've re-examined the Summon spell rules, and all of the summonings need to be outsiders. So this means that the Blood Hawk is no good either, since it is a magical beast. This is a reversal of my earlier approval. Sorry. All of the animals listed in the PHB are either "celestial" or "fiendish", if not directly from another plane.

That's why I asked about the elemental template. An air blood hawk is an elemental, which is also an acceptable summoned creature.

OK, now I see where you were going with this. Go ahead with your plan.

Sorry about the misunderstanding (it was tough waking up this morning). :\

It's entirely understandable. I didn't want to be up then any more than you did.

Do you have a revised CR for the Preychaser from CC2? It's listed as 1, which seems a trifle low.
