Just FYI, my backpacking trip has been cancelled, so I will be around this weekend after all. /

Hey their was something rolling around in the back of my head that I would like people's opinion on. Ferrix is using Mechanus armor from the Planar handbook it is +10 Armor +0 Dex mod and -10 armor check penalty. It lowers movement down to 15.

In the Races of stone there is virtually the same armor (don't remember the name) with essentially the same everything including the movement. It requires an exotic armor feat to use.

So essentially I am debating whether I should require an exotic armor profiency for mechanus armor or enhance the stuff requiring the exotic armor proficiency.

As a sidenote, being made of Mithril does not change the fact it lowered your movement down to 15, it just means it is Medium Armor.

Also, I think other than this little point, Ferrix, we are good to go with your equipment.

I think this may come as a shock to you, Wrahn, but I actually think its fine as normal, heavy armor. Heavy armor is generally not worth it, certainly not at the wealth levels where DEX may be easily gained. The loss of mobility is also pretty painful. I would say that the +1 AC versus reduced movement is not worth an exotic armor proficiency.

I agree. Compared with regular full plate (+9 AC counting Dex bonus) you trade movement for a +1 to AC. If you can fly or somehow reduce the movement penalty, the extra +1 AC bonus doesn´t seem to be exactly game breaking, and surely not enough to cost one feat.

Just stopping by, I'm still alive and checking the boards when I have a few minutes and access to a PC.

I have some background for Dimitri and will post it when I move the character to the RG thread (after I get back)

Wrahn, you mentioned something about starting on Friday - will you still be crankin' this puppy up this weekend, or what?

EDIT: Nevermind, I found the IC thread (yea!) but when do the rest of us come in?

Sorry about your Backpacking trip

I will work people in when I get their background. I know you posted yours Ashy but it seems very dependent on the Ferrix and Nac's background which I only have half of Ferrix's background and not where he stands and how he interacts with you. Remember this is just prologue stuff, enough to establish a feel for your character. We won't really start with the meat until Septemeber 10th.

I guess I am of a similar mind about the Exotic Armor proficiency, If anyone is interested in it, I think I will add +1 AC to the armors in the the races of stone.

Thanks, Wrahn, hopefully I'll have another chance soon....

Understood on the starting; that's cool. What did you think of the background. I know it was sketchy (and thus, not my normal style) but I wanted to leave it fairly open for you to fill in, change, or add on as needed. I'd be happy to fill it in more if needed!

Fill in as much as you wish. I will run with it.

 

[Ashy]

Cool - I will as soon as possible. Also, I will be adding some items and mundane equipment as well. I don't like walking around with all that cash...

my background has been posted. Waiting to hear about equipment and stuff.
