Parallel Lines (OOC)

[Sorren]

Gah! I can't decide.
And you guys are no help...

 

[Eluvan]

DEFCON: I just realised, we need to talk about the Favored Soul class. I'm not sure which book it comes from (Complete Divine I imagine?), but I know it's not one of those I listed as appropriate sources. And there's a very clear reason why the books listed there are listed there - they're the ones I own. I have no access to the rules for the Favored Soul. So... you can either email them to me for approval (somebodys_fool@hotmail.com), or you can think about which other class might fit your concept.

 

[Sorren]

Decided to use the same backstory for my original character but took a different approach to the character creation. I may go Telepath instead of Kineticist at 2nd level, but I've got a whole level to decide. So what do you think?

Note - I decided to go with Mind Thrust instead of Far Hand for his Hidden Talent feat. It seems like a natural evolution. He can already contact minds through his racial ability to Mindlink. It seams reasonable that the first offensive power he awakens deals with harming minds in a manner similar to contacting them.

EDIT - Attached a picture of Sorren. He has the exotic quility that I was looking for. Also changed up equipment a bit.

 

[Eluvan]

Looks good, I like the angle you've taken. Should be fine.

 

[Badger]

I do not wish to seem like a power gamer, but could I perhaps take a second roll as well? I did not move the stats around just yet, as I wanted to see what your thoughts were.

This one's cutting it a bit fine. The 16 and the 14 make them playable stats in my opinion - still, your total modifiers are +3 which is the same as Sorren's so I think it would probably be hypocritical of me not to allow you to reroll. Use the name Badger #2, as per the precedent set by Sorren.

For future reference, I'm going to say that total modifiers of +4 are the cut-off point okay? Below that you can reroll.

 

[DEFCON 1]

Yeah, the Favored Soul comes from both the Complete Divine and the Miniature's Handbook. As far as the rules of the class are concerned... it's pretty much just a divine sorcerer but I'll see if I can't get you some more specific info (like class skills, weapon/armor profs, that sort of thing). I'm pretty sure if you just take the cleric and change the spell progression to match the sorcerer, that's pretty much about it, but you can put me on hold for now if you'd like until I can get something more concrete. No biggie.

 

[Sorren]

I just noticed... we have 2 warforged, 1 kalashtar, and an elf.

What a bunch of freaks.

BTW - I will be in training nearly all of next week so you won't be hearing much from me until the week after. I'll try to check in at least once a day though.

 

[Badger]

After the reroll, these are the raw stats I will be using...I know that while it seems that his low Chr would seem to be a major disadvantage, I am going to keep pumping skill points into the Use Magic Device skill and try to offset it as best I can..

I will get the full sheet up after supper tonight...

Thanks for the reroll...

Any thoughts on how I placed the stats? I am thinking of taking the Adamantine Feat for the armor now, especially since his Dex is as low as it is.

While I commend your courage, I cringe on your behalf. One of my players is a Warforged Artificer with a Cha of 12. Charisma is critical. He is doing every thing he can to get his UMD skill up, and still has trouble.
