[PBP] Calling all Ungrateful Dead

[kinem]

Nerull has Death and Taxes - oops I mean Death, Trickery, and Evil.

Nephtys, instead of posting a character here, you shoulda sent it to jackmallah@yahoo.com.

Corpsecrafted gives an enhancement bonus to Str; that doesn't stack with other enhancement bonuses.

AC is 27 it looks like (bracers +4)

I don't have the 'splatbooks' and need more info on Reckless Attack, Knockdown & Divine Might before I allow them.

I reminder for everyone since I haven't checked the math too carefully: As posted in the House Rules, the MW bonus stacks with a magic attack bonus. This is why most magic weapons are MW.

Thanks.

Ah, well, I trust everyone not to metagame based on what I've posted ooc.

Corpsecrafted gives an enhancement bonus to Str; that doesn't stack with other enhancement bonuses.

But its an innate bonus, gained at his creation, from a completely different kind of source than the enhancement given by a magical item... I'll go ahead and change it .

You're right about AC, thanks .

Knockdown and Divine Might are in the 3.5 SRD, Reckless attack is like Power Attack (and has it as a prerequisite iirc) except that it allows a character to sacrifice AC for a bonus to their attack bonus in a one-for-one trade.

DIVINE MIGHT [DIVINE ]
Prerequisites: Str 13, turn or rebuke undead ability, Power Attack.
Benefit: As a free action, spend one of your turn or rebuke undead attempts to add your Charisma bonus to your weapon damage for 1 full round.

KNOCK-DOWN [GENERAL]
Prerequisites: Base attack bonus +2, Improved Trip, Str 15.
Benefit: Whenever you deal 10 or more points of damage to your opponent in melee, you make a trip attack as a free action against the same target.

Seems I forgot to take Improved Trip... Though I suppose he gets it for free as long as he uses a Spiked Chain.

Cry me a blood river It explicitly says enhancement bonus, and I agree that it should be and is better balanced.

I will allow Divine Might and Reckless Attack, but not Knockdown.

BTW don't take it personally - every character has had things that needed to be corrected or splatbook material that I rejected or need more info on. I usually don't allow (and don't own) splatbooks, but in this case it's kind of hard to argue that it is a core rules campaign. IMO the splatbooks should never have been published and often aren't balanced. Not as bad as material made for Forgotten Realms though.

 

[Nephtys]

All right. It does make the strength bonus a lot less valuable than if it had been counted as a racial bonus, but I suppose the extra HPs make it a pretty decent choice anyway. (Though I very much hope it cannot be affected by Mordenkainens Disjunction, like most other Enhancement bonuses.)

 

[kinem]

I'd say it can't, not to mention that you save 16k gp if you don't go for a +6 belt of giant strength.

I know you still need to send me background, but the IC thread is open for business.

The character is completed. I'll remove him from this thread and post him in my ooc thread on the game-site (it's convenient for me to have the character close at hand to where I play the game, if I just save it to my computer it will get buried in the mess).

Dear DM and Fellow Players,

My access to the Internet is going to be largely limited to my work time, rather than the time at home. This means that my ability to participate in PbP is drastically affected. I'm not sure how long this will last (most likely several months), and my work connection is s-l-o-w and infrequent. Unfortunately this means that I must withdraw from the games I tried so hard to be in. I apologize deeply for any inconvenience this creates for any of you. I hope to be back at the EN World PbP forums sometime late winter or next spring.

Regards,
Erudite

 

[Nephtys]

Oh no, not the High Manducatrix... It's a shame for the party to lose such a cool character.

An opening has appeared!

See this board for info.

Review the house rules carefully. I'm not using core rules exclusively for this game, but prefer basically core as I have few splatbooks and think they are unbalanced, so ask first. You would have to send me all info on a PrC in a splatbook I don't have. Initiate of 7 veils PrC is not allowed.

I prefer daily posting and you must be willing and able to do so! But you must also realize that there will be some slow times, though - days without posts - and must be patient. You also must realize that this a long term commitment - a game tends to last a year - so don't bother if your posting situation likely to change in that time.

If you for any reason decide to drop out, you must tell me by post or email or a pack of ghost hounds will hunt you (the player) down and nibble on your soul until there is nothing left of you but a rotten husk.
