[Planescape] Squaring the Circle Redux - OOC (Full)

[deadestdai]

Alright, deadestdai, here are my comments for Flaust:

--XP should be 85,000 (88,000 - 3,000) after the LA buy-off at 3rd level
--You should change the "+2 Paragon lvl3" under her Dex stat entry to something like "+2 gloves". That caused me some confusion initially (I finally realized that 20 was indeed the correct Dex score).
--Her hitpoints should be 62. (I'm assuming you took rogue at 1st, fighter at 2nd, the order of the rest doesn't matter.) 10+6+5+5+3+3+3+3+3+5+5+11=62.
--BAB should be +9/+4 (3 fighter + 4 rogue + 2 chaotician), not +10/+5. Oddly enough, her ranged attack with Thingie is correct. Her damage with it, however, should be 1d6+1, not 1d6+3, unless there are some bonuses in there I don't know about/can't find.

Thanks for pointing these out - they are changed accordingly.

--You also forgot to take out her tiefling paragon bonuses for her saves, so all of them should drop by 2. (Fort +6, Ref +14, Will +4)

Hrm.... PlanarHB, Savage Species and UA all confused me. Planar doesn't give the bonuses as standard, Savage Species does (Tables in the back of the book) and UA offers them as a whole new deal that involves losing level to get them. But I changed them as requested.

--Well, you calculated the number of skills points she should have, correctly. However, when I add up the number of ranks, it's something like 151 total (unless my math is really bad) and that's not counting the Search skill that was listed twice. Uh, you're going to need to do some extensive reworking of her skills list.

I don't know what the hell I was doing here. All those years of not doing crack are finally showing through. 128 skill points are flung amongst my skills now, also realised that Chaotician makes Knowledge skills class skills, so was pleasantly surprised there too.

--And finally, the price you have listed for celestial armor is wrong: it should be 22,400 gp. The 12,550 gp value you have listed is the cost to create it. :\ This, unfortunately, throw off your wealth since it suddenly catapults the total value of your gear to something over 96,000 gp. If you want to keep the armor, you're going to have to ditch over 8,000 gp worth of gear.

That's my poor eyesight and lack of paying attention to detail..... Got rid of the armour and signed up for a +3 Mithral Chain Shirt and stuck a +1 on her buckler instead - much cheaper, though she will miss her chance to fly!

Ehr, that should be it, I think. You might want to note somewhere that her home place is the Outlands (Sigil).

Good point. Now I can only hope that Sigil will play some sort of significant part in the adventure!

I follow Planar HB rules, rather than Savage Species since it's 3.5. The paragon levels in UA kinda take after Monte Cook's AU, I think.

Okay, all your ranks look good now. Here's some more good news, though it will require some more work: mithral chain has no Armor Check penalty so Flaust would not suffer the -1 AC penalty you have listed (mithral armor decreases armor check up by up to -3) for those skills. Also, she would gain a +2 synergy bonus to the following skills: Balance, Tumble, Jump, and Sleight of Hand so all 4 of those skills go up by +2 as well.

A +3 mithral chain shirt costs 10,100 gp (9000 gp for enchancement + 1000 for mithral + 100 gp for chain shirt-- the masterwork component is included in the cost of the mithral), not 11,250 gp so you actually have an additional 1,150 gp to play with.

All changes happily made!

Again, was more than happy to spend those extra bucks!

Serpenteye, do you have a name and alignment for your ghost rogue?

Ferrix, how's character creation going?

Everyone, after some consideration on how I want to start the adventure and on party dynamics, I've decided that you will all know each other and have been adventuring together for some time, though not necessarily from the very beginning, and not necessarily always with the same people. You would be part of a larger group of friends and comrades-in-arms that work with each other, half of whom are off doing various things on their own at any one time. This allows the party to trust each other to watch their backs and care about each other, while giving me fluidity to insert new characters or whatever in the course of the adventure if need be. Hopefully, if you already have a background done, this won't interfere too much with it. I've got your most recent adventure covered (the one prior to this), so your histories should end before that.

I'll work on that, personality, appearance and background tomorrow.

creation is going alright, sort of rough without internet at home for the moment (can't wait till wednesday)...

it'll probably end up being Donner, would something akin to Isida's halfling hound rider PrC be okay? If not I'll probably end up with a gnome illusionist, would the UA alternatives and some of the racial substitutions from Races of Stone be okay if I made this guy?

 

[Thanee]

That's fine with me.

Bye

The UA alternatives would be fine, but I don't have Races of Stone, so no racial substitutions from that. And if you want to use Isida's Halfling Hound Rider for Donner, go ahead, since I've no luck at all in locating that darn Hunt Master / Hound Master PrC.

Sounds good. I'll have Flaust's background up tonight or tomorrow after work (5.30pmPST). Either way, don't wait on me, I'll write it all so it won't cause any problems with the group.

I updated the Hound Master again, incorporating Ferrix's suggestions.
