Rathan's Problem Down Under [3.5 OOC/Recruiting One More: Need Arcane Type]

[Rathan]

Neurotic: As I said before this is my first jaunt into DM'ing... therefore I'm not making huge changes to things over and over again so it fits a player better.... the changed I've made for you I feel are within my means and my know-how.... I am declining any other changes to your class and such.... either play it how it is... or find another class... to me I feel if you chance everything about a class.. it's not the same darned class anymore.. heh... no more chances please.... takes it how it is as of now.. or leave it.... I'm putting my foot down here as the DM.... sorry it had to be you I needed to do this with.... no hard feelings I hope...

Neurotic:

Languages... picture it as the US in some ways... northerners have different accents than southerners yet they speak the same language.. for simplicities sake I'm going to say that's how it is as well here in my game.... same language.. just different ways of pronouncing it...

No... sorry.. no having trained animals to do actions for you... otherwise you might as well be giving everyone the druids ability to have an animal companion to everyone....

with stellar caution you know the meteor hit and scorched the earth... you're expecting this.. so no it won't always be on... if you're surprised by something you won't get the bonus... but if you meet something.. a monster lets say somehow effected by the starfall..... your 'spidey sense' might go off and sent you into a heightened sense of defense... thus granting you the +1 Insight Bonus to AC.....

That covers stellar caution.... mostly it's too powerful to have on at ALL time.... so when something pertaining to the star fall that requires your AC to be a factor... (a monster attacking you for instance tainted with some sort of power from the starfall as an example).. then you would see the bonus to AC from this trait come into effect...

Elven is the most common language to have things written in magic with.... though infernal and celestial are rare forms of magic language as well...

Languages.... again this is covered in the above quote.....

Any other questions my players?


.... RG is here for those done with there characters.... so far everyone looks good to be posted here in the Rogue's Gallery

Double post

Of course I play!

Hm, it seems you got the wrong impression.
No hard feelings, it's your right as DM And I did push the most

I believe that 'changing class' reference is about this part:

How do you feel about stealing
a) more then one spell with one hit by sacrificing more then 1d6
b) one spell, one spell effect and/or other DIFFERENT things by sacrificing coresponding d6s

I was simply asking for clarification. As written there is nothing that says that it cannot be done, altough I believe the intention of the rules was that you can steal ONE type of effect with one attack. I'm not so sure about stealing different things by sacrificing more then one sneak dice. Could anyone offer more insight into this? Ambrus?

To clear things further: I'd play a spellthief even if you hadn't allowed good reflex or any other change. It's an interesting class, there is no powergaming involved and there is six of us so we are fairly covered.

Good for Stellar caution.

Is it possible to have trained animal without having Animal Handling?

simple animal cannot measure to druid's or even rangers companion especialy with owner not having Wild Empathy. It's simply addition just as warhorse (trained!) would be for mounted fighter. Didn't mean nothing by it, it just struck me as cool addition to thief, especialy one needing to get into wizards hideouts. It's totaly unimportant.


As for languages, Berrek would then speak Common, Elven and one language that would be fairly rare such as orcish, giant, dwarven or draconic. Depends on what you say he could learn in this I don't have any preference in this.

What would be respective goverments of countries? Mageocracy for Jormikfen, Theocracy for Bowtorindale , some corporate/guild based oligarchy in Gerpalistar and various clan systems Hartsboar and 'standard' feudal in Lorken? Would that sound about alright?


Should I flesh out more of The Black Hand or we leave it blank for now? The problem I can forsee is with our mage seeing the badge openly displayed. The reaction may be fear ('oh, no, one of THEM') or shock ('why do you expose yourself? You should be SECRET organisation' ) or non-recognition of course. Berrek doesn't konw that of course it's sipmly one more item on his person that may be key to his past.


Posted Berrek in RG, call to everyone for review. Added description, some formatting and links to all feats and flaws and typed in item descriptions.

Neurotic: Yea one spell seems more than plenty when stealing a spell with an attack... any more would just be... GODLY at higher levels.....

something like a trained hawk or a warhorse is fine... it will listen to simple commands and such but nothing outlandish as a trained pet.... things within normal reasoning will be permitted.... and yes it's possible but don't expect it to listen well to your commands without ranks in it is all I have to say heh...

I'll allow you to take draconic as it IS taught in some magic circles as language not easily deciphered for written texts.... Giant would be a bit of a far fetch as it's not as common as most languages.... dwarven is fine.. orcish would be fine as well...

Your government ideas are about spot on for what I had envisioned them to be actually.... more will be fleshed out as they are hit upon in the campaign.. if that happens that is heh....

You can flesh out a bit more about them and send it to me in pm.... not everyone needs to see it.. but be forewarned I may or may not use whole sections or any at all of your depiction of them.... depends on how I like the write-up but before I butcher your work.. I want you to be made aware of this fact is all

Everyone: I want to say IC thread and 'game on' may be as close as Monday mid day sometime..... but then again that all depends on how much I have to do that day...

 

[Rathan]

alright all..... this is my FIRST attempt at making a map.. it's.... goddy and almost child like.. but hey... I'm NOT a cartographer... so this is the best you get! NO laughing damn it! heh

Rathan, hate to be a pest, but what exactly is the Snake w/ Wings on Crystal, as while the description is great, I think it's the only one which hasn't mentioned what form it takes at some point (i.e. amulet, belt, cloak, shield, etc.)?

Edit: Also, I'm assuming the stat bonus is an enhancement bonus. Is that right or are you designating it as something else?

 

[Rathan]

Unleashed: Your item is the only no traditional item on the list unleashed. Treat it as a non slotted item. As long as you are carrying it with you on your person...you get the benefits of the item..... if you would like or if it would make it more simple I can make them crystal bracers.....

The bonuses such as Nat armor are in addition to what other Nat armor bonuses one may already have. The +'s to stats are to base stats just like one might find in progression in the Savage Species for instance. Anything else will be dealt with as the levels are gained and the game progresses...

Edvik has been posted to the RG, updated with his artifact, and had some final finishing touches.

Ready to roll.

No, that's fine, I'm happy with it in as is ... I just wanted to make sure of everything before we started.

Edit: Redid the format of my character sheet as I’ve gotten used to using one like that recently, but I can change it back to the old one if you prefer Rathan.
