Rystil Arden said:Totally agreed. In fact, if it goes in the VoP character's bag, it should be treated as if it was already with the charity in question, and other PCs can't use it, even if they want to. In fact, since druids aren't exactly known for being the "donate-to-worldly-charities sort" I may be willing to work out a special ritual/magic that you character uses that drain magic items and gems to strengthen the life force of the world or something like that
Now that would seriously catch my interest. As an exhalted character - perhaps a "Redeeming to the Earth the Balance of Life" ceremony? It could definately involve loot taken from evildoers and magically absorbing its energy into the world. Note: this could include both gems, coin, and/or items. I am totally into that.
[sarcastic yet serious tone]Rhaka says to her companions, "Through this ritual the energy of the magic bloody mace is drained into the earth. Next year a beautiful yew tree shall grow as the earth redeems the polluted evil that this item has been used for and changes it into a benefical source of life."[/sarcastic yet serious tone]
Okay. I think I've got a good concept going. I'm going:
STR - 11
DEX - 16
CON - 16
INT - 9
WIS - 17
CHA - 9
... Although the Cha will hopefully increase with that VoP boost. The stats might change, though. I am really struggling with that STR. I'd really like to put the 9 into STR and shift that 11 down to CHA. But, the VoP Druid is really going to mandate that this character have some melee abilities - because a sling weilding druid as their primary weapon (before wild shaping) just isn't going to be effective. With an average strength, at least I can hope to use a sickle effectively!
I had thought about putting the STR at 16 and the CON at 11 but I could only envision those HP lost. So unless you have a suggestion, I think that's the way it'll end up as far as ability stats go. I'm not worried about the INT being so low. No big deal for Rhaka. Might actually make for an interesting character. Wise in some areas ... but not real knowledgable.Quick question for you: Are we creating level 1 characters? And as we create - should we post the finished ones here or will you select from the lot of us before we put up a finished character sheet? Heh ... I'd ask about starting gold, but...

Rystil: Thanks for OK'ing my stats. I was trying to be good, but I guess I got too excited. I've actually written up my charcter already, but it's sitting on my work hard drive (I know, I know...). Anyway, I'll format it and post it tomorrow. As a first level human fighter there's nothing too strange going on, but I thought I'd take the Stand Still feat. It's in the psionics section of the SRD (and presumably the XPH) but it's not a psionic feat. If you're not familiar with it, I'll post it, but you seem to be a psionics fan, so I assume you have the XPH.
I did decide to put the 15 in Int. Extra skill points are nice.

Rystil Arden said:Yup, I told him--oh boy can he ever reroll on that one!
I shall forever be known as the man with real sucky rolls.
You know it's bad when you can keep your highest stat, drop a 13, and still qualify for a hopeless character!
And everyone wonders why when I play in games as a player I let the DM roll for me if they want to!

Well, the one 9 I can sluff into INT. [How many times do you hear that?] It's the second 9 that is killing me. If I could only take the 9 and the 11 and come out with two 10's!
Actually, the roll is pretty nice. I beleive it is a 38 point build. So I'm not complaining too much. If she lives long enough to get a few levels into her - she'll be a marvelous character to play.

Yup, that's exactly what I was getting at flavour-wise
It is certainly very unusual for a Druid, but it could be interesting. Compare to Selene, my Druid in Bront's campaign, who has 8 Strength, 8 Dex, 12 Con, 18 Int, 18 Cha, 17 Wis
This is mainly because those beautiful physical stats go bye-bye when you Wildshape.Rystil Arden
