(Recruiting) Kiss of Darkness--Adventure in my Homebrew Setting

[Brother Richard]

Brother Richard asks about name

Do you approve Garrin Darkshadow for invisible castle? (For my gnome illusionist pretender)

 

[Rystil Arden]

Sorry about that the previous post was incomplete, somehow I accidentally posted...must have hit just the right or wrong combination of keys.

List completed in original post now.

Cool, that seems to have everything--nice work!

Sure, approved.

I haven't read everybody's posts, but what about a rogue/wizard? I have an idea for a young human, orphaned and brought up by a heartless innkeeper, who develops rogue skills initially (sneaking around and breaking into rooms, picking pockets, and so on) but is actually very bright, and fascinated by the acquisition of knowledge.

I would see him leaving his "father" as soon as he possibly can, and somewhere along the way discovering the way of the wizard.

By the way, I played first edition for several years, had a long hiatus, and then came back in time for 3E. I play (rarely), DM (occasionally) and play a number of PbPs here, as you can see from my sig.

I can post daily (usually) and often will post more than once a day. My posts tend to be longish, with dialogue and roleplaying where appropriate, but there are times when RL intrudes, and my posting is a bit patchier. Having said that, a regular posting schedule keeps me in character, and so I find it easier to post, even if only briefly.

That could work--would you be going for Arcane Trickster? Also, if by Young you mean Age Category Young, then that generally has stat penalties associated with it, but if you meant really young in the Young Adult category, that's cool too

Those are indeed good stats

Oh, unleashed--you're good to roll

There that's it I think, sorry for the early post it was accidental.

Well we have (to this point):

Wow, that's it? I distinctly got the feeling there were like 30 ideas out there. Huh.

Anyway, can you picture Rhaka a human? I was thinking elf before I knew about VoP/fey possibility. But now that Rystil has allowed me to think those lines - human it is. Has to be. I can do more flavor stuff with the human - things like looks, personality, etc...

In exchange, their magic counts as fey, so Resist Nature's Lure applies 50% against it (so other Druids get +2 to save against you). Nymph's Kiss is a nice feat--and I've been known to take it too Plus I always like fey.

That's kinda cool that Nature's Lure works that way. I mean ... not cool for the character, but cool game mechanics wise. That seems like an awful small catch. Resist Nature's Lure is really the only downside? Because if that's it, I willtake you up on that. I'll probably still keep a decent stat in WIS - just because I do want her to have an element of "I know about the circle of life and I can hear that cat sneaking up behind me." But I am still going with that 9 in INT. It'll give me a reason for being who I truly am at heart. Wise ... but not always smart!

Oh, and do you want the character sheets posted or will you direct us to the appropriate RG thread once you have made the selection?

Selene is also a human, with a little bit of fey in her. I always liked humans too--That extra feat allows for so much fun

In all honesty, the original designer made it cost a feat, but I personally find that its a fair trade without a feat--there's a tiny catch (the RNL thing), and you switch out your casting stat from one that is arguably more powerful and synergises with many Druid skills to one that is weaker. Oh, and although I don't usually allow much Eberron stuff, there's a nice Greensinger feat for Druids that I didn't know existed when I made Selene that adds some nice Cha skills as class skills as well as some feyish spells to the spell list.

Please post here--you can SBLOCK if it's long.
