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

[Guest 11456]

Rolled stats for Thrik are: 11, 11, 13, 8, 14, 16, 17 (rolls)

Here's my reroll. Remarkably similar to my last...
17,12,12,11,11,9,9... I guess I could drop the 17 scratch it...

Yup, that's eerie--almost exactly the same Point Buy with a high of 17. You could definitely scrap it, and at 28 Point Buy, chances are high that you could best it

Eluvan--approved to roll for the name Eluvan. Also a nice long post. Let's see:

As far as picking a Bard, as I mentioned before, this may be one of the few games where a Bard would be a useful addition to the party, thanks to being able to put Bardic Knowledge to use on overdrive. As for the Troubadour, I can't speak for playing one as a PC in D&D, but I do know I've played Bards in MMOs that only have songs and enjoyed it, but that's up to you. Rogue definitely works, and Cleric could be fun too--your Oghmite seems like he would be a good candidate for Cloistered Cleric from UA or perhaps Archivist from HoH (its in the free preview on the Wizards site if you don't have that book).

Dwarven Fighter or Ranger always works too

I'm thinking a elven archer.

Elven archers definitely work, and there are some interesting PrCs for archers, most of which I allow (I can't think of any I disallow off the top of my head).

I've been roleplaying for about 25 years. Mainly D&D but also many others. I've been playing all sorts of games here since I joined back in March of 2003. I have also DMed a few things as well. I am able to post multiple times a day during the week. Less then that on the weekends and during the holidays. I like unique characters. So...

What about trolls?

I would allow a Troll character (but when I build the Monster Class, you wouldn't get Regeneration for a while, of course ) but it may suffer from the 'Egads--it's a hideous Usually Chaotic Evil Giant!' syndrome that the azer escaped (the reaction to the azer was more of a 'Woah! That dwarf's on fire!')

Hey, its me, I'm here too Been playing D&D for a long time. I have been a regular poster on these Pbp boards for a few years now. I can usually post a number of times per day, though weekends and evenings are more difficult for me (I post at work ). I have been making a conscious effort to be more engaging in my posts rather than just answering questions directed to me, though Obscurity is not the best example.

I'll use Erekose on IV just like for VP.

Rolls:
For Kiss of Darkness
(4d6.takeHighest(3)=11)
For Kiss of Darkness (take 2) (4d6.takeHighest(3)=14, 4d6.takeHighest(3)=12, 4d6.takeHighest(3)=11, 4d6.takeHighest(3)=15, 4d6.takeHighest(3)=16, 4d6.takeHighest(3)=12)

So thats what 16, 15, 14, 12, 12, 11, 11.

I dont have a concept yet, but how do you feel about Arcana Evolved or the Complete Book of Eldritch Might?

I've never used Invisible Castle, but I'll work it out. Account name will be 'Legildur'.

Works for me. If they kill me, that's life (or would it be death then?). I'm going for the gentle giant achitype (he likes bunnies and squirrels, or somesuch). Let me know what the build would start out at and I'll get him fleshed out.

I like Arcana Evolved, but I don't find the casters to be balanced well when added to a normal campaign (there are some things that AE casters do better and some that they do worse, and while the differences are balanced, if you let them do the things they do better and let the other casters do the things the AE casters do worse, you end up with a disaster, from experience), but I would allow Warmain or Unfettered, for instance (and I've had an Unfettered Halfling Pirate who fought toe-to-toe with his Fighter/Rogue and Swashbuckler allies and did very well for himself ). I bought the CBoEM for my brother, so I'll have access to it at home and not yet, but I allow the majority of the stuff in there, though not all of it (I recall a spell that blows up Natural Armour that I didn't like, but there's many more that I do like).
