Recruiting: Rowaini Musketeers--One for All and All for One!

[Rystil Arden]

Bah, that sucks

It's the rules. If you shoot two fireballs (one Quickened) and they both get saved with a half point left, you don't get to add those together either. In the end, it results in one point of damage per attack, so it isn't too big a deal.

But I was thinking Hyancinthe could have been a gambler which have lost too much to Grabriel and would now be in his work to pay back his debt.

Unleashed: What do you think of that? And as to have a Roague as you lackey? Most probably, he will have such skill to disarm traps and lock, Profession gambling and all that it is needed to cheat in games.

Yeah, I figured you might have been nice about it since you're doing the 1/2 rule though, since you kinda get screwed with an odd strength bonus.

I could always adjust the stats to raise strength... but nah.

I'd give him social Rogue skills too so he can help with PR and also to keep him more relevant (I'm not seeing this game as huge on traps and dungeon crawls through traditional dungeons). Especially if unleashed is a Blademaster, having someone who can help him with those skills could be useful (others will have them, of course, but may be using them on their own ).

Now that gives me ideas... how much gambler will he be? And is he the kind of man who like cheating?

As Bront want to do a Troubadour, I'll play a Rogue, so I'll be the one with trap finding. After all, isn't the role of a lackey to disable the traps (or get killed by the trap instead of his master )

No, I wasn't thinking of taking a Rogue level, I was thinking of being a Rogue purely and simply. I've played many Roague, Rinaldo being one of my best success as a merchant. But I was thinking Hyancinthe could have been a gambler which have lost too much to Grabriel and would now be in his work to pay back his debt.

Hmm, I was thinking Gabriel might have caught him cheating, though owing him money works too. Instead of killing him for the slight, he's taken the Rogue on as a lackey as he can use the skills of such a man in his quest for revenge.

Yeah, the need for social skills will vary, depending on where I go with class. What is Blademaster a combination of Rystil, if it's not too much trouble?

Poker = Bluff + Sense Motive.

It's sure he will have some social skills, maybe more... the big problem will be to choose between +4 Cha or +1 sp per level... The -2 Int hurt... or maybe he could be from another place, but I think Rowani is not a bad choice either.

Rystil,
A few questions as I develop a background. Is it common, and should I pursue, for musketeers to use a nom de guerre to protect honor, family wealth?

And would a knight even use one?

I am limited without the knight write-up, no pressure. It'll come eventually, but I will wait to finalize some details until then.

Are there any feats available outside the SRD? I was considering taking Improved unarmed combat. Porthos was well know to pop a man atop his head and kill him.

The dueling weapons you mentioned earlier, are they medium weapons then (rather than light?) I am trying to figure out, form all the cool feats, which way to go. Disarm, Sunder, WF, IUC, Improved Grapple.

Post 73 has an early outline of the character and background, if you have a chance you can take a look and see how he's coming.

Will be be starting as musketeers? Or joining soon? What city will we be starting in? I know that this may all be up in the air (and more than likely not the same for any two of us), just trying to put together a cohesive background.

Any additional Tymadeau geography, history, place names or proper nouns to help with writing?

Thanks again

[SBLOCK=Fenris]@Nom de Guerre, probably not. Being in the Musketeers is an honour--it's not like the Scarlet Pimpernel

Feats are on an ask-me basis. There are many books I allow in usual games, but these gestalt classes can unbalance certain choices sometimes, particularly multiclass aid feats (Complete Adventurer, I'm looking at you). I'm fairly likely to allow feats, but ask specifically for each one.

The weapons are in the compilation. Off-hand, I believe the Sabre is one-handed 1d8 18-20/x2 and Cutlass is light 1d6 18-20/x2.

Background will vary based on character, but everyone will be a member of the Musketeers, whether they just joined the day before or are a grizzled veteran (both perfectly possible). I can't commit to a placename because I'm a wuss and am contemplating accepting two groups after seeing so many good ideas, and if I do, you'll be two different squads in the same shared world operating in different parts of the country.

Cool. I was checking since Athos, Porthos and Aramis were all false names.........

Can I assume at least that it is His Majesties Royal Musketeers?
