Recruiting -- S@squ@tch's Against the Giants - Team Gold

[grufflehead]

Just when I'm thinking a few of my games are drying up or moving at a snail's pace, I came across the thread and managed to spot the fact you were recruiting. I'd need a wee bit of time getting up to speed on reading what's gone before and options available, but I'd like to apply for one of the spots. I'm old enough to remember when the Giants series came out first, but like so many of the 'classic' modules, I never played them. I'm still fairly new to the pbp scene (relatively) so not a whole heap of posts to my name, but I've gamed with Scott (and hope to be part of another game with him soon) and Hero and I are in a couple of games - hopefully they'll vouch for my willingness to stay the course (if not the quality of my ramblings )

I'll betray my ignorance before we start: I'm going to have to scrounge a copy of the Eberron book to read as I have never even picked it up (but I know a man who has...) - some of those classes of the existing players are unfamiliar to me (because I don't have a lot of 3.5 material), so if we have a fairly free choice, what are the party lacking - fighters, spellcasters, something else?

Well, the remaining group consists of a gnome archivist, a dwarven cleric, an elven sorceress, a githzerai monk, strange crusader.

Just lost the warlock and duskblade. So, I'd say the group is in need of some front line help.

 

[Scott DeWar]

I give a most resounding good word about Grufflehead!

 

[Xaositek]

If you're still looking for people, this sounds interesting, I could think up a few concepts for a front-line fighter.

OK, having looked at the RG, if Xaositek is interested in the fighter slot, then between him, the 'Crusader' (the recruit thread says no ToB so just in case Xaositek is thinking of something from there) and a little help from the monk and cleric (who seems pretty well set up to fight giants!), that seems to cover it fairly well. I would have thought a bit more Arcane power wouldn't go amiss if the only caster is the sorceress? Alternatively I'm not seeing any missile users. I'll have a look and see what I can come up with.

 

[s@squ@tch]

The ToB requirement has been redacted, as there is a crusader already present, and one of the recently removed PC's was a warblade mix.

Xaoistek - you are most welcome to submit a PC as well!

As you will notice from the IC, the gith is a non-combatant, more of a stealth PC who rolls natural 1's on most critical skill checks.

The curse of Invisible Castle strikes again!

I'm just playing about with some numbers at the moment, trying to get a workable fighter/caster combo. I was looking at Battle Sorceror but you take a big hit on spells so not sure about it....

 

[s@squ@tch]

I always thought the abjurant champion was a nice fighter caster route -- you lose one spell level, but you get the Fighter BAB progression, unless I'm screwing that up with another PrC.

 

[grufflehead]

I've posted up a character in the RGII - can you check you are happy with it?

 

[Scott DeWar]

AH! Grufflehead, you have a character so you are now officilly on board! I am glad to see you here!

Xaoistek: player to player welcome!
