(double post)

I'll be posting a Half-Orc Barbarian2/Druid7 sometime today.

I'm going to take a walk on the wild side.

 

[Storminator]

Storminator, what race and class is Dorn I can't seem to find it in the stat block. (though I can guess his class )

I'll slap it in there. How's this for lame? I edited the post to include that info, then I noticed I double posted, so I deleted the edited one!

Human fighter, obviously.

PS

edited spelling of edited...

Storminator, no problem as you can seee I'm not immune to the curse of the double post either

Garyh, sounds interesting. Somewhere in FRCS I think it mentions that Druids are allowed to use the favored weapon of their patron, which will help the character.

Name for thread: Death in a Dreamscape

Remember that 80's movie?
Dreamscape?
Gotta get that part in the title somehow - this campaign idea sounds so much like it, and cool.

Too bad we can't play Dream Researchers.....

If you like the idea of a Paladin3/Ftr4/Singh Rager2, I could work it up.

Or my other idea is a Bruce Banner/ Hulk Frenzied Berserker: kind of an almost-pzophrenic guy that was systematically abused by his mom and society, inspired by the Disturbed song "Down With the Sickness".

I'm just testing an idea to track combat. This is just a screenshot of an Excel file for a combat grid. It may be too much of a pain to do this for combats other than the most important but I wanted to see if this idea would even work.

Feel free to tell me if you think this idea stinks!


Reapersaurus: Frenzied Berserker always seemed a bit homicidal to other PCs for my liking...

that map looks great, and that's what Heavy G has been doing the past year with the Non-Iconic Brute Squad.

Talk to him, if you want feedback from the DM's perspective on using Excel to map - as a player, I love them.

About Frenzied - ya, I agree about the homicidal part. You gotta hear the song to get an idea for the raging part, but the rest of the time, he'd be actually quite meek.
I think there are some cheaty-type ways of getting around the killing-your-partners thing as mentioned on a someewhat-recent Rules Thread. (was it the Cleric casting Emotion, or Calm Animals, or something? I dunno)

Changing the Singh Rager progression to Ranger1/Ftr2/Pal1/Hospitaler3/Singh Rager3 might be really interesting....death from horseback AND death when shield-bashing.

Garyh, sounds interesting. Somewhere in FRCS I think it mentions that Druids are allowed to use the favored weapon of their patron, which will help the character.

Indeed, FR Druids are allowed to use their diety's favored weapon without breaking their oaths. They don't get profieciency in it, but the 2 levels of Barbarian should fix that. I'm currently perusing FR: Faiths and Pantheons reading up on potential dieties.

Basically, I'm thinking along the lines of a Shaman or Farseer from WarCraft III.

Reapersaurus, Interesting character concept. I can't wait to see the story behind him.

One thing, I don't have DotF with me right now so I can't check, but isn't Hospitaler the PrestigeClass where you get a Fighter BAB and Full Spellcasting progression. If so I'm afraid I won't allow it since really it so much better than the core classes.

I'm interested. I was thinking of a psion/nomad psi-warrior type of character. Probably elven, and to tie into the story-line, his dreams during his trance state are much more pronounced than an average elf. As such, he has be outcast somewhat. This has forced him to look within himself and this self-awareness has led to the psionic abilities.

My vote for the campaign name has to be 'Enter Sandman.' Without a doubt.
