Redclaw's Eyes of the Lich Queen (Eberron Adventure) (Recruiting Closed)

[OnlytheStrong]

Twisted, did you still want to "sort of" combine backgrounds? What do you want our relationship to be? Still the ex-lover thing? I'll leave that up to you. I assume we would be one of the ones that the group picked up. I was thinking about my scout and pretty much decided to play him as a combination of things. He will be stealthy but a damage dealer (as long as he can move 10ft before he shoots). He will also be able to find traps (though not disable them) and track. I have to find a way around the disabling traps thing. I'd hate to say "hey there's a trap there. Someone go trip it."


Right now his name is Bregan Swiftstride. Although I'm not too fond of the last name. I haven't decided on his alignment yet. I will work with ya on details of the character before I really get into him.

Actually, Disable Device has been errated in to the Scout's class skills.

Page 11: Scout’s Class Skills
Add Disable Device to the scout’s list of class skills.
(This addition fits with the flavor of the class.)

HAHA! Thanks!

Possessions: Coming soon...[/sblock]

I believe a 15 cost 8 pts, so I put a 15 in Str and put my lv 4 pt into that as well. I could then afford to put a 14 in dex. That should be 28. I haven't did my equipment yet, but I think I am going with a chain shirt+1 and a light shield as well as a ring of prot+1. Weapons are decided as is.

I can't remember if duskblades are prof in med/heavy armor. Crystal keep lists only light armor, but I swore that they got at least med as well. Doesn't make much sense for them to ignore ASF for med armor but not be prof in it.

Combat wise, he is likely to give foes a chance to surrender first, disarming those as he sees necessary, he should be able to beat most normal humanoids in that respect. His AC is a bit low, so he is more than likely going to be working next to another heavily armored target, and channeling a shocking grasp for a big hit and +9 (or +12 when wearing metal armor)to hit and 1d8+3+5d6 to damage.

 

[Fangor the Fierce]

Duskblades are proficient with all martial weapons, as well as all armors and shields (except tower shields)...

At 4th level, you gain ability to use Medium Armor without arcane spell failure chance.

This is a prelim of the Human Copper Totem Dragon Shaman. He's going to be the rear guard, or middle fighter type character, usually defending any arcane or weaker people in the group. If there aren't any that qualify, then he's going to stay near the fighters, to boost their abilities with his auras.

He carries a wand of Cure Light Wounds, as he is lucky sometimes and actually gets to use it. Eventually, he's going to be able to heal with a touch, and at next level, it should be something like 36 points of healing.

I see this guy as one of the first that Drekhad managed to sign up, or picked up from the brothers little escapades.

[/sblock]

The bracketed spells (Convinction and Close Wounds) are from some complete book (I've found them in the spell compendium, and should be reprints) - can I take them?
For all that I'd like to fit Lesser Restoration in, I'll just take a couple of scrolls along, just in case... so beware of poisons, everyone!
Later I'll double check the equipment - right now those are just "place holders", so I don't forget anything important (and will choose 6 orisons).

 

[Redclaw]

Creamsteak- You're missing your longbow on your possessions list.

Evolution- Your melee attack bonus with sword and dagger is off. You should be at +8 (+5 BAB, +3 str)
And you're missing your two bonus 0 level spells for your Int bonus.

Fangor- Your stats are a 32 point build (6 +6 +10 +0 +0 +10)
Force of Personality only impacts Will saves vs. Mind-Affecting spells and abilities
Even using your skill focus for Bluff should only give you 8 ranks (max at 5th level) +3 skill focus, +3 ability for a total of 14
UMD max ranks is 4 (Cross class)
With your intelligence penalty, you should only have 16 ranks to use anyway (2+1-1 x8).
You can't use knowledge untrained.

WakkaWakka-
I don't have Complete Divine in front of me, can you double-check the spells known rules. A 5th level Sorcerer would onle know 4 1st and 2 2nd (no ability bonus on spells known.)
I'm fine with conviction (that gives the morale bonus to saving throws, right?) but I need to look at close wounds.
