Likewise mateyboy. Desperately trying to find new place to live instead of a mate's floor.

If you have time, try to email me on the Underdark game we are about to start re: Hunt Bonded Companion? Was hoping we could discuss all about it so I could write it into my char's background.

Hope stuff get's better soon mate....

Hey all.

I was poking around my characters and started wondering in what direction to take Tsu'koka with his next level/few levels. I'm not really used to playing in the deep end (Tsu'koka has more hit points and feats than most of my other characters combined) so I thought I would ask. A couple of levels in fighter for some feats was one option I was tossing around. However, I did rather make a hash of his initial selection of feats ...

On the other hand, at 11th level, he would get access to 4th level spells - namely Monster Summoning which I have been itching to try out (don't have the Charisma bonus for it at the mo').

The way I see it at the moment, if they are successfull, Tsu'koka is probably looking to get command of Zugareth's some of hobgoblin forces. Or something along those lines. The longer term goal would be returning to drive "whoever" out of the Blasted Lands, his people's/tribe's ancestoral homeland.

BTW, saw Uriel around. He says we should be rolling again soon.

Woof!
 

W00t! I need my Durgo fix, man!

As far as long term plans go, while it can easily be said that bards are skilled in many fields but master none, you may want to focus your feats a little more closely so you can be very good at something. These levels of play can be dangerous if you don't have a schtick. ;)

That said, "Multishot + Shot on the Run" or "Rapid Shot + Far Shot" will keep you out of the middle of things. You can also use many of your ranged attack feats with a Whip (which I believe bards are still proficient with). At any rate, the best advice I can offer is to stick to find something he's good at and get better at it. :D

Word. Tsu'koka just about wet himself when the giant appeared on the scene. Been concentrating on staying alive mostly since then. Although I have discovered that behind D&B is usually fairly safe. So been concentrating on keeping them alive might be a more accurate way of putting it. :p

Been looking at his current feats - not even sure what I was thinking. Tried to cover too many bases and a bit of cut and paste discontinuity. The next few encounters should give me a better idea of which direction to go in. Going to toss Tsu'koka in at the messy end and see what happens.
 

Ya, I can only see you getting very minimal benefit out of some of those feats (like Power Attack) unless given sufficient time to buff.
 

Going back over them kinda reminds me of where I was coming from. I tried to build the character around the the Song Speaker concept - based on the idea that his role would largely involve supporting (hobgoblin mainly) troop types in battle. Hence the things like Combat Casting and Mounted Combat, as well as the array of spells. For that role he would work, I think.

This game just works at a whole 'nother level.

The really big puzzle is why Spell Focus (Enchantment)? I think that I was thinking Scare and Fear are enchantments, or it was for a spellset I changed out of. Or perhaps I just really wanted to boost Lullaby. :P

Looking forwards to giving him a bit of a workout.
 

Fret not, flesh walls of the Horde!

Uriel,

Did you really think I could give up Durgo!?!? DURGO!? One of my favorite characters EVAR!?!? You silly insomniac, you.

Of all my games, this is the one I just can't put down as it's the only one I can honestly say I eagerly look forward to every time I check my subscribed threads. :)

So without further ado, let's see what's behind door number one, Ron!

-Nate/Durgo

Aha...I read this yesterday, wondered what the heck you were on about and JUST read your general post.

Hmm...I had better keep things interesting fo Durgo, then.
Perhaps a Duel with a Solar...

In lighter news, I will be passing through texas in June/July while travelling with a friend who is moving back to South Carolina.
I have to look at a Map to see if Dallas is in our path before we shoot down for debauchery in New Orleans and beyond.

:D
