Reopened: Agents of D.E.L.V.E. (UA/Dagon Magazine)

[Sharon Macguire]

I'm here, checking in. I'm the one Sorrow has lined up.

Posting to Rogue's Gallery ASAP.

 

[Voadam]

Still looking for one?

With ECL 6 and max LA +4 I could make a non evil ogre pretty quick and be ready to jump in. Or an Azer, though he'd be really weak with only 2HD. Or a natural lycanthrope. Or I could get creative with other sources as far as classes/races since the RG includes a wizard, cleric, and fighter/rogue, covering the basic niches.

...the RG includes a wizard, cleric, and fighter/rogue...

And don't forget our trusty meatshield, Erran! Welcome aboard, Voadam. Pretty much anything goes, as the Legion recruits from accross the multiverse. Lemme see whatever concept you like best, and I'll work with you from there. Just remember that D.E.L.V.E. means Deep Exploration Low-Visibilty Extraction. We don't really want to stick out like sore thumbs in a crowded market or bar. An Azer wouldn't be too bad, the lycanthrope idea has promise, and the ogre sounds fine, if a little mundane. Pitch me a few concepts.

I had glossed over the "low visibility" part of that, thanks for pointing it out. I've never tried out recharge magic but just read up on it and it sounds neat so one concept to pitch is to go for a straight bardic sage variant which should also make for a decent sixth wheel to a party. A lore focused adventurer with more curiosity and less arrogance than an elven wizard might.

I've also never tried out a gnome before. Would one of the UA elemental race variants work for a FR genasi style gnome? I have the FRCS and could build a personality/background off both their gnome and genasi type info.

hu... and here i though that low visibility ment bring a torch

 

[Voadam]

Let me know if the bardic sage concept would tread on the toes of the knowledgeable elven wizard PC, if so I'm flexible and can come up with something different.

 

[Sorrow The Man Bear]

Bardic sage would be fine. Sounds like something the Bard and Erasnyl would have to work out. AS for the gnome genasai thing, do you mean an actual genasai, the Environmental races, or the Races of... section? All would be fine, but an aquatic gnome might have a little trouble.

 

[Voadam]

I was thinking of using the UA earth race variant with a Segojian Earthcaller type background but looking at it more closesly the gem eyes and stone skin appearance, though cool, does not fit low visibility so I think I'll go with a straight gnome and make him from Greyhawk's Kron Hills so he will be a default type gnome without special racial mechanics.

Does recharge magic work with the gnome's innate cantrips (dancing lights, prestidigitation, ghost sound)?

Thoughts on spells, I'd like to check some of my other sources (Spells and Magic, Relics and Rituals I & II, Spells and Spellcraft, Magic of Faerun, Tome and Blood, PH II, Complete Book of Eldritch Might) for nifty new bard spells I'd like to ask you about but here are some core srd spells I'm pretty sure on.

13K gp, half total on one item.

Does that mean no more than 1/2 on any item or at least 1/2 on one big item?
