Rhiannon PNP OOC & Discussion

Hmmm.

Mystic - fighter

would that be allowed? I do not get this
- A class may exist on only one side of the equation.
example:
1: Wizard/Rogue
2. Wizard/Fighter
3. Monk/Fighter
4. Monk/Wizard
would not be allowed
- no more than three classes can be used (so the above example no-go also)
- A prestige class replaces both sides of the equation.

Would mystic be prestige, and cover both sides?

mystic, in DMG, is the slowest advancing class.
a mystic/fighter would have quicker HP advancement, better attacks, etc... while allowing the mystic side to live long enough to travel.

Mystic / Fighter would certainly be allowed, though if you picked a pacifistic deity (are there any in D&D?) it would not.

the Mystic we will use isn't in the DMG, its essentially a spontaneous divine caster, similiar to the sorcerer.

I haven't done a good job of splaining the one class per side thing so I'll try again.

I think of each half of a gestalt level as a side of the equation, maybe a scale is a better word, so at first level, Seraf Sedgemarra is a Cleric/Bard or Cleric on one side of the scale and bard on the other.

Lets say he takes Cleric/Wizard at Second level. All OK
Lets say he takes Monk/Wizard at Third (so overall hes Cleric 2/Wizard 2/Bard 1/Monk 1 - still good)
At fourth level he chooses Cleric/Monk. ( this would be not allowed since now Monk exists on both sides of his class scale.If he flips it then wizard exist on both sides) This is probably not a really big deal, but it offends my sense of order/makes stuff hard to calculate.

Everytime I think about Gorion's stats I get a headache since he violates this "rule"

I'm thinking about dropping the other limitations, at the moment though.

I have also considered - using Prestige classes for the Paladin and Ranger ( and Bard?) I am leaning against this, since they are only 3 of like 100 core classes currently available with all the extra books.
 

I could see a mystic/fighter have a background such as:

was a sailor and saw a vision while drowning- found himself alive and specially blessed.
was a noble and snuck into a temple on a dare and confronted real divinity.
was a new but zealous mercenary and had a "damascus road" experience.
a poor boy trying to scrape by before discovering his great-Grandfather was a celestial being.

I see the mystic as being untrained but charismatic, pious but unstructured.

Perhaps this character is Exalted?
 

For Paeter -


You can play anything you want (pretty much) but you must be able to fit in with the party.

How about a Paladin?
 

I'm thinking the Mystic probably has access to one Domain at first level and maybe adds another at 4th, 8th and 12th. They would need to be reasonably correlated with the deity you select.

I'm thinking of allowing some sort of familiar at some level 2nd or 3rd maybe. (A celestial rat?)

I'm also thinking of allowing the Mystic to select spells known from the cleric/druid/paladin spell lists. - any of the three.

Oh yeah!
How about this
Adam was a noble and snuck into a temple on a dare and confronted real divinity.
He was given three tasks to do. X Y and Z

He did X and Y. Did not want to do Z.
Running away on a ship. In a terrible storm, it sank. He saw a vision while drowning. Large fish swollowed him, spit him up on shore. He found himself alive.

Task Z involved killing (mercenary style) some noble, and drinking some of the blood.
once done, the celestial blood mingled with his own and ... realizing "he was my father," was blessed by the deity.

o.k. a bit over the top.
back to work
 



I had this thought of a high-level campaign that might be fun to run sometime:

It combines the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen concept with the situation that our current (Rhiannon) heroes once found themselves in.

The royal chapel is decorated with statues of legendary--even ficticious--heroes. In a time of crisis, the king ( or priest, whatever) asks his god to deliver them. this the god does by animating several of the statues. Each legendary hero has his own background and baggage. They must learn to work together to thwart whatever the threat is. It would be cool if the the threat turned out to be some force everyone believed to be ficticious as well.
 

as long as we can get the (ficticious) submarine, toys, and ability of the hero.
That would be a blast, for a few sessions - year.


Heard you are leaving / left JCI ???
