Wait until you meet the Skeleton King, friend...

 

[Nephtys]

I'm looking forward to it

(Thanks)

I updated my character in the rogue's gallery, complete with name and background. Peruse at your leisure.

Yeah, sorry I tried for a spot and kinda disappeared. I guess actually I can still make guy number 8.

Question 1: My favorate achivist Dark Knowledge ability is the damage one, which comes at Level 8. Can there be a feat or item that gives +1 level to DK abities, analogous to the monks belt and similar items (I think there is one for wild shape).

Question 2: Whats the deal with spell aquisition? How much are spells? Is there such thing as a Boccob's Bessed Prayer Book? How about the joint scroll thing? Can he buy a divine scroll with a spell on the wizard list (Its divine if the guy with the feat is the cleric, even if the wizard provides the spells) and copy it into his book?

Well... Okaaaay... This is, of course, stretching the rules a bit, but why not. The adventure will possibly be hard enough...

Yes to all. Just pick the spells that you consider balanced and realistical for his level.

- I leave the character tweaks all to you - if, in the end, the adventure is too easy or too hard, it is less fun for you.

Most of the finnishing touches on my char are still on paper. I'll get things transfered to the Rogue's Gallery thread this weekend.

OK, making him now. Though to clarify, does he have to, at creation, essentially buy all the scrolls for spells he knows (which gets super-pricey), or is that assumed to be part of the consumables hes used over his career that it accounted for in starting wealth?

(Sorry for the questions...I'm going to assume that you meant that I should just pick a reaonsable spell set and stick it in a blessed book)

And one more question...does the extra damage ability even work on undead? Dark Knowledge in general definately applies to undead, and no exception is mentioned for any of the abilities, but the flavor text of the "foe" ability refers to vital spots. On the other hand, the ranger favored enemy ability, which is based on special knowledge of certain creatures, does allow extra damage.

Almost done. Anti-Undead and Acid focused alchemist/professor type who hates all things unnatural. She'll be well-optimized for the concept, but in an archivist its an inherantly weak one so she should wind up pretty balanced.
