S@squ@tch's Against the Giants - Team Black OOC - Grinding

S@s, I just got some advice on Forivarra from my trusted advisor,[MENTION=11520]Scotley[/MENTION], and here it is:

Scotley said:
If I might offer a little constructive criticism from the accounting department? I think you magic item costs are a little off. I believe you have to pay for the masterwork version of an item rather than the normal item price when making magic items. So the sword is an extra 300 and the armor and shield should be another 150 each. I'd suggest dropping either the shield or the armor down to +2 saving you 5000 gp. That will cover the extra 600 for masterwork items, allow you to spend 2000 on a ring of protection +1, which means not only no loss in total armor class but a boost of +1 to your touch ac and if you choose to drop the +1 from the shield a +1 to your flatfooted AC as well. I'd spend 600 upgrading the bow to mighty at +3 so you can add your str. bonus to damage and masterwork giving you +1 to hit. You'll still have another 1800 gp to spend on a wand or other useful toy. How's that for creative accounting?



Note that in the book Underdark Dungeonscape, their is an armor add on that allows you to have a wand in a sheath in your shield and count is as readied without having to draw it forth. That would be very useful if you took a wand of true strike or lesser deflect where you wouldn't want to put your sword or shield down in order to cast a spell from the wand. A must have item for a sword and board duskblade I'm thinking.
Will it be any problem to let me make some of those changes? I don't think I will necessarily want to make all of them, but who knows, I just might. And for sure I need to spend more gold for the masterwork items.

Okay. I'm finished with the character except for picking spells. The character is a Halfling Conj1/Rog1/Conj3/Unseen Seer 3 (the build order matters for making stupid skill pre-reqs for Unseen Seer). I'm guessing he's not really affiliated with any house, he's just out in Xendrik looking for adventure and hidden knowledge. I'm not particular, though, so he could have been hired by someone to go to Xendrik to do something instead of freelancing.

S@s: how many spells should I get each level?

Well, my Duskblade, Forivarra d'Deneith, is, obviously of House Deneith, so if you could work that house into the backstory somehow, it would sure be easier to explain why Forivarra goes with you to Xendrik. Just sayin', ya know.....;)

And
S@squatch -- I'll get skills chosen for Forivarra ASAP. That should be the last thing to be done to him before I'm ready to go.
 

[MENTION=48762]Leif[/MENTION]: let me check the MIC, I think there was a shield that allowed a wand to be stored in it. But all of the other things sound good, if not optimized. ;)
 


[MENTION=21087]pneumatik[/MENTION]- 4 spells @ first level, then 2 free spells per level afterwards. Of course, all 0th level spells are free.

Ok, I'll try to remember to do that. Um, but I don't think I have any wands? Oh, well, I'll look into it anyway. AND THANKS!

Rhun: I'm basically ready to go a-hunting!
 

[MENTION=48762]Leif[/MENTION]: that backstory sounds generally good. I played a ton of 3rd ed DnD, but very little Eberron, so I need to become more familiar with the setting details before I come up with a full backstory. For example, I need to figure out what I'm doing in Xendrik. But I've got not problem with us adventuring together and then getting captured together.
Ok, then, sounds like we're almost ready! ;)
 

[MENTION=21087]pneumatik[/MENTION], post your pc in the RG for team black, then I'll look over and get you and Leif into the action ASAP.
