Scales of War #1 Rescue at Rivenroar (Full)

[tiornys]

Freggo definitely gets the starting temp HP. I'd been giving them to Velani because she was so much lower on surges--and that's no longer the case

I'll update Ah-shahran; Kali was attached to my previous post in this thread. Do you want me to post him in the Rogue's Gallery, or should we wait until hairychin can vet my choices and post for himself?

Also, how much do you care about having a record of our characters at each level? I'm planning to edit my initial post in the RG with Ah-shahran at L2; I'll keep the L1 version (in a sblock) for now, but I suspect I will be running into post length limitations if I keep doing that.

Oh, and I'm all for throwing up a barricade to the second level and guarding it while we rest.

My original character sheet has been updated in the Rogue's Gallery thread (first post). I don't see a point in posting several different versions, so I just keep that one post up-to-date.

Temp HP- Freggo, got it.

Play the Hairychin by ear- message him with your update and then see what he says, which may be in a while. No need to update anything here.

I have all your characters built and saved in my CB (even you Kyalia), also see those tokens in Maptools, they're you guys- with all your attacks macroed, your surges, temp HP, and everything. They replicate all your skill checks and saving throws and everything else really. I need to keep these up to date so I can see what you are doing. I've done 3 out of the 6 of you, I'll finish the others off this evening and then post IC and move the game along.

Thanee/Kyalia- thanks, just needed to know where it was... no problems.

Cheers PDR

Makes sense.

If that helps, I can also give you the list of changes I made... probably easier than to look for those yourself...

- typical level 2 update (+1 to attacks/defenses/initiative/skills; +5 hp)
- new Utility Power (Begin the Hunt)
- new Feat (Distant Advantage)
- Ranger Fighting Style change (from Archer Fighting Style to Hunter Fighting Style)
- resulting Feat change (from Defensive Mobility to Quick Draw)
- At-Will change (from Nimble Strike to Fading Strike)
- Daily Attack change (from Hunt's End to Skirmishing Stance)
- Feat change (from Weapon Expertise to Bow Expertise)
- added Theme (Dune Trader ("reflavored"))
- new Encounter Power (Quick Formation)

Bye

Here's all the chars (except Kali) uploaded to iplay4e if anyone cares. [MENTION=478]Thanee[/MENTION] I hope you don't mind but I made a dnd4e file for Kyalia with your info. If it's a problem, I'll take it down. Likewise if anyone else has a problem with their char being up, let me know and I'll take it down.

I stumbled upon this article about Neverwinter Themes (from the D&D Gameday Adventure).

The "free" theme power from the Dead Rat Deserter is actually kinda neat.

Would you allow this to be used (just with a little change from "rat" to "cat" and - of course - completely different flavor once again )?

I actually planned on taking the Initiate of the Old Faith feat, eventually, for the Wildshape ability (because it's nice, even though it is pretty useless just like that). This one here actually has some features that make it useful (gain climb speed and +4 to Stealth; both of which are also quite fitting for a catform).

You guys are just fantastic...

And back in-game, Sertanian is out of the cells and asking questions, as is the DM- go and take a look, we're back in-play folks.

Thanks for all the great work...

I followed the link- there's a power card with the Rat power on it- is there any more to the Theme than that, if so where's the info? Sorry, I can't see it- or is that it... It's not in the CB.

I of course want to say yes, but is there more to it?

I've ordered the Neverwinter book, it should be with me next week.

Get back to me asap- and include details of changes to Kyalia and new powers please, thanks.

The full theme is in the Neverwinter book. In summary, you get the Body of the Rat power at L1, a +2 power bonus to Bluff and Stealth at L5, and Hybrid Bite (which lets you shift to a hybrid rat-humanoid and gain a mostly useless bite) at L10. Like other themes, it also has utility powers that could be taken at 2, 6, and 10. It has a racial prerequisite of Human, Half-Elf, or Halfling, although I see no mechanical reason for the restrictions (unlike, say, Iliyanbruen Guardian, which requires Eladrin because it assumes you have Fey Step).

In other news, I will be out of town from now until late tomorrow. I'll try to squeeze in a post before my ride arrives, but then will be 30-36 hours with uncertain internet access.

That's a preview from the D&D Gameday.

Is it out already? Cool! Gonna have to order one for myself, too.


Those themes from Neverwinter look a bit different to the ones I have seen before (from Dark Sun). The ones from Dark Sun all have an Encounter Attack Power at 1st level and then a number of "swap powers" at later levels (up to 10), as well as some extra choices for Paragon Pathes.

These give very different stuff (one, the Harper Agent, even has a magic item for the 1st level "goodie").
