stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. I [OOC]

[stonegod]

Stormwind: I'll take a look later today. However, one request---please take Ashlyn's sheet out of sblock and place that @ the top (before the img); I want it to be the first thing I see.

Ashlyn did have ranged weapons (x-bow with some special bolts I can tell you about later today); she just never got to use them. So feel free to adapt.

It will probably be later today/this evening before I get Bergeron up.

I was going to do it last night, but I had nasal/sinus surgery about a week and a half ago, and the drainage from it was making me ill, and I just went to bed.

If I could, are there any skills/feats/items/etc. that could be recommended? I have already had heart of heart recommended.

And I will use this color (dark slate blue) for speech.

Ashlyn's sheet changed as requested.

The crossbow +bolts sounds intriguing and somehow a crossbow seems to fit the character better. I look forward to further details ...
I will edit equipment (replacing the bow with a x-bow).

I'll get you some suggestions after work from me (me books not be 'ere, me 'earty).

As for your color, as I use the black bg by default, there isn't a lot of luminance constrast w/ the dark blue. A lighter one (deep sky blue?, thought that is a bit close to cyan) would work.

Their alchemical anti-undead bolts. But, as I said, details are at home.

@GwydapLlew: I noticed that Luminous stat block was a little different from Ashlyn's mount. I was just wondering if I'd made some mistake with Valo.

If I understood the monster advancement rules correctly, Luminous should have +2 skill points and another feat from the additional 2HD. Also he has a discrepancy in his attacks: 'Atk +8 (1d8+4, hoof); Full Atk +8/+8 melee (1d6+4, 2 hooves) '. Also I only get +3 (+2 base, +1 wis) for his will saves. Finally, due to his increased strength, Luminous should have an increased carrying capacity.

Hrm. I pretty much copied the mount statistics from the PHB. I'll double-check my math; as good as I am at TT character sheets, my online sheets are annoyingly bug-filled. :\

@Kralin: As a halfling you will only have 3 feats and since I presume that the first 2 (1st and 3rd level) will already be used for Favoured in house and Least dragonmark, then that only leaves one feat (6th level). Song of the Heart(ECS) is a good choice as it enhances your bardic music, however Augment Healing(Complete Divine) may also be worth considering if you are focusing on healing. Practiced Spellcaster(Complete Divine) could also be useful as the increase to CL would also allow your (healing) spells to be more effacious.

As far as spells go, I can recommend Iron Silence(Complete Adventurer) as being remarkably effective as a utility spell when travelling with heavily armored fighters. Of course it depends heavily on the group and may be more useful as a scroll rather than as a spell known.

Regarding items, if you intend to cast spells anywhere around combat, then the tunic of steady spellcasting(Complete Adventurer) is worth it's weight in gold. A lesser choker of eloquence(Complete Adventurer) may also be worth considering for the bonus to perform(sing).

Well, there's a few ideas ... hopefully they're useful.

I woudn't go for "Favored in House," as it will get you pretty much nothing mechanically and is not really needed for RP either (Bergeron may be a agent, but a minor one).

I think favoured in house is a requirement for the Dragonmarked heir prestige class.

I'd have to double check. Don't have my ECS in front of me.
