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

[stonegod]

All, I'd like to welcome our two newest, one w/ and old, one w/ a new.
- s@squ@tch Marot the Deadly
- ethandrew Ladreth Dorkunan
GL set the bar pretty high on Khensu. Replacing him is going to be hard if it comes to that. DEFCON does a great job, but I don't want the rest of you all thinking I'm unbalacing things or showing favoritism. If you have an opinion one way or the other w/ DEFCON playing our hairy shifter, let me know either here or email.

As for our new folks:
- ethandrew Pretty much follow the guidance given in the RG. For ease of mind, note that you start with 17k--near halfway between 6th and 7th (and behind Tessa). Note, I've misspelled Ladreth's name several times, but this Google search should get you all the posts he was ever mentioned in.

- s@squ@atch Persistence pays off. Please let me know the changes you'll be making with Marot. For simplicity, assume 21k XP, just enough for 7th level. You can change the equipment a little, but swing it by w/ me first.

I'll get the two new characters in as soon as they are in the RG. Meanwhile, game on!

Again, thank you. I should hope to have this done hopefully by tomorrow night, at worst the end of the weekend, at which time I hope to be caught up on the IC. I really like what I have seen so far, the bar being set immeasurably high.

 

[s@squ@tch]

Thanks! I look forward to avoid being killed with the rest of the group!

I should have the character sheet updates and finalized within the next day or so.

I suppose that, in case it hasn't been seen, I should probably chime and point out that I posted a "spells memorized for the next boojums" version of Janis a while back and didn't say anything.

I tend to keep an eye on the list, so no big deal. THanks for the note, though.

Now, is someone going to talk to Urik?

 

[James Heard]

I've been waiting for someone else to start actually.

@Stonegod: What is your take on Point Blank Shot and Precise Shot with respect to a Warlock's Eldritch Blast?

 

[stonegod]

mateusz is also around, of course. In any cause, thing will move forward Monday.

Same as w/ any ray (which they are): They apply.

 

[s@squ@tch]

OK, so I swapped out Persuasive and Obtain Familiar for PBS and Precise Shot, Changed Anuine to a regular animal (with tricks), added Handle Animal Skill, adjusted his other skills down 4 ranks total to bring Handle Animal to +6. Dropped his wisdom from 12 to 10, and upped Con from 12 to 14, made the corrections in his Will and Fort saves.

I changed his Heavy Mace from +1 to MW, his MW Daggers to non-MW Silver, and added Gloves of Eldritch Admixture (MIC pg.105). Swapped out Hideous Blow and Devil's Sight for See the Unseen and Flee the Scene. Dropped one CLW potion (from 5 to 4) and used the spare gold he had (and some extra from the dagger conversion) to pick up one CMW potion.

I will swing by and pick up Complete Mage to see if he should go War6/ESpirit1 or War5/ESpirit2.

I see Marot as more of a ranged blasted thar a wade into melee and knock heads in.

Thoughts?
