The Doomed Bastards Character Thread

Lazybones · Aug 30, 2006

This thread is for stats and discussion of the major characters of my story hour, "The Doomed Bastards in the Dungeon of Graves." A band of very unlucky souls is sentenced for their crimes to loot Rappan Athuk. How many--if any--will survive?

I started the characters out at 5th level with 28 point builds (with the exception of Velan Tiros, who I started at 6th, with considerable age effects on his base scores). Item selection was very limited. The gear issued by the Duke's men was quite subpar; on a confirmed fumble, weapons will most likely break. Armor and shields suffer a -2 penalty to item saving throws.

Zafir Navev, Human Male Warlock 5
Str 10, Dex 16, Con 14, Int 10, Wis 8, Cha 16
Fort +3, Ref +4, Will +3

Equipment: breastplate, longsword, pack

Note: at the start of the story, all of Velan Tiros's stats are at -4 due to the effects of torture and malnutrition (Atk +2 melee, AC 13, hp 18). However, the potion that he consumes in Chapter 3 is a potion of restoration (i.e. created by a Master Alchemist PrC NPC).

Crystal Death (also known as: White Pain, The Shakes, Slow Doom, Plot Device)

A white tasteless powder, Crystal Death is rare and expensive (2,000gp for a full course of doses). It must be applied over a series of consecutive days until a lethal dose has built up in the victim's body (the number of days required is equal to 1d4+victim's CON bonus). If the full dose is applied at once, the victim must make a Fort save vs. DC17 or become sickened for 1d3 days, but otherwise the body purges the toxin without further effect.

As soon as a lethal dose has been accumulated, the victim must start making Fortitude saves on each subsequent day. The DC begins at 13 and increases by one on each consecutive day. Each failed save results in one point of temporary CON damage. This damage can be healed by spells, but not by normal rest as long as the poison is in the victim's system.

Once the DC reaches 20, the damage becomes two points of CON for each failed save. As the CON damage accumulates, the victim begins to show symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and uncontrollable shaking. Anyone who is reduced to 50% or less of their original CON score suffers a -2 penalty to all attacks and skill checks due to this shaking.

The poison can be purged from the body by a neutralize poison or heal spell. There is an antidote (500gp per dose), which neutralizes the poison but which does not negate existing CON damage. Once the poison is neutralized, however, the ability damage can be healed naturally.

Here's how I am handling the elf: you'll notice that his stats have changed, to reflect his experience in captivity and his restoration of sanity. I reduced his strength and dexterity and increased his intelligence and wisdom. He was initially an archmage, and with each level up, I intend to trade one level of rogue for another level of abjurer until he is again eligible for that prestige class (in essence, slowly returning to what he was before he became insane). What happened to him, and how he ended up with the Doomed Bastards at Rappan Athuk, will be revealed in the course of the story.
