The Hero of Mergovie OCC--[FULL]

[silentspace]

That's not metagaming, nowhere close! Especially for Oculus, who is a wizard. He must have some idea about the relative power of different spells, no? Besides, I'm posting this in the OOC thread. And its not like everyone doesn't know this, anyway.

 

[DarkMaster]

I am just waiting for Ferrix and how you are planing to go back to Joe's house before I continue

Let's split up the loot. Here's my take on it:

magic heavy steel shield - Sell. Solomon and Oculus are proficient but its not their style.
magic banded mail - Sell. Oculus is proficient but wouldn't use it.
magic dwarven war axe - Solomon. The only one proficient.
magic dagger - Jasper. They could all use this, but I think Jasper should take it.
magic kama - Dai. The only one proficient.
magic pearl - Jasper. Most likely a pearl of power (assuming Oculus' Knowledge ranks would allow him to know of pearls of power). Jasper has a higher caster level. Though it is an item they could share. If its ok with the others, Oculus would try to use it right away to cast another cure light on Solomon.
healing potions - Dai and Solomon, the melee fighters. Oculus would normally provide healing for himself and Jasper. That is, unless he is taken out by halfling rogues! Though maybe Solomon and Oculus should take one each now.
masterwork (?) throwing axe - Sell. Solomon is proficient but he has his bow.
masterwork (?) composite longbow (+? Str) - Sell. Solomon is proficient but he already has one. Unless this one is better (ie same str bonus and masterwork).
masterwork (?) sharp spear - Dai. Oculus and Solomon are also proficient, but Dai could use a ranged weapon besides his sling.
masterwork (?) greataxe - Sell. Solomon is proficient, but the magic dwarven war axe is better (unless its cursed).
3 small masterwork (?) daggers - Sell. We don't have any small characters.
masterwork (?) heavy mace - Oculus. Solomon could also use it, but he's got lots of weapons.

We could also give the magic heavy steel shield, throwing axe, and greataxe to Jraq and/or Trolm.

I am open to any split, even if it means Oculus gets nothing. I think in game time we probably would've split this very quickly, but pbp makes everything longer.

Darkmaster, if we make it to high enough level, could Oculus take levels in Divine Oracle from Complete Divine? You probably guessed both Jasper and Oculus were going after Loremaster PrC, but maybe Oculus would go for something different. Who knows?

 

[DarkMaster]

No problem Silentspace.

 

[silentspace]

Cool. If he does it he'll increase his wizard caster level, and learn the Oracle domain spells as wizard spells (Extra domains p20). The thing is, then you wouldn't be able to keep any secrets from Jasper and Oculus! I was thinking they work well together even when talking with people - Jasper's got the Sense Motive and Oculus has got the Diplomacy. Of course, all the diplomacy will be taken over by our new paladin when he gets here, but it was fun until then. Actually Oculus is all over the map. I have no idea why I had him take Track last level

 

[DarkMaster]

Do you want to change it since you didn't use it.

 

[silentspace]

Really? Thanks! Let me take a look

 

[silentspace]

I switched out Track for Improved Initiative. I also switched 2 cross-class ranks in Survival to 2 cross-class ranks in Appraise, if that's alright.

I thought about Craft Wand for Oculus, but his caster level was too low. Then I noticed Jasper had it. Now that we might have some money, we might even be able to use it! It would be good if we could craft some wands of cure light wounds or lesser vigor. How is exp cost for crafting going to be handled? Since we're using UA options, do we get craft points? I should've asked earlier about the scrolls Oculus scribed, though that was only a few exp.
