The Intelligence Service (Recruiting)

[J. Alexander]

Start

We should start this thrusday or Friday when everyone has a chance to get their characters done and chat with the dm...if they want to...

Feel free to contiune the interaction in the thread...it is helping me a great deal in getting a feel for the party....

For those not familar with my style..i rely heavily on players to give me inspiration and they do this with their interaction with other pc's and npc's..and so far i have been impressed...

As to the party splitting up....not if i can help it.....we may spinter briefly while someone checks something out etc but it my intention to never split the party and have multiple things going on if i canhelp it at all..the party is designed to function as a whole and if you guys split up if could hamper your overall ability to accomplish the mission...

Yes, JA has a long history (in his FtF games anyway) of giving out individualized artifact level items that the characters grow into (or that grow with the characters, more accurately).

Todd: Eventually inheriting Nico/Kat's armor would be most cool - I've not yet managed to play a character long enough to find out everything it does . . .

I was thinking of going a different way with weapons for this one - spiked chain as his primary. He's already got a lot in common with the original Nico (I'm even thinking of naming him Nicodaemus Brightlaw III); I know you're a traditional sword kind of guy, but I needed some concrete differences to individualize him in my head. Surely you can come up with some nifty properties for a 5' length of chain with spikes and a weighted head . . .

Come on, any takers? It's a great set up!

Better keep it close your going to really need it soon

A spiked chain hmmmm could be interesting....and it is outside the box for sure......just so i am clear are you talking a lenght of chain with a blade/spike at the end or a more flail type item ie a shaft lenght of chain then a blad.spike

By the way i picked up some steaks from my source for this weekend.you guys are going to love them 1 1/2 inch thick t-bone they run about 24 ounces each with the bone and beautiful marbling

Mmmm...I love a good T-bone, but I've still got to find a decent priced flight. I can't believe how expensive it is to fly into Memphis.

hey rhun
i will be headed out friday sometime why dont you try to fly into Tulsa...on southwest may be a little longer flight and layover time but it is way cheaper than Memphis.....

Sounds excellent! I'm really looking forward to it!

The spiked chain is an exotic weapon straight out of the PH. It does actually have spikes along a part of the chain length, and a weighted head as well. It's a two handed weapon, can be used with Weapon Finesse (though Nico doesn't do so at this point), is a reach weapon that can also be used on adjacent opponents, and can also be used to disarm and trip. One of the few exotic weapons that's actually worth taking a feat to be able to use.

Here's a picture:

HMMM i think i saw one one time in a very bad kung few movie with even worse dubbing ...

I actually like it.....and have several ideas already.......

Sad thing is after we finish eating lol we will all proably fall asleep within the hour... were getting old ya know

And in for the record Mowgli and I have know each other since we both chased cheerleaders...but no worries i am cruel to him as well as everyone else if not more so only as i know he will forgive me my diabiolic plots and character torments

Did you ever tell us how to do Hit Points?

Also, what would be the price for a crossbow bolt with a collapsible grappling hook head and a ring on the end for rope? Basically a collabsible grappling hook that could be fired from a light crossbow.
