The IR Aftermath Campaign Characters

[perivas]

Re: Its all very nice but..........

Now these are some sweet characters, though I'm still mighty suspicious as to why Janos carries a darkskull.

Janos if your character is so intent on changing his ways why does he have a darkskull?

It's become painfully obvious that most of the characters here are intent on being evil (especially those who casually include the Shadow Adept prestige class). I suspect that high level campaigns tend to attract individuals bent on evil to play in them. As evidence, I present that none of the characters are paladins and none of them use a good-aligned race. In addition, note that almost everyone is "neutral", which is usually just an excuse to be not good in any aspect, just as "chaotic" is an excuse to break the laws of a given land for personal gain. But that's just my humble opinion speaking out.

It may be metagaming a little...I was going to play a good character but I would rather not deal with that blasted darkskull.

 

[The Forsaken One]

Since my character is a emotionally deranged filled with grief and hate out for vengeance type of elf, chaotic neutral seemed the best to me since he is being guided by instinct and emotion rather then any personal taste or who he follows and believes in.

I'll post a history this week, I'll try and make it sound good

Shadow adept is metagaming because the PrC just rocks and it's just a alternative place of power and magic to have your skills originate from, I'll weave it into my history how I got there.

I never play evil, just always the neutral psion of the chaotic neutral rogue.

And Perivas you seem to be suggesting that you think that every non LG character is evil and bad and the whole stuff. You even condemn the Chaotic AL.

Neutral you see as a excuse for evil why I see evil as a AL where you are forced by yourself to do harm and hurt while neutral only lets you do those things when it's the best for you, you don't go out and look for trouble or gain but when it crosses your path you most certainly won't get out of the way of it.
And chaotic is just fun but it appears to me that you like playing paladins and that lawful good is the only way to have trustworthy players that arent trying to get out from under everything a AL might enforce on them.

CN is my AL for life just because it's so damn funny and permits you do do fun cool and sometimes selfserving and selffless acts from time to time.
CN just keeps all options open and leaves room for creativity imo.

heh but yeah, a lich red wizard specialised in necromancy carrying a darkskull and tending to not be evil is relaly really really pushing it over the limit, I really aint buyin that anymore but we'll see how it starts off/ends

 

[Darkwolf]

Kal, according to the dmg(page 243), adding extra stuff to an item(like my armor and shield) is only +10% instead of double price. Run it however you want, but I would like a clairification on what you're going to charge us.

It might be just my opinion, but evil is never forced to do anything. Evil does not mean uncontrollable, mindless slaughter. Rather, it means choosing the benefit of the self even at a cost to others. If you've ever taken an alignment quiz for a character of yours, you'll find the selfish responses will land you in the evil section. Sad but true. Anyone that prefers to help the self at the expense of the whole is evil.

Just look at life. Most people would probably be classified as neutral, but you'll also notice that they'll usually help people if it is not a great expense to themselves. In addition, they will only achieve personal gain if it is not a great expense for someone else. Meanwhile, those who obtain at the expense of others is labelled evil.

Nonetheless, after all this discussion we haven't heard a peep from Janos. This really gets under my skin how he's set up his character, i mean he'd better fix it up because his character is putting people off being good when this game was made for mainly good-aligned ppl!

 

[Gurdjieff]

I'm still good ^_^ Chaotic is part of Nature's laws (none actually) and the Good is because it is his call to defend nature and life, as it is precious to him. The usual bla-bla for a good character

But indeed, Janos does tend to play the LN character with evil tendencies

 

[Kalanyr]

For the curios the cost of items are as follows:

(First Power is most expensive,Second is next most expensive and so on)

First Power on Item. Full Price
Second Power (If similar as described in Tome & Blood ie no advantage is gained from it being active at the same time or it cannot be used at the same time as the first and they have the same basic theme) X 0.75
Third and Further Powers (if similar as described above): X0.5

If the powers are not similar, then the prices are X2.

Forsaken no you do not get to knock money off of the bow for a reduction in horrible kill anything but a demigod or more, power. It still costs the original price.

(Janos, you do reailise that useing a Dark Skull is an evil act? At least by my definition, and that it doesn't help you against Rebukeing/Commanding?)

 

[Kalanyr]

Shadow Adept isn't necessarily evil, you can be a neutral spellcaster who stumbled onto it without any help from Shar for the cost of 2 Wisdom.

As someone who likes Chaotic Alignments I'll throw in a Jab at Lawful for your definition of Chaotic .

Lawful alignments are just an excuse to boss around other characters, and straight jacket people who behave other than you would like.

Like your definition of Chaotic its completely inaccurate and horribly generalized based on a few people I've met.
