The Lamentation of Lolth - OoC I (Epic CotSQ Campaign)

Brother Shatterstone, you're right of course, that was a long time ago (it seems, anyway), I've completely forgotten how to run a monster class...
Majin cleared it up for me.
I'm going to go back to the wall now :cool:

Hmm if that is the way that other monster races with multiple levels of humanoid work as well then your right. I myself havent had a whole lot of experience with them, I just figured "2 humanoid levels, 2 skill increases, just another thing that justifies the higher ECL".

Just try to remember, all the PCs with ECL +'s, you have a longer wait to level up for a reason. It's not a disadvantage but a balancing agent. You get lots of extra things to counter-balance all that extra xp you have to earn to level up. ;)

Anyone else have more experience with that sorta thing that could clarify?

Races usually have core skills that they pick from that are multiplied those taking their 1st level class (x4) away. If you look at the 3.5 monster manual at the section called "creature name" as characters you will see their skill choices and their multiplies. Examples included, bugbears, lizardfolk. :)

The way we are doing it is probably wrong but it does work, or I can use the book Savage Species as a way to figure out what they should be... But if we do that my starting selection of skills need to be added to, as I will quickly max allot of skills at second level.

Savage Species
Humanoids gain skills at: (2 + INT) x (HD+3)
So I would gain (2+2) x (2+3) = 20 Skill points

Ayden Wyvernspur’s childhood was everything that a spoiled noble could ask for. He was taught by the finest of tutors, allowed to pursue his interests at his leisure, and most importantly, he was only tasked with keeping the dignity of his family’s name. However, after the Time of Troubles, that task became a larger challenge than one would expect as with his distant uncle’s sudden elevation to the status of a god, Finder Wyvernspur’s shadow stretched long over the city of Immersea, and his kin as well.

Ayden began to hear Finder’s call when he was in his early teens, but was hesitant to make the long journey to the Lost Vale to receive his training. Finally running out of excuses on the eve of his twentieth summer, Ayden loaded a pack for travel and took his first steps in answering the call in his heart.

Once there, Ayden would spend five years with the saurials learning the ways of a priest, while strengthening his already natural skill with music. When his time to leave arrived, Ayden left with little more than he arrived with, but had a new outlook on life. He had cast aside the shackles he feared his name had created for him and now sought out those whose fear kept them from unlocking their true potential.

Current XP: 0

Ayden can best be described as an open book. He speaks his mind freely and while he tries not to offend anyone in the process, you can’t please everyone all of the time. Luckily, his smile and easy laugh tends to make him friends much faster than enemies.

As a novice priest, Ayden still has his doubts if this was the road he was meant to walk. His prayers for help have always been granted, but he is still afraid that if he is found lacking, it will be at a time when his help is needed the most.

When traveling on the road, Ayden dresses in a stylish, but functional set of traveling clothes. His holy symbol is always around his neck, and when he draws his violin to play in the mornings, he can feel his god around him then as well. He has a finely crafted chain mesh shirt that he carries packed away, should the need for extra protection arise, but feels that it fits much better in his pack than across his shoulders.

O'mighty GM, my 'thangs' class will be a fighter, though I need to ask if his race can be either a chitne (stats are in the underdark book & at the WotC's site) or a half ogre---if neither of those are acceptable, I'll come up w/another choice;).....as far as concept goes, if there is a player willing, I was gonna have him be a 'bodyguard' of someone:p
 


If you choose to be Shatterstone's bodyguard I think it would be best to talk it over with him as well as to what would be best. I'm not sure if either of those would work relationship-wise for a saurial. Half-Ogre might, but the "normal" characters are startin' to get out numbered here. :p
 

Well, a lack of diversity won't be lacking from this group. As one of the few humans here, I'm starting to think maybe I picked the wrong day to be just a normal guy..*L*

Also, if Shatterstone wants the offer to tie the char together is still there, same if Narleth wants to work something out.

For Narleth/Shatterstone pairing, it could work if the half-ogre was raised among the saurials, and out of a sense of honor, he chooses to accompany one of his "hatch" mates.

Ok Verbatim did a quick check of your character, some section of your sheet to mark with Total weight carried at the present time and Light/Medium/Heavy loads would be helpful, and you might wanna double check your AC & Flatfooted AC again. ;)
