The Seven Realms Await! (full)

[Orvallon]

Okay, here's the character. If there are errors, I blame it on lack of sleep, just tell me and I'll fix them.


Leadership Variant: I was wondering if I could use a variant on the Leadership feat that gives you no cohort, but a +3 leadership score to get followers (I had in mind him leading a band of horsemen). If you allow this variant, he’d have 10 warrior 1 followers with Mounted Combat and Ride-By attack carrying spears, and would expand that as time went on.

I had in mind a sort of Nordic horseman of the plains, so where would I be. I didn’t have the arabesque nomad in mind, but closer to land Vikings.

I think you shorted yourself a hit point or two.

If you take leadership, I'd rather it be the version from the book, cohort and all. Though maybe you could work it so you had an uberhorse, rather then a person.

In any case, the Seven Realms doesn't have a direct Rohan equivalent, the Nordheimers are more focussed on sea then horseback.

However, their are inland clans in Nordheim that might have mounted spearmen, as well as areas in Kythraen bordering al-Kar that might have such warriors.

Character Questions?

I've been going over some ideas today for my character, but I've got a few questions.

Is either Sun Elf or Strongheart Halfling an acceptable race?

Do we start off exactly at exactly sixth level or do I have xp to play around with for crafting?

Will there be time in the campaign for crafting items, or should I skip creation feats?

Should I plan this character for the long term or do you plan on having the campaign cover just a few levels?

I'll probably have more questions, but this should cover it for now.

I hope to have my character up by Wednesday night, but that will depend on if I have access to a computer when I'm in San Diego. Regardless I will post my character as soon as possible.

How useful will the Book of Exlated Deeds be? Is there anything in it that will benefit a monk character? I ask because you mention it as one of the two other books we can use info from, and I haven't read it yet.

You said that half-celestial is a choice. I'd like to play a half-celestial bard, if that is OK.

Acid Crash:

I have two feats for you:
1: Vow of Poverty
2: Touch of Golden Ice

If you have these, you will be the uber-monk.

For my cohort: What do you think of me using a miniatures handbook class called the marshal (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ex/20030906b). He'd be my follower, and when I get troops he'd massively improve them (think warrior 1s with mounted combat and ride-by attack benefitting from the charge aura).

I think I'll go with the inland Nordheim idea.

Hey, this setting seems familiar!

--No, stick with the Elf or Halfling from the PHB

Do we start off exactly at exactly sixth level or do I have xp to play around with for crafting?

--Exactly sixth level

Will there be time in the campaign for crafting items, or should I skip creation feats?

--In the campaign there should be downtime, enough to craft.

Should I plan this character for the long term or do you plan on having the campaign cover just a few levels?

--I'd like to see it go longterm, but given the pace of PBP games, it may take a while for you to advance more then a few levels

The marshall idea will work, though I'm not sure how often, at least in the early campaign, the mounted troops will be a factor. They might come in handy a bit down the road.

Somewhat, though I've revised a lot of things since the last time I did this, and there's even a whole new version of DnD since then.

That would be perfectly fine, though you'll be a 2nd level bard, which could be problematical. Still, you'll have lovely stats, wings, and some neat abilities.
