The Theocracy (recruitment closed to those posted)

No, Shazool is a man. He is quite vehement on this subject. He's not a DMPC, just a source of info who appears in dreams. Think Deep Throat from the X-Files.

That's comforting at least. Especially since a mind flayer looks to have such a phallic overtone to it. Although, without having met one before (who knows how sheltered the ONE keeps us all), it might be very disconcerting having one in my dreams.

Edit: How soon are you looking to get this campaign rolling?

 

[Jemal]

Actually, Mindflayers are Asexual, neither male nor female.

Ilshana, Mk2. Nearly done.

In response to the "what are you going to do against undead" question, I loaded her up with an Undead Bane crossbow. She doesn't mind killing undead. She can't make them friends.

[Jemal]

You know what happens to an Undead that gets struck by Eldritch blast?

[sblock=answer]
The same thing that happens to everything else.[/sblock]

Hey, don't diss... I liked the quote!

 

[ethandrew]

So I still have a feat that I haven't designated yet, I'm thinking of maybe taking leadership as well and that way directly address our potential undead issue. I could easily adjust the background to accomodate this, such as making it Latham's little brother or something similar. Would anyone have any objection of this, the possible over population of characters, or is this okay?

Also, apparently I can't take Quicken SLA till my next feat. Required CL=10, and After lvl 9 I don't get a feat till 12.
I've gotta drop one least and one lesser invocations.. Any help? (The ones marked with an asterisk (*) are the ones I MUST keep.

*BTW, Shayuri, what's "Veil of Allure" do?

 

[WarlockLord]

Actually, I suppose I could throw in an NPC wizard to assist against undead...

And in this campaign, mindflayers have gender. They gotta make tadpoles somehow!

 

[Jemal]

Hmm... MR DM - Could I drop the "Springing" part of the boots of Striding&Springing?
Lets see, A +5 to jump costs 2,500, meaning the other half cost 3,000.. Using the stackign rules (150%), that means it probably cost 2,000 GP for the +10 speed part of the boots.. But I'd be willing to pay whatever you think's fair. I'm just not seeing any beneficial part of the Springing. Janelle flies, she doesn't jump.


Also, I have an Invocation to run by you...
There's several invocations that alter the E.Blast to deal elemental damage, and each has an additional 'save vs extra effect'. Would you be willing to allow an invocation that just allows me to make my blast elemental, with no extra effect(But one invoke would allow multiple elements)? (So I can fly around shooting lightning bolts and jets of flame?)

 

[WarlockLord]

Go ahead, Jemal. I've never understood why "springing" hs to be included in these things anyway. As for the invocation, I'll allow it, but I can't see why you'd want it (just say your blast looks like a lightning bolt) or buy some wands.

I've gotta drop one least and one lesser invocations.. Any help? (The ones marked with an asterisk (*) are the ones I MUST keep.

I think, with a real cursory glance, I'd drop out of the Leasts probably Baleful Utterance, maybe from the Lessers Charm... I think we've got that covered
