To Tame The Stonelands (PBP Discussion)

[Angel Tarragon]

Yeah I do. Are you pondering what I'm pondering?

I think so.

Okay, so lets start with your character. Here's some guidelines:

- let's go with 32 point buy. He will be a hero after all.
- 8th level. That way he will already have some fame in Cormyr. Normal Wealth per level.
- I'd prefer if his alignment was within one step from LG (But if you really really want to go with something else, I'll allow that)
- I'll give you Leadership as a free bonus feat. You need some followers to protect your keep when it is constructed.

Stats: STR 13, DEX 12, CON 11, INT 14, WIS 16, CHA 12

EDIT: Does this include the bonuses from leveling?

got this part done.

Okay, do you want to use the Reputation System from Unearthed Arcana?

I ask because if so, I'm going to seriously consider the Renown feat.

I'm gonna go with Neutral, as I think it is befitting the concept I am shooting for (peace with the world through the tranquility of self).

EDIT: Changing alignment to Chaotic Neutral as Neutral is not an alignment clerics of Shaundakul can have.

Excellent. Love it.

No. You still get the two increases from level-ups .

Probably not. I might occasionally refer to it myself but not so much that you should bother wasting a feat.

First of, if you're still considering the gestalt cleric/monk I would remind that the monks Alignment restriction still needs to be met. But on second note though, I must say that Shaundakul is an interesting choice. I don't think I've ever before seen it used. (Except in the Pool of Radiance: RoMD computer game ) After reading Shaundakul entry in FRCS, Faiths and Pantheons and in 2e Faiths & Avatars, I must say I find there is something fishy about Shaundakul's Alignment. In 2e it was obviously CG, but now they have changed it to CN, and what's worse is that they allow CE clerics but not true Neutral. There must be a mistake, and even if it not I'm going to have to houserule it. I might agree that he is CN, but with obvious good tendencies. So his clerics can be CN, CG & N. But definetly not CE.

Cool. That helps to clarify things. Knowing this, I'm considering Extra Followers.

D'OH! Forgot about that. So, I've been researching my choice and I'm leaning towards Azuth & Red Knight. I'm more looking at Azuth as the quarterstaff makes for a better choice over the longsword. The Magic & Spell domains look tantalizing as well.

The feat is okay .

Regarding the deities: Remember that Red Knight has war domain which can make the longsword more appealling. Topple with this http://realmshelps.dandello.net/cgi-bin/feats.pl?Whirling_Steel_Strike,all and it's quite formidable. Just thought to give you something to think about as I think Red Knight would suit the campaign better. But, I won't restrict you in this matter so you are free to choose as you will.

 

[Blackrat]

So. What's up Rev?

 

[Angel Tarragon]

Gimme 2-3 days. Will have character up by then. I'm still mulling over choices.

Right now I'm mulling over a gestalt Monk/Warlock instead of Cleric/Monk. The Cleric/Monk has merit and is a good choice considering stats. I'm most likely to stick with it.

Going over MIC for some items, hope thats okay.

 

[Blackrat]

No hurries. Just wondered if you're still with me. I've not really used MIC before, but I can get my hands on it easy enough. If there's something you fancy do get it. But I would say to not get any single item that cost more than 1/4 of your total wealth.
