To Tame The Stonelands (PBP Discussion)

I guess magic weapons are out of the question?

How come? At 8th level you should have enough money. Though I'm not with my books so I can't check the table now but surely at 8th level you should have more than 8000 gp.

 

[Angel Tarragon]

Well, it does limit me to a +1 weapon bonus. But no worries.

The way I've got my funds tied up at the moment I can't afford anything over a +1 weapon bonus.

Its all good. Sounding off for tonight.

I put up an RG/notes thread. Place your character there http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=218924

Oh. Your cohort will be a major NPC who is utterly loyal to you. S/He will be the one who takes care of day to day activities of your keep's construction site and later the keep. I will generate hir but you can decide the general sort of character you would like to get. This choice will also affect somewhat your other followers and the defences of the keep as they take some liberties to organize them in a way natural to them.

-A military officer (purple dragon knight at rank, not the PRC though)
-An arcane spellcaster (Possibly one of Cormyrs famed war-wizards)
-A skill-guy (courtier/diplomat/troop morale booster)

Hey, BR. Just want to let you know that I've posted up 2/3 of the Baroness.

Actually, I'd love to combine these ideas.

I'm thinking Warmage that eventualyy takes levels in Eldritch Warrior (Complete Book of Eldritch Might).

Oh, a baroness. Now what's sweet little girl like her doing in a place like Cormyr? Actually, I'd love to see some background info. Few things to keep in mind:
-She should have spent some time in the royal court of Cormyr to have made some contacts with the nobility.
-Why has she taken up the challenge to pacify the Stonelands?
-How has someone so young grown so mighty?
-Is she of noble heritage?
-How did she come to worship the Red Knight?

Actually, I'd love to combine these ideas.

About the cohort. If you wish it to be an arcane caster I was already planning a warmage. In that case s/he would be a War Wizard of Cormyr. Technically they are too military leaders, but what I meant in the earlier post with military leader was rather "Knight in shiny armor", "Head of the Charge", "Sword & Board" if you get what I mean. Probably was thinking full fighter.

A warmage is also a military leader but more like a mastermind/tactician who leads from the battlements.

So shall I go with that?


And last. I noticed you hadn't yet listed your feats. Are you still going with extra followers?

I'm gonna finish up the rest of the character sheet tonight. I'll plunder my books for ideas about Launa.

The Duskblade is another good choice now that I think about it. Looking over my books, I'd prefer it. The duskblade gets faster armored mage progression, higher bab and good fort and will saves in exchange for 6, 7, 8 & 9th level spells. So, she might not get full spellcasting power, but s/he will be a damn good bruiser.

Definetely. The more followers I have, the more quickly things can get done in the Launa's absence. My other 3 feats: Exalted Turning, Extra Turning, Whirling Steel Strike.

Also, I'm looking for variant class features for the Cleric. I'd like to find a feature the lets me trade off armor/shield proficiency. Right now I'm eyeing West Wind Traning (WotBS Players Guide, pg. 17)

Actually I rolled randomly three choices for his classes of those three generic groupings. So we now have a fighter, a warmage or a bard. And since I prefer to use NPC's only of the classes I can work with what I have on e-tools, PHII stuff is out of the question. So for what I gathered you like, I think the warmage is best choice.

Well I determined your Leadership score to 14. With extra followers that means 30 1st level NPC-Class followers and some 2nd level. Then there will be the hired building folk, mercenaries and some folk sent to assist you by the Court. So all in all, you're going to have quite a crowd following you to Stonelands.

I'll see if I can download that pdf, but in the meantime, could you just tell me what the changes are in that particular variant?
