Traipsing Across Khorvaire - High Adventure in Eberron (OOC) [Closed]

[Starman]

I just got your background in my inbox and I looked at your character, Dhawk. Everything looks good with a cursory glance.

[ShaggySpellsword]

If you still have another alternate slot open (I think I saw that you did) I would love to get in on the game at a later time, if something falls through. You are using lots of house rules I've wanted to try, and playing in my new favorite setting. At the very least, I'll follow along!

 

[Doomhawk]

I'm kind of curious as to how action points will work, since we always see the rolls and the results of our actions at the same time. It looks like Widowmaker was doing it by declaring beforehand, which is good for a task you know you really need to succeed - but sometimes, it seems like one might want an action point to prevent screwing up instead.
May we set up simple conditions for the use of action points? For instance, "I'm in it deep if I fail this Jump check... use an action point if I roll less than 10." Would that be too much hassle for you?

Still one alternate spot open Shaggy, so I will put you down. Thanks for your interest.

That's a perfectly fine way to do it. Not a hassle at all.

Hey Starman,

Finally got the problem fixed. Sorry about the SNAFU. I will get my butt in gear.

Widowmaker

 

[Starman]

Not a problem, Widowmaker. I'm glad you got it sorted out.

Hey Creamsteak, I was looking over your character and I didn't see which Weapon Group feats (UA pg. 94) you took. I think the Favored Soul should get the same as the Cleric, so Basic plus two others. Note, the Silver Flame's favored weapon is the longbow. The longsword is the favored weapon of the Sovereign Host. Not that I have a problem with you using it, just a reminder when it comes time to pick your Weapon Group feats.

Starman

Interesting. I had a player in my Forgotten Forge/Shadows of the Last War game who used a longsword with his Cleric and I just assumed it was the favored weapon (and I think they mention silver blades or something akin to that in the Dragonshards article on the CotSF). Sorry about that, my confusion.

So, do I still retain the proficiency in the deities favored weapon that the class gives? If it does, then I'm probably going to go basic/heavy blades/maces and clubs. If it does not, then it's basic/heavy blades/bows.

 

[Creamsteak]

By the way, Creamsteak, I shamelessly copy-and-pasted your format. I hope you don't mind.

It's just a monster manual stat-block default with a bunch of extra fields. I'm not bothered, I'm a bit proud though.

You know, I thought it was the Silver Flame's favored weapon at first, too. No big deal. You do get proficiency with the longbow as a class ability.

So I've got the barebones to a half-orc monk who uses a longspear.

Starman, in the Eberron book it allows certain monks to take the whirling steel strike feat as their 2nd level bonus feat, could I take the Serpent Strike feat as my 2nd level bonus feat as they do basically the exact same thing.
