Under strange stars [OOC]

Will change the holy symbol, I assume these would be included in the spell component pouch? Finally, the most important question, I assume this means I'm in?

As I said, you can change the holy symbol or not, as you prefer. Mistletoe and holly are the druid´s divine focus, though they are free they´re not exactly a spell component. Sure, you´re in.

Zerth, Amira looks ok at first glance, I´ll review her later. About the leadership thing, don´t you believe that improved familiar would be a better choice? The regular leadership feat would allow you to have followers, and that doesn´t seem to fit your character concept; be bonded with an air spirit does.

Since we already have 4 players and 4 great characters, we can start. I´ll accept another character, until tomorrow 4:00 pm, board time.

I agree, but there's a problem as Amira has only four levels of Sorceress and therefore getting a improved familiar is not worth spending a feat. I was thinking of not taking a familiar at all.

We disagree in that point, but it´s up to you. About having an air elemental as cohort, I´ve decided to try the large elemental that comes in Savage Species. A large elemental has a ECL of 14, but the progression allows for a 8th level one. If you don´t own Savage Species, a elemental of that level has:
Medium size
5d8 monster HD
+2 Str, +10 Dex, +6 Con, -4 Int
Base saves Fort +1, Ref +4, Will +1
2 feats plus Flyby attack, improved initiative and weapon finesse.
8x(2+int) skill points
+3 BAB, Slam damage 1d6+1,5 str
Elemental traits, air subtype, +3 natural armor, air mastery and whirlwind; no DR.

Since I don´t see an air elemental carrying equipment, we´ll forget about that. If you agree, I´ll have it ready when the game starts.

I´ve reviewed your character. It´s OK, but since it´s a human (and not a half-elf) you can choose an extra 1st level feat.


Rangerjohn, if you don´t have ideas about your cohort, we could leave thing as they are, and later choose an NPC you like to have him as your cohort.

After going through the MM, I found another possibility. An air mephit as a cohort (+3 LA) would also fit very well. So what about a little 5 HD bugger, who'd make a good scout or simply an annoying sidekick.

Edit: Oh, the feat. Added Greater Spell Penetration. I do have Savage Species and the the air elemental as cohort like you suggested looks good. It certainly would not carry any equipment. The air mephit is just another possibility, you can choose either one you like better and I'll be happy.

 

[Someone]

An air mephit is perfect, fits much more nicely than the elemental thing.

The first post will be up today, so stay tuned! I´ll post a link from this thread.

Great! Eat your heart out, Sinbad!

Hope it's ok for Ormazd to refer to himself in the third person. I figure someone like him should have a kink or two.
