Vampires of Waterdeep Campaign Arc (Recruitment closed)

[Question]

So have you finished the gestalt one or is this in addition to that?

 

[Lord_Raven88]

This sounds really interesting.

I had already played in a campaign based on this once, but that didn't really go over the introduction stage unfortunately.

Not entirely sure, what kind of character I would like to play, but I'm sure I would find something.

I very much like martially oriented spellcasters (i.e. Eldritch Knight based on Sorcerer), but if Tyler Durden wants to play a Duskblade, which might possibly be considering the question about PHB II, and Rhun is already making a wizard, that might lean a bit too much on the arcane side of things, though.

Another idea would be a Pixie Spellthief.

Feel free to submit what you like Thanee this isn't a first-come first-serve campaign.

How do you feel about allowing Initiate of Selune to apply to Favored Souls?

That's fine by me.

I'm looking at putting together a ranger-as-knight type character. Sword and board, shiny armor, horse animal companion, the whole nine yards. Details to follow.

How offensive is slight metagaming due to just the title of the adventure? Favored enemy: Undead ?

Thats fine you'll need all the help you can get, especially with me as DM. Perhaps you could be part of the Lathander's Order of Aster.

Questions, questions, questions...

1) How much do I have to spend for extra spells (above and beyond my 2 per level)? It seems just about every DM has a house rule for this, thus I am asking?

2) How much XP are you allowing to be spent on Crafting Items and/or Permanent Effects?

1) How you spend your money is up to you, as long as you don't spend more than 1/2 of it on any one item.
2) You can spend as much XP as you want, as long as you don't go down a level, so this equates to 6500 XP, bear in mind though that you are expected to level over the course of these adventures, so if you spend to much you might find yourself lagging behind in the final adventure.

I'm interested, if there is still room...

I'm thinking Roguish-type. Maybe CN rogue/shadowdancer, or rogue/shadow-walker/Telflammar Shadowlord (provided the last two are allowed, they are from Forgotten Realms: Unapproachable East, I've had a GM veto it before).

Are you taking first-come first-served, or if you have more than 5 character sheets by the 11th, are you picking 5 from them?

This isn't a first-come first-served campaign, so submit you character, then I'll choose the group on the 11th. Also I will only be picking 5 characters for this, in the past I've gotten myself into trouble by picking more.

And secondly I've just read over the Shadow Walker template and the Telflammar Shadowlord PrC and I can see why some DM's might veto it, however make the character as you like, I'll then be able to see if it is too overpowered.

So have you finished the gestalt one or is this in addition to that?

This is in addition to my 'Adventures in Cormyr' and my gestalt 'Age of Heroes' campaign.

I'm thinking perhaps a psion (kineticist), I looked at the erudite in the back of Complete Psionic as a variant but I find that they over-limited the unique powers per day. 7 powers per day at 13th level is tiny since a normal psion at that level can manifest up 25 different powers. That and the cost of additional powers is excessive since it costs 20 xp per erudite level rather than power level.

My other thought is perhaps a straight knight 13, since the other game where I was playing a knight fell through.

Actually, I didn't explain this very well. I meant, how much do new spells cost to add to my spell book? Is it the typical DMG cost of (Spell Level x 50 gp) + 100 gp per page (which basically equates to a total of 150 gp x Spell Level)?

Yes, lets stick with what the DMG says.

 

[Thanee]

As a wizard at this level you spend 12,500 gp fixed on scribing spells plus 50 gp/spell level (25 gp for 1st level) to get a source to copy from.

Now that doesn't make the choice much easier.

I'll just write up both and see which I like better.

[Candide]

Put me down. I'm thinking of playing a bard. A "face" of the party, in addition to buff/support

 

[Tyler Durden]

BTW, I'm not planning on playing a duskblade...I was most interested in PHB II for feats and retraining, so feel free to play any gish type you like.

Lord Raven, how would you feel about a Monk/Cleric/Sacred Fist combination?

 

[Thanee]

Not a gish ... human.

Ok, good to know. Thanks!
