Vecna's Revenge

[Theocrat]

Hi all -
I agree with Eydis about the light blue.
With EN World, we're unable to send PM's unless we're paid members. As such, what should we do to get information to you that we'd rather not share with others (like I'm going to go after King Mellub and stab him, winning the hearts and minds of the people of Greyhawk as I free them from the tyranny that he presents, with the Path of Pholtus). Huh, what, I didn't say nut-ting....
Also, you mentioned that only classes from the PHB could be used, but then mentioned several complete/ races of books could be used. Is that to mean the the lvl 20 classes from PHB II, Mini HB, Complete classes are not open for discussion? I ask becasue from the Complete Mage, there are new class options, such as removing one of the domains in favor of taking a wizard school and getting spells from Abjuration, Diviniation or Necromancy at each level.
Also, I tried to give my PC feats that I list in the story (scribe scroll, combat casting, but don't have the one that should go along with it, martial weapon prof.). Do you give bonuses for such things, or allow things outside the box? I have the overall concept of what Kasis is to become (secret) and Paladin reaches a similar plateu goal.
Hmm, may have to go back and review a few books tonight.
I'll look through my stuff and upload it for the calendar, and maps if you need.
Be Well, Be Well Storied.

You can send me an Email: Harold.Murray@us.army.mil. However, I do ask you drop a line in the OOC to let me know you sent it. Also include in the subject something to let my wife know not to open it.
I am game for feats, skill tricks, alternate class features etc. from the books I mentioned. I would like you to review them with me first.

Let me say that is one heck of a background you wrote, the problem is through all that I can't see you being first level. I do like it a lot. I ah hmm want you to start at a higher level. But if you do then you have to wait.... I don't know dude help me out.

Backgrounds come and they go. I could take a lvl of Warrior, or even the acyoltye class first - one of each and that would put me at compariable to a 1st lvl toon. Then from there I'd take cleric (ie - 1war/1acoylte [that dmg cleric class]) and when it's time to level, I go 1st cleric. I think it is compareable to giving something like an ECL of maybe +1. It's not like I'm asking to play a Mummy from Liber Mortis!
Or make me 2nd lvl, with 0XP. But I don't see it as being too high or even out of the the way for 1st. When I started my home campaign, I gave everybody 2nd lvl, with 0 XP, that way the Goliath wasn't too powerful.
And I'd rather not wait, I'd get bored, wander off somewhere and convert to Dalt, god of the Doors or something.

 

[Mellubb]

2nd level with no xp? That is a good idea. I think it would help Jemal too. Does anyone have an objection to this idea.

 

[Eydis]

nah, if that's what you all want it's fine with me.

Tactician - Always Thinking of the Next Step

Hi all -

I spent 4 years at the Community College getting an Associates Degree. I ended up with three of them. Then it only took me another 2 years at the university to get my Bachelors.
What I’m saying is that lots of experience doesn’t mean that all of it was good or is useable or applicable.
My PC’s background should give you much to work with, even giving hint to a possible alignment change as well as other more diabolical aspects of the game and in-depth character placement and motivations.
Besides thinking that the rules don’t permit me to have one extra feat (I’ll take a disadvantage that’s even worse than an 8 Con) to grant Martial Weapon Prof. I’m not asking for much or even an additional level. Below I’ve posted more about my character and how he thinks.
I’ve posted (below) a bit about being a tactician as well as what potential base PHB spells I’ll likely be picking up and what progression.
From the below, I’m doing more than just my base character, you see that I’ll post good intelligent and thoughtful posts, as well as give an outline as to what my PC’s motivations are and why I believe that he’ll be in a position for party leader as well as party spokesman. I have good Strength scores, high Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma – only sacrificing things that would hinder myself and not the party as a whole.

Motivations
Spell casters are required to be smart and wise, granting them the ability to understand an observance of a situation and come up with the perfect solution with analysis or intuition. It is required to understand the innate characteristics of those that one must interact with to maintain perfect harmony on the battlefield. Knowing where one is putting forth the magical know-how is just as important as the swordsman’s arm and to whom it is swung. A tactical thinker can often be bossy, because they cannot count on others having the same vantage point which lends others an advantage during combat and other situations. Focusing on combat tactics, social tactics, stealth, damage, and general areas of expertise, spell casters lend themselves to being the best tacticians available in the game. Being able to work well with others is a requirement, as is having a loud enough voice to be heard over the sounds of battle.

Spell list for Cleric

1st 3/1 0 – detect magic, read magic, guidance

5 – true seeing, hallow/unhallow



----------------
I hope I'm giving you more than enough reason to choose Kasis Rayg for this quest, even if it means granting me "wife-like" ability to attend the group without foresaking someone else's spot (you only wanted 6, but didn't want wife's position to detract from other's placements, thus making room for 7 players). Having a WifeFIEND who playes in my games, I know the rule - I have a husband with his wife playing and a wife with her husband playing (2nd placement doesn't mean worse player, just means they are the objectified player!).
Be Well, Be Well Studied.

P.S. Yes, Kasis Rayg <Kas-is Rae-gah> is an anigram of Issak Gary Haywood. I figure it was good enough for Gary Gygax, it's good enough for Issak Gary!

You said to email you or to post on the OCC. What is that? Where is it located?
Hawaii! I grew up on Maui before leaving in 90 to play medic in the navy with the marines. Sometimes I miss the nice 82' year round weather, esp. when it's 120 in August here in Vegas, Baby!

If I have made any errors please let me know.

We will start at 1st level as planned, Kasis has just seen a lot of the world.
I have added my Rogue's Gallery to the original post.
If fenixdown post a character it will be an alt.

If there are no objections I would like to get started ASAP.
If I can be of any service let me know.
The ICC is coming soon.

 

[Mellubb]

You said to email you or to post on the OCC. What is that? Where is it located?

I have changed the Email address to ensure my very loving and darling wife does not accidently delete what you send. If you have something you do not want to share with the group Email it to me. Otherwise post it in the OOC which I posted in the original post and Here

 

[Mellubb]

We will finish up any questions about character creation here. Then once that is settled I will close this thread and we will begin in the OOC and ICC and RG.
