Just because that works in zombie movies doesn't mean it works in Eberron

How many submissions are you taking before you pick characters? Will there be a submission deadline, or are you just playing by ear?

I'm playing by ear, but probably the Friday after I think I've got five good proposals, so either this Friday or next.

Becasue we have class defense bonuses, are we not worrying about armor? Or is armor DR?

I'm still doing armor as AC; use armor instead of your class defense bonus if higher.

I'd like to pitch my hat into the ring.

I propose Horace Greer, a human scout who serves as a frontier guide for wealthy city-folk wanting to feel a little wild. He's a steely eyed man, who cultivates the image of a cold killer in order to keep the cityfolk happy. In actuality he's an awkward man who never much learned manners or social skills and keeps to the wild to avoid embarrassing himself too awfully. His parents were poor dirt farmers in the Maradal Principalities and he mostly avoids them, given that his father is a hopeless farmer who hides in the bottle and his mother is a retiring woman who would never dream of standing up to her abusive spouse. First chance he got, he bought himself a rifle and named her Ellora and took off into the wilds.

Another item i would like to ask about, the boot sheath, again from Arms and Equipment. Gives you +4 bonus to conceal a light weapon. (It's 3.0, so have to change the +4 to Pick Pocket to +4 Sleight of Hand) Also, how much do speed reloaders cost?

As for my character, he's not done yet. He's a rogue, an assassin, who is very religious and kills those he thinks are evil. He's always prepared (hence the multiple weapons) and ready for anything. Recently, the church has started giving him assignments to get rid of unwanted cultists and people they just don't like.

I'm still doing armor as AC; use armor instead of your class defense bonus if higher.

Hmmm.. just to point out, that makes an Armoured fighter/Paladin not only pointless, it's a penalty.

@ 4th level we've got the same Armour we could get from Full Plate, and no max dex/ACP.

By lvl 12, it's +5 Full Plate with no max dex/ACP.

My problem is that my vision of the paladin includes Shining Armour, but wearing said armour means I'm paying a fair amount of GP AND taking penalties just to fill RP background.

Really, it's more like full plate plus five points of AC bonuses from magic -- probably spread out among enhancement to armor, ring of protection, amulet of natural armor, gloves of dexterity, and enhancement to a shield or defending weapon. That's why the class bonus is so high; it's not just replacing armor, it's replacing all that other stuff too.

The way I'm drawing things up, armor should really only be useful in specific, narrow circumstances, and at mid levels or higher, only by experts, so how about a feat... Also note that shields provide a shield bonus, not an armor bonus, and therefore do stack with class defense.

Armored Defense
Prerequisite: Str 13, Armor Proficiency
Benefit: When wearing armor that you are proficient in, you can add one half of your armor bonus to your class defense bonus against melee oponents.
Normal: You use your armor bonus or your class defense bonus, whichever is higher.
Special: You can take this feat more than once; each time you take it, it applies to a different class of armor (light, medium, or heavy).

 

[Jemal]

So half your armour... Round up or down(Remember rounding down would make b.plate, Chain mail, and Chain shirt the same)? I'll probably end up investing in that feat, makes the paladin concept more of a tank, which I like.

d20 convention is that you always round down.
