We Are Defenders of the Night, We Are Gargoyles! [Recruitment Closed]

[Angel Tarragon]

Well i though of making a rogue but it's not working out. Im tossing around a few more concepts. Maybe a Monk or a Soulknife if Soulknives are allowed. Haven't played one yet but they seem intresting.

No Soulknives please. I do like the monk idea though.

Questions re: Equipment.

Do you allow use of the Magic Item Compensium?

Are you using the description of Improved Wildshape where items worn will often not meld if the shape being assumed is compatible with them, or the description of polymorph where pretty much any item you're wearing melds and becomes nonfunctional?

What sort of things can we spend the 16k+ that you earmarked can't be spent on magic?

Let me know what you want from it so I can approve it.

Items that need a body slot to function will only be absorbed if the new form doesn't have a corresponding slot and will be rendered inoperable. Otherwise, the item will shrink or expand to suit the new form.

Well, since you are starting off with a piece of property to defend, you can build up an armoury (weapons and armor cache), which can be masterwork and can be made from special materials (like adamantine).

As for your character, you might also want to consider your own personal grove to aattend to when not adventuring. This would incur the cost of upkeep as well as spending some money to invest it with magical powers. I'll post more about this later; I'm pretty tired right now and need to go to sleep soon.

Indeedy...I really like the idea of having a grove or something similar.

16k isn't much to build a stronghold with in the SBG...but I'd be happy to make a simple one.

Malachite's sheet is posted to the Rogues' Gallery, but I didn't get to the background/descriptive text yet, since I was very tired and distracted over the past few days, then sick last night and today. :\

For now, it's him as a Duskblade.

Just pinging. Any news or input?

Still doing inventory but it should be done when I get home.

Oh! Also, are you using standard rules for combining item functions? (ie - full cost for most expensive function of the item, plus an additional +50% to the costs of any additional functions)

I'm going over my books for info/inspiration on Druidic Groves. If you have Quint Druid let me know, it'll cut down of the amount of info I need to post up for you.

Yes; the cost for combining items is normal. The plus +150% is only for body slot items though. Only like items can be combined; Amulet of Health & Amulet of Natural Armor, Boots of Striding and Sprining & Boots of the Winterlands.

I don't have Quintessential Druid, no...

I once designed a druid grove using Stronghold Builder's Guide though.

If you still have the document handy, please email it to me so that I can take a look at it.

 

[Shayuri]

Oh, hee...well, it was built for an epic game.

I don't think it'd be appropriate for this.

I was just saying that I could use SBG to make a grove. However! I've no objections to using the rules you have the book for.

Sorry, didn't mean to make that a tease like that.
