Wildwood Red in Tooth and Claw [OOC]

[chakken98]

Hey Chakken,

I'll be in tucson for a weekend at the end of march. Any cool nightclubs/jazzclubs you can recommend?

shoot me an email DrZombie and I'll direct you to the clubs and what not that I know of and give a description of them to the best of my abilities.

 

[chakken98]

Chakken looks good.

A few points.

Crossbows are not something that can be made or generally bought in the village. It is possible that one was picked up from somewhere but I'd want you to have some story for that (such as a gift from a seed you healed) or limit yourself to items from the area (the dover use stone arrows, spear heads, axe heads, etc.)

Ability score bonuses do not grant bonus spells known, only bonus spell slots.

I did not mention it before but Dover are generally slightly shorter than humans. 6'1" is tall but still within the reasonable range of heights and fine.

will fix the spells...and I figured the dover were smaller being doglike but I wanted Thelso to be one of the few taller dover,

as for the crossbow; if you approve the below then we good. if not I'll switch to short spears instead of crossbow.

There was a time when Thelso would wander around the village into the wildwood to see to the nurturing of nature and wild life. He would never venture out to far, as he was only one dover and should anything come into his path that might be agrresive he would not want a conflict to ensue. But there was one day while listening to the sounds of the birds in the sky, he heard a faint cry of an animal in pain. As always, he found his way to the source of the noise. And to his suprise it was no animal at all but an outsider. Thelso had seen outsiders before, but rarely ever this close. It appeared that this outsider was a male that had been gravely wounded in some sort of conflict. Thelso began to pray to the goddess and healed him as best he could. The mans armor was badly damaged, and was cover in his and others blood. His weapons laid before him. Thelso gathered up what he could, a sword, some device that appeared to short little arrows from it, his backpack. Since Thelso was not made to carry so much so he travel slowly not to injure the outsider any further. After what seemed like days to Thelso (which was more like an hour) he had made it to his home. Other dover of the city help Thelso carry this outsider to his temple. There Thelso along with other healers, clensed him of the rest of his wounds and nursed him back to health. The outsider was greatful to the Dover and Thelso for helping him. And as a gift the man gave Thelso his crossbow. He did his best to explain it function and how it would work. The outsider stayed in with the Dover for a few more weeks training Thelso on the use of the crossbow, until the day he began his journey home. Thelso has kept this in his home as a token of friendship.

That's fine Chakken.

 

[chakken98]

Sweet, then I'm ready to go. I updated Thelso that I posted earlyer with the updated info. just let me know when I can start i guess.

 

[Voadam]

I'm working plotwise on getting the party back to the village where new characters can meet up.

 

[chakken98]

Sounds good, I'll be patiently awaiting your go. Thanks

 

[chakken98]

hey voadam, I made a slight change. I realized that I didnt take any ranks in Heal so I drop My single point in diplomacy and pick up a rank in heal. That is the last change I will need to make.

1 Ahh, I see. When you said "Either the raging bear fighting style, or a barbarian who just likes using his fists and knees instead of weapons." you were just being descriptive of the style you were going for with a gestalt barbarian monk, not trying to decide between a normal barbarian or the bear variant barbarian to gestalt with monk. A bear form martial artist concept or a brawling barbarian both sound fine.

2 I might allow a 16 point buy version (each step down I go 8 point buy less) A specific LA +2 race you want to go gestalt with? Or +3 at 8 point buy, possibly even +4 at 0 point buy. A half dragon gestalt with all stats starting at 8 base might be OK, I'd need to think over a specific proposal first.

3 You can come from the Conan world, but Cimmerians will just be humans mechanically.

Ok, still confused. If I wanna play a human gestalt barb
:monk, how many point buy would that be?

 

[Voadam]

Ok, still confused. If I wanna play a human gestalt barb

32 point buy for a human gestalt barbarian monk.

24 point buy for a LA +1 dover gestalt barbarian monk.

A note on the mechanics.

I will post what mechanics happen to the PCs IC but generally not what happens to NPCs. So if Dog45 had still been active I would have said IC that Firblain went to -16 hp and was dying, required a fort save vs. DC 16 to avoid death, and that Inamar's two cure light wounds spells each healed 3 hp leaving him at -10 and stabilized.

Since Dog45 has gone inactive and Firblain is effectively now an NPC (unless he comes back later and I let him rejoin) I handled things purely descriptively IC even though there are mechanical things going on.
