X4: Master of the Desert Nomads - OOC

[Leif]

Leif: I forgot to mention this: Even though Bevin is now a beguiler, his spellcasting will still be based off of Intelligence, not Charisma. (So he's a variant.)

Remember, he had Immortal aid in upgrading his magic, so it's understandable that he's a little unique. I'm not too worried about him being overpowered by knowing the cantrips. If he suddenly starts dominating all the action with his 4 cantrips/day, then I might reconsider.

You should post the new Bevin in the X5: Temple of Death - RG, not in the old X4 thread.

I don't know why but right now you mostly have a beguiler 8, in the old thread. I guess it's a work in progress. He is not a beguiler 8 and never was. He's a (variant) beguiler 9. Don't forget, a beguiler in light armor has no ASF%.

Wow! Thanks, Kinem! How awesomely wonderful! (Oh, dear! Can you imagine the monsters he's going to throw at us now?? EEEeek!!)

Maybe Father Fuller will need to "donate" that magical chain shirt to the church of Bevin

Donate??? Sounds to me like you'd be paying RENT on the +2 mace!

 

[renau1g]

Well... I thought that maybe Bevin was offering it "rent-free" to the local church and claiming that rent as a tax-deduction

[note: damn this tax season, my brain begins thinking only in those terms]

Let's just say that X5 nudges it up a notch in the challenge department

Hmmm, I guess we could work out something along those lines. Hate it? Why, are you an accountant? If so you have my sincere sympathies, but I also suspect that your circumstances are of your own creation, so I can't be TOO sympathetic!

I noticed, poor Aram, those negative levels hurt, and we can't even get in there to help him.

Well, we could, I guess, but Bevin sure isn't about to! He's already been there, and it's SCARY in there! But you'd better brush up your Restoration, Lesser spells!

Uhg, I despise energy drain! LOL. I really do hope Father Fuller has some Restoration handy!

And I had held out hope that an AC of 31 (+6 from total defense) would protect Aram from getting an ass-whuppin!

Uhg, I despise energy drain! LOL. I really do hope Father Fuller has some Restoration handy!

Me, too! Aram is Bevin's all-time favorite meat shield, so it would just not do to have his durability compromised!

Leif: As it turns out, the beguiler is already intelligence-based

Rhun: An off-hand weapon only gets 1/2 strength bonus, so it's 1d6+2 with Aram's second scimitar.

Note that Aram currently has a -1 penalty to hit from the negative level.

renau1g: Remember that Father Fuller still has no holy symbol, and no material components, so he can't cast most of his spells.

Since the material component for Shield of Faith is a piece of parchment with holy text on it, it's possible he could have made some this morning. I will be generous and allow the casting, but from now on you will have to explicitly state any time you attempt to make your own material components, or I will risk losing my ranking in the Evil DM's Guild
