- The two magical oils that the party has are 1) fiery burst 2) icy burst.
The amulets that the three Tainted were wearing are durable spell components. I'm pretty sure I mucked up that explanation.
On Apr 27, 2008 at 03:45 pm Tom said :- I'm going to play a priest.
On Apr 27, 2008 at 02:29 pm Keith said :- The party will have access to Yuna's (the priestess) spell at various times, depending on the scenario.
On Apr 14, 2008 at 11:01 am John said :- Since I can't play, Keith feel free to use me if need be.
On Apr 13, 2008 at 11:09 pm Tom said :- I was already thinking of a Priest. Just wanted to make sure there wasn't one already.
On Apr 13, 2008 at 07:09 pm Steve said :- I'm Finn and I'm the bow guy ranger.
Joe is Hassan and he has a very large axe.
Tim is Po Kain
John is angrix and I think he's aiming at some prestige class that will let him advance as wizard and sorceror simultaneously.
Mick is Arlen.
I don't think anyone else has a prestige class in mind, but i could be mistaken. The woman we're guarding is a priest which may mean healing is easy to come by AFTER an adventure but not during. I'm not sure...
On Apr 13, 2008 at 05:50 pm Mick said :- the party consists of Finn the elven ranger, Hassan the troll warrior, Po Kain the human monk, Angriz the human wizard, and Arlen the human Bard.
On Apr 13, 2008 at 04:47 pm Tom said :- What does the party already have?
On Apr 10, 2008 at 08:14 pm Keith said :- Favored enemies are as follows: 1)aberration (I can't think of any that I wouldn't class as a fiend) 2) fiend:elemental (less common but more powerful) 3) Fiend:beast (like the bugs, probably most common but simpler to deal with) 4)Fiend: Humanoid (thankfully uncommon, dangerous because they are the most intelligent) 5)fiend:plant(uncommon, but tough) 6) and Undead (dead left in the heavier Miasma can seldom find peace).
On Apr 9, 2008 at 09:24 pm Steve said :- Are there Fiends: Animals? Like for the beetles, or are they basically considered abominations? I'm thinking about my favored enemy, which I neglected to choose.
On Apr 9, 2008 at 09:18 pm Keith said :- Other than languages what other things do I need to address?
On Apr 7, 2008 at 06:53 pm mick said :- well then look to a half elf bard who is travelling the waterways learnign the stories and songs of the river folk.
Since it sounds like the rivers may play at least a semi important role in the lives of a large number of the population of the world.
On Apr 7, 2008 at 06:32 pm keith said :- Favored enemies 1)Plant fiends 2) Bestial Fiends 3)Humanoid Fiends 4)Elemental Fiends 5)Undead fiends. I will elaborate more later.
Monk or priest would be fine. if you don't want to be affiliated with the powers that be that would be fine, but that would come with it's own problems. And the NPC you will be with is a priestess. While I don't see her being with the party indefinitely, I don't see her leaving for a while. I don't want anyone feeling an NPC is stealing their thunder if I can avoid it.
If there are goods going from A to B there will be people trying to waylay said goods, as well as people helping them on their way. 1/2 elf would be fine. 1/2 orc was out because I don't plan on having orcs. Please consider though, why would a NG priestess choose a pirate as a companion? I'm not saying no, you are going to have to sell it though.
On Apr 7, 2008 at 05:38 pm mick said :- well with the water guy.. and i was toying iwth the idea of a half elf but not sure thats an allowed race; I could know anyone that would have cause to cross or use the river for travel or trade. But i havent decided on thief or fighter yet or even a 1/2elf bard
On Apr 7, 2008 at 05:14 pm Tim said :- I was thinking either a monk or a priest...
I could even know an elven ranger who has stopped by my temple/monastery during his travels.
On Apr 7, 2008 at 03:26 pm mick said :- my thought is for some sort of fighter? who makes his living travelling the river.. possibly a pirate or guide if they have that sort of thing.
On Apr 7, 2008 at 02:50 pm Keith said :- 1)I looked up Hida Defender, that should work. Ignore the race requirement obviously.
2)Fiends as a favored enemy is too broad. I'll come up with some divisions.
3) Steve, would you amend the character generation information with the skills change. I am hoping to encourage skill use.
On Apr 7, 2008 at 02:45 pm Joe said :- Can a ranger take "fiends" as a favored enemy?
The normal cost buy limited ranks sounds good, a fighter can learn to pick locks, but not to excell at it.
On Apr 7, 2008 at 02:30 pm Steve said :- I think it needs to be the more generic "Skills which can be used untrained" rather than "which you can use untrained". There are several feats (Jack of All Trades PH II and Elf Dilettante Races of the Wild leap to mind) which allow "you" to attempt skill rolls with even skills which normally require that you be trained.
Beyond that, I don't see any issue. Characters typically find it hard to get all the skills they need anyhow. I think you might see some shift away from Knowledges, but maybe not. At any rate, I think those universal skills should be purchasable at 1 pt/rank, but limited like non-class skills in terms of number of ranks.
On Apr 7, 2008 at 02:37 pm Joe said :- oriental adventures
On Apr 7, 2008 at 02:18 pm Keith said :- There is something I forgot to get opinions on. It class/cross class skill arrangement always annoyed me. I was thinking about some "'universal" skills. Mostly for simplicity sake if you can attempt it untrained you can use it as a class skill. A fighter that is able t6 spot an ambush will live longer, and why would a rogue have difficulty riding? Getaway anyone? Knowledge and language are some others that don't make sense. Or would this water down some classes? Rogues for example being skill oriented. But then the skill oriented classes get more points. Thoughts please?
On Apr 7, 2008 at 02:09 pm keith said :- A 2nd level character with a henchman? Maybe later. Page 212 of what? Oriental adventures or Rokugan ?
And how oriental? That is up to you. It will be sort of a mix. I will include some elements from OA, but the source material is often fairly western. And often kind of weird to be honest, but I won't be using those aspects. To the root question, a traditional ranger would fit in fine.
On Apr 7, 2008 at 11:32 am Steve said :- How Oriental should we be?
On Apr 7, 2008 at 06:27 am Joe said :- I was thinking of a troll based off the crab samerai from oriental adventurers going for the hida defender from page 212.
Background would be professional monster killer, someone who may have worked at least once with any number of other characters.
Could I star
