[Information] Hammering Out Details

[Mason]

I chose a Xeph for several reasons. They have a +2 DEX, not a Humanoid, Darkvision of 60', +1 ST vs spells and such and are natural Psionic so I can take the feats that I want without having to grab the Wild Talent Feat.

Xephs aren't humanoids?

Three times per day, a xeph can increase his or her speed by 10 feet, plus 10 feet per four character levels beyond 1st, to a maximum increase of 30 feet at 9th character level and higher. These bursts of speed are considered a competence bonus to the xeph’s base speed. A burst of speed lasts 3 rounds.

Str 13, Dex 11, Con 12, Int 10, Wis 9, Cha 8.

Hi Firestorm,
Will you be allowing LA buy off and will the 3000 extra xp cover a +1 LA buy off?

Berek, you said you wanted to be a Crusader, hmm? So Adolfo has to trapfind. Or find another solution to your trap needs.

Wait... wasn't I the very first person to post what they were going for? Kensai and trapfinding don't mix well....

[Mason]

I was going off memory about the Xephs. Could've sworn they were an aberation.

Oh, and I think Ducky has the Stealth/Skill spot with a Rogue.

[Ducky]

Here is my rogue. She is a work in progress. I didn't get any kind of background or description done on her and it got late, so I'll finish tomorrow.

Tarandia Corduveil

[Shanrio]

Sorry for taking so much time, but my character's completed.

Meet Emma Ciél Hanao, resident spellthief/chameleon and jack of all trades.

And if you didn't notice, "Emma Ciél Hanao" is an anagram of "I am a Chameleon".

I'll act as secondary trapfinder and secondary divine caster. If someone can provide a spellbook, I can prepare and cast arcane spells as well, but those would conflict with the spell failure from my armor and shield.

Combat-related stats:

67 HP
21 AC
20% miss chance from Minor Cloak of Displacement
+7/1d3+1 spellstoring Gauntlet as means of attack(in addition to spells)

=Very inept at melee combat. Buff spells *might* fix that, but don't really count on me for dealing much damage. I'll probably use my weapon to store dispel magic or bestow curse(or something similar).

If you have complete warrior, the Invisible Blade prestige class might interest you.

I think I have enough on my sheet to start. Marco, the Kensai

[firestorm95]

Excellent. We wait for Berek, the... whatever? Yes.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but Ducky, doesn't your character have +5d6 sneak attack?
Rogues gain +1d6 at first, and +1d6 per two levels after that.
Like...
+2d6 at Level 3, +3d6 at Level 5, and +4d6 at Level 7. So, +5d6 at level 9.

Also, YES LA+1 Buyoff. I DID say SRD, right? Right?

Mason, I think you meant Elan. But they get -2 to CHA, and that's bad for Warlocks.

Berek will either provide Firepower or Meleepower to the party (along with selfheal), and it helps.

[Ducky]

Thanks Firestorm. So my LA +1 Tiefling can use the 3000 extra xp and be level 10 rather than 9. Is that correct?

Sorry on the sneak attack mistake. It was late and I was having a hard time concentrating when I was doing that part. I fixed it.


Adolfo thank you, I will look into that prestige class.

[Efekjek]

Dosh, Barbarian is done. Is everybody else in my group done? Who's left?

[Mason]

Nomad

Anyone and everyone is invited to go over my sheet and make recommendations or point out errors.


Also, when you said Completes, does that mean the Spell Compendium and the Magic Item Compendium. And is the PHBII considered Core?

[firestorm95]

Of course!
I had many an experience with DMs that would not allow Spell Compendium due to some of its high-powered spells.

PHBII is included, yes. I want the maximum percentage of variety in this campaign.

[Adolfo]

Could the players of "The Experiment" PM me their finished character sheets? I want to make sure you're ready and I don't want to get anything mixed up.
When I get them, I'll start up the game.

Can I get an opinion of my character for The Silver Tower?

[Rogue13]

My character for "The Experiment" is in the works. Should be able to put him up tonight.
