Magagumo 08-12-04, 07:34 PM	Having seen the great success Myrridin has had with running a module on these boards, I would like to initate my own P&P module. Personally, I have a great interest in running this mini-campaign, The Banewarrens, as it was created by the great Monet Cook (who I admittedly revere) and since I am finding that I will be unable to run it here at school next year, despite my best intentions (simply put, there is no good time to run it and I do have to graduate ;)) Thusly, given the relative relaxed nature of P&P gamign (re: time) I am attempting to establish this module. SO here's how it will go: Being as this is the CoCO, I will only be allowing material from the COre books, and the SRD of the XPHB. Second, if you are already involved in the Return EE module, you may sign up, but I will give precedence to others. I have nothing against those who are in RoTEE *shakes fist*, but I just want to make sure everyone has a chance to participate. Third, I will caution that my primary time to run this thing will be from 2 PM EST to 11 PM EST. So if you run on a schedule far removed from these times, you may miss out on the action. Presently, I will be permitting a party of 4 6th level characters to participate, with a possibility of a 5th member being added later. We will be working with a 36 point-buy, and I will note that both combat and role-playing opportunites will come into play in this game, so all builds are welcome. It is a dangerous module, so be warned :devil: I don't make it much easier. I will keep track of who is interested and who is on a wiating list. I invite any questions, and am always happy to see possible characters posted- Good character backgrounds & clever builds will give you a better chance of being a selected member. I open the floor to questions/concerns, etc. Edit: Summary below
Magagumo 08-12-04, 07:41 PM	Characters: -Any class or race from the DMG, PHB, MM, and XPHB (SRD) -6th level, 36 point buy, Alignment: Good or neutral with good leanings Equipment: -13,000 gp, No item worth more than 4.5k, no three items worth a total of 6.5k+ House Rules: (Recommended by Monte Cook) 1. Below one's hit points, one should list Dying/Dead: #/# Rather than following unconscious at -1, and dying at -10, a player (and monsters/NPcs) will become staggered based on their Con Modifer (their Dying Score) and die at their Con score. Example: Joe-Bob the Dwarf Fighter has a Con of 15. Dying/Dead: -2/-15. Joe-Bob will be staggered when his hp run from 0 to -2, he falls unconscious at -3 hp, and dies at -15. Moseph the Elven Commoner has a Con of 9. Dying/Dead: 1/9. Moseph will be staggered when his hp reaches 1, falls unconscious at 0, and dies at -9. Xel'Tarof the Xill Tank has a Con of 32. Dying/Dead: -11/-32. Xel'Tarof will be staggered when his hp range from 0 to -11, falls unconscious at -12, and dies at -32 hp. Characters/Players: 1. _____/ Druid_Roxxors 2.

Ender the Xenocide 08-12-04, 07:50 PM	I would be interested in playing. What kind of game is this going to be? (dungeon crawling, save the princess, ect)
Magagumo 08-12-04, 07:56 PM	Banewarrens is an extensive dungeon-crawl with a reasonable amount of NPC interaction- very smilar to Return to EE in its scope. It reflects a "defeat terrible evil" scheme, but does not require an individual character to be entirely focused on that goal from the outset. Feel no limitations on your story, and keep in mind that by 6th level, each of you weilds a fair amount of power to the avergae individual. SO count on being in dangerous locales, fighting savage monsters, and dealing with a bit of mystery/intrigue on the side. I will hold off on selecting the party until I actually see some builds, but Druid and Ender, you guys are certainly welcome to post your characters, as first come = first served :) Edit: Yup, the 3.5 Psionics are permitted, and I'll be happy to help you learn them if you want to make such a character. "P&P" is the acronym for "Post & Play", which simply explains how these games are played. Being on the waiting list is no problem, I'm there myself :D
Sindorin 08-12-04, 07:56 PM	I know I'm on the alt list for RttToEE, but I would like to participate in this, sounds like a good time. What exactly is P&P (or is that a stupid question... whatever) so psionics are allowed?
Beldin 08-12-04, 10:03 PM	I am interested, too. But in Germany were are some hours away from est-time. I hope that does not matter too much!
roll8dn 08-13-04, 01:13 AM	I'd be interested in joining. As long as you have no objections, I'll put together a character and post it.

His clan moved to the nearby town of Hillsfar because of the good ore there. Storn served in the city guard for several years, earning himself a well-deserved reputation as a beserker. He would charge headlong into battle, heedless of the odds. After learning to protect his home, he set out into the wild to learn how to protect himself better. After several years in the wild, he returned to find that the town was even more prosperous than ever. Quickly becoming tired of the sedentary life that Hillsfar had to offer, he set out onto the road to find adventure, and is still looking as of now. Standing 4'7" tall, he has the hard features of a seasoned veteran and the scars to prove that he is one. With his trusty greatsword, Growler, he fights as a Dwarf possessed. Wading into battle with his bright mail with the dragon emblazoned across the front, he shies from nothing and is a sight to behold. He has a very developed sense of honor, and, despite not thinkning that the "civilized" life is the best for everyone, he knows that as a good person, it is his fate in life to protect those weaker than himself. He hopes that, someday, he will make his clan proud (they did not all approve of his leaving to look for adventure), and help the name of Rivenshield become legend. His attempts to date have fallen somewhat short of accomplishing this, but he is a seasoned veteran nonetheless. His fight with the drake at Coldwater made him a local hero for saving the town, but the notoriety soon wore off for him, and he moved on. Afraid of nothing but boredom and being caged in the trappings of civilization, he always looks for the next mountain to climb. Edit: weight for the sunrods and spelling in the description, plus the skills and various other things.
Ashenai 08-13-04, 06:55 AM	I'd definitely be interested in joining, as well.
MotherBast 08-13-04, 07:14 AM	I'm probably too late, but I would be intrested as well.
Magagumo 08-13-04, 08:46 AM	Wow.. I should have expected this quick a response, huh? Alright, Druid, Ender, Sindorin, & Beldin were the first to respond. Thus, the current group will be the first 4, with roll8dn, Ashenai, and Motherbast being first on the waiting list. I would love to see the chars from the main group as soon as you get the chance- I'm looking to start this within the next couple of days. Feel free to PM me any private concerns/secret backgrounds/etc that you would to discuss with me. Thanks guys! :) Edit: Feel free to leave your character posted roll8dn, as I'm sure I'll be adding a 5th group emmber soone nough. Also, if someone knows how to set-up those maps... I would be most appreciative if I could be taught as well (PM would be lovely) ^_^;;
Moherajikuyx 08-13-04, 09:19 AM	Way to go Mag! :thumbsup: Originally posted by Beldin I am interested, too. But in Germany were are some hours away from est-time. I hope that does not matter too much! I think that the best is when the players are uniformely sprayed in the world, as that way there's a post any three or four hours in average, with a good continuity.
Beldin 08-13-04, 11:33 AM	Is an Aasimar proficient with all simple and martial weapons because of the outsider traits, or does he need an "outsider" level in order to get these? If yes then I'd like to play an Aasimar Sorcerer/Eldritch Knight. Ah, its yes - forgot about Aku!
Sindorin 08-13-04, 04:58 PM	I'll post a character soon... I am thinking Cleric of Olidammara, but I am not sure what race to be.
Magagumo 08-13-04, 05:39 PM	:thumbsup: Sounds good guys :thumbsup:
Sindorin 08-13-04, 09:15 PM	Sokai Calanis Bio: “So, there I was standing at the edge of the pier, awaiting the arrival of the ship bearing my love, Ara. The ship arrived in port, and my heart began beating rapidly as I awaited the captain’s orders to disembark the ship, I saw her kissing with the first mate my love, Ara, kissing him. The next thing I knew, The ship was aflame, the Ara, her father the captain, the first mate, and the crew were all swimming to the edge of the pier, and I was sweating, completely exhausted. I left town that night, ashamed at my actions and shattered at my loss. However, my emotions those are what have made me strong. My five year journey has helped me learn to control my anger, and focus all other states into the same power. I feel at times that I have mastered all except one day I received a parchment by carrier pidgeon from an anonymous sender. It contained a riddle: "Most will desecrate me by their interpretation. Many will mistake me for something else. I am often thrown around prematurely. There is a lot to learn about me, and few know who I really am. Everyone can fall into me. What am I? "To this day I have not been able to figure out the answer I keep the riddle still, hoping some day to solve this cryptic work.” – Sokai Sokai Calanis comes forth from the eastern coast in good spirits, hoping to adventure into unknown realms, find treasure, and possibly bring glory to his family name after his father was exiled from his hometown of Reston because of gambling debts, and his own incident at the pier. This is how he lets on to others. His real goal: find love. He is usually rather quiet, only speaking up when his emotions direct him to, and much like his father, is very persistent to the point where it will get him in trouble. He often goggles at any attractive woman, and it is unsure whether this is a rebound from the hurt he has experienced with Ara, or if it is genuine attraction that he feels justly. His quiet reserved nature allows him to observe the opposite sex with great interest, and he also finds women of races such as elves and humans (and the occasional halfling) especially attractive. When faced with a fight, Sokai tends to forget about bottling everything up and cuts loose, knowing of course that his life is on the line, and those of any companions he may be traveling with. Although he hasn’t found love yet, Sokai greatly appreciates friendship and trust, and is very eager to give his own. The first feature one notices when taking their first glance at Sokai Calanis is his skin. His skin is lightly tanned w/ tiny yellow and slightly larger (but still small) blue crystals embedded , along with a few tatoos. Along with his skin, Sokai's long black hair, gray eyes, and reserved disposition give some the misconception that he is a low-level Dragon Disciple, whereas more knowledgeable people observe him as a Maenad, how he really is. Sokai wears a dark blue cloak with armor underneath, and when travelling carries a backpack full of goodies often known as "Sokai's Bag of Tricks." A bastard sword hangs sheathed from his belt under the cloak where he can simply reach between the fold of his cloak to draw it, and a large crossbow also hangs from his back. Party Relationships -Verosast Ki: Sokai sees the halfling as a welcome addition to the group, bringing many skills. To himself she is a model of female behavior, which, pending on her demeanor, can easily lead Sokai to certain misconceptions about women. -Storn Rivenshield: Sokai is understanding of the dwarf's gruff demeanor, not only because he is dwarf, but also because Sokai knows what it feels like to be disliked in one's hometown. He hopes to help Storn dispel enmity between he and his family. -Zan: Sokai greatly admires the elves, hence why he has taken the time to learn their tongue. In Zan, Sokai admires the wizard's great intelligence, and looks to him often just to see what the intelligent elf will say. He also admires that Zan is adventuring for himself rather than indulging in his family's wealth. -Thynian: Sokai is a very curious fellow, and Thynian's religious practices greatly interest him. Were it not for Sokai's chaotic bent, he might even take further interest in the subject. He respects it nonetheless. Overall, Sokai is a very open-minded individual to everyone's problems, past and present. Stats: Male Maenad Level 6 Wilder Chaotic Neutral Height: 6'0'' Weight: 173 lbs.

Sindorin 08-13-04, 09:16 PM	I decided instead to try out some psionics... :D
Magagumo 08-13-04, 09:36 PM	Nothing at the moment
Sindorin 08-14-04, 12:44 AM	Thanks for the tips. I've NEVER used psionics before, that is why i'm eager to try this character.
Beldin 08-14-04, 08:06 AM	hmm, if you are a wilder then my sorcerer will not be the best choice. Perhaps the Druid and Ender could say what they intend to do, so that we do not become a party of 4 casters.
Ender the Xenocide 08-14-04, 08:38 AM	Heh, I planned on a wizard...
Sindorin 08-14-04, 09:26 AM	oops, I'm sorry guys, I guess we should have discussed who would be what before I went and posted the character... I'm still open to suggestions if you all think I may need to be something else.
Ender the Xenocide 08-14-04, 09:58 AM	Zan is about 5 in a half feet tall, very slender, and kind of pale. He wears blue robes, a black cloak, and a black headband. Around his waist is a black, many pocketed sash with a silver rod tucked in it. Zan is a slightly arrogent, yet well mannered individual, with a love of knowledge and all things magical. He can be cruel at times, more concerned with himself then others. Zan was born a noble in a large elven community. He was trained in the art from an early age under some of the best tutors. He learned fast and well, but instead of taking part in the politics of the city and boosting his family’s wealth and influence as was expected of him, he decided to try his hand at adventuring. His parents disapproved, but he didn’t care much about their concerns. So he gathered his belonging's and some gold he had been saving, and began his search for knowledge and power.

Ender the Xenocide 08-14-04, 10:03 AM	Well, I hope this is a decent wizard, I've never played one before. I hope this is cool with everyone, I notice alot of people wanting to play casters... I don't think it would be a bad idea for a couple of casters since roll8nd is playing a fighter though.
Beldin 08-14-04, 10:43 AM	I could be the fighter then. I have this cool new idea of a twin scimitar wielding cg drow fighter or ranger...
Sindorin 08-14-04, 11:01 AM	that would be fun, i dualed scythes once. @Ender - NICE looking wizard, I like that big fat 23 on Int. You may want to watch your item costs though, but i'll wait for Mag's word on that. I'd also watch the spells in your book, as here in the Core Coliseum it can be quite costly to scribe spells into it. Also, gl in our fight this week :D
Magagumo 08-14-04, 11:07 AM	*Repeatedly stabs Beldin while smiling innocently* :D :D In order to prevent this page from getting overwhelmed, I will be PMing any noted errors in sheets. :) Edit: One thing I will throw out as a caveat/helpful hint, is that this is a dungeon crawl- with traps and all. Hmm, I don't say this to force a party rogue, but I wish all to be aware of the possibility of such. Hmm, if I had my way, I'd allow Eberron's Artificer (not on SRD.. maybe someday) which also can find and pick traps. Till then *shrug*
Beldin 08-14-04, 11:56 AM	@mag: :angel: not new...? since we are only 4 we need: 1 spellcaster/psicaster 1 rouge 1 healer 1 fighter-tank since we arleady have 2 of the first Druid or I need to cover the other three classes. Druid say what you want to take and I will be the other one.
Magagumo 08-14-04, 12:07 PM	Hehe, what can I say? I like originality :smirk: Hmm, if you think the prospect of a sorceror, wilder, and wizard is bad, my first campaign group (which is entering the 3rd year RL of my campaign) was as follows: 3rd lvl Blue Psion (3.0 Psionics=pain) 3rd lvl Kobold Sorceror 1st Rogue/2nd Diviner Half-Elf 1st Cleric Half-Fiend (3.5 version much prefereed- he is Sans Wings and Sp-like abilities) [Snark] 1st Monk/1st Paladin Aasimar *Shakes head* They could barely melee, but their combined casting powers mauled singleton targets. Ironically, the fullplate decorated psion was the tank, wielding a dagger with a -5 from non-proficiency. Weirdest group I've had yet ;) Strangely, the half-fey Swashbuckler Duelist makes me long for the old days :-P
Beldin 08-14-04, 02:06 PM	I knew you would like this cool new drow idea! I start building him;) yes, but your group consisted of at least one melee-tank, caster, healer and rogue.
Magagumo 08-14-04, 02:19 PM	Well, sort of ;) See, the Half-fiend [LN] chose to manipulate negative energy. And the psion could take some hits, but he honestly couldn't hit at all (did crit on some skels a few times though) The only meleer could be the aasimar, and he was using his bare fists with a Str of 14... so he didn't hit much and nearly died from a crit by a Large skeleton (his hp & AC were low to say the least). I agree, it worked out, but it was truly a non-standard group (when faced with SR and Fast Healing, they certainly ran into difficulties) Now I generally accept their incredible power: As it stands (with members graduating and changes made to hideously broken PrC :smirk: ) Half-fiend Cleric/Divine Disciple/Thamurturgist (w/ Undetermined Planar Cohort *shakes fist at Snark*) Aasimar Monk/Paladin/Former Sacred Fist [likely converting to Exorcist of Silver Flame ala Eberron] (w/ Human Sorceress/Alienist cohort) Half-Fey, Half-Human Fighter/Swashbuckler/Duelist Half-Elf Rogue/Diviner/Arcane Trickster Dromite Wilder My life is a world of pain :P
Ender the Xenocide 08-14-04, 02:47 PM	Originally posted by Sindorin Also, gl in our fight this week :D Luck!?!:rant: I need no such thing, for I am the amazing Miro, master of the arcane thingy.... er, I mean, thanks, and good luck to you too. ;)
Ender the Xenocide 08-14-04, 09:49 PM	I think I've worked out all the mistakes, let me know if there's something I missed.
Magagumo 08-14-04, 09:54 PM	err.. I don't mean to offend you, Ender, but it doesn't look too different from this afternoon? I figure either I'm not seeing an updated version, or perhaps you didn't recieve my recent PM? (Re: carrying weights and equipment cost?) Bah, I'm sure there's just some gum in the works, so I'll wait and see if I'm just nto seeing the right version :) Also, I should note for all to keep an eye on the "DM Summary" post (3rd post on pg 1) as it includes information on Characters as well as any new updates/houserules/questions etc. :) See Summary for details (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=23298)
Ender the Xenocide 08-14-04, 10:26 PM	Don't worry about offending, I have the curse of dial up, and I happen to get disconnected about every 30 seconds. That means that when I click the edit button, sometimes it disconnectes me but still brings up an outdated offline version, which I continue to edit. I only just recently noticed this. I put the carrying capacity and how much weight I have next to my move speed, and put how much gold I spent by the items with the total spent and total remaining under the equipement. I am still catching a couple of things missing, (like a list of scrolls I had that disapeared) so let me know if there's still something wrong.
Magagumo 08-14-04, 10:38 PM	@Ender :thumbsup: I'll keep in mind that you have dial-up. As far as I can think, all my concerns where in that PM, so I'll wait till see a final version before I start badgering again :D (Haven't DMed in nearly 3 months and its been 4 since I was in a game, so you'll excuse me if I'm a bit eager to get this started ;). Meh, I suppose i have lots of work for my RL campaign as well, considering it starts in 2 weeks... *begins folding paper clips & recording ideas*)
Magagumo 08-14-04, 10:46 PM	zuh?

Ender the Xenocide 08-14-04, 11:01 PM	double post
Ender the Xenocide 08-14-04, 11:02 PM	I think I've got the bugs worked out. I have alot of gold left, will there be a magic item shop in the towm we're starting in? :angel:
Magagumo 08-14-04, 11:11 PM	I don't know if my "6.5k" rule is being confused, ti only means that you should be able to take any three of your items, add their prices together, and they do not exceed 6500 gp. This is simply to cut down on a player buying only 4 powerful items (which can leave them less than versatile and prevents the abuses of a fully chged Wand of Fireball in a 6th level game ;)) In Zan's case, I presume your Rod is your most expensive item @ 3000 gp, so as long as any two other items don't cost over 3.5k, you're golden. I saw you had a Ring of Protection, and that its gone now.. you're more than welcome to buy it, my friend, as 3k+2k= 5k, which means any other item you own can be up to 1.5k. As I said before, this is only a limit vs. total min/maxing, and you don't seem to be crossing that line right now. Re: posts I'm simply testing and learning how to build battlemaps on the boards :) You'll enjoy Quoting me rather than making them yourselves :) Edit: Other than maybe the confusion re: items, it all looks good :). So just feel free to get some more items with your cash, scribe scrolls, whatever ya feel like :). General Note: I would like to initiate this module by Tuesday/Wednesday 9 PM GST, at the latest. Thusly I encourage Druid & Beldin to get chars posted and Ender and Sindorin to work on Bios. Not trying to be pushy, but I know how much work it will be for us to get this off the ground, and I'm still relatively unbusy at the moment [Classes start in 2 weeks])
Ender the Xenocide 08-14-04, 11:18 PM	I cant find anything I like for under 4,000. 2,000 gold for a +1 to ac doesnt sound that great, but I will prolly be able to pick up one more magic item, then maybe a wand and some scrolls. Just looking through my srd for now.
Ender the Xenocide 08-14-04, 11:40 PM	There, spent all but 1000 gold. I can spend more if you want, but I like to have a little bit to fall back on for emergencies.
Ender the Xenocide 08-15-04, 12:09 AM	Bio is up. I'm not good at writing character historys, so it's rather short.
Sindorin 08-15-04, 12:56 AM	SoKai's bio will be up tomorrow after I finish running my fight for this week, it's gone rather slow thus far... but I do have something in mind.
Sindorin 08-16-04, 09:14 AM	Hmm... so far, two pc's posted... and both are neutral. i love it.
Beldin 08-16-04, 09:22 AM	Working on a human LN cleric/fighter of Wee-Jas now - expect it in the evening
Sindorin 08-16-04, 11:30 AM	yes... another neutral... wheee
Beldin 08-16-04, 12:48 PM	you now - death is neutral! surely you have heard that somewhere here:cool:
Sindorin 08-16-04, 12:58 PM	Yes, my first character on these boards was an evil cleric of wee jas/wizard that I scratched in favor of my evoker, the evil theurge was named 'Sindorin' :)

How did you get here?" „My father, Theon, was a blacksmith some hours away from a small village at crossroads some days to the east of Gladius. I was his his only apprentice. It was a good life – hard work and good money. When we had time my father often tought me how to fight with his favorite weapon – a flail." "What kind of smith was your father?" "We crafted many a Weapon and Armour together; our customer were usually “old” friends of my father – I never liked them, though. They were - strange..." "Where did your father get these strange friends?" "My father was an Adventurer when he was young. There he must have met these. He never talked of great deeds, only of cold stormy days and sleepless nights." "And your father was not ... strange" "Sometimes his past hounted his dreams and he awoke screaming, coated in sweat. He screamed in a language unknown to me, a terrible language. When I asked him once about that he has beaten me. - The only time he did that" "Why have you left him?" "I did not leave him, he left me." "How did that happen?" "One day a when we were at the crossroad’s inn, at old Tom’s funeral feast, my father send me home to collect a letter – he had forgotten to bring along. I never noticed he could write, my father had kept many secrets – but this look on his face compelled me to go, so I left. When I exited the village I saw a strange dark man entering the inn." "Tell me more about that "man" "He wore a black cloak – it seemed as if it wasn’t moving in the wind. And when he looked to me his gaze chilled me to my bones. His was pale... - I newer saw him again." "Hmmm, go on." "Trembling I left. When I returned to the village at nightfall it was silent and empty. No one was there. I searched for some time, but the village was really empty – devoid of life." Then I heard something. A scratching and damping. From the small Shrine of Pelor...behind me. A figure was walking slowly towards me. At first I could not make him out, but it was old Tom – dead old Tom. I was frozen in panic – an undead walking towards me." ""Necromancy... - An Undead, you say. How did you escape?” "When he reached for me I was slow to react – but when I touched him there was a short blaze of white light – then darkness sorounded me." "You endet its misery with positive energy” "Energy? I am no mage! When I awoke it was morning already. Next to me was old Tom, dead this time. I searched again for my father, my friends and the others, but I found no one. No trace of them in the Village and its suroundings. I returned to the smithy, got an armor, a shield and my fathers old flail and went out to find them – with no success. No one had seen them again. After half an year I gave up searching them." "And how did you end up here?" "When I was short on money I worked as a mercanary. I began drinking and was often drunk, lying in the corner of some dirty tavern. That was where you found me yesterday – drunk, dirty with no purpose and nothing save my armor and weapons.” "Do you hear sometimes a melody in your mind? A soft calm wisper?" "...yes, thats why I started drinking. I am getting mad, am I?" "No, you are not. It's the calling. Her calling" "Who calls -" "The Goddess. My Goddess; WEE JAS! Follow me, if you want to learn. Learn about your destiny!" Four years Thynian followed the man, who was a priest of Wee Jas. But when Thynian awoke one morning his master was gone. He only found a letter and a holy smbol of Wee Jas: "Find your father; you have ignored him long enough. Only then your destiny can be fulfilled. We will met again then." [u]Appearance: Thynian wears yust functional clothes, since he is on the road the last 6 years. His armor and shield have no decoration or signs, but they are well cared for. He tries to keep clean, but thats difficult on the road. His clothes are usually dark-grey or black. Thynian is not easily recognizeable as a priest of Wee Jas. But if he is asked he does not deny his goddess Personality: Before he met his "master" he was open minded, fast to anger and wanted to right every wrong he encountered. As long as that had nothing to do with his past, his father encouraged him to do so. He struck to that after his father disappeared, but getting money for wenching and drinking was more important then. That has changed. Now he is much calmer and usually the problems of others are not of his concern. He has grown quiter and calmer. He does not want to know if thats simply because he has grown more adult or if its a subtle manipulation of Wee Jas. He is not fast to make friends, but he has grown accustomed to his companions Relationships: Zan: sokai: storn:
Beldin 08-17-04, 02:40 PM	bio nearly ready. Hope its not too bad
Magagumo 08-17-04, 04:24 PM	I likes it Beldin. A few requests: 1. I know there is no minimum CL on crafting items (aside from having the spell) but for records sake, could you please list crafted Magic items with their CL if not the same as the book? (I.e. Amulet of Health [+2] (CL 3rd) 2. You list having spent 16 points to attain a Wisdom of 14 :), should be 6. 3. Cleric skills: 6, 2, 2, 2, 4, 2, 2, 5, 5= 30 Fighter Skills: 2, 2, 4, 4, 2, 3, 2= 19 I Don't know if I misled you before in my PM, but we have 4 too many fighter skills points here. • +5 Climb [2 ranksB +3 Str] • +5 Jump [2 ranksB +3 Str] • +8 Concentration [6 ranksA +2 Con] • +10 Craft Armor [2 ranksA +4 ranksB +2 Int +2 circumstance] • +10 Craft Weapon [2 ranksA +4 ranksB +2 Int +2 circumstance] • +3 Diplomacy [2 ranksA +1 Cha ] • +6 Heal [4 ranksA +2 Wis] • +6 Jump [2 ranksB +3 Str] • +4 Knowledge History [2 ranksA +2 Int ] • +4 Knowledge Planes [2 ranksA +2 Int] • +7 Knowledge Religion [5 ranksA] • +2 Listen [0 ranks +2 Wis] • +3 Ride [3 ranksB +0 Str] • +2 Spot [0 ranks +2 Wis] • +7 Spellcraft [5 ranksA +2 Wis] • +5 Swim [2 ranksB +3 Str] 3. Make sure your weight carried accounts for your 20+ lbs in coins if you plan on carrying them with you. Otheriwise, feel free to explore the chest & Lock option :). Also, you can conmvert some of your coins to platinum, silver, and copper if you'd like- prob good to have a couple low level coins for ease of expenditure. Otherwise looks good. :) Announcements: Druid, I'd like to know if you're still interested in participating? I'd like to get this going and you haven't posted. If you aren't interested, roll8dn steps in, and I'd like Ashenai to create a character as well. Please let me know via PM or posting here what your plans are, Druid. Also, make sure to check the Sumamry section (2nd post in thsi thread) for important notes. I would like people to add their Dying/Dead scores under their hp, as outlined under "House RUles" in that posting.
Beldin 08-17-04, 04:43 PM	hmm, you told me that I had only spend 11 fighter-skill points, so I added 4 without doublechecking...will correct it should be ok now. any suggestions what to do with the rest of my money? and I need another feat? I can't decide; I want them all!
Sindorin 08-17-04, 04:51 PM	@Beldin - I love the interview! @Magagumo - I added the d/d score for Sokai, lemme know if it is incorrect. Can't wait to get this thing going, like i've said, it's been SO LONG since i've gotten to campaign as a player... i've been DM all summer.
Beldin 08-17-04, 04:53 PM	house rule: what about the poor commoner with a con of 6? 2/-6????? that boy starts at 2 hp @Sindorin: thanks.:) now we need someone for the traps and the hidden "kings sword of haste"
Magagumo 08-17-04, 05:05 PM	For money, Beldin, perhaps scrolls? There's always some nice Cleric spells you may neglect to memorize, and the scrolls can cover that. @Sindorin Yep, your score looks good. I'm hoping to get prelims started tomorrow, we just need to see where we stand with Druid. I'll begin reviweing roll8dn's char. sheet, and I'm hoping Ashenai will make a character as well, just in case. Edit: All things considered, I'm taking roll8dn, Beldin, Sindorin, and Ender as the starting group, with either Druid or Ash taking the 5th char slot. We begin tomorrow guys, I'll create a new thread and copy finalized sheets there. Also, a grand intro will be included, and ground rules laid out. Till then, I will inform you all that for sake of ease, you guys will be started as a group together; you've fought, looted, and otherwise risked your lives and limbs for money and treasure as a team for sometime now. Up to you how you wish to portray this, but if there's anything you guys want me to know (quirks, intergroup dynamics)- post or PM it. :) Also, a title for your party will be needed early in the game, so be prepared to give it when asked.
Jindl 08-17-04, 05:12 PM	@Beldin - Nuetral clerics of Wee Jas channel negative energy (see the PHB). -Jindl
Sindorin 08-17-04, 05:12 PM	@ PC's - I nixed my psicraft ranks in favor of max ranks in spot/listen, just in case we don't have another character drawn up with decent scores there. @Mag - Will there be any need for psicraft in the module?
Beldin 08-17-04, 05:31 PM	Why can't I channel positive energy? Wee Jas is lawful neutral, and I am, too.
Sindorin 08-17-04, 05:32 PM	Originally posted by Magagumo All things considered, I'm taking roll8dn, Beldin, Sindorin, and Ender as the starting group, with either Druid or Ash taking the 5th char slot. We begin tomorrow guys, I'll create a new thread and copy finalized sheets there. Also, a grand intro will be included, and ground rules laid out. Till then, I will inform you all that for sake of ease, you guys will be started as a group together; you've fought, looted, and otherwise risked your lives and limbs for money and treasure as a team for sometime now. Up to you how you wish to portray this, but if there's anything you guys want me to know (quirks, intergroup dynamics)- post or PM it. :) Also, a title for your party will be needed early in the game, so be prepared to give it when asked. SwEeT. @pcs: Group Name? i have no idea what we should call ourselves. @dm: I assume we shall edit from here and then you will re-copy our sheets to your posts of them on the game thread? I've never campaigned online before so I may end up asking several irrational stupid questions.
Magagumo 08-17-04, 05:35 PM	@Sindorin You are correct And it's ok, I've never GM/DMed online before ;) I'm liable to do some stupid things, not just say them :P @Beldin I'm afraid Jindl's correct on this one, as the PHB (and likely SRD) states that all lawful neutral clerics of Wee Jas convert to Inflict, just as all clerics of St. Cuthbert and non-evil followers of Obad-hai convert to Cure. Personally, I think your 2 CLW wands will cover you, but this is your call if you wish to change Deity or alignment (you can convert to cure if your LG, but I'd need an amazing reason to have a LG follower of the Queen of the Dead). Anecdotaly: My current RL campaign group's character is LN and converts to Inflict, but some mem'd spells and many Wands of Curing have seen them clear up to 16th level. And I think Snark has found converting to Inflict to be a nice way of softening up a nasty meleer. Just some thoughts.
Beldin 08-17-04, 06:11 PM	**** I should have read that more clearly. The problem is not healing, it's my background. I thought Wee Jas more interested in keeping the dead dead than making them undead - which would be Nerull's credo, I believe. But thats not likely with negative Energy, is it?
Magagumo 08-17-04, 06:21 PM	Hmm, not likely no. If you're anti-undead, I'd go St. Cuthbert if you want to stick with LN. He's retribution, which could tie in well to the stranger and the dissappearance of your father...
Beldin 08-17-04, 06:31 PM	this HARVESTING here must have confused me;).
roll8dn 08-17-04, 09:08 PM	@ PCs: Names, hmmm... ... ...how about The Laughing Beholder? Maybe, maybe not... @ DM: Cool, so am I going to copy and paste my character sheet, or are you going to do that for each of us? Makes a difference, as doing it twice would probably qualify as a waste of space...
Magagumo 08-17-04, 09:14 PM	I'll copy them when I make the new thread. @roll8dn Character looks good. All I care is that you remember to add +2 to your saves vs. magic for all three types [As long as you rem it applies against Fort & Rex as well, I'm satisfied] Hmm... thrill-seeker (looking for love), disaffected power-monger, Misunderstood priest, and a dwarf looking to establish personal and clan honor. Looking good fellows. Edited in good humour & accuracy
roll8dn 08-17-04, 09:29 PM	Saves have been edited. Thanks for reminding me (haven't played a Dwarf in 3.x yet...sorry).
SnarkHunter 08-17-04, 10:14 PM	I've caught the photoshop itch. So as my own personal way of supporting this fair endevour I will proffer one (1) photoshop of your group banner. Be it a chortling beholder or whatever you wish :):behold:.
Ender the Xenocide 08-17-04, 10:57 PM	And they shall call us... Zan and those other guys! :ayyyy!: Hehe, just kidding. I can't think of a good name, but maybe our banner could have a sword and flail crossed with an explosion in the background that has an eye in the center. (weapons for roll8dn and beldin, explosion for me, and mind's "eye" for sildorin)
Magagumo 08-17-04, 11:46 PM	Hmm.. exploding eye... how very Tolkien ;)
Druid Roxors 08-17-04, 11:50 PM	HAIL ALL!!! I HAVE RETURNED!! Kelek (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=4212918#post4212918) the Vile has returned my soul at last! I will begin with character creation as soon as humanly possible!!
Magagumo 08-17-04, 11:53 PM	*Laughs* Fair enough dude- don't kill yourself I'm starting around 430ish and it of course will take time for prelims. Thanks for sticking with us, and thanks for amusing lines in your recent fight. :D
Sindorin 08-18-04, 12:10 AM	COCO EXPEDITIONARY FORCE!!! (i'm working on a better one) ah... I notice at least two of us so far have [keyword=east] in our bios. How about::::: -=The Eastern Templar=- still thinking of more though.
Beldin 08-18-04, 05:49 AM	Thynian changed a little bit, now he is a bit more priest and a bit less fighter since we have someone who can melee much better. Why not name our group Sokai's Blades, since he is the charismatic guy. The name is simple but everyone would get a good impression of what we are. Of course we could be something like The Dragon's Claws or the Bloody Mummers... working on personality and Thynians view of his companions.
Sindorin 08-18-04, 09:46 AM	Originally posted by Magagumo Hmm... looking for love, disaffected power-monger, undead slayer, and dwarf looking to establish personal and clan honor. Looking good fellows. Hehe, remember, that's not how Sokai will let on. That's a deep down motive. I may RP him to play 'hard to get' if you mess around with that :). He fell too easily and is reluctant to do so again, so it may take some time. The good spirited adventurer is how he really seems.
Druid Roxors 08-18-04, 10:08 AM	Preliminary Character posted (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=4179862#post4179862). Name is not ready, story is not ready, equipment is not ready. Ill try to finish at school :)
Ender the Xenocide 08-18-04, 10:56 AM	Just glancing at her, she should have a +11 bonus to attack with her bow. (+5 base, +4 dex, +1 enhancement, +1 size)
Sindorin 08-18-04, 11:02 AM	i dunno if Mag would let you play neutral evil... he said for us to make characters that were Good or Neutral with Good Leanings... whatever works though, I could see how a Neutral Evil character could get along with a mostly neutral party.
Druid Roxors 08-18-04, 11:04 AM	Yes yes, she is far from finished, I didnt calculate the bow corectly because she is based from another character sheet and her bow is not set yet. Im still thinking about making it magical. About Evil, Yeah, its also from the last character sheet. The original plan was making her True Neutral.
Ender the Xenocide 08-18-04, 11:20 AM	Dropped spell focus and greater spell focus, picked up eschew materials and craft wonderous items. Bought a couple more scrolls, headband of intellect +2, and have some more gold leftover. Should be completely done now.
Druid Roxors 08-18-04, 11:55 AM	My character's Stats are almost ready. I was just thinking about substituting 7 ranks in tumble for 7 ranks in Gather information. Do you think GI will be useful in this campaign?
Sindorin 08-18-04, 12:13 PM	not sure, that's why i've been messing around trying to get ranks up in diplomacy... also, we may think about having you use those tumble ranks to flank opponents early in an encounter. just a thought. GI will probably expediate our progress, though, so by all means go for it I say. While you're dealing with 7's, you may want to check out your 7 foot halfling... :angel:
Druid Roxors 08-18-04, 12:55 PM	I told you she wasn't ready! :P
Magagumo 08-18-04, 01:25 PM	@Ender That's some nice crafting there :) We'll see if we can't make Eschew Materials useful ;) @Druid She seems to be shaping up nicely- Gather Information can be useful in this module, so I leave that decision to you. As long as I can continue to get away with it, here at work ;), I'm going to begin posting prelim stuff for our game on a new thread. At the moment, hold off posting anything until I give the "all-set" signal in this thread. I'll wait to copy-paste Druid's char sheet till he's finished, but that won't be a serious issue. Heh, I'm rather excited to get started :)
Magagumo 08-18-04, 03:11 PM	*Laughs* I occurred to me as I was carefully re-inserting all of Sindorin's colors and bolds... that you guys should be posting your sheets, as you'll be editing them as you gian/lose items and experience ;) (See? First mistake :P) At this point, I have my first basic posts down, so why don't we have you guys post your character sheets up there now (if you're still editing, just throw what you have as a placeholder, and you can finsih it up there). So go ahead guys, get em up there, and I'll post the full background/Introduction around 4:30ish (when I'm in my room and have my materials). We'll start soon after that. Also, do check out the "Guidelines & Basics" post, and PM me if you have questions, etc. Mag
Druid Roxors 08-18-04, 03:56 PM	A preliminary view of Verosast has been Posted (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=4217310#post4217310) Take a look, if you will. :)
Ender the Xenocide 08-18-04, 05:52 PM	I know eschew materials isn't a useful feat, I just thought Zan wouldn't want to carry around bat guano and stuff like that. Maybe I should pick up another metamagic feat... what level do you think we'll get to?
Sindorin 08-18-04, 05:56 PM	I know eschew materials isn't a useful feat, I just thought Zan wouldn't want to carry around bat guano and stuff like that. Maybe I should pick up another metamagic feat... what level do you think we'll get to? The Banewarrens is a module that takes players from sixth level to tenth level.
Magagumo 08-18-04, 06:10 PM	And how do you know that, Sindorin? :D
Druid Roxors 08-18-04, 06:16 PM	HAXXOR!!
Sindorin 08-18-04, 06:33 PM	Originally posted by Magagumo And how do you know that, Sindorin? :D I googled it :angel:
Magagumo 08-18-04, 06:49 PM	Sorry for the delay- writing an intro has taken some time and I'v been giving everyone a chance to get sheets posted (yea.. that's it ;)) I have some prelim intro up if you want something to keep you entertained...
Magagumo 08-18-04, 08:14 PM	Hooray!! If you guys would like to start posting on the adventure thread, go ahead. Feel free to get your RPing joints loosened up with some friendly banter. I'll start the adventure off later this evening or tomorrow. :)
Beldin 08-18-04, 08:40 PM	those standard names like Dragons Claws are usually the best - Of course only if we have slain one (small) already. Then everyone could wear a dragons claw - we would not tell the awed viewers in the taverns that it was only a wyrmling... ok, reading the new thread, posting once and sleep after that 2.40 at night in Germany:cloud9:

Jindl 09-06-04, 08:13 PM	With Ender's departure, it appears the party is without an arcane caster. Is that the sort of character I should bring in? -Jindl
Sindorin 09-06-04, 09:09 PM	Welcome aboard, Jindl! You have a lot of freedom available to decide what to play as... granted, our arcane guy has left... I don't know if you've been following along with the game, but you may notice things that we may be missing that you could cover too. I say do something versatile with an arcane caster...
Beldin 09-07-04, 08:00 AM	I'm sure any charakter you create will be a good addition to our party - do whatever you will help us the most. ;)
Magagumo 09-08-04, 09:15 AM	As you're working on your character, Jindl, don't forget that your three msot expensive items (well, any three items really) cannot cost more than 6.5k altogether. The Circlet of persuasion is well and good, but remember that all the rest of your items may not cost more than 1000 gold each. *nod* Just so you were aware- powers and stats look good, skill points seem to have 73 out of 63 skill pts spent, but I'm sure that's just a work in progress. I'd say you'll want her done by Friday or Saturday so I can approve and integrate her into the group.
Sindorin 09-10-04, 11:28 AM	Quick question while I have time - I know psionics and magic are somewhat interchangeable, but how far does that go? Later on, would Sokai be able to take a level or two in Dragon Disciple? Probably not, but I am just looking around at intersting options... thanks.
Magagumo 09-10-04, 11:50 AM	I'm going to say no to the DRagon DIsciple, as Arcane Magic & Divine Magic are separate, and I'm going to put psionics in a separate category as well (extra spells doesn't equate well to pp after all ;). Perhaps they will one day publish a Psi Dragon Disciple (related to Gem dragons) on the website?
Jindl 09-10-04, 12:07 PM	@Mag - I'm gone until Sunday. I'll make the final adjustements to my PC then. -Jindl
Sindorin 09-10-04, 01:42 PM	I'm going to say no to the DRagon DIsciple, as Arcane Magic & Divine Magic are separate, and I'm going to put psionics in a separate category as well (extra spells doesn't equate well to pp after all ;). Perhaps they will one day publish a Psi Dragon Disciple (related to Gem dragons) on the website? I understand, I figured as much, but it would have been cool, and would have set up the Wilder to be practically a perfect build for the DD. I just figured a bonus spell could mean a bonus power known or something like that, the knowledge arcana could be changed to knowledge psionics... making such a class would be really simple and COOL.
Jindl 09-14-04, 06:54 PM	At this point, Cassandra is ready to enter play, although I will be adding some additional background later.
