TelinArtho 02-28-08, 02:26 PM	Propose your Mercenary http://caterane.de/CoCo/Struktur/Mercenaries.jpg - For Mercenaries only - This thread is the fuel for the Mercenary Roster because all available Mercenaries (or Mercs) are drawn from this thread. It's simple: you post your idea for a new mercenary here in this thread (by using the Standard Mercenary Sheet below). If your proposal actually makes it onto the Mercenary Roster, you gain two credits. Guidelines to create a Mercenary: You must use the Standard Mercenary Sheet below although slight modifications are acceptable. You might also have to add or substract things depending on the kind of mercenary you are posting. Before you determine the ECL of your mercenary, check the Mercenary Roster if there isn't already a similar mercenary, or already enough mercenaries of that level. This will increase the chances that your build will be picked. Exotic Mercenaries are not forbidden but will be kept at a minimum. Likewise, Mercenaries should be easy to handle so a phrenic ghost pixie has little chance to enter the Merc Roster. Mercenaries must have a personality because this affects their behaviour in a fight. Unlike normal allies, mercs have their own head and might not always comply with the gladiator's plans. Keep the personality description brief and simple though. As said, Mercs have their own head. That's why they do not fight for every gladiator. A noble Paladin might decline offers from non-good PCs while an arrogant wizard snorts at non-spellcasters ...and wants twice his fee from them. There is basically no limit to the requirements but don't exagerate please. You also must include a little background story for the mercenary but refrain from writing a novel. On the other hand, two lines are not much either. Starting Gold: Use Table 4-23 from DMG, p127. No item worth more than 50% of the Starting Gold, and no more expendables (including all items that can be used up, such as ammunition, poison, charged items, etc.) than 10% of the Starting Gold. Mercenaries use 25 point-buy to determine ability scores. Mercenary may only have class allies (except Planar Cohorts and Thralls). The fees for Mercenaries are this. Please note that the Character still suffers XP and Gold penalties for bringing in an ally on top of that! Price to hire a Mercenary ECL Price | ECL Price 1 100 | 10 1933 2 200 | 11 2500 3 300 | 12 3266 4 400 | 13 4333 5 533 | 14 5666 6 666 | 15 7333 7 866 | 16 9333 8 1133 | 17 12000 9 1500 | 18 15666 Mercenary Wealth ECL Gold | ECL Gold 1 900 | 10 16000 2 2000 | 11 21000 3 2500 | 12 27000 4 3300 | 13 35000 5 4300 | 14 45000 6 5600 | 15 59000 7 7200 | 16 77000 8 9400 | 17 100000 9 12000 | 18 130000 Have Fun! :)
TelinArtho 02-28-08, 02:28 PM	Approved Mercenaries: Below is the list of the current approved mercenaries. Note that this links to the Mercenaries of Gladius thread and that the original proposed version might be significantly different than the approved version. As more mercenaries are approved, this list will be broken out by ECL. [ECL 1] Barak Wolfskinner (Human Barbarian 1) [ECL 1] Jazer Ik-Ahaman (Human Druid 1) [ECL 1] Gunnor Thwappen (Forest Gnome Sorcerer 1) [ECL 2] Trillian Tallbow (Elven Fighter 2) [ECL 3] Grauerholz (Gnome Illusionist 3) [ECL 3] Bedina Cassan (Xeph Ex-Barbarian 1/Fighter 2) [ECL 4] Hauber Bulwark (Dwarf Cleric 4) [ECL 5] Simaro Arnerl (Elf Transmuter 5) [ECL 6] Xander (Half-Giant Psiwarrior 5) [ECL 7] Bobo the Brute (Ogre Barbarian 1) Getting a Mercenary Added to the Mercenary Roster The process is simple. Step 1: Person A proposes a mercenary and posts a correct sheet in the "Propose a Mercenary" thread. Step 2: Person B (who is not Person A) reviews the mercenaries available and the mercenaries proposed and finds that a role is not covered that s/he would like to see covered. S/he asks for the mercenary that was proposed by Player A to be added to the Mercenary Roster. Step 3: Elder A (TelinArtho at present) performs a thorough audit on the proposed mercenary. Assuming it passes the audit (with few, if any, changes), Elder A then reviews the role(s) of the character and researches whether they are already covered. Assuming they are not - the mercenary is added to the roster and is available as of the next pairings. Simple process for a simple benefit. In addition to proposing new mercenaries - it may be necessary to replace mercenaries that go unused or that are desired to be replaced. The process here is the same as the above, except that a proposed replacement also needs a proposed removal on the current roster. As questions come up - I will use this post as a summary of those questions.
TelinArtho 02-28-08, 02:29 PM	Proposed Mercenaries: Below is the list of all of the proposed mercenaries, including ones that have already been approved (marked in italics) and ones that are not complete. In order to get more mercenaries approved, please ask for specific mercenaries. Once one is asked for, I will perform a thorough audit (to make sure the mercenary is valid), compare the mercenary to other active mercenaries, and finally make a decision to approve/deny the mercenary. In general, if a mercenary's role is covered within +/- 1 ECL, then the mercenary won't likely be approved. Exceptions will occur at the lower ECLs. Also - if there is enough desire, the same method could be done to suggest a replacement for a currently active mercenary. Replacements should be within +/- 1 ECL of the current mercenary and fulfill the same role but in a significantly different way. As more mercenaries are proposed, I will keep this list up to date as it is needed. I will also find a permanent home for it in the future - just posting it in the tavern for the present time... Lastly, I have noted many of the below as "complete" - no one should take this statement as an indication that I have already performed an audit on the character in question. Many might still have issues - I just noted "complete" when it seemed to me that the character was mostly done.

TelinArtho 02-28-08, 02:30 PM	Standard Mercenary Sheet: You have to comply with this sheet for what concerns all the informations; you may do any other changes, like adding colors, changing the font, and so on but you must keep the requested information. You will find several quotes throughout the sheet. These work like a guideline to the proper use of the Mercenary sheet and creation process. Right-click the quote button below and open in a new window. Now switch back and forth between this sheet where you can read the guidelines and the new window with your Mercenary sheet where you will fill in all information as you go. Layout of your sheet: Delete all that is not needed (eg. spells for a fighter) aswell as the quotes set around the whole text (because of hitting the 'quote' button). Text enclosed in (parenthesis) must be replaced with the appropriate content [example: "(gender+race)" => "male human"]; remove the parenthesis. Keep silvered text silvered as it improves the layout. Lines in Italics are optional and can be used or - if not used - deleted. Finally, please give him a first and a last name, or at least a good distinguishing nickname. Mercenary Requirements Cost to hire: x gold Requirement: xxx (Name of Mercenary) (Gender+Race) (Alignment) (Classes and Levels) Note that the silvered values are the points spent on abilities by using the 25 Point-buy system from the DMG, p169.

The Personality refers to the Mercs behaviour in a fight and goes into the next section below. Also tell us where he comes from (see World of Gladius) Character Personality: <describe personality in fights> Finally, you may give the Mercenary special requirements that player characters need to fulfill to be able to hire the Mercenary. A Paladin Merc may only fight for good-aligned characters, an arrogant wizard might want double his fee from non-spellcasters, and dwarves might give dwarven PCs a discount.

He quickly became the target of many of the local folk for his diversity. Not only he was much bigger than the other childs, but he also manifested a sort of inner mental and arcane power which was frightening the villagers. One day his home was assaulted and his mother was killed in front of his eyes, guilty of giving birth to such a monster. Attacked himself, he managed to flee. A few months later he came back and exterminated the whole village, setting everything on fire after killing each inhabitant. Satisfied for taking his revenge, he travelled all the way up to Gladius, willing to earn some money helping other gladiators. He hates humans. Character Personality: Besh'am likes to fight in two ways: - Mounted on a Phantom Steed - Altered in an Ogre Mage. Either way, he likes to buff himself with Bull's Strenght and True Strike, so he can unleash a powerful attack on his enemy, using his two feats: Deep Impact and Power Attack (for 5) He uses his metamagic rod to extend Phantom Steed or Alter Self, so he can use them in more than 1 fight. He thinks to himself as a warrior, rather than a caster, and he will make his best to always stay in melee, using his Displacement and Mirror Image scrolls to avoid being hit.

For the most part, Illyria's life was spent close to home - but she occasionally journeyed in order to learn the state of the rest of the world - both below the surface and above. Unfortunately, traveling left her homeless - as a fate unknown to her left her homeland barren and the people there consumed and dead. She never knew what had happened until she met an unlikely ally - a sahuagin named Aquin. Since she returned and discovered the destruction, she has endeavored to help Aquin in his own tasks and to hopefully stop the black cloud once and for all. Illyria prefers to fight in watery domains, but when needed, she can be called onto land. Often on land, she will wildshape into appropriate forms for engaging the enemy - but she is not opposed to using the giant octopus form to show the strength of underwater creatures. When not wildshaped - Illyria usually rides on Foudrapide's back, using the Huge creature for protection and intimidation. In arenas that are too small for the huge creature, she'll usually use Reduce Animal in order to improve maneuverability. Illyria doesn't disdain the use of fire - but she certainly doesn't appreciate how fire creatures and clerics abuse water (by boiling it away). What she does disdain is waste. Against opponents who have a history of using excessive (2 or more expendables per fight) amounts of scrolls, potions or other expendables, she will focus her efforts on that individual with priority. Oftentimes, she will even lecture the opponent about recycling. Mercenary provided by TelinArtho.
