Edit's

Wanted to point out some editing mistakes on my character sheet before someone else called me on them. I started from the first incarnation of this guy, when he was a Scout/Warlock, and the copy/paste of his appearance has some errors. Then I misunderstood the rules for stat generation which gave him some over-the-top skills and saves and I didn't get all of them back to normal human levels before sending what I thought was a finished sheet off.


Fortitude saves vs good effects should be at +2, not 5; and vs poison should be +5, not +4

Climb checks should be at +6, not 10

Spellcraft can just be ignored. I moved the ranks to other skills but I left the text of "Spellcraft = " for no reason I can divine.

And Khetarin isn't a scout this time around, so it shouldn't say leather armor in the physical description. His clothes are gray, yes, but he's not wearing a stitch of armor.


Poorly proofread, and I'm sorry. But I do get to submit this character as my worst job of editing ever! So that's..... good? Bleh.

title

boo for the title of street rat, no matter if it fits or not.

if anyone finds the hobgoblin dead, having been ate by numerous rat swarms, i'd just like to say, i know nothing about it.

by the way, if shield wolf thinks the party needs a or another(if u count the monk/fighter lol) tank a warblade or crusader(tome of battle)/marshal(minatures handbook) would be pretty sweet to run. or a warblade or swordsage/swashbuckler(complete warrior) as long as you were going to use the iron heart,tiger claw,or white raven abilities along with good dex, int, and charisma and or wisdom depending on if you used the warblade or swordsage.

group

i know we all work for the same guild but have we all worked as a group before. I know the drow have grouped before but other than them i don't know if i have worked directly with the other charcters.

in short.. yes

Your particular group has been working together as a team for most of your career within the guild. You've seen a couple changes here and there what with dismissals and deaths over the year or so that you've been here, but for the most part you've all worked with each other at least 6 months if not longer.

start

Game is up, sorry if its not the greatest opener, I was kinda tired when I started it, and still feeling pretty sleep deprived even now. However I set myself a personal goal to get it up and started by today and that is what I intended to do. With the ride being a days time it gives the lot of you a chance to interact and do some roleplaying until I can work up the next update. I'm honestly not sure yet on the pace, I haven't really set myself a goal on that one just yet, but I am thinking once a week unless no one has posted in a while..

Huh.

So as I'm writing my intro post for Khetarin his personality is turning out to be a little different from the way that I had imagined as made up the character sheet. I was expecting his personal life to a lot more materialistic than it is. He's spent all his money on gear to be a better guild member and very little of it on things for himself. He's also got a lot more of a set routine and "you do things this way because this is the way things are done" kind of mind set. I thought he'd be just inside lawful from neutral, but, right now at least, he'd very firmly set in a lawful alignment. If he continues on this path I think I might end up multi-classing the ninja levels with monk. He'd be warlock/ninja and warlock/monk. Too bad the monk and ninja AC bonus don't stack.

yea

The great thing about running a game like this, centered around more of an organization than a group of characters is that when you know what kinda players you have you can cater the missions to their particular style of play or abilities. If we had ended up with more characters that leaned toward good and lawfulness then I could've tweaked to make the missions something more acceptable to the group, like bringing the criminals in alive to serve justice rather than killing them off.

Rule Tweaks

I had mentioned during recruitment that I had some rule tweaks in mind for the way certain things were going to run. So, allow me to explain.

Taking a few tips from the Pathfinder rule set I have decided to make 0 level spells castable an unlimited amount of times per day. This I feel brings standard Sorcerers up to par with the Warlock who can use his Blast a limitless amount of times. This does not mean that those of you who are clerics can just spontaneously cast any orison you want whenever you want though, the spells still must be prepared as normal, but they are not one-shot preparations as they are in 3.5. Your Domain spells however can be spontaneously cast at any time, the way I reason that is that your Domain spells are gifts granted to you by your extreme faith, gifts you should have unlimited access to. I know, this allows for pretty much limitless healing with the use of that dinky 1 point healing spell, but this is meant to be a high power campaign and I will likely throw some challenges at you that you might not normally face as a standard 3rd level character.

I feel no tweaks are really needed for the melee classes or the warlock itself as they have nearly limitless use of their abilities anyways. If I decide that the casters are outclassing the other characters I will consider either reverting to standard 3.5 rules regarding spells, or give the melee types some sort of boost to bring them up to par.

drow

But even a Drow can be convinced to capture a target alive. After all, Drow are well known for their slave trade and use of sleep poisons to immobilize a target with minimal harm.

True enough

If it is necessary or there is more profit in it. However, I don't believe that to be the case here. And, after all, it is the hunt and the challenge Rath wants.

power, unlimited power!

does this mean that i don't have to pick between which domain spell to prepare? do i have access to both unlimited or just unlimited use of the one that is normally prepared? and does that apply to all levels of the domain spells when they become available?

interesting,very interesting.

yes

Yes Drago, I'm (for now) allowing limitless access to either domain spell of all levels. If I decide that is too much power I may limit them to 3/day each or something like that though. Especially since I just noticed that one of your domain spells is Limited Wish. As long as I don't see too much abuse of the power by any of the casters then I'll leave the tweaks as they stand, but if I feel the power is being abused then there will be much DM Smiting to be done.

The god smile upon you and bestow the healing domain to Zau, he no longer has Celerity domain and can not wish for it back lol.
