Re: A Thorn In The Hand OOC
@Machuchang: What are you using as your inspiration for your Knight? King Arthur style? RL Medieval England style? GRRM A Song of Ice and Fire style?
Hmmm... I wonder how a Jamie Lannister or Loras Tyrell style Knight would work in D&D.
EDIT: Also what is the correct prefex for a female Knight? Male's are "Sir", but what about Female's?Last edited by Malak'ai; 2012-07-08 at 11:44 PM.

Re: A Thorn In The Hand OOC
@Malak'ai: I thinking of a grittier sort of character, so A Song of Ice and Fire style, but I'm a little unsure of where to go from there.
As for the female version of 'Sir,' I think its 'Lady' or 'Dame.' In my own campaign, I've used 'Ser,' again, straight up jacked from GRRM as a unisex term for knights. But honestly, I have no idea.

Re: A Thorn In The Hand OOC
Ok, pulling a Rule 0 type thing here, in this game female Knights will hense forth being know as "Dame". This title will strictly be reserved for them so no nobles/highborn ladies can't use it, unless they are a Knight of course .
I actually like the idea of a ASoIaF style Knight for this, as long as your not taking Gregor Clegain as your inspiration, never did like The Mountain.Last edited by Malak'ai; 2012-07-09 at 04:42 AM.

Re: A Thorn In The Hand OOC
I can promise you that I will not be a giant, raging sociopath. More the opposite, if anything.
Knights still get low Fort, right?Last edited by Machuchang; 2012-07-09 at 12:56 AM.

Re: A Thorn In The Hand OOC
Unfortunately, yes they do. Have sent you a PM with a couple of things I have changed about the Knight class.

Re: A Thorn In The Hand OOC
Darkwood buckler still gives ACF, you need mithral to negate it.
Malack'ai, you know I'm working from limited sources right now with my computer being effectively dead. Am I correct that Hexblades don't get ACF from shields? I can put Verossa in for a Darkwood buckler, give her a -1 to hit but she can probably afford it.
Enemies.
Olga Foehn-Dastaunce(Aristocrat/Rogue)
SpoilerOlga is the young (two years younger than Verossa) wife of Verossa's father, Emilio Dastaunce. Verossa and Olga have never met. Olga's hostility is largely based on misunderstanding. Bastards and females are eligible for inheritance on Otorin as long as no other options remain. Emilio is ailing after his life of dissipation, the family elders (who have always shown some liking for Verossa anyway) are strong but very grey, Olga's own aristocratic creditials are very dodgy (she is actually the daughter of a local crimelord, the marriage was part of a deal to legitimise the Foehn family at the price of forgiving Emilio's debts) and the idea that there is a martially-capable, charismatic heir option with a reputation for the uncanny (people have spotted Verossa isn't entirely mundane but have no idea how) out there makes her fear greatly for herself and for her infant son. Not knowing Verossa's personality and lack of ambition in that direction, it sounds like a recipe for usurping, murdering, bastard soup.
If Verossa's name keeps popping up in stories from the continent, Olga may very well start hiring assassins first and asking questions afterwards. Note that "Carmine" is a generic bastard surname on Otorin.
Valdmar Speyerslein (Fighter/Bard)
SpoilerA general in the army of High Carrutyer, Valdmar is basically a good man. Who gets drunk with the troops to forget the horrors he goes through every day. Who then cheats at dice, badly and only semi-consciously. Who doesn't like getting called out on it by a woman, and failing the check against intimidation.
This is not a deadly rivalry. Verossa respects Valdmar as a commander. Valdmar is impressed by Verossa as a soldier and an officer. But they avoid being in the same place and Valdmar's position and antipathy is a good reason why Verossa avoided signing up with High Carrutyer again.
Dietmar Fruitknife (Barbarian/Ranger)
SpoilerThe young leader of the Stoned Crows, a barbarian tribe in the employ of the Covenant. Dietmar's youngest brother was cut down by Verossa at Scarletwaters, and Dietmar swore vengence. Or something. Something about Verossa (who is a conspicuous individual on the battlefield or off) makes Dietmar feel very confused. He's not sure if he wants to kill her or marry her and have lots of little Hexbarbs in between paint-stripping marital arguments, but he knows he wants something. He's a simple man not used to emotional complexity.
Verossa, of course, is only vaguely aware he exists, and only as a minor enemy commander at that. It would surprise her a lot to find out that there's anything personal happening.

No, they ignore the ASF from the light armour they wear, but still suffer ASF from any shields they carry.Last edited by Malak'ai; 2012-07-09 at 07:07 AM.

Re: A Thorn In The Hand OOC
Hmmm...Well at the moment she has NO SPELLS. And it's only 5% ACF for a buckler. We'll take it until she can upgrade to mithral.
Also, I just noticed rereading Hold-the-line on Dndtools.eu that the AoO for enemies entering threatened squares doesn't replace the standard one for them leaving. So am I correct in assuming that with a reach weapon she could get 2 AoOs on anyone charging her?Last edited by Marlowe; 2012-07-09 at 01:41 AM.

Re: A Thorn In The Hand OOC
I'll have to read up on Hold the Line, never personally used it so I don't know what it's actually supposed to do.

Re: A Thorn In The Hand OOC
Requires Combat Reflexes and BAB +2. You get AoOs when charging people enter your threatened squares as opposed to just leaving them. Complete Warrior. Same book as Hexblade, which makes things nice and compact.

Re: A Thorn In The Hand OOC
@Marlowe: The way I read it, I see no problems with allowing Hold the Line and Combat Reflexes stack.
@Machuchang: Very nice HP rolls .

Re: A Thorn In The Hand OOC
@D_Man: Looking at your sheet, looks like you rolled a 2 and a 1 for your hp as max first lvl + 6 for 3 levels of Con equals 12 out of your 15.
So seeing as you rolled for all your levels, re-roll the d6 for levels 2 & 3.Last edited by Malak'ai; 2012-07-09 at 02:15 AM.

Re: A Thorn In The Hand OOC
@Malak'a
i WELL THAT'S EVEN WORSE! I think I enjoyed my obliviousness and forgetting the max HP at first level. I hope this is just getting the bad rolls out of the way.
Okay, I'm fine with re-rolling here goes nothing:
(Sperate this time, it seems to work)

Re: A Thorn In The Hand OOC
Here it goes again:

(1d6)[1]

WHAT ARE THE ODDS!!! SERIOUSLY!!!
This is either the dice-roller trolling me, or getting the bad rolls out of the way because it knows I'll need them.Last edited by D_Man_7733; 2012-07-09 at 02:56 AM.

Re: A Thorn In The Hand OOC
I know exactly how you feel D_Man, the dice roller always punks me when I'm rolling stats, I can never get anything over a 15, thats then normally it's a bunch of 11 and 12's.

Re: A Thorn In The Hand OOC
If it is consistent, it might be able to work out, it just requires careful race and feet selection, but still difficult. I rolled up a character once IRL and all three sets of rolls resulted in nothing over 13 or one that consisted majorly of 10s and a 17... for a party tank and Close Quarter person, my only high skill was strength... and no con modifier . I was not amused and expected my character to die really early (and wanted him to for a while).

Re: A Thorn In The Hand OOC
Isn't the Darkwood Buckler equivilent to a light wooden shield except for the Armour Check Penalty? Unless I'm Reading it wrong.

Re: A Thorn In The Hand OOC
It's the equivilant of a Masterwork buckler but only weighs half as much as normal, also costs less if I remember rightly (have only just woken up).
