Yeah, that's fine.

Hey all, if possible try and get your updated character sheets posted by Wednesday or so. If you don't have it done by then, that's ok, but we may go ahead and start (which means that if y'all pick a fight, you're gonna be in trouble

)

Hzurr · 11-07-2012, 11:13 AM

So...how's everything looking? Still doing a magic item debate? Torn over what lvl 19 power to take?

Nai_Calus · 11-07-2012, 06:52 PM

Slowly starting to poke at it. Still stuck on feats, haven't touched items at all yet.

Thinking of taking Protective Hex, since I'm going to have to do something to keep Aramil from disabling half my strategy other than ditching Virtuous Strike and its Radiant damage for Ardent Strike so I can overwrite his marks to get my Defender Aura back.

Still won't do anything for shifting, but it'd at least keep a penalty on them, and double penalty for smacking close allies if my aura is still working on what I'm attacking.

(Eltain's build is based around the fact that Defender's Aura isn't a mark and thus works perfectly fine with White Lotus Master Riposte. The idea is to get on something and present a catch-22 between attacking me and getting riposted or attacking someone else/shifting away and taking penalties/damage anyway. Basically trying to up the damage output by way of making doing much of anything a bad idea. Gonna be useless for the most part in the fey war, alas, because eladrin are teleporting bastards, but.)

Asheroth Durant Level 21

As of now Ash knows 7 languages. Common, Draconic, Elven, Supernal, Abyssal, Primordial and Drow Sign Language. Y'know, since we're dealing with everything from the Elemental Chaos to demons to the War in the Feywild now.

Also, I am guessing, Hzurr, that after we meet with Corellon, we will be giving an update on what we did as we achieved level 21 and epic tier. Kind of like we did for the beginning of this part of the adventure. So we should be thinking of a cool story to tell about how we became so freaking awesome!?

Nai_Calus · 11-07-2012, 08:23 PM

I can potentially teleport 7 squares at-will at the cost of not being able to use a shield; or I can teleport 3 squares at-will and keep the shield and even possibly do something about my terrible Fort. Thoughts?

I can take a +4 Incisive Dagger as my L20 item, buy the Frost Longsword and be basically broke. This with the Eladrin Ring of Passage would bump my Ethereal Stride to 7 squares. This has the benefit of allowing for safe ground movement if need be since I actually won't be using Frank much in combat since I can't teleport with him. Sorry Frank. It also precludes using even a light shield, since while yes, technically I can still hold it in my hand while using a light shield, I can't actually wield it to gain the property, and I'm pretty sure duct taping it to a heavy shield doesn't count for that either.

Alternately, I can take a +4 Frost Longsword as my L20 item and use a heavy shield like I have been using, stick with the 3-square teleport and potentially still be broke buying a Paragon Tier Belt of Vim to shore up my utterly pathetic Fort.

Sorry, work has been super busy lately. I'll try to find time to finish updating Pavick. I think I've got powers and feats down. Mostly equipment left, though as I look through that, I might end up making a few other changes too.

You mean like face down an entire fiendish armada & escaped the clutches of an archdevil? That's pretty epic.

At the moment, there's a bit of a time crunch in game-time so I'm not sure how much we can gloss over. However, I'll leave a little bit of awesome room for heroics

I'd say go for teleport distance. Mobility will most likely be more important than perfect defenses.

No worries, just try and get to it when you can. I'm itching to start up epic.

Also, I just got word that my WotC article has been greenlit. I don't have a date for it, but my guess is that some point in the next year you'll see a DDI article with my name on it (and a small reference to someone named "Grandmaster Roslow").

So at this point, We've got Lucan/Ash's PCs done. I've seen the mostly completed version of Aramil & Shep, Pavick & Eltain are in progress, and last night Toric was working on Zyrr, so hopefully we'll have everyone ready before too long.

Toric · 11-07-2012, 09:50 PM

Okay. Here's Zyrr's sheet thus far. The only thing not updated is the items. They shouldn't change stats too much, given that they'll mostly be miscellaneous fun stuff, but due to a recent life development I'm rather busy now and I won't be available for the rest of the week. I'll polish it up as soon as I can.

Nai_Calus · 11-08-2012, 12:09 AM

Don't give the DM ideas to where he suddenly destroys half of Arvandor. Eltain will be sad and his inferiority complex will get worse.

You just want it to be easier to kill me.

Woo! Now get Eltain into a DDi article.

Nai_Calus · 11-08-2012, 01:29 AM

Here, have an Eltain.

Frank is still a mule, silly feat names aside. He's just more awesome now after he fought his way out of the armada by killing devils with his Holy Groin Kicks Of Death.

Totally cool.

I would look forward to reading it anyway, but knowing you've inserted a name-drop for my character makes me really want to see it!

Hzurr · 11-09-2012, 10:20 AM

hey guys,

Just to give everyone a heads up, I'm holding out for at least one more character sheet. I'd like to try and go in with at least 5/7 completely finished.

Nai_Calus · 11-09-2012, 03:09 PM

I know Toric at least is out of town for a funeral, so he's away from being able to work on his sheet right now.

I will crack the whip at everyone else though. ;)

Orsik Vondal · 11-10-2012, 09:50 AM

*Whh-psshh*

Nai_Calus · 11-10-2012, 01:16 PM

*perches on everyone's monitor*

dariathalon · 11-11-2012, 02:33 PM

Here's a new version of Pavick. I'll try to get him committed to a mythweaver's sheet eventually, but it will probably take some time. This next week will be another super busy one at work.

Spoiler

Like Mando, I didn't think much of the low epic items so I made healthy use of your trade down allowances. If you think this is abusive let me know. It sounded like the thing you were worried about was people trading in all their items for a single higher leveled item. I did the opposite. I traded down using the gold for several lower leveled items. His item list looks extremely long, but most of it is rituals worth anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand gp, pretty trivial at this level. 95% of the rituals will probably never come up anyway. I keep getting tons of them since it's something Pavick would do, but he hardly ever ends up actually making use of them.

Also, Pavick will gladly use the Soulguard ritual on any of his allies who can contribute 5000 gp towards it. Can I just assume Pavick has used the ritual on himself already if I spend 5000 of the components he's bought on it? I'm assuming this wouldn't interract with the orb's power if I choose to use that, because from the impression I've gotten my hp doesn't actually change, just my condition.

For those unfamiliar with the ritual, I've spoilered the basic description below.

Spoiler

Nai_Calus · 11-11-2012, 03:06 PM

I thought we could only trade down and get the gp difference for one item? Or can it be multiples? If so there's 20k more Eltain has...

Hzurr · 11-12-2012, 04:28 PM

Ok, no more waiting
