Default Eldgar, Land of Guilds (OOC)

Welcome to the OOC thread for the Eldgar, Land of Guilds campaign!

Your characters:

PlayerCharacterRaceClass
HearTheRequiemJeanne ChangeourHumanPaladin
LexinMorgunnDwarfCloistered Cleric
Lord HakuraVerdenHalflingMystic Theurge
missmviciousRahne GunthryChangelingRogue
PchubbyMirus BattlebrewDwarfDeepwarden
psiclone57HopeSuccubus-

Some notes:
  1. Could everyone use this thread to designate a color that they will speak in? NPC characters will be speaking in bold. (Internal monologues should be in your color, in quotes, and italicized).
  2. Please post in-character in the third person, present tense (e.g. "Haley moves to the door and searches for traps," not "I search for traps" or "Haley will search for traps").
  3. Roll dice in the IC thread, in a SPOILER tag (any OOC comments that you want to make in the IC thread should also go in a spoiler tag!)
  4. While I did not mention this in the original 16 (apologies!) I've decided I will be rolling initiative for everyone to start out each combat (it makes combat go *much* faster, and it's not as though posting the lone die roll is particularly fun on its own, nor is waiting for a lone holdout!)
  5. If you have minor regrets about your character sheet (feats, skill assignments, even equipment), please let me know early on and I will probably let you change it. You will get increasingly locked in as the game goes on, so don't keep quiet!
  6. If at any time you would like to quit the campaign, please tell me so we can replace you (and say goodbye!). Leaving a game is absolutely acceptable, but disappearing from the forums abruptly, and forcing us all to wait for you until we decide you're not coming back, is not (this has happened to another campaign I am a PC in).

Let me know if you have any questions. I hope you're all as excited as I am!

Hi to everyone accepted!

Morgunn will speak in Blue

Question to DM:
In the end, can Morgunn keep his shield, or should I change that?

To Lord Hakura:

If your character would also buff others and use utility spells then we could share this roles.
Morgunn uses these right now:

Hmm I'll speak in purple, forgive me I get my descriptions and speech colours mixed up though since in my other campaigns I speak in black and describe what I am doing in purple.

A note about the initiative checks also is that my dagger has a warning property so if I am holding it I get a +5 initiative checks. (As seen in the MIC pg 46)

Anyways I am terribly excited, like its actually worked itself into my dreams.

Sure, go ahead and put your speech color in black (it won't confuse anyone between that and NPCs since the rest of the post is in purple).

Glad you're excited!

I have nothing against that, Morgunn traveled a lot so he could meet others at some point... or their parents... or grandparents.


Quick question MissMVicious, I've looked briefly at your char sheet,
You put 15 ranks in Disable Device but nothing in Search, was it meant to be like that?

No, I should probably look at that. It could just be an error from when I transfered it to myth weavers. I am trying to decide who knows if anyone what my race is at the moment.

"Hello, folks. Hope the Succubus will be talkin like this." I imagine her talking with a refined "Southern Belle" type accent. Not a hick -- but y'know.

Anyway, I look forward to playing with you all -- I'm surprised I got in with a monster class character :)

EDIT: ninjad. Erm, verden will take... Orange.
I'm quite happy to share buffing with you, verden is preparing undetectable allignment, extensed greater mage armour and extended protection from arrows each day to buff him self, but I've got pleanty of room foe other stuff. I'll have to work it out once O qork out what spells I have prepared on the 1st day.
Also, admiral. Did you see the modified drow I posted? I was hoping to use that as a racw, as it has a lot more rp potential than being a halfling because they are short (only reason I picked it) my preference is for the modified drow, but I'll happily stay halfling if you'd rather.

You can switch to a drow if you like, but I'd prefer no modified races. (Actually, what are the modifications? I can't see them on the description you posted. And don't drow have a +2 LA?)

I changed the cha +2 to a -2, removed farie fire and dancing lights from spell like abilities, reduced the darkvision, made the saving throw bonus just +2 vs enchantments instead of +2 overall. Removed the weapon poison, removed the secret doorfinder, and added the heavy diplomacy penalties, to reduce the LA to +0 and make it viable to go with Verden in this campaign.

Morgunn would probably know, I am not sure though
If changeling's or succubus's change shape would be detected by detect magic spell, he would've used 'True seeing' but, unless 'Detect Evil' shows anything he wouldn't tell anyone else...

I'm holding off posting IC because verden will react slightly differently if he's a drow not a halfling.

I think by RAW Hope would put out an evil aura still since she is an evil outsider. But I am not 100% on that. Might look it up. My character isn't evil though so she wouldn't set off your detect evil.

I'll have to say no (because of the ban on homebrew). Incidentally I don't think that race would be balanced in any case- you'd have SR 23!

There is lesser drow if you want it for roleplay, but it is not something strong...

There's also the Drow racial progression, so you could just not take levels in it?
It's found here.

I think he wanted the spell resistance

Of course, as a mystic theurge he needs all the levels he has!

Could Spell Resistance not be added to a robe, or something, though?
Or is that pretty bad?

I was looking up what Morgunn's deity was when I found that on the character sheet it says "None"! Is that accurate? I know a cleric can be committed to a "cause," but I really like clerics to each have a deity (for roleplaying value).

If you like I can certainly suggest one for your character. We're playing with the standard D+D pantheon (Boccob, Pelor, St. Cuthbert and so on). Depending on player interest, I would be happy to add either the Olympian pantheon (Greek gods) or the Asgardian pantheon (Norse gods) on top of that.

Ah, I think Milil is from the Forgotten Realms.

If it would still be okay, though, here is everything you'd ever need to know about him and his clergy.

Let me think on that a bit. I'm tempted to suggest you switch to Corellon Larethian, (also an elven god of music), but Correllon is Chaotic Good rather than Neutral Good. (Of course, so is your unicorn )

I can see what you're saying but really, if a Cleric has to be within one step of their deity's alignment, Paladins should too, really.
Plus, a Lawful worshipper of a Chaotic God seems...particularly off, really.

If worshiping the pantheon is OK, then:

Thanks for the invite. Mirus will speak in Sienna.

Other than filling in misc. gear Mirus is complete unless I missed something. I'll finish out the sheet today.

One question, how do we work speaking in a different language? I picture him peppering his conversation with a word here and there that some might not understand. I could just throw in an odd word here and there and add it to a spoiler for those that speak the language. Or ditch the idea if it seems too confusing.
