Note with divine power that the base attack bonus becomes your character level, not your caster level (otherwise it could be nicely abused with some fighter levels and practiced pellcaster)

Any cleric with enough levels to cast Divine Power would be out of his mind to even concider taking Fighter-levels, heh.  :p

Actually, if it were the caster level, I would stack up the caster level bonus stuff like Divine Spellpower and Beads of Karma (Can easily add +10ish at the level around the level you can cast Divine Power) as a straight Cleric and then, DMM: Persist it.

Wow, that would be horribly, horribly broken.  Around level 7, one would get BAB +16...

Re: RoA Community Chat Take 2

my bad :-p I didn't have the book infront of me.  that's why I didn't name the spells.  I believe they are Divine power, and Righteous might, yes?  I seem to remember there's a third spell, forget what it's called, a friend of mine had a cleric of Thor named Thoden that had some elixers that did all three spells when quaffed..it was his digivolving potion..

Re: RoA Community Chat Take 2

Divine Favor is the first level one, gives you a luck bonus to attack rolls and damage rolls 1/three caster levels.

Actually if you look at the cleics attack progression, the attack bonus from divine favor plus BAB is equal to or better than a fighters (except at level 5 only). That's why clerics high enough level should 'always' take persistent spell - divine favor.

Re: RoA Community Chat Take 2

Clerics can get frustrating. Either you use your spells to make yourself a handy combatant; or you save them for healing. Either way, you're going to have people cursing you.

I thought PotC: 3 was good. I can see why people felt let down by it; but nowhere near as much as, say, Spiderman 3 for example.

Re: RoA Community Chat Take 2

Only one of the movies I absolutely cannot wait to see!  Pirates of the Caribbean!  I've asked if I will like it or not.  Since I don't go to places alone, I will not get to see it until it comes out on DVD, even though it's killing me to wait.  But none of my local friends like action/adventure movies like I do.  My girlfriends are "lightweights" as I call them, in that department.  My guyfriends, who would take me, I'm not having a whole lot to do with at the moment until the divorce is final, which hopefully won't take much longer!

So, in short, I drool at each commercial for it that I see while I'll have to wait months to actually see the entire movie.

LOL.  Beat me to it guys :-)

The wife and I went to see it last week but we couldn't get seats together so we gave it a miss.  Definately one I want to catch before it closes though.

Re: Dead PC's?

Are we expecting a sudden and horribly tragic loss of a player's prize anytime sone?

By that line of thought, have many characters died in RoA to date?

I've never had a character die.  But then again, my first character here hasn't even left the tavern yet...

Re: Dead PC's?

I'm asking because usually, if a Player goes AWOL from my game, abandoning their Character, I replace them with another Player to continue on with the adventure if continuity necessitates.  When available, I allow the take-over player to introduce a character of their own.  At that point, I either make the old, abandoned PC an NPC, or I kill them off in a suitably dramatic way that advances the plot.

Well, I just killed one.  No, I'm not joking, and don't call me Shirley.  It's just that I don't know anyone named Ruth.

So do we remember them anywhere?  It might be nice to have a list of fallen heroes - and the names of the Players that went AWOL.

Re: Dead PC's?

Well I have 3 to add if there is one... as I killed them off just recently.

It was of course highly dramatic and their deaths were suitable for heroes, covering the flanks of the active PCs in the wake of surging swarms of undeath.  Their bodies were given tribute in a pyre just after the ultimate goal was accomplished.

It would be appropriate that their names be accorded in some sort of legendary annal of RoA... as I believe at least one or two of the players who originally ran the PCs were in good standing or left on reasonable terms.

I honestly didn't think PC death - even as NPC - happened much here, if at all... so didn't even think to bring it up.

I know of a 'Ruth' so I assume that counts.  It's only when I'm not reminded of her that I'm entirely ruth'less' ~

Re: Dead PC's?

Remembering dead pcs is a good thing. Perhaps a hall of hallowed heroes thread where the dead character name, class and a brief description of death could be listed.

I went last weekend with my 10 year old daughter. I had the POTC2 dvd for xmas and watched it one early evening. My daughter sat spellbound with me whilst my wife fell asleep after an hour and my daughter said then she wanted to see number 3 so off we went.

I really enjoyed the film and considering it is 3 hours long so did she, she only went to the toilet once and for the rest of it she really followed the plot. 8-D

It is likely or cousins. Basically in the contest to see what family would become King/Queen of evermeet, it was the family with the most active and enduring moonblades that could judge the souls of weilders. House Moonflower had 6 and houw Amarillis had 6 but those of Amarillis went inactive in few generations than Moonflower so that Moonflower became the Royal Family. Probably a good thing since Amarillis as moon elf house tends to have lots of wanderers. Symbol of the house is the Green Dolphin. My pc is cousin to head of house (Mother's father was youngest brother to current head of house's father)
