I purposely try to avoid breaking the game when I play. I'm old enough to not want all the attention and am very aware that its not supposed to be all about a single player anyway. Everyone is here to have fun.

Triple Wand Claws!

In reply to Candidus Sanctus (msg # 22):

Just a heads up, and a slight mea culpa on my part, when I approved your concept I did not do the mental math necessary to see if a DMM cleric and a saint template were actually possible feats wise (although a DMM cleric is at minimum a cleric with the DMM feat, so that is something), you'll still need to follow the rules on your finalized character sheet.

Still reading the rest of this thread....

I don't think there is anything else urgent I am ignoring, ping me if I am.

Poppy has stepped out of the game.  If anyone has any issues with anything, please reach out to me here or in PM.  I do want everyone to have fun and if you aren't or think you won't, let me know so I can try to resolve it.

EDIT: I'm also reading and responding to PMs right now, so if you PM'd me I'm typing away right now.

Sent a PM. I don't want to be a problem here but I'm at the end of the build. It may be easier to make a new character rather than try and rework the one I've got.

A bit late to the party but I'm sad to see someone leave. Issac is a binder so he'll have some neat tricks but I doubt he'll be optimized.

DM can you go ahead and unlock our character sheets? I'd like to get started writing things down.

In reply to Scholar Issac Castelot (msg # 48):

Sorry! Like I said, I'm new to rpol.  Let me try to figure out how to do that.

In reply to Scholar Issac Castelot (msg # 48):

Everyone should be able to edit their character sheets now, please let me know if you can't.

No problem. If you need help setting something up feel free to ask here or in a PM. Rpol has a couple of cool features. You can do things like setting up languages and creating groups so that only certain players can see certain threads.

In reply to Scholar Issac Castelot (msg # 51):

That is a cool feature.  That's actually how I planned up starting most everyone up as a solo adventure.

All caught up on my PMs.  Let me know if I missed anything.

Can anyone let me know if they see more than 1 "Private OOC" thread? You should only see 1.

Yep, you've got it set up correctly.

In reply to Annette Pixie McLean (msg # 55):

Cool. And you and Lev will share a private OOC because you will start together.

I'm gravy.

And I'm actually familiar with Binders - Shadow Magic was cool, if a bit on the rigid side and more complex to explain then to use. Truenamers were actually broken in two directions - unplayable at the mid game unless built very specifically, but busted in the other way the moment they can create infinite Gates. Binders were probably the most cohesively designed.

I would say you can bust a Binder, but you have to be pretty specific in building them. Zceryll is probably the only one that is potentially OP, but that's 11th level at the earliest as far as I can tell. Even if you take that one, though, you won't be more dangerous than a Sorcerer, unless you built around that, and then we are going back to "specifically built to break the game."

I'll be blunt - if all that is put in front of Lev are challenges that can be solved with "LEV SMASH!", then Lev'at'an is busted as hell. I didn't take Hulking Hurler because I do possess some lingering humanity in the bitter shell that is my heart, but I have taken a prestige class that is often invoked in the same sentence as the Hurler. War Hulk is basically Cancer Mage if someone tried to balance the latter.

Okay so I'll be playing as a straight human it seems. Solves any issues and my character now works RAW. I do wish Poppy hadn't left in such a huff but it can't be helped. So now I'm a Cloistered Cleric 6/ Radiant Servant of Pelor 4. Makes me a tad better at healing.

Do we have a trapfinder? Do we anticipate there being traps? As an artificer I could be pretty good at it but I really want the skills in other things...

We could always just buy a bag of tricks and throw small furry animals at traps.

One could, in a pinch, put Lev in it and see if it goes off.

10 foot poles and throwing things should suffice for most traps.

In reply to Annette Pixie McLean (msg # 59):

If you invest in trapfinding you will not find it unused during the campaign.

And yes, 10 foot poles, summons, animals, and hirelings are always useful.

Sounds to me like we really need a trapfinder. Alright, your fabulous couturier who dabbles in weapon and armor smithing is now an expert trapper to boot. Who'd have thunk it? And, of course, I'm maxed out on K: The Planes. As a couturier in the most famous and important city in the entire multiverse, it is my business to know the needs of all my outsider customers!

In reply to Lev'at'an (msg # 57):

Yeah Tome of Magic was an odd book. It basically felt like they had 3 different subsystems which weren't big enough to be stand alone books so they just smashed them together and called it a day. Each subsection even has it's own bestiary and sample adventure. Some of these sections were obviously more polished than others which baffles me.

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 63):

Hmmm, well that's slightly concerning lol. Issac isn't great with traps so hopefully some 10 foot poles will be enough. I could probably find an item to help but frankly I'm done looking at items. I've forgotten how much stuff you can buy as a mid to high level character.

Lev is officially the Maid Guy. I'm not as skilled, unfortunately.

I want to just say that there will be opportunities to buy mundane and most low level magical gear once you are on Kamoras, so don't fret your equipment too much right now if you are unsure.  You won't have to go long without what you need if you find that you need it.
