If I was going Eldritch Knight, I'd mix in at least 2 levels of Paladin to 8 levels of Eldritch Knight.  Then decide from there.  But for this game, I'm starting Barbarian.

In reply to Korg of Clan Stonebreaker (msg # 159):

Could go Barbarian [archetype] 10/Paladin 2/Eldricth Knight 8 ;). Or barbarian/paladin, as albeit you cannot cast spells but can do raging smites.

I could, but there's not really enough synergy there.  You cut out either Barbarian or Eldritch Knight/Paladin when you start tripping their special abilities.

In reply to Korg of Clan Stonebreaker (msg # 161):

Yeah and overall progression as well ASI wise and get MAD as well (as paladin depends multiple stats to be good). But there's thematic synergy with barbarian (zealot) with paladin (conquest/vengeance).

I like Monk (Drunken Master)/Sorceror (Draconic).  Unarmed attacks, greater amount weaponry, spell versatility that beats Way of the Four Elements (though some of those powers are cool).  And don't forget the AC bonus from having scales.  I have a character with a naked AC of 17.

sorry i've been MIA the last few days....moving house has been a real focus on my time. Good news is i'm done and catching up now

DM hasn't logged in for nearly a week anyway, so no big deal.

My power is on and off so currently not around much.

Did the game just die?

i'm starting to think it did....damn.

Every time I play a warlock! I'm cursed

Well, any game dies if GM disappears.

In reply to Lyesri Shadowforge (msg # 169):

Perhaps you should stop making pacts with great old ones.  *L*

Ugh... you know if the GM does not reappear I can try and pick it up, I still have free game slots.

It's only been two weeks.  Things come up.  When it's two months, then it's time to wonder.

Indeed

They did say that they were a busy individual and it would be posts as often as once a week or so.

Yeah, let's ponder game resurrection by another player after a month or two.

"...As often as..."  Not necessarily every time, though.

Any idea if the DM is okay, or returning?

He hasn’t been in since the 13th of July. I have given up on this game.

I wish everyone good luck in their gaming

Getting on to almost three months without the GM.

Yeah the game definitley dead unfortunately

Yeah, sadly definitely dead by this point.

I thought it dead a while back. Shame - it had potential
