not necessary to use a roller I can check, I'll take your word for it.

I use a system to add chance and variety, I mostly care about what makes sense for the characters and the story. If you plan on fudging a roll, tell me why and the original result. If you plan on fudging all your rolls, then don't bother joining a system game to begin with.

------
Aureana- so far so good.  Try to find a picture, helps me separate her from the player.

------
Ironwolf- I generally find the 'pathguy' character generators help smooth the process.

I am disappoinment width you're grammer.

Sethala

Fair enough, though I already used the forum roller.

If you don't mind though, I'm going to reroll the 1 and 2 I got for hit dice (on a d12).

Also, can you give me a ballpark figure for how much gold I should spend on equipment?

BigBuckBob

Certainly.

And let's say 40k.

Alright, I'm done picking my maneuvers and stances.  Tomorrow, I'll find some magic items.

If anyone's got some suggestions for what I should/shouldn't get for maneuvers, though, let me know.

ofDelusions

Iron heart surge is always awesome. Even if it is worded REALLY badly.

I am pretty sure I am going for beguiler unless someone else makes a skillmonkey. In which case I am still undecided.

Sethala

Hm, that would probably be useful.  I don't think I'll keep it in my readied maneuvers, but I do have the Adaptive Style feat, so I can spend a full-round action to change and recharge my readied maneuvers.

Also, are there any feats that let me use a large-size weapon without penalties?

Sethala

Finally found a picture for myself:

Alright, I still want  some additional female interest, but I think we have a decent party in the works.

Here is the opening post. https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=110790.msg4810403#msg4810403

Infatetress' character will be the force that brought the team together. So between her tale of lost sisters, her looks, or the fact that she knows the location of the lost tomb of acerack,  i'm sure you can all come up with reasons for joining the party.

So we need to figure out why our characters are all headed to the Tomb together, Any suggestions on how/why your character is interested in the Tomb?  Siddra has to go to get some answers. 

ofDelusions

I was thinking of making an unarmed swordsage (think fairly supernatural monk, perhaps a handmaiden or bodyguard to Siddra or some another char?) but it seems that we REALLy need someone with ways to find to traps (this is still tomb of horrors after all..) so I am still a bit undecided.

And yes, my choice of class changes a lot during character making.

inflatetress

Delusions- you should be whatever class you think you'd have the most fun playing.  If BBB decides we really need someone for traps he'll reopen the thread to new players (probably?).  But if you don't like your class then you won't have fun so just pick whatever is calling out to you, at least that's what I say!

As for her job, Siddra wouldn't have a handmaiden, and in a sense all of the characters will be her body guard as basically she has been sent on a mission by her Sisterhood to the Tomb.  She needs to find people to go with her or people that just happen to be going that she can tag along with as the Sisterhood is made up only of seductresses, no body guards or anything like that.

So the way I see it, all of the other PCs could know each other and be planing to go to the Tomb to extract some of it's treasures to which Siddra tags along.  Or, Siddra has to convince a bunch of adventurers to take her to the Tomb. Or some combination of those two ideas.

ofDelusions

Heh, you are right. Unarmed Swordsage it is!

inflatetress

Cool!  I have no idea what that is though.  ???

Is there still room in this?

I'm interested in playing a male binder who wants to learn more about the Tomb's creator.  Incidentally, the Tomb's creator is a powerful demon that binders can bind.

So, more newbie questions...

Mithral armor is one weight category lighter, and has 3 less armor check penalty.  Does this change to the armor check penalty stack with the bonus from being masterwork, so a masterwork mithral armor has an armor check penalty of 4 less?  And, does the change in weight category also change what the move speed penalty is (i.e. normally breastplate is medium armor and gives a speed of 20ft, does mithral breastplate give a speed of 30ft since it counts as light armor?)

I might change my mithral chain shirt to a breastplate, depending on if I'm understanding these rules properly, but otherwise I'm done with equipment.

I would still like to know if there's a feat or something that will let me use a Large-size weapon without penalty, though.  (My character's fighting style involves jumping at/over an enemy and attacking them from the air.  Doing so with a sword bigger than she is would just be awesome.)

ofDelusions

Quote from SRD

"Most mithral armors are one category lighter than normal for purposes of movement and other limitations." So yes

And I think the decreases of armour check penalties would stack as well.

About Large sword. I think there is a feat for that somewhere. Don't remember where though.

Pffft, Tvtropes has already ruined my grammer, my childhood and my life.

STILL undecided about class after I ran into few problems with making that Swordsage. I promise I will have character sheet up in next 24 hours though!

My character will be Beguiler1/Wizard4/Ultimate magus 4. Only things left to go are skills, items and trying to find something to trade that familiar for or dump it all together.

Instead of a binder, I think I will probably go with a Factotum 8/Chameleon 1.  Please let me know if there is still room in this campaign.
