*makes a note to get a continuous item of Protection from Chaos at the earliest available opportunity* :P

Interestingly, given that Antimony's heritage lies on one of the other sides in the Blood War from Vlosin, I'm expecting there to be some definite enmity between the two characters when they interact.  Some... tension, and so on. ;)

The bolded statement is not right really; it lets you use Cha instead of wis for mind-affecting spells only! that's the only way it makes sense.

*gives bonus virtual cookies for Snake using proper pic for argument*

Well, tell me what will save based effect is not a mind-affecting? There is ofc fear spells and stuff but each fear is listed also it's mind-affecting ability/effect.

The first spell that springs to mind is the save to avoid becoming mindless on Baleful Polymorph.  Then there's Holy Smite, Holy Word, Trap the Soul...  And who knows what else there might be outside of core?

Zaer Darkwail

Oh yeah, also teleport spell asks will save if your unwilling to it. Point taken :P. But there are feats which replace Int with Dex for reflex saves in same book so it's not that there is not save stat changing feats.

Krayz

Arguing from a biased perspective, the concept of the feat is that you use the strength of your personality, rather than your intellectualism, to overcome the influence.

You could arguably do the same thing with an unwilling teleport, or to hold on to yourself when your form has been changed against your will.

Krayz

And, just to have started an argument I now make a moot point, I've traded in my Force of Personality feat for Weapon Proficiency (scourge).

Because the Scourge of Pain is just way too cool a weapon for an incubus to pass up.

Zaer Darkwail

Yeah, overall as I do not want check each spell do their effects count mind-affecting or not I just labelled as house rule force of personality as feat which replaces Wis with Cha in will save mod (as original does not stack with wisdom anyway). A far easier and less book work.

Rofl, moot point indeed Krayz  ;D. But I wonder why players complain when I change a nice feat to more nicer actually :P.

Because they don't have the feat, or a +11 charisma modifier to make it epic, Zaer :P

Zaer Darkwail

Heh, true. With +11 bonus besides base you would had got unbeatable will save in these levels :P.

Had to answer this, forgive the double-posting please >_<

*makes sure to stack the confrontation well enough that no amount of protection will save her*

Hey, tension just means a tighter fit >;D

Btw, I think you need to edit your character sheet a little, Kun. You left a bunch of stuff from your old Blood of Sibreys sorcerer plan, I think.

@Zaer: Pretty much ^_^ Considering outsiders get good saves for everything... It made all my good saves look like bad saves xD

Zaer Darkwail

One reason why succubus paladins or hexblades got insane saves which punts everyone down :P.

ofDelusions

All those who keep spamming refresh and can't wait for this game to start say "Aye!"


Krayz

"Aye!"

By the way, Zaer, in the description of spellfire, it says that it can absorb spells. Does that include spell-like abilities?

PeaceTharPowerBrings and I have talked and her character is now house Archwinter's first daughter. By adopting an female arachnomancer Qos Jabbress Archwinter feels she may be a less subversive choice then a priestess. A sorceress' powers are inborn and more a 'gift' then a choice to enter a male controlled field, and an arachnomancer does have a degree of prestige. The Archwinter matron has only been matriarch for a less then a decade and since he had to kill a lot of his close relatives to get his position he doesn't want to execute his own daughters, adopted or otherwise, for failing to assassinate him. The bitch is certainly proud enough to assume that any attempt will fail.


That's the IC reason, OOC of course is she asked to join my house and I happily accepted.

Micar's got some fun in what way? If you intend to have him "play" with the daughter remember the matron is a powerful diviner and doesn't like to share.

Never underestimate a powerful sorceress. 8-)

Really?  I'm pretty sure I got everything.  What did I leave on my sheet?

My mistake. Most people divided their level section between their classes, so when I saw "Metamagic Specialist Sorcerer" and a 14 below, I assumed it was your only class, lol.

Aye.

But in the description it says basically anything that makes use of Mystra's Weave.

Ah.  Yeah, I'm a Sorcerer 5/Fiend-Blooded 8/Escalation Mage 1, and that's pretty much been my full build the whole time.
