Interest check:D&D: Stolen Virginity

[Cosmo_ac]

hmm...i was thinking about making my cleric a human-half giant for his race.  would that work?

[Zaer Darkwail]

Well, half-giants is a race not a template so all look human in appearance (but could have half-elf appearance but still half-giant stats I think) but are generally bit bigger (Expanded Psionics). Cleric is intresting choice for them and they have no drawbacks to go that career (they rather have few good combative traits which may make them scary close combat clerics).

Anycase if sheet must be showed here is mine; http://3edb.com/viewCharacter.asp?cid=14376
(taked two levels in Warblade to get access to few good maneuvers and also very nice stance; Leaping Dragon Stance, via bonus feat. Also mprhic kukri can have intresting applications in sexual situations, like always handy shapeable dildo if I will it morph into blunt peculiar shaped . Anycase tell me do I need spend 10,000gp for Dread Pirate PrC requirement, becuase in my background it is a stolen ship and also I hope you are ok whit my modified ship. It haves less cargo potential than other sailing ship but it is twice as fast.)

Rubyslippers; 10lvl chars start whit 49,000gp. But after checking your sheet I found odd thing. I would advice place 18 stat onto your Int instead Con (after all primary important stat for wizard is Int because it affects so many things). Also placing 16 to Con would be egual good and you lose only +1 from fort saves, -10 HP and -1 concenration checks. Anycase 70 HP is still very impressive amount of HP for wizard :).

[RubySlippers]

Zaer you do your character and I'll do mine I like her stats right where they are. In the order I rolled them. Be fun for role-playing though! 

The only thing I'm left should I be a specialsit Wizard or just a general practitioner?

[WarDragon]

Diviner with necromancy forbidden is a solid choice, Ruby.

Zaer, I think the DM said that Sex is no longer an actual skill, just going to be roleplayed.  And what's the "morphic" weapon ability from?

[RubySlippers]

Actually I'm still up in the air I can drop Illusion I never liked those spells much. But I might take Diviner dropping Illusion or stay a general practitioner. To best use the PrC power of the Spell Pool in the latter case.

[Zaer Darkwail]

Morphic weapon is from Underdark book, I recall it changed the damage type of the weapon (or did it allow the weapon change any sort of similar categorized weapon, in this case I can transform my kukri into dagger, punching dagger, gauntlet or spiked gauntlet because all are one handed light weapons but I think changing it into weapon damage category it would be not big deal) and it was cheap plus I needed a enchament which allows blessed oiled kukri defeat a raksasha (background wise). Of course in any other case I would have picked a different sort of enchament (likely flame or frost).

Ok Ruby, I now udnerstand why the stats are what they are. Feel to go your style then :). I just wondered why you had such high Con but if you rolled so high whit second important stat of wizard and plan go that you take roll to same stat which comes from top to bottom in order then you were lucky :). Anycase my advice is to go to take necromancy as forbidden school also, because there is little to none non-evil and actually that uselfull spells there (expect few instant death spells in very high levels and also ray of enfeeblement is nice spell).

Meanwhile illussions can be very uselfull and adatable, examply Major Image can be used to distract enemy or create cover whit Mirage Arcana (you cannot believe how much I freaked out group of non-true seeing demons by creating celestial citadel filled whit program imaged solars charging at them whit my illussionist while group was chased them. Even after demons discovered all was illussion we still had cover because devils failed will save vs mirage arcana and our groups sneak attackers had party time in sneaking attacking directly trough the walls ).

But then again roleplaying wise picking illussion spells as forbidden school as diviner would create alot roleplaying reason and background why diviner chosed to be diviner. Perhaps she was tricked once long time ago by illussionist villain and she eversince hated illussion magics because she thinks anyone who uses deceiving magic is a crook to core.

But truth to be said there is no true answer should you be illussionist or generall wizard, both have their merits but being divinist haves less penalties than rest specialist wizard so there is very little gap between divinist and generall wizard when comparing other pairings of generall wizard and other speciality wizards. But as question why you have praticed spellcaster feat despite in PrC and in your normal levels as wizard provide full caster levels?

Praticed Spellcaster feat is only uselfull to multiclassed casters like fighter/wizards who want keep their spell power high as possible (so Wizard 6/Fighter 4 whit praticed spellcaster cast spells like 10 caster level caster instead 6 caster level thanks the feat). Also I advice pick leadership feat, if nothing else than get dozen of followers whit cooperative spellcaster feat (they can be your personall apprentices and some can be even sorcerrors) to get full benefit of the cooperative spellcasting feat.

Also thanks pointing out the Sex/Seduction is gone and I will add the missing SP then :).

[WarDragon]

Stats in the order they were rolled.... yikes.  Too hardcore for me, Ruby.

And I think Seduction is still in as a skill, just not Sex.

[RubySlippers]

Necromancy evil? She is a LN wizard and to her view any spell is like a sword its not the sword that is evil or good but the will that wields it- so she creates undead of a minor nature its not evil just a construct created using a spell. Its no different than making a golem or a magic sword to her and making skeletons or zombies. Of course certain clerics may have some problems with it but their small minds can't understand the use of magic is just a tool she is a wise and properly trained wizard why fear her using it?

Oh and the PrC raises the levels of magic whatever the base arcane magic class is so in effect her spell levels as  a Wizard is Level 10, she is still a wizard the PrC raises the wizard spell levels she just doesn't get the CLASS benefits for wizard. So her effective caster level is 14 with practiced spellcaster and that is serious firepower like an extra 4d6 on a Lightning Bolt or a stronger Dispel Magic and in turn makes her spells a little harder to remove. Its actually a very handy feat. Might take it for my character in your game if she becomes a bard or wizard.

BTW Leadership with her Cha 5? Yea I'm going to waste the slot. (Yes it that landed in another stat I would have kept it- but a low Cha is this game is going to be fun to role-play.)

In the game is slavery legal? Indentured servitude?

That's all well and good, but casting spells with the [Evil] descriptor (which includes every undead-creating spell that I can find) pretty much prevents paladins (like my character) from associating with her.

Practiced Spellcaster doesn't work that way.  It can only raise your caster level up to your character level -- it provides no benefit to someone who already has full spellcasting progression.

(Also, lightning bolt and dispel magic both max out at caster level 10th anyway.)

[RubySlippers]

Oh ok. Anyway what the Paladin doesn't know wont hurt me.

And that feat was recommended by someone else the GM, if it doesn't work that way I'll pick another one.

[WarDragon]

Pretty sure my character would side with the paladin on the matter of undead.  Even if they're not evil (which they are, and since Wisdom isn't your dump stat, your wizard is in denial to think so), they're still... unpleasant.  And have no sense of humor at all.

[RubySlippers]

Covers the skeleton with a blanket- what undead? lol

I'm dropping Necromancy by the way in any case. (pouting)

[Zaer Darkwail]

Then if you have free feat then pick leadership then to get spellcasting cohort (quite low level one tough) which in pratical sense is your apprentice which also ahves Cooperated Spellcasting feat so you cna get the benefit of yours also :). Yeh, Cha 5 will be intresting to be roleplayed (nor you get overmuch followers either but then your low Cha could be countered whit great renown or some other misc bonus to leadership). Generosity is good trait to get bit boost to leadership . Seduction is still there? Would not bluff (or diplomacy) apply egually well for such situations? But if that is so then I have to edit my sheet again......

[WarDragon]

Almost forgot.  Might as well post my sheet, too.

[RubySlippers]

I'll try to finish my character by Sunday evening.

[Zakharra]

 I've yet to start one.

Stupid 3e system, can't understand it still... :(

[CaptainErotica]

No rush, You shouldn't need any stats for the first few posts, as it wil lbe mostly settign up, and getting aquainted. Unless someone gets sword happy and starts a barroom brawl or something.  I'm working on a website for the game to store all the information and I also plan on taking what happens and doing a running synopsis of the game in stroy form.  Once the game and site get up and running feel free to make any sugestion on content for the site. Let's get things rolling gamewise first though. Depending how ambitious I feel next week I may even try and do up a tutotial for those of you who have never played with dice and all that.

Thanks again for the interest and wonderful feedback....If things go well I may try something similar with the Star Wars/Star Trek genre. 



This is what the website looksl ike for now...Nothing works as i just started. I'm open for suggestions.

Oh, by the way. i may not be on for a few days. I have filming for a TV show starting tomorrow morning.(Nighttime here right now)

[Zaer Darkwail]

Wow! Cool front page :).

[WarDragon]

Good idea, but the background is a tad distracting; have to highlight the words to read them easily.

Zakharra, I know some people are already working with you, but I'd be more than happy to help you get a handle on d20, as well.

[Zakharra]

 Help I need. The syhstem just doesn't make sense in PC creation. It is NOT user-friendly.

Umh, Liriel, I think you get maximum HD for each level of the barbarian class plus your +4 Con bonus over it. Also why you have marked +5 modifier to Con while it should be +4? Also mark up your raging ability into the place where you had marked rest of the class features .

[Lirliel]

Zaer... you know I suxxor at this So thanks for helping me once again.. next time you design my character *shakes head and sighs*

What.. 160 HP :S... Is that really right? And added the barbarian Rage feat on there

[Zaer Darkwail]

Yeh, that's right I think . But I can give further advice if you plan aim towards to PrC. There are some good barbarian focused PrC like Frenzied Berserker.

[Lirliel]

I dunnae have the books I tell ya! Put there is something like PMing me it offcourse, when you have time :)
