Hello how are you guys! It’s great to be back. I sincerely apologize for my sudden absence. I got really really sick and was stuck in the hospital for weeks.

I can play Allegro or a single class fighter. Allegro’s character sheet is still on my cell and I have a drawn up 4th level fighter too. I’ll play whichever one (I prefer the bard).

Thanks for letting me back in I appreciate it.

No. Restarting. Already deleleted past posts.

Up to you Allegro.

Waiting with baited breath to see who is joining up or what Big  A decides!!!

If interested in another game I run, drop me a PM. Got quite a few. Thanks!

Been tempted to ask about your star wars game.

I will know more about my time in the new year...

The Jedi Temple is going to be attacked by Anakin and the clones, slaying everyone they meet but most importantly the Jedi. The group has no clue the temple is going to be attacked. The group will need to find a way out of the temple and escape, and find a way to leave Corusant without being found.

This takes place near the end of Revenge of the Sith.

Hey this is great timing...
The only way I could see fitting into that would be making sure that some escaped to keep things going, so that the Empire not turn it's full attention to other "enemies"...or to finding new threats/enemies to turn their attention to.

I had always thought if there were a group/race positioned to "help" (aware of and in place) many Jedi escape and a really good "reason" to do so, it would have been the Anzat....

I have always wanted to play a not so good character, say a scoundrel.

They may try to get out of the temple and escape. May not.

The Jedi are the main enemies. Heck the Emperor has his hands on most of the planets and they accept it-later on some out of fear. Thats why the Empire was strong-they had no enemies besides the Resistance and even that wasn't a main enemy until later on.

No one knew of the attack so how can anyone be prepared for it? Bale Organa went to the temple unaware of what happened and saw a padawan shot down hence why he barely got away. Yoda an Obi-Wan arrived -after- the attack. Most of the Jedi Order were elsewhere and killed off before realizing what happened. It was swift, bloody and deadly to most Jedi. If the clones were not 'programmed' and the Jed were ready for it-it definatly would have had a different outcome.

Say Mace killed Palpatine. Big difference.

Bale formed the Resistance some time later but needed time to get it prepared, figuring out who should be involved, ect. It takes time.

I know I am suggesting something way outside of accepted truth...
Think about it a bit and see if the idea bears any fruit for you?
If not, I can think a bit more about it....

Anyways.

Hopefully we well get more people. Not sure what Allegro will make but anything works and I can re-work  Hiss if needbe if I have a NPC join. Might just do a cleric or a favored soul (shrugs)

Merry Christmas to me!

Got one heck of a bonus and I got a raise!

In reply to Dungeonmaster (msg # 15):
Congratulations and well done.

Awesomeness!

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Years!

Back to work. Oh c*** lol.

Work....yes it is that thing we do.

Think this game might be dead. I'll give it more time though.

Say it is not so....

Someone will join you’ll see. Hopefully.

It is a new year, so there are likely people looking to join!

welcome to the game dwarf cleric!

Hello Everyone. Glad to get back into a 3.5 game.  I will be seeing to your health and wellbeing. I am a little rusty but am sure it will all come back to me.

Welcome Barwin Stonefist!

Indeed!  Welcome, welcome, welcome....

So what has gone before?  Two fighters and a Rogue.  Were there any others?  Do we not have a Wizard of some kind?

Not yet. I'm going to play a NPC.

We got:
Elf Duskblade (Meless/Magic)
Human Bard (Arcane/Healer)
Dwarf Cleric (Healer/Melee prob)

You have me!
One duskblade.....I use a polearm and spiked gauntlets

I can definately go melee.  Could tweet a domain and god and go War if we need more tank.

My character sheet is finished.

I would describe Allegro as arcane/buffer but not healing. Glad we have a cleric for that.

Hey always nice to see a real heavy hitter on our side!

In reply to Barwin Stonefist (msg # 34):

Yeah I wouldn’t mind a tanky cleric on our team!

So what does the group need the most?

In reply to Dungeonmaster (msg # 38):

I think we would be well rounded with an arcane caster specifically a wizard or sorcerer.

We have:
 - Duskblade: melee and part time arcane
 - Bard: arcane buffer/part time melee
 - Cleric: healer/tank
 - Rogue: full time sneak

Imho, full time arcane caster or warrior type, in that order of preference.

I agree Fighter or Paladin and definately full time Arcane.  Wizard or Sorcerer.

Well between the cleric and duskblade not sure if we need another warrior. Could be good.

Actually the rogue might change to something else. Depends on what we need. And I thnk the last time I played it everyone 'hated it' because I had it had a personality and didn't always do what the group wanted lol

Decided to try and run a free form X-Men game if interested:
link to another game

Hiss had a very strong personality and quite frankly the players were all afraid of her LOL!

Hiss didn't like what the group was doing, and didn't like MW because he kept making enemies of people of the town and no one bothered him about it.  Plus with the old cleric dying, and with her liking her yea. Probably played it off as being too strong but the halfling didn't like her for OOC reasons (which he was banned). I also feel like when I make a NPC everyone finds reasons to not like them when they are there to help :) If I make a NPC for the group they have a personality not someone that does whatever they want without question. I've had other PCs in other games ordering them around because they are "NPC" but that doesn't exist ICly!

MW is smart so I don't get why he did dumb things :) Like joking with people he just met and expect them to get it. Nothing against you MW.

My ears were burning I thought someone was talking about me.

I am just glad we have a bard to make nice with the towns folk.....since it is not my cup of tea (I drink coffee)

hoping to get at least 1 other person and I can design the NPC then.

Think we got melee covered. So we need some sort of ranged, a more focused arcane though we got 2 but some things are left out and a rogue type. Course could do a ranged rogue or vice versa.

One month and no new people :(

Let me see if anyone from my old D&D group would be interested. It's worth a shot.

Oh cool thanks.

Yeah been looking for a rogue type or a arcane-type (wizard, sorcerer) mainly. Course we got a daskbblade and a bard but think we need more of a focused caster.

Hopefully we can get a group of people to round out the party.

Everyone gains: +1 Attribute

Happy B-day.

Have a great one!

Happy Birthday!! :)

Think we might be okay arcane-wise but could use another. Maybe a druid. So yeah think we need a rogue type and a range-type. Lost of stuff. Hmm.

And thanks for the b-day wishes.

Quick question-other then the cleric, would anyone like to change their classes? Don't have to of course.

In reply to Dungeonmaster (msg # 56):

I can change to fighter or some other warrior class.

Ha! Just give me a dumb fighter follower
perhaps Leeroy Jenkins....

....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=km5FAAQLUT8

Umm. No. Leroy was a Paladin, actually. Not a fighter.

Leeroy Ratchet is a fighter  for sure....lol

*uses jedi mind trick* You want to change your class to a wizard MW.

Oh now a wizard...I could likely make some sort of wizard....
Would the UA variants be on the table for wizarding?

Depends on what you want to play? Getting curious with MW is probably a bad thing but why not lol.

Word of the wise-dom't make a comment to a NPC expecting everyone to get it. They won't and everyone will hate you but the party :)

Or a rogue.

If Allegro makes a warrior type (Say a fighter, doesn't have to be), we got a cleric and if you make either a wizard (or sorcerer or something similar) I can do the rogue. Or vice versa.
This message was last edited by the GM at 15:47, Thu 14 Mar.

Allegro, what type of warruor would you want to make?

1. Fighter
2. Paladin
3. Barbarian
4. Ranger
5. Swashbuckler
6. Samurai (Ooriental Adventures only)

https://dnd.arkalseif.info/cla...in-wizard/index.html

The domain wizard is from UA....see the link above
Probably either conjuration or transmutation....

The other thing from UA is allowing me to give up scribe scroll for something useful like improved initiative

Your a wizard not a cleric lol.

Getting the spells automatically is a pain for me haha.

Persoanlly I really hate Conjurations. Trans can be interesting. Course could just go with a generalist. Or if you want to specialize, go for Master Specialis.

Tinker Gnome Wizard! lol

https://srd.dndtools.org/srd/races/racesDlance.html

Fighter is my first choice.

So I could do transmutation, is getting the spells automatically an absolute no go, or just a small pain (that you can endure)?

I do not see any reason to change races, though there are some interesting ones out there

Honestly I'd go with Grey Elf.
+2 Dex, +2 Int, -2 Con, -2 Str.
All else is the same as Elves.

Well it depends on the spell. It depends on where the group goes. If say your underground and you level you don't get the spell until you find it. If your in a town and you level, sure. Probably find someone you can get it from or using the knowledge from other spells you get it.

Keep in mind by specializing you lose quiet a bit. Transmutation you get more from but you happen to lose all abilites from 2 schools like Necromancy and Abjuration (randome ones)

Master Specialist (There's others of course)
https://dndtools.net/classes/m...ist/#google_vignette

I assume making a drow wizard is a bridge too far?  lol

Seeing as most are viewed as evil and it has a +2 or +3 (maybe +4) LA without hit diced-yes.

I think the drow of the underdark one was a +2 LA
Which would of course make a second level wizard,

Of course I would have so much fun
Feats to start
Magic in the blood (regional feat)
Then Gift of the Spider Queen (also from the drow of the underdark supplement)

Well either way I don't think it fits this game to be honest. Plus you won't have great saves, lower HP, and you get spell resistance which is a big thing.

You want the group to hate you worse? :)

And I don't think the dwarf would want to travel with a drow.

Tinker gnome sounds like the way to go....
Mini-Mage!


I can see it now....

Ok:
So we got now-
Tinker Gnome Wizard (MW)
Human Fighter (Allegro)
Dwarf Cleric

So all we need now is a rogue.

I am thinking about just going straight wizard, although the specialists look interesting, I think staying versatile makes the most sense....
Along with focus in alchemy.....


Fizzban might be a good first name
(Fizzban the Fabulous) a nickname
Timbers seems like a good last name

I could also see it as Fizzband Timbers

Which also describes one of my professions cooper, a mix of carpentry and blacksmithing to make barrels (and buckets)

Yeah don't pick cooper please. Its not on the list so won't get any bonuses or whatnot. Alchemy is a bit of a waste unless you got the right gear and whatever you make doesn't take a long time. Alchemy does have some different uses. Plus the profession isn't 'affected' by alchemy. Unless your a alchemist. And your not a artificer (nor am I allowing them).

Ok:
So we got now-
Tinker Gnome Wizard (MW)-Name Changed/Class changed
Human Fighter (Allegro)-Wiating on Allegro
Dwarf Cleric

So all we need now is a rogue.

In reply to Dungeonmaster (msg # 78):

Hey no worries I was just going to use it in background and talking (roleplay) not really planning to allocate into "profession: cooper"....

Just to check on some ideas I was having in terms of feats
not sure how you feel about things like:
Celestial familiar
Arcane Disciple

Updated profile pic and bio tags
This message was last edited by the player at 22:00, Sat 16 Mar.

Celestiral Familar is fine. but normally I won't target a familiar. Arcane Disiple isn't good for a Wizard. You can get a lot of spells. Its better for say a Duskblade or say a Hexblade. Even a spellthief. Something with limited access. Maybe a bard.

Acidic splatter feat looks like something useful to give me something to do round to round....

Yeah. If you got a level 2 acid spell, using acid splatter provides 10' of ranged and 2d6 damage. Range is a bit sucky but its something.

So for the record are we doing the character changes? I should start the fighter character sheet?

Yes please if you don't mind :)

So Human Fighter or another race?

Or if you want I can change the RTJ looking for either a rogue type or a warrior type.

Could re-use Hiss but eh.

Human fighter is perfect.

Whats a odd race for a rogue other then tibbit?

Course grey elf and desert halfling are interesting. We got a dwarf, human and gnome.

then an elf or halfling...or one of each or a combination "halflef"

Hey, just wanted to check in and see where everyone is in the revamping process...

I am nearly ready.

Working on my desert halfling rogue. Pretty simple.

Dwarf Cleric is set. Let's ride in the wagon lol
-What is the 'Focus' on your weapon?

The fFghter: Unknown
-BTW: Price of the weapon plus Masterwork (Think its 150 for armor, 300 for weapons) plus 2000 for a +1.

Also make sure to list all of what you get for your level, class, ect.

In reply to Dungeonmaster (msg # 92):

I have that weapon listed at 2,315 gp's.

As for the rest, will do.

Yeah just letting everyone know.

I had some details I wanted to see if were or are acceptable.

The tinker gnome's life quest (although apparently they can have more than one).  Since I  am also into alchemy "big time" I  am wanting to write a definitive alchemy guide or book, I am assuming that I "know" how to make everything I  have listed  in my crafted alchemy stuff section, but wanted to  make sure we could add new things along the way.


I have selected spells and I think I have sourced (cited) all non-player handbook spells......



Looking forward to meeting/playing with everyone!!!!!!

Let me know when the characters are finished. Thanks.

Do I need a donkey or pack mule?
Riding dog seems kind of odd to me
I do not want to slow everyone down…

The dwarf has a wagon. Riding Dog is good. Can't use it as a pack animal. Even the halfling has a 20' move. Why is a riding dog odd?

It makes me laugh.....

Alright so I will go for a riding dog, I will name him "moose" and my bird familiar I will call "goose"
So together they are "moose and goose" and sometimes they are "on the loose".....

ROFL!! 🤣

I think I am ready for official review!!!

I am ready for official review as well. If you approve please change my name to Gorosh from Allegro.

Can't wait to start! :)

Last name?

Gorosh Stromson

Not bad.

Desert Halfling Rogue:
Hide: 25, Move Silently: 21

Was going to change the race but eh. Need a mount. Spent 5000 on 2 items lol. Maybe a camel but dunno.

I feel like the warning of "Watch out they spit."
Is needed for the camel!!

Happy and ready to get this party started!

Spent 3000 on one item!  But the  lesser metamagic rod to extend 3 spells/day of 3rd level or lower was too good to not have.

I don't normally push enchumberance unless say you got like 6 weapons, armor, shield, and a backpack.

On you.

That's a little difference lol

Group has more animals then PCs.

Good news on my end I do not plan for either animal to have anything to do with encounters or combat if it can be avoided....

When 7th level rolls around a lantern archon familiar is not super fragile, but also not overtly  powerful either.....

Well if you mean to take Improved Familiar then the Celestial Familiar is gone and so is the feat for it.

You would be better off keeping the celestial hawk. Plus you can't take a lantern archon familiar or at least easily.

Keep in mind even if you don't want them in a fight, doesn't mean they won't be in the fight. They are simply animals other then the familiar. They get sppoked, scared, run away, ect. Unless its a war animal.

Well if you do  not  kill my hawk, then should be that the whole time.  If the hawk dies and I  am 7th level or higher then the lantern archon comes in under the celestial familiar feat.

I feel  like my hawk is safer....

Any more PCs coming on board behind the scenes?

We got a bard and I will be the rogue type.

So we got:
Dwarf Cleric
Gnome Wizard
Human Fighter
Half-Elf Bard
Halfling Rogue

Balanced.

In reply to Dungeonmaster (msg # 112):

Awesome!!

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Hi folks!  I'm the new bard - looking forward to playing with you all! :D

Hey Marhault how are you. Welcome aboard!

Hey other spellcasters to work with!!!

Gorosh I see you changed your profile picture.

Welcome everyone!

In reply to Fizzband Timbers (msg # 117):

Yes I might also change the characters first name Im still trying to get used to it.

: )

I did a public character description for everyone to be able to see.  I do not think it is a requirement, I just like to set a PC at camp when first encountered...

My character sheet should be all set for review - just realized this morning that I hadn't picked up a mount, so I rectified that!

So that is a lot of animals I need to kill I mean save I mean nevermind....

Looking forward to getting going...

In reply to Fizzband Timbers (msg # 122):

Me too!

Everyone can post in 'Hommlet' as your travelling to it unaware of what has occured in the past. Just mild rumors, no definate proof. To you its just a village.

On the map (which is all OOC) you start at number '1'.

Ready to post, but no time this evening, plan to put up an intro post

Are we basically arriving simultaneously?

Everyone in the group are friends travelling together.

Waiting on the cleric and the fighter

Happy Holiday, for those who celebrate, have a great weekend  everyone else....

Also so everyone knows your all traveling together.

Horses + Wagon = Slower then a horse :)

Oh yeah!

Good news is we got the initial posts out of the way!

Mules + Wagon = Extended Delays for Mule Attitude.

I'll post tommorow. always good to have inner group conversation, Assuming you will go to the tavern?

The halfling will join soon.

Tavern sounds good to me!

Seems we have found the halfling....

Yes you did!

Seems like we have all sorts of animals, All we still need is some free range chickens, laying hens for fresh eggs and maybe a cow or goat for milk???

LOL!

Nice looking town.

Hope everyone is doing well, and that no one looked at the eclipse without eye protection....

We got lucky with the eclipse - bad weather a few days before, and nasty weather basically since it's passed - but the afternoon of, the skies cleared, and we had a great view of it.

Hope everyone has a great weekend coming up!

Waiting on the cleric and bard.

Oh, I thought my greeting to Mocha counted - no worries, I'll make another one! :)

Doh. Bit confused lol.

So waiting on the cleric.

Marhault you forgot something...

And a parchment in a pear tree! lol

So everyone is in the inn other then Barwin and Mocha?

I think Marhault and Gorosh headed inside, and Fizzband stayed out to tend to Moose while Barwin talked to the smith.

It wouldn't take very long for  Fizzband to head inside as well, as he has no business with the smithy.

Just wanted to fast forward it a bit but if the wizard wants to do anything outside, feel free. Unless you want to muck the stalls or interested in what Mocha is doing (probably standing near the cleric). Need to post and will at sone point today lol

link to a message in this game

For future reference, make sure to not post 'just text' please. Thanks!

Looking forward to things getting rolling along, smooth sailing as they say.

The main page is showing a new message, but I do not see any new messages.  The glitch strikes again!

I get that glitch with regularity :(

What is the most interesting thing that I would know about each of your characters?

I will go first,

I am a tinker gnome and the description of tinker gnome places is something I would have shared.

The second one is obviously my nicknames for my riding dog and falcon (Moose and Goose).

An interesting thing that a friend/companion would know about Gorosh is he was partly raised by a dwarven weaponsmith and his wife. Gorosh speaks perfect dwarven and knows a thing or two about the dwarven culture.

Gorosh loves a good dwarven ale. He also appreciates fine mead.

Barwin's father was a Dwarven Forge Master but he chose to go a different way.  Not wishing to forge weapons of Death.  He chose the Healing way instead.

But did get some good instruction from his father before leaving.

Good stuff guys!

1. Mocha isn't her real name. Just fits for she drinks a lot of coffee. No one asked her name.
2. If something is missing, Mocha probably has it. Klepto.
3. If Mocha doesn't want to be see, she probably won't be. You think your alone, think again. Mwahaha.

Probably got others.

Marhault's parents named him after the hero of an ancient elf legend, a warrior with the burning rage of a dragon in their heart.  Perhaps they were hoping for a strapping lad of similar strength and resolve, but it turns out young Marhault was more interested in the stories than the characters, and that interest got him on his way to his work as a scribe, a story-teller, and the itch in his feet that sent him on the road.

Sorry for the short post. Been a long week.
