Is there place in the party for a generalist that makes things go boom and hurt?

Or perhaps a demented summoner?

Oooh, are you considering a Dementist?? That would be awesome... I'm playing a malconvoker, though. :/

Think a Sea Dragonspawn counts as a half-blood? :)
Yeah, I'd say so.

Thanks for input guys(my current players and co-dm :D)! By all means feel free to jump in and help with questions.


Phae- I totally understand  :lol  I nearly got carried away with too much PbP as well. You will be missed

Sneer- Pretty sure there is always room for summoners or builds that make things boom :devil Being that the party is somewhat more fragile then most, those can be valuable additions.

Well, I think I have a solid build idea and a background concept to go with it.  I'm actually a little unsure about Anima Mage and considering dropping the whole idea though.  I might look for ways to pump up her direct combat ability with buffs and the like instead, especially since I'm seeing her using alter self/polymorph to be the 'melee' of the group somewhat often.  Either way, the background so far should work with any potential build I come up with.

Bah, I can't stop looking at/thinking about this...

After reading through the fluff and house rules, I don't think my original character would fit very well, as he relies on traveling to another plane to learn the spells of many different divine domains...

However, I wouldn't mind still doing something similar, like a spellthief/diviner/unseen seer with master spellthief, to basically be the party "rogue". I'd still keep the Uncanny Forethought feat, but just not have access to all the crazy non-wizard spells from domains.

Could the spellthief level count as my "martial" level, instead of taking a +1 LA race? I'd probably change races to something more inherently sneaky, like whisper gnome, instead of human.

I know this was originally proposed as an all Wizard campaign, but since a few people have come and gone and there's new recruitment, what about the possibility of adding in a dumb as a bag of rocks non-caster to the group?

Phaedrus ~ Ya you could do that I suppose. A spellthief would be pretty beneficial to the party thats for sure :D


InnaBinder ~ That does sound pretty awesome. Whats the Fleshwarper from?

Mnem ~ Killravens are a good solid choice :D  Im not to familiar with the Anima mage, though I do know its a lot of peoples favorite. So personally I would go the incantrix, but I have a deep love for that Prc for some reason.. Just go with what ever build you would have the most fun playing

Nacho ~ Going off what we mentioned in PM's. If you could create a interesting character, with at least some sort of Arcane base we could work something out.
It would be on your part though to create a character that would be compelled to be almost certainly be signing up for a suicide mission,.. against the most powerful Wizards in the world.


Everyone ~ K so looks like we have enough interested players here.  I'v asked my other players and Co-DM to help me decide as well. Go ahead and get some builds up, start thinking about a Guild or Organization to be from. Then we can start hashing out the good stuff :P
Remember, every Guild has its own benefit's that come with being a member. So pick wisely :devil

Fleshwarper is from Lords of Madness, and has an infuriating Heal requirement (that's actually higher than listed).  Glimmerskin Halfling adds Heal to its Class skill list, though.   :smirk

So no one is heading toward Incantatrix? I'm guessing that's considered too OP, right? I mean... it IS basically the most powerful official wizard PrC ever printed...

The Incantatrix was one of the ones who dropped out... I liked that character :(  But we could really use one!

I SOOO want an incantatrix, I need my spells persisted! Especially when I get Arcane Spell Surge in a few levels.

As a debuffer, I'd like to see this happen as well.
I'm what's staring back from the abyss.
How come you guys never wave?

Please send me a PM if you give me kudos. I'm interested in what I'm doing right.

Great. :D I'll head towards that, then.  :smirk

Edit: build so far

Next level I'll get Cooperative Metamagic, and so can Persist your guys' spells. I'll take Item Familiar at 9th to help with the Spellcraft checks. At 9th level, I'll also finally be able to Persist my own spells...  :rolleyes

Hmm... would it be OK to start out with different metamagic feats that are actually usable right now, and retrain them later to Extend and Persist? I'm thinking something like Sculpt and Invisible Spell.

I'm assuming I can have the level of spellthief count as my free "martial" level (instead of taking a LA +1 race). I'd rather take it at 2nd, due to the difficulty in meeting feat prereqs, though. If this is a problem, let me know.

And how are those Foci going to work, exactly? How many are we going to have starting out? I'm a little fuzzy on that.

Yea you can start with the level of spellthief. For the Foci, every character has there own right now. You most likely will be starting with one as well, since you most likely will be considered part of the Imperium in some manner.

If my Co-DM and other players dont have any problem with later feat retraining then I dont either. :D So I assume if should be fine. Your build looks pretty good so far. Spellthief Incantrix would definitely be super useful to the group  :P

Here's what I have so far:  Mark X Character Record Sheet: Tyralisa Sen'zarin

Still a few parts of the character sheet need some work and I might yet change a thing or two around, but them's the basics.  Haven't finished working out equipment (always my hardest thing to decide, since there's so much I want!) or her spell list.  If anyone has any suggestions on the spell list side that would fill a hole the party currently has, or something of that nature, let me know.  And let me know if there's anything that needs to be changed or is disallowed.

I decided to drop the Anima Mage side entirely cause I decided it didn't feel like it would be as beneficial to her or the group as sticking to a straight caster and because I'll be so far behind on the binder progression that it doesn't really seem that fun (sadly it does mean no sacking my stats, so there goes my plans to use tons of Sanctified and/or Corrupt spells).  At level 7 she'll go into Incantatrix and proceed with that.  While she's technically a conjurer (Abrupt Jaunt is too good to pass up, especially for a character that plans to get into melee) she'll probably actually be using a lot of buff spells and when appropriate, polymorph.  Not that the extra conjuration spells will hurt, there will always be something to do with them, after all.

Mnemnosyne that is a very interesting character sheet. I like how you have the summaries and source info for stuff on there.

Mnemnosyne, InnaBinder, and PhaedrusXY  ~
Those all look like pretty bad ass characters. Keep up the good work.



So I will hopefully be choosing and bringing the new players by Thursday. Anyone else still interested go ahead and mock up a build to post. :D

Gonna pull my name out of the hat. Playing casters is too much work for me right now.

I labor over every single spell I choose. Not good for one's psyche, I can tell you that, when there are so many to choose from...  :tongue
