This is where talking goes. And bonding. FRIENDSHIP!
Hmm.

Oddly enough, I'm very gear independent. I mostly just need food. Like dead rogues.  :)
Hmm.

True, the Totem Master should be able to survive partially naked. Although I wonder how many items actually apply to his altered version of Wildshape...

If you want to design some, go ahead.

For my reference:

We've got a Spellsinger, a Necromant, and a totem master.


In terms of party types covered, Totem Master is definitely BeatStick, Necromant is Arcane, and Spellsinger is an Arcane/Skill hybrid. We are definitely going to be light on the healing & skills, and depending on how the Necromant is played, possibly light on the debuffs/crowd control.

In terms of never played classes, there's currently:
Ecclesiast
Runecarver - Incomplete
Osteogen
Martyr
Ritual Warrior
Overlord - Incomplete
Vivisector - Incomplete
Echocaller
Historian

The most difficult to play would probably be the Historian. Speaking of which, at some point I need to create the Ancient Thievery Technique for him.

I won't be playing another ritual user.

Not really surprising. A Martyr and Necromant would absolutely despise one another, both for IC and OOC reasons. So, better not. The other campaign has enough intraparty sniping :P

Ecclesiast is a maybe.
Runecarver is too incomplete.
Osteogen is a no.
No ritual users.
One Necromancer is enough.
Echocaller is a maybe.
Historian is a maybe.

Hmmmm.

Well, remember the Vivisector will be rather different from the Necromant, but definitely on the beater line.

Otherwise, Divine Caster, Jack of all Trades, Secondary Damage are the three you've picked out. Any of those that really strike your fancy?

I'll have to dig into the mechanics of them and see what calls to me.

Historian is the class that created the spell point based casting and the martial fusillades, so you have both in that class on a daily basis. Ecclesiast is just spell point divine casting, and the last has its own echo mechanic, although it's an easy one to understand.

It is going to be difficult to decide on which seed I want to be able to spend 2 points per day on for a one round effect...

Low level spellcasters.   :shakefist

On the other hand, I'm at-will... but I'll probably only be making my checks like one out of four times.

Joining us with another healer, are you? :flirt

You should have a 80% chance of passing at first level, a little more if you seriously optimize it. +3-4 ability, +4 skills, +2 mwk tool, +3 skill focus gets you to +12-13 on a base DC of 15.

Love those spell points! :D And I recommend the Summon seed ;)

Was proposing that to Nanshork. It will be a lot more effective as a heal-bot than a 1st level ecclesiast.

True. Flonha are good at healing. Not sure how the Echocaller helps though, aside from stabbing people in combat :P

I'm sure we could squeeze you in though if there was something you wanted to play.  :birthday

I mean't Chronomancer...  :banghead With the flohna racial feat that removes the cap, a flohna chronomancer could basically transfer their fast healing capacity to the whole party.

Edit: Wait... which one got the fast healing? I swear one of the time-themed classes got it at 1st... Did you remove that?

Anyway, the Champion still gets it. So a Flohna Champion with Gift of Life is the best low level healer.
