I'll work on my build tonight and try and have something up and running of some sort tomorrow.

Rikimaru, I wonder if Ninja is strong enough... some trapmonkeyness would be nice, but Ninja's not particularly noteworthy IMO.

EDIT: dither, would you mind if I swap White Raven for my Essence of Gaia?

I may not do it to start. However i will keep it in the woodworks, cuz i do have a powerful build for it ive always wantedto do, but hhave yet to get the chance. So I'll save it for later.

However i will say it would be nice not to get killed by some trap bc we didn't have someone with trapfinding. So i may still take my chances with ninja. They are my favorite, and i love playing them.

Will you allow me to use the ninja-to, as a ninja prof. Weapon without me needing to take the exotic weapon feat? If not I'll be trading improved initiative for it.

Sorry I haven't responded, subscriptions on this site do not work as I had expected them to.  :???

As for marching order, I can go second? I will be pretty good at field control soon but I will never have great saves.

Uhhhhhh... I'm a thug, certainly no party face.

SirPercival seems as good a person to make decisions for me as anyone else. I choose you!

When we die, if we decide that our builds aren't optimized enough for this kind of thing- can we make new characters?

Sure you can have it for free as a ninja, it's basically just a fancy short sword. :P

Are we rolling for starting gold, or max, or average?

Let's go with 100 gp if you want "a la carte" instead of the starting kit for the class. You won't be able to afford heavier armor (unless it's in the starting kit?) which should be fine -- at least initially -- in the marsh. You don't want to drown or get heat stroke in heavy armor. ;)

When we die, if we decide that our builds aren't optimized enough for this kind of thing- can we make new characters?

Yup. In fact, you may want to figure out a way to take advantage of this fact.

So i don't see the potential for traps any time soon, just yet anyways. I'll follow somewhere between front lines-mind group so i can still search easily i front of the group for any potential "hazards" snd keep sensory on all sides uksing spots and listen checks.


If we could i can't find the post that showed who all was in parry yet and what they were playing. Could i see s list if thsy again, and possibly with it in our marching order?

Wow, Synad huh? I don't know that I've ever had one in a game before. Do you know how many mercs you want to start? Same as before (orc warriors)?

Are we using multiclass penalties?

Yup. Should be easier to calculate/factor since you're buying XP. While you're taking multiclass penalties, you pay 15% more per level. Interesting.

If we could i can't find the post that showed who all was in parry yet and what they were playing. Could i see s list if thsy again, and possibly with it in our marching order?


Front line:
- 2 half-orc warriors (hirelings)

Middle line:
- Grim, human fighter (bridgar)
- human ninja (rikimaru)
- Quinder Streambed, halfling ranger (sirpercival)

Back line:
- "lesser cansin?" scholar (samnemath)
- synad wilder (mcpoyo)

---
Does anyone else want to contribute to the "merc fund?"

At present, mcpoyo is the only one who's opted to hire mercs.

Yeah, was looking through CPsi, and saw them. Had forgotten they existed, never played one, never had someone play one, figured "hell, why not, I like the feel".

I think two orc mercs would work well, for now, for me. May add more later, or may swap for thralls once we hit that point.

I've realized that this area will actually be very hard for us. I can't really get going for another feat or two and we can probably all get one-shot by shocker lizards doing their shocky shocky fusion dance thing.  :bigeyes

Half-orc mercs reporting a couple lizardfolk (estimate 3) coming through the reeds.

Looks to be an armed patrol but they're making a lot of noise so they aren't trying to be stealthy.

What do we know about lizardfolk in this area? Hostile by default?
