How much of the campaign is going to be ship bound? And how much would you hate me if I said i was thinking of changing builds completely?
Smile beautiful. It's not as bad as you think.

Healing discussion
I was actually thinking of grabbing the fast healing spellshape, but I was still waiting on approval of the homebrew (this one & this one. Only downside I see is that the fast healing may get halved into nothingness for mr warforged.

They are both fine.

Warforged do unfortunately receive half effect from lesser vigor but that is because it is a [healing] subschool spell so as long as your fast healing isn't from that it should be fine.

How much of the campaign is going to be ship bound? And how much would you hate me if I said i was thinking of changing builds completely?
It varies from point to point, most of your traveling will be ship based but the vast majority of encounters will be on islands or in ports. You can change builds as much as you like before we get going, once we do start going though be warned I have a rather grim view on retraining/DCFS

Oh, then the healing will work (living construct ignores spell-like in halving).  :)

Um...putting a geas on a whole town wouldn't work with the campaign, right?

Ohhhh, you're giving me fast healing?

How much/what duration?  Too bad you can't get the Nature's Balance numen.

Fast healing 1, duration 5 rounds, but I can keep it up if needed.

I'll take it!

Edit: I'd like something more permanent and less dependent on other people if possible.  Hmmmm....

Littha, can I make a slam attack on the same round that I attack with a two-handed weapon?  I've seen it ruled that slams require a free hand.

Slam attacks require your hands so no you can not. If you were really enormous I suppose you could make a slam with a foot but I imagine you are not going to be Huge+.

That's what I figured.  That just means I won't take any feats/equipment that affect my slam attack.

So, where's Prime with out board?

I noticed, that's why I'm not nagging you.   :P

Edit: Just so that we're clear that I'm not trying to be sneaky, I'm planning on going with the Iron Berserker prestige class here with what looks like multiple sources of fast healing (and temp hp from raging).  Are you fine with that?

@Littha: What level do you expect us to reach? I know you said things will progress fairly quickly, but I'm still trying to get a handle of my character.

@Party: Warlock or Dragon Fire Adept? Or something else? Usually, I come up with a character concept right off, but I can't seem to peg anything down. This is what I'm looking at for a warlock build, eventually heading into Hellfire warlock with Shape soulmeld(strongheart vest) and maybe legacy champion.

Well, one of the reasons for going DFA would be entangling stuff.  Since I'm playing a druid though, I'll be able to do that every now and again, but nowhere near as effectively or often as you I think.

I could grab entangling breath, just, it seems more of a low level feat than a for life feat (and Littha dislikes retraining feats like that).

Sheet so far.

Savage Tides goes to 20 so it all depends on how long we keep playing for.

Are you allowing armors from the A&EG like wood and such?
