Tortoise folk seems good to go.

Awesome.  Have another update to my plans.  I'm looking at Tortoise Folk Paragon 3/Something 1/Warblade 2 and for the rest of the levels beyond.  Yep yep, I'm liking the look of this, how about you?

Gotta find some good hammers, WotC is a bit slim on effective bludgeoning weapons.  Then again, the warhammer may just suffice.

Heading to bed, it's almost done.  A few questions for the DM.

*The paragon class lets your body act as armor, and you can even apply a material effect.  Would you might if you can apply an item template effect (DMG2, it's in the back)?  Because if so I am totally making my body armor Githcraft.  I'm imagining its like... engravings or tattoos on the shell.

*Luck of Heroes feat (Forgotten Realms).  Is it kosher, even though I don't fit the setting specific fluff race prereqs?

*I picked the Maul as a weapon, but its technically 3.0 and I'm unsure if it's been updated.  A&EG.  The stats aren't unusual (1d10, 20/x3, two handed) but best double check.

I think that's it.  The class has changed a bit: it's now Paragon 3/Swordsage 1/Warblade 1/Bloodstorm Blade 1.  But that's about the extent of the complexity, it's Bloodstorm and Warblade from that point on.

I think the maul is in Complete Warrior. I believe it can be held in two hands as a martial weapon, or one handed as an exotic weapon (like bastard swords).

[Nanshork]

This is correct.  Still 1d10 damage for a medium creature, 20/X3 crit.

So who knows the way back to town?

[SolEiji]

Oslecamo, Sir Barkley is complete.  Please bring up any questions if you have them.

I'll probably revisit later to add fluff, though I believe I've told you his backstory.

EDIT: Fluff added.

Looking good. Seems like your character is in a quest from king Bowser. How about you're looking for a princess to kidnap, so you decide to join the nearest group of wannabe heroes, because you know they'll run into a princess sooner or later?

(click to show/hide)

 the party may or may not be in their way to meet a pirate princess

So who knows the way back to town?

Jeremy and Pha both know and could lead the party back right now. Hopefully they would meet Sir Boxer Barkley there, unless you would prefer the koopa warrior shows up from the trees and then you're attacked by night forest monsters and must work together, bonding over battle.

[Anomander]

Going back to town. No XP from fighting so there is no real point.

[SolEiji]

I'll be keeping abreast of the IC thread now, whenever you think is good I'll enter.

"Riote!  So I'm to get King Bowser a princess!  Ooooh, this is it!  Barkley's hittin' up the big times now!"

[SolEiji]

And posted, tell me if I'm out of order with anything there.  It is just a fluff bit before initiative actually starts, and to set my location.

[Dr_emperor]

Posting tomorrow morning trying to change a feat, having the permanent companion adds more summons that might be annoying.  If anyone has any ideas to use a standard action when we seem to be winning that can be gained from a feat.


Also just wanted to check with oslecamo about 2 details  the savage trait Void Spirit will give another charge to to the summon monster ability every ten minutes?  Can I change my immunity to fire to something else it seems weird to be a goomba that laughs off fireballs.  Sonic, electricity, or cold; cold seems best cause then Pha can go crazy.

[oslecamo]

Yes to charge.

As for changing your immunity, sonic or electricity would be fine, cold no since it's a bit cheesy. Pha already hits hard enough when she needs to worry about friendly fire frost.

Also we still waiting on the Deku initiative.

[Dr_emperor]

Ok posted, Kinda figured cold wouldn't work.  Updated to sonic.

[oslecamo]

Oh yeah, something I forgot to mention, here we use group initiative. Aka everybody on the same team acts at the same time.

And the koopa had already beaten the raticates initiatives.

So you can all act right now.

[SolEiji]

10-4, have a post.  40,000 hours in Mario Golf!

[SorO_Lost]

Couple changes to Hyrule Warrior over the last few days. Including your desire for an ac nerf, so now even through it's Dexterity is higher than both SolEiji & Dr_emperor's characters, and is actually wearing armor (the goomba king has just a robe), and is using a shield, it's only a points lower than both of them (and massively behind Anomander's Fi character). I suppose 14 Wis-to-AC for a +2 bonus is substantially more powerful than handing out a +9 Natural Armor bonus through. 

It seems the only real high power part I've found thus far is Expanded Capacity being used to net a higher Enhancement Bonus than par, but meh. It's pretty resource extensive vs all the nearly free Str boosting Races/Templates you can stack (or just taking boomerang daze) so it's not bad. Offense is terrible imho but at least it's only a little behind SolEiji's guy.

[Dr_emperor]

Umm I'm looking at my post and I didn't make it clear but I charged forward slamming into the Raticate

+1 to hit and damage not added in die rolls, but he charges bravely forward to slam a raticate.  +2 to hit

I had it separated with my voice bubble will fix in the future. 

[SolEiji]

Quick question, which of the (two?) attacks dealt the 16 damage?  I might Wall of Blades that.

[oslecamo]

Well, crap, seems like the forum ate my post...

Anomander: Hadn't your character already used Cold Sign last round? The Yuki-on-na recharges randomly and I didn't see you roll for that.

Sorry, completely missed your character's own attack, edited in the IC.

The blinding bite attack.

In retrospective, I may've been too harsh, the Hylian warrior is indeed somewhat MAD so you can have Wis to shield back. Rest of your character seems fine. Mind just hoping in the battle as the hero rival to Jeremy?

K, but I don't know which one that is.  The dice rolls are unmarked, and I can't guess it since they aren't listed with their to-hit (unless they all have +0 attack, I doubt it).

No matter, I'll go ahead and spend it and you can tell me if it works or not.  Well, I will tomorrow, when I wake up.  Zzzz...

[Dr_emperor]

Do I apply my damage reduction to Raticate attacks or not?  and is it ok that my summons are referencing different Nintendo creatures even though you'll need to squint sometimes Bison/rhino?  I should have gone with the fiendish gorilla anyway he's pretty easy to fluff as a Kong.
