And I'm around again with some internet issues cleared up.

Leviathan seems like it's on firmer footing than any team except Stark. This is good. Only, my first pick to drop would be my character on Leviathan (Squeaky.) I love the team theme and like the character, but I'm running another Wisdom SAD nullblade in Heroes Reborn.

I could maybe switch out Squeaky with Grask from Brute Squad? The Kaorti fit the "monsters from beyond" theme of Leviathan (albeit loosely) and I'm really curious to see if the weird Ritualist thing I've got going there holds up in combat.

As for my other two chars:

Tik Tik really only works if team Kitteh is still a thing. Otherwise he's a Psion who lost a manifester level for no particularly compelling reason.

Kal O' Dair (listed as Fair) is a wizard. An interesting wizard but still, not something I'd have trouble fitting into any other given campaign. I could drop him without much of a problem.

So, my update to Phae's update to Zook's list:

the rest should be split into 3 groups

15
-Kal O Fair
-Cybele
-Cipher
-Blackbird
-Grask (possibly switched to Leviathan)
-Tik Tik (unless team Fuzzynutz continues)
-Mr Fuzzynuts
-Kiora
-Latoris
-AICU812
-Drax
-Quigo
-Ssyruss
-Damask
-Crash

Thank you! So that's 12 loose guys that we could easily combine into the other 3 teams.

is there anyone that would prefer working w someone in particular?

I need to look and see who Blackbird would work well with

of the existing teams, it seems like Stark is the fit. But we could have him in a 'new' team

I don't know if we should keep the existing team setup.

It might be easier to just start team-forming from scratch. Maybe two(or so) regular teams and a team for alt characters?

*nods* i think that'd be the best (maybe the easiest too), but it sounds that SirP would like to run the Warficers?

So far, here’s the updated teams…. Let me know if you want to change these?

This will give room for possible extra members in each party

unless bhu wants to try to keep Fuzzynuts, lets assume he's gone (along w Tik Tik)

Anyone that gets split from FFA will almost certainly have to redo all of their equipment, since I basically outfitted the whole group.

I vote for keeping it the same. Yeah it's a little OP but seriously, paperwork. I hate paperwork :(

The whole point of my team was playtesting the Cat Burglar and its associated PrC's for problems.  Since there prolly wont be an all CB team I might switch characters if i stay.

The proposed team arrangements have me running three characters, which I don't necessarily mind (unless I'm still going to be running Team Leviathan, in which case scaling that back might be wise), and also have two of them on the same team (Damask and Koira).

ok i see that you've got 2 on my team... is there one you prefer to send over to the other new team?

i agree that Leviathan is HUGE, but i guess it started that way :-p

maybe a couple people can offer to go to other groups? maybe 1 to my team and 1 to CNC's?

then all the teams are 5 chars

Why not just restart the game from scratch with characters as in?

Form completely new teams, seems like the simplest solution.

If I may interject, my friend Digital and I are still interested after all this inactivity.

Is there room for two more? I'm also thinking of rebuilding my character, but that's besides the point.

I'm okay with redoing my math for gear. I will need a little bit to decide on a Saga after teams are set, assuming I need to change it.

My gear isn't twinked out by an artificer, or using morphing shurikens, etc. So it doesn't need to be redone, and I don't care either way the direction things go for that.

As far as the teams, I'm only left on Leviathan, and would prefer that it stay intact at least thematically. We hadn't really done anything yet, anyway, except meet our sponsor.

@lightning... Of course

I'm fine w most of Leviathan staying together.

I really like where I was going in Brute, story wise, but I'd be fine w starting over. Most of my stuff has been set up already, and that was the hard part.

I agree this would probably be the easiest... especially since new DM's are taking over teams.

W the 2 teams I have above, I was trying to make them balanced with the variety of chats in it. No 5 rogue chars, etc
