D&D 3.5 and Pathfinder / Re: Recruiting for Roll20 Game: Arcana High
« on: August 07, 2014, 07:27:08 PM »

I was thinking of taking the Arcane School Spirit feat (exceptionally fitting thematically, I think), but the concept doesn't seem consistent with illusion magic: I make a bluff check opposed by the opponent's sense motive to brag about how great my specialized school is, and if I win they get -2 on their next save against a spell from that school. But since my specialization is illusion, wouldn't it be counterintuitive to brag about illusions and thereby reveal that what I'm about to do IS an illusion? Could I instead make the bluff check pertain to how powerful magic is in my family bloodline or something?

Well the way I would justify that, is that you're pulling an Aizen on them. "Well played, but what you fail to realize is that you're already ensnared in my illusions. Your mind has been in the palm of my hand since before you even saw me. Since when were you under the impression that this is the real me? SINCE WHEN WERE YOU UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT YOU WERE UNDER THE IMPRESSION?"

FULL KUBO. Full troll. Your feat is now justified.  :cool

Oh yeah that's a great idea!  :plotting

I am good on Saturdays and Sundays, but I know Lord Xeno usually works Saturdays.

I've been using this site to fill out my character sheet; should I also make one for roll20 or can I just send you this once I finish?

My character's bio and ability scores are set!

I would like my character to be the Gnomish Illusionist Syrasi Tumblebarrow. She is from a long line of master illusion mages, long the most highly-regarded members of their community. She showed immense promise during the early stages of tutelage, and the invitation to attend Arcana High was received as a great honor for her family. But she has a dark secret. Her curiosity about the workings of magic knows no bounds, and she has delved into the secrets of necromancy, a taboo subject in gnomish culture. She has gone to great lengths to keep this secret from her family, but intends to build greatly upon her knowledge at the magic school. She is very friendly and outgoing, and always seeks to make friends with everyone she meets. Despite her phenomenal intellect, she is extremely scatterbrained, and can quickly lose focus if too much is happening at once.

Her themes are:
1- Morbid Curiosity: Syrasi's thirst for knowledge has led her to explore dark corners of knowledge most would consider better left alone. She will jump without hesitation at the chance to learn more about negative energy and its uses.
2- Friendship is Magic: Syrasi absolutely loves making new friends and will always try to befriend everyone she meets, unless they are obviously hostile.

How many sessions do you estimate this campaign will be? I know a whole bunch of people who want in :) Also on that note: What is the upper limit of PCs?

Yay I found this forum! I was wondering about the alternative ability score calculator you mentioned in the description: are we using that? And can I just roll dice in the roll20 interface? Will that save them?
