Big THX to ruleofcool for putting up with 3.1416 Wise Men.
For those who missed it, over at RoC forums I announced that I was going to prep a second campaign storyline. This will feature those whom are currently listed as "reserves": VennDiagram; Pimpforged; GeniusSavant; PhaedrusXY; Risada, Scout89. Your campaign will be starting in a Human countries capitol city.
More to come. Need to Sleep today and there is so much to do here and elsewhere.
YAY!
I have my stuff back!
[Hugs boards]
Good luck (^. ^)
Re: Feats...
When in doubt, I resort to:
Martial Study, Martial Stance, and Shape Soulmeld. They are simply the most versatile feats out there besides, like, Leadership.
Absolutely.@Arias: Shadow Creature
That's nice. I think I might use that. (I'd have better Fast Healing, and another maneuver, to say nothing of changing stance as a free action with Improved Hylian Bladestyle.)
Also, SirP, can Improved Bladestyle be used without changing weapons? Can changing gear just be switching between two bucklers?
@Arias: Shadow Creature
I'm currently operating under the assumption that team 3 will not be silly. gparali would prefer serious, and I'm perfectly happy with it also. So that's not a problem if you want to come be a 3rd wheel with us.ASS. U. ME. We. Shall. See. (My favorite retort when people use that work IC around one of my bards.)
... though I'm using Oslecamo's class version rather than the template.I never noticed Osle's. Link?
I think there's room for two shadowy arrowy deathy characters in a team, if you're ok with it.I have two main shticks. One for mook-bashing, one for "bosses".
EDIT: Actually, forget the part where I'm not playing a darkness generating character. My new character also generates darkness (from an Invocation rather than a racial ability, but darkness at will is the important thing), and will be happy to help out a fellow shadow being.I don't think I see through magical darkness. So it is kind of important to me. But I have my wand, so I'm not that worried about it, the only reason I mentioned it was because you were the only one who responded to my query back then, and it was in that context.
... how do you manage to squeeze lightheartedness out of the first two? XDMalkavians and Ragabash, mostly. That's actually the Ragabash's job as an auspice to bring in the levity. Heck, in my (I'm ST) Vampire: Victorian Age, the Malkavian is Edgar Allen Poe, and he uses Dark Thaumaturgy, and his familiar is a Raven, and the player pulls off all of this so absolutely beautifully. Okay, so no-one laughs In Character, but OOC, we all find his stuff hilarious.
What book is Dragonsong from?Draconomicon, also, here's the link for Dragonsong and Song of the Heart feats. You'll notice that both feats have a pre-req of *dudududuh!* 6 ranks in perform
Whirling Blade is a good idea, thanks for pointing it out. I'll see if I can swap that for Tongues (maybe get a wand of Tongues if I have the cash, especially if I do Savage Bard and lose Speak Language as a class skill). Ooh, a Whirling Bladeweave would be fun...Actually, a melee bard I made had a wand chamber with a Whirling Blade wand in his Crystal Echoblade. Also, about PA, remember you can two-hand a longsword, which the Echoblade is.
I wasn't sure about Glitterdust because it's a 2nd level Will save or Die, same as Bladeweave. But it's more useful for AoE's and pointing out invisible creatures to the party, which we've had trouble with in the past. We've got a Telepath with Mindsight and the Minotaur and Animal Companion both have scent, but that's not helpful when none of them can pinpoint the location for other peopleFor just the reveal part, your druid has Faery Fire, which is similar in that aspect, and you can always toss alchemical items that do that, much less a bag of flour. Glitterdust is great because it catches such a huge area, and has additional effects, but those other methods work well enough if you have a more narrowed-down area to target already..
Not just that. For Focused Performer + Focused Performance feats.is Dragon Magazine allowed in your game?What, for Heartfire Fanner? I could ask.
I'm... not seeing the incentive to start a new thread for OOC stuff. @_@Two reasons, really. The first is to make communication between team members easier by cutting back on the unrelated noise - this thread moves extremely fast. The second, and I'm not sure if this holds here, is that threads of 50+ pages put too much strain on the boards. On the older forums we'd lock them at 50 pages and start new threads, and since this is also SMF, it seems reasonable to assume that's the case here.
So we need 1 or 2 people from team monster depending on whether AriasDerros is officially on that team at the moment.
I have Joseph Spades on my computer.
Any thoughts?+ 1 to what R_D said.
I wish I wasn't so bad with feats.
Trying to think of something to replace skill focus. Any suggestions? XD
Bard 1 - Melodic Casting, Dragonfire Inspiration (Bardic Knack, possibly Savage)Since you took this feat twice, you can actually already get another feat in.
Bard 5 - Melodic Casting
So I'm looking for advice mainly on spells (I get one 1st level Sorc spell that I haven't picked), feats I may have missed, etc.
I'm holding off on gear because the party is currently rather under-WBL'd, so I'm not sure what equipment will be available.

Is melee bard still viable? Is dipping Marshal 1 worth it? Is there something better than Power Attack for me to take at 12 (or swap something else in for it now)? Savage Bard - yay/nay? Is glitterdust still worthwhile with Bladeweave?
