So, i'm thinking about DMing a 3.5 campaign. It's going to be an any supplement that works with d20 3.5e dnd. The starting levels will be ECL 5 or fifth level characters and the setting is going to be post fictional renaissance, ie there's going to be guns. If interesting send a pdf character sheet of your character to bamump2k9@yahoo.com and i'll try to respond with my skype name and a link to the dice generator that i use. My hopefully starting date will be tuesday the 21st, but will delay if circumstances are bleak. Hope to see some takers.

Posting this here so I don't forget it:
"The iron in the body of a warforged makes him vulnerable to rusting grasp. The creature takes 2d6 points of damage from the spell (Refl ex half; save DC 14 + caster’s ability modifier). A warforged takes the same damage from a rust monster’s touch (Refl ex DC 17 half). Spells such as stone to flesh, stone shape, warp wood, and wood shape affect objects only, and thus cannot be used on the stone and wood parts of a warforged." [Eberron Campaign Setting]

we will be playing on monday upcoming then.
I have the day off so the usual shenanigans. same time same place.

>>318239
sala, you missed the last part of first session. that was saying that you all leveled from 5 to 6. Because i didn't have the calculations i just added a level. so as a level six character you are starting out with 15000 experience. then you add the experience from this
>>318206
which is for you personally 11000
the total exp you should have is 26000 and the experience needed to make it to level 7 is only 21000.

I am starting to get flustered, do you have a link to what you are looking at that is confusing you so much? Or the name of the book that you're using?
>>
No. 8244 ID: 6a5a08

>>318242
I looked over the table and Sala would have started with 6000 at Lvl 4 (+1 level adjustment from Dromite puts it at the ECL 5 to start).

I think what confused me is the '48 people saved, about 100 each'
I read that as '100 in total for each character', not '4800 total for each character'.
>>
No. 8245 ID: 6a5a08

Even from the minimum of 10,000 for level 5, that 11,000 would bump it up through 6 to 7, so I updated the level again:

HP: 4(Rolled), +1(Con), new max: 40
PP: +11(Psion), +2(Int), new max: 66
Skills: +2 to Concentration, +4 to Gather Information
Powers learned: Fly, Psionic; Telekinetic Maneuver

so the update is that the campaign is put on hold til one of the current players can get all internetted up and due to not having too many people- on a side note this campaing is still looking for players to join in, the details still are at the top of this thread
>>
No. 8344 ID: b6edd6

I found a friend who would like to join the group.

(At this point new characters will start at lvl 7, right?)
He says that if it is not too overpowered (which I think it is), he wants to play a half-dragon hill giant (which has a total level adjustment of +7, and a massive assortment of bonuses listed in http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/giant.htm#hillGiant and http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/halfDragon.htm . Particularly of note are the 12d8 starting hit dice, the +8 starting base attack bonus, 5 monster feats, and the +22 strength. (After reading that, I don't know why the hill giant level adjustment is only +4. Sure they have sizable Int and Cha penalties, but fighting classes don't use those anyway.)

Otherwise he is thinking about playing a kobold monk.
>>
No. 8345 ID: b6edd6

Hmm, on second thought, I don't know how much large amounts of strength bonuses are balanced out by a lack of spellcasting. I haven't really had much experience with how things work with high level spellcasters in 3.5.
>>
No. 8346 ID: 207274

Actually, the Half-Dragon ability makes it 12d10 starting HP, and not 12d8 :D
>>
No. 8347 ID: 6d2182

And please ignore the Half-Dragon part. Just being a hill giant monk is enough.

>>
No. 8350 ID: fb1ef0

>>318345
The answer is, "unless your spellcasting consists of self buffs to enable improved melee, not very".
Having a lot of power means jack if you can't close the gap to use it, and there are a LOT of ways to stop melee should a decent creature not want you to hit it.
>>
No. 8351 ID: b6edd6

At least some ultra-powerful monsters seem fairly hittable apart from their DR, high AC, and incredible grapple bonuses.

About that, can you attack with armor spikes while being grappled as well as when grappling?
>>

>apart from their DR, high AC, and incredible grapple bonuses.
I think you are glossing over the problem.
And I do believe that armor spikes automatically cause 1d6 damage when grappled or swallowed, but don't quite me.
>>
No. 8355 ID: fb1ef0

Alright, after a long time, I have taken a smidge of interest in this game.
I just need to know some stuff, like power scale, expectations, what is and isn't kosher.
>>
No. 8356 ID: 6997f2

alright, so to sum up what i see.
Spikes do damage when a creature makes contact with them- whether it's grappling, swallowing, or even punching the armor.
It is alright to put the character sheet in any format you guys are able to use.

>power scale, expectations, what is and isn't kosher.

power scale is between tit mouse and god, expectations are that you will run into things that aren't basic fantasy stereotype, and what is and isn't kosher is up to the game environment (so far it seems that it is unwise to attack a creature that is a cr far greater then yours). If there are in game conflicts between players, they have to solve it in game, if they aren't in game i will slap the ever loving hell outta them verbally. Most things will fly with me, such as pvp and what not (not all the players will be the same alignment or even act the alignment right). The starting ecl is 7 at the moment, if you want to make a broken monster with a class, go right ahead. If it cannot defeat cr 44s or higher, then it will not be considered overpowered.
Also, there will be a fair chance of character or party wipe based on a few "that guy" players.

Cool.

Seeing as CR means fuckall, not surprising, but a lot of things are harder than you'd think.

the current status on the campaign is that i'm going to a convention this weekend. I need to prepair, if the characters are sent to me by the end of the week or early next week we may be able to begin playing again on the week after. I am also getting a new apartment soonish so when we do begin playing the bulk of the encounters will most likely be thrown together.

How many spells would a wizard starting at level 7 have? And does the fact that they are proficient with crossbows also make them proficient with basic guns?
>>
No. 8389 ID: 6997f2

it's subjective based on int on how many spells a level 7 would have, and crossbows are similar but not the same as the guns such as loading the ball and adding powder.

Guns would definitely require their own (exotic) weapon proficiency. There's a world of difference between the two.

I am in.
By the way, I found out from some other games that I had been calculating damage incorrectly during this game. In previous sessions I had though that base attack bonus contributed to damage, when it does not in fact do so. So my melee attacks are now less overpowered (1d6 + 5 in predator form rather than 1d6 + 10). (Next level they might be heading back to OPville, though, because that is when I get my next form.)

So, spell loadout decision time in preparation for a large dwarf attack.
Can I get a description of the tunnel entrance with things like width of the entrance and ground type (floors of stone, dirt, or grass allow or stop various druid spells). A quick map like >>8058 would be nice, but not necessary if it is too much trouble.
>>
No. 8635 ID: 34cbef

>>8633

It's a simple cave mouth- rugged stone walls with patches of dirt, mud and grass as the floor. The deeper it goes the flooring becomes more solid and before it hits the sewer it's completely stone. It is a single tunnel that spans a week long trek and other then that it doesn't have much appeal.

I will probably not be able to make it next Tuesday due to being in California from next Saturday until the Friday after that.

(Also, I think the amount of exp assigned last session was kind of out of scale. We did get a lot done last session, but according to the tables 15000 would bring me from being almost lvl 8 to being halfway from lvl 9 to lvl 10, unless we are using the only-one-level-up-at-once rule, in which case it caps at bringing me from almost level 8 to the edge of level 9.)
