The Gaming Den

replaced Earthbolt in the Earth sphere with a reflav. Phantom Steed, replacing my Jar of sand with making the armour magic . I was under the impression that the Jar of Sand was the flying item. Replacing it with armor leaves him with a magic dagger, armor, belt, and bracers. Of course, I'm not at s...

Hammerdin is a perfectly viable solo Hell build. And there are a few others that can squeak by with difficulty, like Meteorb.

But Phantom Steed can't fly until CL 14. Are you giving up on joining the crew in the air?

Oops, sorry. You'll be missed.

Veteran of the War is one of the base backgrounds and gives an armor proficiency. If you really wanted heavier armor as a Warlock you could have it. The 8 power - you don't specify whether the sand attack is a melee or ranged attack roll, or even put a limit on the range or type of attack. As writte...

Fine by me.

So let's see what we have now, an hour and ten minutes before showtime: Diov Krad (For Valor) Sulu Payapa (Koumei) Aria Ghaeleborn (Pixels) Hypolita (Prak_Anima) Andrew Jackson (ubernoob) CatharzGodfoot has yet to post a complete character sheet, and GoA has posted nothing. We've got a decent spread...

Earth Hammer is a spell from Races of Stone. Increases the damage of a weapon as if it were a size larger and makes it act as adamantine for 1 round/level.

I think this is the thread you are looking for.

As far as combat goes, Earth Glide is a lot like having permanent cover. It's really nice, but it's not going to destroy the system.

hm... what else would be a good granted ability for an Earth sphere, because I kind of want to take the Tremoursense elemental feat (assuming Mask's ok with that) and don't want a redundant ability... You could always throw in a burrow speed. Or an increased movement speed while on earth (think the...

There are four sets of ability scores generated somehow by Mask. Pick one and use it. Unless I'm mistaken they are in character sheet order, so Str first and so on.

10, 14, 16, 14, 12, 18
12, 16, 12, 10, 12, 16
14, 18, 14, 12, 14, 16
12, 10, 14, 14, 18, 16

Exciting - the game hasn't even started and we're already fighting. :D

Do you have a character sheet somewhere, Prak_Anima? You and GoA are the only two who haven't posted at least an outline of your character, so just wonderin'.

Non-standard bonus types, or as we like to call them around the offce: bullshit bonus types do not exist. No, you can't have a Sacred Bonus to your AC or an Insight Bonus to your skills. That stuff is straight up broken and will push characters right off the random number generator. If all of your ...

If we're playing this Monday, you'd need to have everything done and OK'd by then.

And no. The BoG limits you to eight items overall - so an item that consumes only one slot but does a big pile of stuff is considerably better than four items that each do a couple small things.

I think what uber is trying to say is that there is a specific injunction in the BoG against bullshit bonuses on items; if you want saves, get a 1/3 to saves item. If you want to pick up a spell on an item, it should provide the same type of bonuses that the basic enchantments would (like Protection...

They're the same thing. It's the same material reformated for the wiki.

Acid it is then. As long as somebody has healing covered, then all is well.

I'm got traps and party face covered. I can also pack quite a healthy punch at short range, so as long as we aren't fighting people from afar I can contribute to combat.

Would positive energy be a valid element for the Spellcard ability? It's terribly useless for killing things, but it would be a neat way to heal the party.

I cut back all of my items to +1/3 to whatever and one other ability each. Now they're more in line with what I see on other folks sheets, so it should hopefully all be good.

Fair enough. In that case, I wonder if Mask would let me play a slightly modified Empusa . I don't particularly want Tiresome or Refreshing (they don't really fit with a Empusa who has an upper planar bloodline anyways), and I also don't need the wings. If I could trade all that for +2 Cha instead I...

I take it that you are not a big fan of necromancers, ubernoob? Nothing wrong with having a few minions trailing, as long as you don't let them slow things down unduly or crowd out the important hitters. I do suppose it's harder when you're not working on an actual battle grid on a table, though. If...

I'm nearing completion on Aria Woodwhisper Ghaeleborn . Google ate my first attempt at writing a back-story, and I need to pass the amulet by Mask. I haven't done BoG magic items before, but here is the philosophy I've been using for Aria. Give an item one base effect (the ones listed, like +AC or +...

I'm surprised not to see some Knowledges on the skill list. You'd think shrine maidens would know a bit about religion, mages would know a bit about arcana, and so on. I do approve of leaving Diplomacy off the list, though. Bullet Mages do not solve problems by speaking! - they solve problems by pum...

Color me interested. I have a handful of different Tome builds rattling around my brain that have been waiting to get out.
