1. How are the levels distributed between your classes?
2. Why aren't you taking levels in Mystic Theurge? It seems like the obvious way to advance this character. Cleric 4/wizard 4/ mystic theurge 2 has caster level 6 in each class, better than the 5 you'd get levelling each class individually. And you easily fill the prerequisites.
4. A quarterstaff +5 is worth 50k on its own. Does "Staff +5" mean something else?'

edit:
also, you stats do not add up. You skill points are consistent with starting at Int 18 and putting both level-based stat boosts into Int. However, starting at Int 18 costs 16 points. Your other stats are worth:
Str:2
Dex:4
Con:6
Wis:10
Chr:0
Which adds up to 22. 16 + 22 = 38.

+5 is my bonus to hit,
I'm a sunElf so I get +2 to intelegence as opposed to dexsterity. So I put only ten points into intelegence.
You are right about the mystic theurge, I ment to put that in their and I guess I forgot.

Raxmei · Post by **Raxmei** » 2005-07-28 02:29pm

Right, I see. That makes 34 stat points with a racial +2 int -2 con.

Holy shit, 3edb has a fuckload of stats to enter, and I don't know half of them. I'd use Redblade, but it doesn't have stats for Metalline or Prestige Classes. Any advice?

Utsanomiko · Post by **Utsanomiko** » 2005-07-28 04:48pm

I've got most of my character's stats here:

Blublo Phillippei, Gnomish Paladin

That only includes his sword and +2 ring in terms of items, and I only filled in a few indirect fields like AC and hitpoints; the rest should be determinable by someone with easy-access to 3ed material via that main stats I've filled in. I want to add a few more items soon (armor and the rest of his equipment, survival gear, food, +dex or reflex gloves, etc), but I think everything else done on my part should suffice.

Also, even though I have Blublo listed as a follower of Gaerdal Ironhand, as are most Paladins of House Phillippei and the noble members of the family, it's a bit more complicated than that. While their beliefs technically fit it under Gaerdal, their methods are quite atypical and their behavior unintentionally buffoonish. The real dilemma is they don't draw a connection between their gods and the 'noble mandate' which they uphold, instead they consider themselves empowered by the righteousness of their benevolent calling towards those in need *in of itself*.
Basically, while Gaerdal takes this 90-member group to be mildly annoying and perplexing, Garl Glittergold finds it hilarious; House Phillippei's powers are granted by The Watchful Protector himself on Geardal's behalf (probably in the same manner of the rest of Garl's followers, which I presume would provide House Phillippei with spells and blessings distinctly of Garl, regardless of which of the two deities they generally follow). Their martial structure and combat abilities are greatly modeled after the Helmites.

I seem to have the most generic character out of the lot of you.

Start small, I suppose.

Hrm. How many of you will come at me with torches if I start all over again?

Torches and Pitchforks standing by.

You may riot when ready.

Don't worry, I'm sticking with my paranoid Dwarf. In fact, I think I'll join him in being paranoid.

3edb progress: I've just entered my Feats, and I'm starting on Gear.

To move from character information to timing.

Fridays won't be too good for me, particularly when I head back to school. Saturdays or Sundays would probably be better.

Captain tycho · Post by **Captain tycho** » 2005-07-28 05:51pm

I'm fine with any of them, probably even a weekday too, if its at night.

Utsanomiko · Post by **Utsanomiko** » 2005-07-28 06:03pm

Yeah, I'd prefer the weekend as well over Friday nights.

Raxmei · Post by **Raxmei** » 2005-07-28 06:09pm

I'm usually away on weekends, but I was probably going to quit anyway.

Not at all. There's Hajama, Hakiyah, Haku, Jisan, Kor, Najm, Selan, Zann, Jauhar, Bala, the Temple of Ten Thousand Gods, Vataqatal, the Savage Gods (Kiga, Lotha, Migal, Shajar, and Raggara), the Gods of the Crowded Sea (the Drummer, Kar'r'rga, the Lost One, and Pag), the Wild Gods (the Beast and the Faceless God), the Cold Gods of the Elements (Akadi, Grumbar, Istishia, and Kossuth), and the Ajami Gods, who are northern deities brought south (mostly Gond, Helam [Helm], and Clang). Speaking of which, Najm would make an interesting deity for an archer to follow...curses, now I'm pondering again

Okay, the time is tentatively set at 10pm EST, Saturday night. Also, if you haven't done so yet, download OpenRPG here: www.openrpg.com

Lev Timolo lives!
Almost wrapped up with mine just need to top off equipment and I should be good to go.

Oh and on the Name, Timolo was a Russian Political martyer and Lev happens to be Trotsky's old childhood name.

Time there 10Pm, Time here 6AM, all depends on what watch that is. I get off at 6AM or get on at 6AM which means this Saterday 6AM is a no-go but next is just fine.

Ford Prefect · Post by **Ford Prefect** » 2005-07-28 07:54pm

Cool. One o'clock on a Sunday afternoon (I think). I can certainly work with that.

Ford Prefect · Post by **Ford Prefect** » 2005-07-28 08:13pm

Very nice Mr Bean. I was going to do that, but felt daunted. I should really get on to it.

The Dark · Post by **The Dark** » 2005-07-28 08:57pm

Not to piss Bean off or anything, but I'm going to be doing a name change on the character to better fit his background. The name I had him under was from a different setting, and doesn't really fit the concept I have of him now.

edit: Oh, PCM, don't worry too much about spot and listen. I'm expecting to be somewhat of a scout for the party, since I have +14 to both skills, and +26 to hide and move silently.

Pcm979 · Post by **Pcm979** » 2005-07-28 08:58pm

Wait, what's the EST/GMT difference again? You're 5 hours behind, right? Hence 6 hours behind me, at GMT +1? Dude, I am *not* getting up at 4am on a weekend unless I'm paid.

Raxmei · Post by **Raxmei** » 2005-07-28 10:25pm

That's 7pm saturday for me. I am almost invariably out of town at that time, so you can count me out.
Heh, you just might get the group down to a manageable size.

No no, we're just conspiring against you.

3am? I think I'll call this one a miss.

Keep in mind, it's not set in stone. I'm very open for time suggestions, but 10pm is probably the most convinient times for me (babies are sleeping, housework is all done, and I'll have plenty of time on my hands for the next 6 hours).

Pcm979 · Post by **Pcm979** » 2005-07-29 07:28pm

I'm going to have to opt out too. I'm usually up from GMT 11 am to GMT 2 am, though.
