My past is fairly specific as to who my character would hate.

He'd hate two groups, the goblinoids, and another you'll probably find out over time.
Also, these aren't DF kobolds, these are lizard-like ones.

Little gremlin like evil creatures that use wimpy tactics to kill you? Similar enough.

Honestly racism knows no bounds. There is no reason why even with that "specific reason" that he couldn't have also developed a very focus hate for similar creatures.

and a bow that causes 1d6+4 damage,

I already told GiH about it, but you don't add Dex to ranged damage.

[Cthulhu]

Attack rolls, not damage rolls.  You get your dex bonus to hit, but not to damage.

[Girlinhat]

Yeah, I keep getting confused there.  Attack rolls should be called 'accuracy rolls' to make sense to me.  So dex makes you more accurate, but doesn't change your damage.  If you invest in a composite bow, however, you CAN add your str modifier to ranged attacks.

Or just use throwing weapons of some type. Pick up quick draw, use the ranger's special feats to get two weapon fighting, and throw chakrams or some other cheap light throwing weapon two or more at a time. Pew pew pew! And strength bonus is applied automatically.


Heh, I just imagined an adventurer with like 8 attacks per round, carrying 40 pounds of chakrams on his person just so he can attack for 10 rounds. Would a mass of metal rings hanging all over you count as armor?

[Cthulhu]

Actual chakrams were carried on pointed hats.  I feel like a fighter would be a better option, some kinjd of ascetic warrior from a faraway land

[Naryar]

yeah i just am realizing how incredibly awesome clerics are. Guidance ? +1 on any attack, saving throw or skill roll, and it's an orison so i can cast it indefinitely. Which is good before throwing a javelin or checking for traps, although I'm pretty sure Gorum won't be pleased if I use it too much for noncombat tasks though.

Bless ? +1 to attack for the whole party for 1 minute.

Channel energy ? It's the near equivalent of 6 Cure Light Wounds.

Not to mention my two special abilities that get +1 to damage or +1 to attack for 1 round, and I can use each 6 times per day. Only gets better with levels.

I'm going to buff a damn lot.

[Neonivek]

The healing domain for Clerics is SUPER powerful and almost almighty.

The Strength domain is cool too to a certain extent.

I have Strength and War, which is around 100% buff in the first levels and then gives me quite a bit of offense and utility after 10 levels.

[Neonivek]

I should state that the strength domain only works for strength checks...

It is pretty disapointing but it does mean that once per day you could actually bend the bars of your jail cell.

Might of the Gods is a bit disappointing yes, but still Strength Surge + Battle Rage make a good combo.

Then it only gets stronger at higher levels. With Righteous Might and Divine Power... holy shit.

After the first session, presumably.  There's nothing to write until then.  I was going to make a chronicle of the session and lay out the options facing the party, then the audience can shout obscenities about what to do.  I hadn't considered making it a journal of each character, be tough to get 6 people to post their characters like that I think   But GM's chronicle would include basics of how each player handled each thing.

I've been lurking in this thread trying to learn as much as I can about D&D since I've joined a game IRL and you guys have made me want my next game to be Pathfinder, so good job.

This is actually the direction I'm going with the character I'm playing now. He started out going in the direction of composite longbow + ranged feats but he's better in melee than most of the rest of the group so I need to tweak him to be closer to the action. I've found a surprising number of 3.5e builds based around throwing something ridiculous like 20 daggers a round and hitting for 176d6 damage.

[Naryar]

So it's tomorrow 4pm according to this forum's hour ?

I'll be able to be here for 2 hours no problem, but probably not for more than 4 hours, because I live in France.

Shouldn't be a problem next week though.

also i think i'm gonna go Resistance/Guidance/Stabilize for orisons, and Bless/Magic Weapon/Cure Light Wounds for first level spells.

[Cthulhu]

I have guidance as one of my cantrips, and can cast it infinitely.  Since I don't know all of my Cantrips and you can, would you want to prepare a different one to give us more even coverage?
