Yaaay!

[Taricus]

And as a nice ((Slash nasty )) surprise, I have a sheet somewhat ready. Needs a little input to get done, but it's got the basics down!

Link! -> http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=741269

[Criptfeind]

So I made a Paladin/Ship-Of-The-Line. Going to act as a secondary melee combatant/healer (Potentially dipping into a buffing role later depending on party composition.)

Sheet as a ship
Sheet as a D&D character (The exact same as the ship obviously, but without the renaming of things so you can actually understand what is going on mechanically with my character.)

It's not quite finished, specifically it still needs a backstory and a inventory. Also whenever Dwarmin gets back I need to ask him if I can roll weapon familiarization before the game starts. If he says yes I will be trying that on bastard swords, and if he says no or I fail I will be getting long swords or possibly Scimitars. All three weapons are in the sheet currently because I can't decide.

I'm also certainly going to get a wand of cure light wounds with what's left of my starting cash, I think I will just barely be able to afford it since we have such a large starting bonus.

I'll play.

Would it be possible for me to make a Shadowbane Inquisitor Build? Dat Smite~

[Gamerlord]

Can someone give me pointers on doing the sheet? I can't figure out how to condense the two sheets I made into one.

[Criptfeind]

I would certainly be willing to help Gamerlord. But I can't actually access to your ships sheet. That said, it's certainly not hard.

The way I understand it is that currently you just make make a normal 3.5 (and all of the homerules) character. The "conversion" is just for fluff and currently has very few mechanical effects. Don't worry about what stats are coming from your pilot and what stats are coming from the ship.

[Gamerlord]

Oh, okay. Something that's been bothering me, what do weapons (sword, dagger, crossbow, etc) translate over to?

[Criptfeind]

The only guidelines for that are

Bludgeoning=Beam Weapons
Piercing=Mass Drivers
Slashing=Missiles and Rockets

Which is obviously a pretty light hand. Presumably at some point it will be slightly more codified but honestly ether way it does not mechanically matter, so just make up a name that sounds cool and go with it.

[Gamerlord]

Alright. Thanks!

[Remuthra]

Essentially, your weapons are now the cannons of your ship. Instead of melee, we have close-range weapons. Flavor exactly what they are and how they work as you want.

As far as your combination goes, the ship gets your physical stats and the skills associated with them, while your captain gets the mental section. Most of the sheet will focus on the ship.

Cript. isn't the Bastard Sword an exotic weapon when wielded in one hand?

[GreatWyrmGold]

Yes, it is.

[GiglameshDespair]

Sounds interesting. I'm scrape up a sheet.

Crypt, could you link me to info on Goliaths and Large build feat? A google search didn't really bring up anything but a homebrew feat for Powerful Build, because that seems like a hugely powerful thing to have.

Spoiler: Goliath Traits (click to show/hide)

Goliath Racial Traits

+4 Strength, -2 Dexterity, +2 Constitution: Goliaths are massively muscled, but their bulk sometimes gets in the way when they're trying to be nimble.

Goliath base land speed is 30 feet.

Medium: As Medium creatures, goliaths have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size. However, see the powerful build ability description below for more details.

Monstrous Humanoid: As monstrous humanoids, goliaths are proficient with all simple weapons, but they have no proficiency with any armor or shield.

Powerful Build: The physical stature of a goliath lets him function in many ways as if he were one size category larger. Whenever a goliath is subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for an opposed check (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), the goliath is treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to him. A goliath is also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature's special attacks based on size (such as improved grab or swallow whole) can affect him. A goliath can use weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty. However, his space and reach remain those of a creature of his actual size. The benefits of this racial trait stack with the effects of powers, abilities, and spells that change the subject's size category.

Mountain Movement: Because goliaths practically live on the ledges and cliffs of the most forbidding mountains, they are particularly adept at negotiating mountain hazards. Goliaths can make standing long and high jumps as if they were running long and high jumps. A goliath can engage in accelerated climbing (climbing half his speed as a move action) without taking the -5 penalty on the Climb check.

Acclimated: Goliaths are automatically acclimated to life at high altitudes. They don't take the penalties for altitude described in the Mountain Travel section on page 90 of the Dungeon Master's Guide. Unlike other denizens of the mountains, goliaths don't lose their acclimation to high altitude even if they spend months or years at lower elevations.

+2 bonus on Sense Motive checks: When speaking to one another, goliaths tend to augment their verbal communication with subtle body language. They are likewise able to "read" the unintentional body language of others.

Automatic Languages: Common and Gol-Kaa. Bonus languages: Dwarven, Giant, Gnoll, Terran.

Favored Class: Barbarian. A multiclass goliath's barbarian class does not count when determining whether he takes an experience point penalty (see the XP for Multiclass Characters section on page 60 of the Player's Handbook). The tribal life of the goliaths produces many barbarians.

Level Adjustment: +1.

Powerful Build happens to be my all-time favorite racial feature .

[GiglameshDespair]

Damn, that's powerful.

[Remuthra]

Indeed.
