Take it.

I have done - both the wand and your 5GP. Thank you.

If anyone else wants to contribute 10 or 20GP that would be nice, then Ari could get those nice shiny Silent Shoes he wants and maybe even a Thieving Helmet.

Er, looking back over the thread, we aren't actually ready to start. My bad. I still need a sheet from HarbingerJim. After that, though, we really can start.

Also, sorry for the delay in writing even this post.

Huh... Okay then. So we're going to levels 7-9 with very little downtime [making crafting undesireable]. Fair enough. Do we know what sort of enemies we'll be facing? Any other specific info we might need?

What you know is that kobolds, orcs, goblins, and the like tend to settle in the Undercroft of the city, causing a nuisance, making raiding runs, and breaking steam pipes. Several of the places in the Undercroft the beasts reside in have passages down to an expansive cavern system, known fairly creatively as the Caverns. Rumors say that Gods, demons, and worse live down there. Others say that whatever force forms the government of Aretrian is down there as well. Others still say that it's a big, barren hole. Those last people are generally referred to as overly skeptical killjoys.

Hm, alrighty. How uh... How steam-punky is this? Or is it just guns and steam pipes?

There's a number of various, more mundane applications. Though no entirely useful designs have been made, work is ongoing in the realm of airships. Steam is also used for some basic motors, often used in pulley systems, fortified doors, and the very occasional crude vehicle. There are a number of other uses for them, but they aren't very common, nor are they important to adventuring. Most of it is just window dressing, to be honest.

[Nerjin]

Hm.... Okay then. I have a thing about Steampunk. Don't usually care for it much. Anyways, I'm really looking forward to this starting up.

Food poisoning sucks.

Going Wild Shape ranger also gives me Barbarian Fast Movement, which is the trade-out requirement for the Spiritual Totem Barbarian ACF from Complete Champion. Would taking that trade be acceptable, or would I need an actual Barbarian level to do so? Either way works, I guess, it'll just likely mean slightly different engagement tactics.

This has become relevant to my character again. To explain:
ACFs are Alternate Class Features. They are abilities you can swap out for abilities your class would normally be granted.
There are several ACFs for Ranger that take away various Class Features and give Fast Movement (as Barbarian) in their place.
There are several ACFs for Barbarian that take away Fast Movement and give something else in their place.
Would it be possible to, as a Ranger, take an Alternate Class Feature that gives Barbarian Fast Movement (instead of something else, like Combat Style or Spellcasting), then take an ACF that trades away Barbarian Fast Movement for something else?

[GiglameshDespair]

Which totem are you wanting, anyway?

[lawastooshort]

Speaking of which, how do I find this substitute level?

Gnome Bard RoS
1st level: Gnome cantrips is fair trade, you'd probably get those anyway. Counter fear is surprisingly good, as skill checks are easily optimized. If you are found fighting creatures that usually use fear effects, this is a good song. It replaces countersong, which is a bad idea anyway.

Not entirely sure what it involves but am interested in replacing countersong as general advice is it is useless. Or just keep it to keep things simple for me.

-snip-

Ah. Well, then, I'd have to say no. I would think that you'd actually have at least one level in a class to trade out its features for other things, even if you do already have said features.. I can't find any official sources supporting nor contradicting me, though, so I could be horribly off target here.

Your Fort save must suck.

Nyuck Nyuck Nyuck! Whoop whoop whoop! *slips on banana peel*

At best it seems we're playing in...what, pre-industrial? I didn't hear any mention of disembodied brain in jars being mounted on steam-mechs, so we should be OK.

What do you have against Steam anyway?

[lawastooshort]

Thanks Dwarmin! My sheet is all done, unless someone wants to give me 10GP so I can get some soft slippers for sneaking in.
