Please elaborate on how Synric works.

It is basically a chatroom. You don't have to sign up for anything, just stick in a name and the room then press "login". It allows a person to sign on as multiple names at once, which is uesful, but it is otherwise not good.

I am using it because A) PBP does not work well for DnD and B) I am not familiar enough with virtual tabletop or similar programs to run a game on it. If you have a good idea, I'd like to hear it as playing DnD over irc is not the greatest way to do it.

Ok I am not a very good writer but I made a small back story for Urten. Also I changed his feats to fit better (coff more powers coff).

-snip-

Background is better than advertised. Welcome aboard!. Remember that you have to PM me a copy or link for whatever splatbooks and suplements you're using. My copy of Liber Mortis is 128 miles away right now!

[Criptfeind]

I shall find a good source for a Libris Mortis PDF but in the mean time the feats I got from it.

Spoiler: Stitched Flesh Familiar Feat (click to show/hide)

My raven is now Weird (have not put up the new stat block) basically it looks weird and I lose the appraise bonus for a +4 total HD of max undead under my control. Not that i plan to use that 4HD but it gives me two things, one a reason Urten was kicked out, two I plan to spell stitch it eventually (give it minor spell like abilitys. basically it can cast low level spells a couple times a day, but that is a long way off.)

Spoiler: Mother cyst Feat (click to show/hide)

Ahhh the Mother cyst feat. I grow a small sack of dead flesh in my body allowing me to cast certain spells there is one cyst spell per level. (lvl 2 has 2)

Spoiler: Necrotic Awareness 1 (click to show/hide)

I can sense things that have Necrotic cryts

Spoiler: Necrotic cyst 2 (click to show/hide)

I can put I can put Necrotic cryts in people, hard to remove, makes necromancy and undead hit them harder

Spoiler: Necrotic scrying 2 (click to show/hide)

can scry on people that have cysts

Spoiler: Necrotic Bloat 3 (click to show/hide)

The Necrotic cyst in some one expands hurting them, half of this damage is hard to heal.

Spoiler: Necrotic Domination 4 (click to show/hide)

Works as dominate person, see page 224 of player's handbook. they need a cyst in them for it to work

Spoiler: Necrotic Bust 5 (click to show/hide)

Basically the same as Necrotic Bloat, higher max damg and if they die free willed undead made out of their guts pop out and start rolling around. If they fail save they die.

Spoiler: Necrotic Eruption 6 (click to show/hide)

Basically the same as Necrotic Bloat, higher max damg and if they die free willed undead made out of their guts pop out and start rolling around. If they fail save they die. Also they explode damaging and implanting cysts in others.

Spoiler: Necrotic Tumor 7 (click to show/hide)

If they succeed the saving throw I can suggest actions but they will not do something that is  harmful like stabbing them self (same wording as other dominating spells), if they fail full on brain tumor, non-magic full control, If I try to do this to a party member I should die. just saying.

Spoiler: Necrotic Empowerment 8 (click to show/hide)

 one round per lvl I get +8 to Dex, Wis, Int, and AC. +5 to Fort saves +100 temp HP. cant cast any of the other spells on this list.

Spoiler: Necrotic Terminaion 9 (click to show/hide)

Basically the same as Necrotic Bloat, higher max damg and if they die free willed undead made out of their guts pop out and start rolling around. If they fail save they die and the soul is gone, no magic can bring it back not even wish or miracle. 1000 XP to cast

As you can see they are quite overpowered, but I do have to touch whoever want to put a cyst in.

Also sorry if my grammar/sense is bad I am a bit over tired.

Damn, it is hard to find a good place for PDFs any one got any idea where i could find such a place? Eh if not i can just type the rules in but I am basically lazy at this time of day.

[Grek]

@Evil Alignment: Assuming nobody wants to play a paladin, it shouldn't matter. I am planning to use the "Crawling Darkness" and "A Worthy Opponent" writeups for Negative Energy and Evil respectively. Basically, using Negative Energy makes you evil and being evil makes you act like skeletor.

@Refugee Background: Depends. You can't have "Refugee from The War", unless you've been living somewhere else for a while now. You could also just make up a background, like so:

Run Out of Town
For whatever reason, you used to live somewhere and then you were chased out because the townspeople did not approve of something you did. Maybe you were a heathen, or maybe you performed experiments that were not strictly ethical. Either way, you are not welcome back and you
Effects: You may treat one knowledge of choice as a class skill and begin play knowing one additional language. This language need not be an available bonus language for her race. You are considered a persona non gratia to some organization, and they might try to screw you over if you run into them.

@Feats: Stiched Flesh Familiar is fine, just be sure to take the required three spells known from the necromancy school at character creation. Mother Cyst feat is allowed, on the proviso that you can locate the stat blocks for the spells and you qualify for the feat. Necrotic Empowerment will need to be suitibly nerfed, as +8 to 3 stats is too much. The rest is fine, assuming the save or die spells have the same DC as other save or die spells of their level.

I do not know where you could obtain a copy of Liber Mortis online for free legally and would be highly disappointed if you did so illegally. I would recomend just typing it out, ditching the feat, or having me write you up a feat that does the same thing.

Range: Medium
Target: Living creature with necrotic cyst
Duration: one day/level or permanent
Saving throw: Fortitude partial
Spell Resistance:No

If the subject succeeds his saving throw you may still influences him by suggesting a course of activity. (limited to a sentence or two.) The instructions must be worded in a way to make them sound reasonable. asking the subject to do some obviously harmful act automatically negates the instruction. the instructed course of activity can last the entire duration. if the activity can be finished in a shorter amount of time the instruction ends when the subject finishes what he was asked to do. you can instead specify conditions that trigger a activity, if the conditions are not meet before the duration is complete the activity is not carried out.

If the subject fails his saving throw you gain complete control over the actions of the subject permanently. you do not know what the subject is experiencing and you share no special link with him. if a common language is shared you can force the subject to preform as you desire. if no common language is shared you can only give basic commands such as "come here" "go there" "fight" and "stand still" the subject may resist this control but the presence of a necrotic tumor on its brain stem ensures their loyalty. protection from evil or similar spells do not protect the subject from your commands, the tumor is already inside of him.

The focus component is the Mother cyst from the Mother cyst feat.

Spoiler: Vile damage (click to show/hide)

Vile damage can only be healed by magic cast within a area of a consecrate or hallow spell (or a place that is naturally consecrated or hallowed).

Also do you mind me being evil MrRoboto?

[MrRoboto75]

Make whatever character you want, that looks interesting.

[Criptfeind]

Time to pick my spells. I get 5 so I think I will go for:

Sobering Skeletal Stillness
Color spray
Mage Armor
Identify

From Complete arcane if they are allowed:

Spoiler: Orb of Electricity, lesser (click to show/hide)

Conjuration (creation)[Electricity]
Level:Sor/Wiz 1 Warmage 1
Components:V, S
Casting time: 1 standard action
Range: Close
Effect: One orb of electricity
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving throw: None
Spell resistance: No

1d8 electricity damage. for every two caster levels after 1st the damage goes up by 1d8 to a max of 5d8 at level nine.

There is also Fire, acid, cold, and sonic (but sonic only does 1d6) if anyone thinks I would be better off with some other orb.

Make whatever character you want, that looks interesting.

Ok thanks. I would not want to inconvenience anyone by making a evil char. (So if any of you that have not signed in want to play a good char I will change my guy. Just letting you know.)

[CJ1145]

I could probably come up with something, but if it's all right I'll come up with a backstory as I go. I have a basic idea involving a genie and some elk, but I'd like to get a better idea of how this world works before I finalize anything.

[Criptfeind]

I am not familiar enough with virtual tabletop or similar programs to run a game on it. If you have a good idea, I'd like to hear it as playing DnD over irc is not the greatest way to do it.

We can try game table, at least one other Dnd game on these forums are using it and liking it. I just downloaded it and it seems easy to use.

Best of all it is free.

@Criptfeind:
Necrotic Eruption is now an eight level spell, is uncapped, and does 100% vile damage. Necrotic Empowerment is now a sixth level spell which behaves as the spell Transformation except that it gives a bonus to Int and Wis instead of Str and Con, doesn't give BaB and only blocks cyst spells. All other spells are unchanged. What is the focus for those spells?

@MrRoboto75: Standard Toughness is a terrible feat and is a trap option. As such, it gives you +3hp per level instead of +3 hp one time. Also, I like kobolds. Welcome aboard!

@CJ1145: Perfectly acceptable. A character who reveals his background as the story progresses can be an interesting addition to the party. If you have questions, feel free to PM me about them.

@Gametable: I will try that out. Trip report in T-minus 24 hours.

Crud I forgot about the focus, it is Mother cyst that you get for taking the Mother cyst feat. Also all cyst spells are Necromantic [Evil] I forgot to put that in.

Ok they should be fixed.

[Grek]

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Test run of gametable. Is that what it is supposed to look like?

[CJ1145]

Yes, but you really shouldn't have shown me that picture. I am now dead-set on working an ODST into this campaign.

[Grek]

You are in luck. Assuming you don't start on Astral or Earth, you will be very likely to drop in from orbit onto someone. I even have house rules for making impact craters.

[Grek]

Fairly sure We will use Gametable.

@MrRoboto75: Familar type and choice of plane?

@Everyone: If you would all pick out a pog for your character, that would be lovely. Also, we need at least 1 more person.
