@Dasleah: The Paladin class is too morally-restricted to work well in a mercenary company. Paladins do what is right, and mercs do what pays best.

Could I play a fallen paladin/blackguard?

[Shoruke]

Working on my character sheet... I've worked up a few more questions 

HP is also being rolled, yes?
Multiclassing skill points... do the class skills from *all* your previous classes count as class skills, or only the class you're currently taking a level in?
Can I use the Daring Outlaw feat and the skill tricks from Complete Scoundrel?
Can I use the Born Under the Half Moon feat? (Dragon Magazine 340... Balance and Concentration +1, Expeditious Retreat as a spell-like 1/day, CL= character level, can also be found on CrystalKeep)

My powergaming Rules lawyering Spoil-sport senses are tingling. There are these queer urges driving me to make argument about how over-powered those example feats are. What is wrong with me?

I wouldn't be requesting them without a reason, RAM  Besides, even the most cheesed-out rogue would have a hard time coping with Druidzilla, don'tcha know. Besides which, I don't get enough feats to use all of this stuff... even with flaws.

No to flaws.

Flaws are a no, just reminding.

[Shoruke]

I know, but even if we had them, rogues don't exactly get a whole lot of bonus feats.

I remember this harmless little feat I came across, something about turn undead, called, ummm, oh, that's right, Divine Metamagic, completely harmless, you should let people use it, in fact, to balance it out, you should let multiple nightsticks and different types of turning work with it!

You sir, are registering strongly on my sarcasm-ometer. Incidentally, it's possible to get Divine Metamagic: Persist Spell at level 3, but it requires 18 charisma (or a Domain that gives turning checks, if your DM allows that).

Shonus, what are the chances of convincing you into bumping the starting ECL up to 7~9ish? My main campaign's been a rather low-level one and stayed that way a very long time - hoping for some additional firepower to play with.

[Lucus Casius]

I'll join in, if you don't mind having a person who has only ever played one session of D&D 3.5.

Full HP for first level, roll for each additional level.

Multiclassing skill points... do the class skills from *all* your previous classes count as class skills, or only the class you're currently taking a level in?

Use whatever the  RAW says.

Can I use the Daring Outlaw feat and the skill tricks from Complete Scoundrel?

I don't have that book.

Can I use the Born Under the Half Moon feat? (Dragon Magazine 340... Balance and Concentration +1, Expeditious Retreat as a spell-like 1/day, CL= character level, can also be found on CrystalKeep)

That's fine.


Retro, I'd like to get to know the players before they get to the high-powered levels. It makes designing missions easier.

[Lord Shonus]

I think I'll be running the first session sometime Thursday evening Eastern Time, probably around 8 pm. I'll post the IRC channel(s) to be used then.


Grek: Sorry I missed your question. I'd prefer not.

[Retro]

Thursday? Argh. That's the same time as my main campaign. I'll drop in another time, then.

[Shoruke]

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Daring Outlaw
You combine grace and stealth to deadly effect.
Prerequisite: Grace +1, sneak attack +2d6.
Benefit: Your rogue and swashbuckler levels stack for the
purpose of determining your competence bonus on Reflex
saves from the grace class feature and the swashbuckler’s
dodge bonus to AC. For example, a 7th-level rogue/4th-level
swashbuckler has grace +2 and gains a +2 dodge bonus to
AC, as if she were an 11th-level swashbuckler.
Your rogue and swashbuckler levels also stack for the
purpose of determining your sneak attack bonus damage.
For example, a 7th-level rogue/4th-level swashbuckler
would deal an extra 6d6 points of damage with her sneak
attack, as if she were an 11th-level rogue.

Sorry the format is weird, I guess the .pdf records the line breaks from wraparound text, which is bloody weird... but yeah, thar's tha feat. Also, for future reference, AFAICT the RAW say that if a skill is a class skill for any of your classes, it's a class skill for all of your classes.

[Lord Shonus]

Yeah, that should be fine.

If it's all right with everyone, I can move the first session to tomorrow instead of Thursday.

Works for me. Any recommended IRC clients? I don't keep up with which ones have which advantages and whatnot.

Standard roll (4d6, discard the lowest) for stats. 4000 GP + standard starting gold.

In case anyone else finds it a pain to go look it up, this makes our starting wealth 13,000 gp.

[Lord Shonus]

I use MIRC, but it doesn't matter which you use.
