We've been using 70 for maptool, and the link to the hamachi we're using is on the first post, I think. Most everyone is level 11, but I'm not sure how much gold you get. As far as characters, this is what we have. (In case you want to decide your character based on the party's current makeup)
cool, I have v70 of maptool downloaded now.
I followed the link from the first post, and it took me to a knowledge base index page. When I clicked on the download link to the side, it presented me with two options to download, one for a centralized thing, one for a decentralized thing (from what I can tell, that's the difference)
Anyway, I sort of have an idea what I want to play... uses some stuff out of Complete warrior, but I'm also considering another class if I can figure out which book I saw the darn thing in.
--edit--
Haha, it turns out the prestige classes I was thinking of were all in the Complete Warrior book- the only feat I am looking at outside of the core and complete warrior is practiced spellcaster (grants +4 to caster level of one spellcasting class, but cannot increase base caster level beyond HD. Complete Arcane, p82)
I'm looking at three combinations;
Wizard 9/Master of the Unseen Hand 1
Fighter 5/Order of the Bow Initiate 5
some combination for Arcane Archer that I haven't thought about too much yet
and, technically, a 4th option that's a fighter specializing in dirty tricks (weapon focus guisarme, improved trip, combat reflexes, etc...) it's my understanding that an attack of opportunity from moving out of a threatened square occurs before the movement actually occurs, so an enemy closing to melee range through my threatened area would provoke and I would be able to attack before they moved within my reach
the first and tentative 4th are basically crowd control, adn the two ranged are, of course, ranged high damage
