Fine, I shall switch to token #7 from set 16.

Perhaps we could homebrew a spell that allows me to inscribe spells at a hugely accelerated rate? Perhaps a level 2 or 3 spell. Or perhaps I could have an Unseen Servant scribe spells for me (from scrolls)?

Failing that, I'd either have to dichotomize between wizard or cleric but not both, or else play with a self-imposed challenge wherein I learn only the spells from my wizard domain when I get the ability to cast spells of a new level, and I'd have to powergame like crazy to keep up with the group (or else focus on my cleric-ness). Of course, if I take a level in plain wizard, or another class/PrC that advances spellcasting, then I can still learn spells of the new levels... might be interesting. Human Paragon and Magical Trickster (complete scoundrel, page 45) suddenly seem more important...

Anyway, I'll post my obligatory wall of text tomorrow morning. Here's my sheet, which is a work in progress (haven't *quite* finished deciding his starting spell list, and I haven't picked his feats or spent very much of his money, and I haven't typed out his backstory yet)

I'm willing to let Mystic Theurges gain spells known at new levels, as they're not really that strong a class.

MAD is a bitch.

Zergling: You've overpriced your guantlet. You've got an extra 1k to spend. And it actually deals 1d8+3 damage.

I think I'll go for Pack 18, CityGuardsFace_5. Conveniently he is only carrying a shield and the armours about right. It just needs metallic gray skin, a few spikes, and a gray tint on the shield.

I'll take bg 3_09.

Not what I would have picked exactly but it's the best out of the lot so I'll go with it. The hair isn't the right color and it looks like he is about to fall over but oh well.

Which pack? There are 20 to choose from, and I know I've seen a couple that would make good fits for your character.

Thanks for making the token. The spikes are good, except for the head spikes which should be going back, not forward. That's just a personal gripe though. I'll just photoshop it so the face sort of matches the portrait I'm sketching. The shield was done better than I would have done.

Kaliche can't remember his parents; he was orphaned, and was raised at a church for most of his childhood life. Eventually, though, he got sick of the pretentious, self-righteous worshippers of Pelor, and instead went to a church of Boccob, where he actually learned things. Things about magic, and how to use it. He displayed quite a knack for magic; he wasn't the most powerful divine caster in his age group, but he could pick all of it up SO fast! However, he eventually became disillusioned towards the gods in general; aren't they just powerful mortals who die by lack of prayers instead of by swords? If our spells come from the gods, how do agnostic clerics cast any magic at all? Kaliche learned the spells, and the rites, and the texts from the priests of Boccob, but the only part he cared about knowing was the magic.

Kaliche completed the basic training of a nonmilitant cleric; his only redeeming physical qualities were a lack of outward ugliness and his ability to stay up late studying, and besides which, he had no taste for armor. Too heavy, and too clunky. Soon, he found his way to a school of magic. With very few scholarship opportunities available to him, he paid his way through school by working as a librarian; in addition to getting lots of reading done, he also learned how to take better care of his books, and how to repair them.

Kaliche finished his basic wizard studies in nearly record time; after all, he had practice manipulating magic from his clerical training. But he decided that, instead of continuing with his studies at school, he would continue to learn his magic through practical application, and signed on with an adventuring group of scholars who were investigating some ruins.

The group was a ragtag bunch of misfits, but the mis-est fit of them all was a Spiker named, appropriately, Grapple. He was apparently some kind of monk, whose fighting style revolved around rushing up to anyone who needed to die, and pinning them to the ground while goring them open with the spikes protruding from his body. With Kaliche's diversified magic to back him up, the pair were able to methodically deal with any monsters they encountered. And Kaliche's power and knowledge continued to grow.

After that first mission, Kaliche and Grapple were paid handsomely for their help, while the rest of the scholars settled down to review their findings. The pair remained friends, and have since joined up with another group of adventurers, and the group has come upon this curious map...

The Fool and I commiserated on our backstories

Also, 15 AC isn't exactly a hell of a lot, but if I have time to prepare, I can buff myself up to 22 in 2 rounds...
Lastly, Kaliche's sheet is done. I think.

Akigagak · « **Reply #189 on:** February 10, 2011, 01:07:50 pm »

Kaliche?

Now we just need Enson, Nernas, and Calladskrina.

Nice job on the token. I like it.

Anyway, we seem to have quite a varied group alignment wise. Both good and evil characters, both lawful and chaotic. It'll be an interesting dynamic, I look forward to seeing how we all interact. Assuming we all get to play.

Shoruke · « **Reply #191 on:** February 10, 2011, 01:53:46 pm »

I like that token better than the one I picked, so it all works out

EDIT: also, I gave Kaliche a trait and wrote his personality on his sheet, for the final fluff.
EDIT²: the characters section in the OP could use updating, since my sheet is available and The Fool's character has a different name than the one listed...
EDIT³: Heh, I just noticed that The Fool's character is lawful evil, vs. my chaotic good. I guess we're friends based solely on the combat buddies thing

The Fool · « **Reply #192 on:** February 10, 2011, 03:02:57 pm »

Actually the alignments can have little bearing on friendships. Grapple's lawful evil because of his sadism, and greed but won't break the laws to do it. So pretty much if your friends or helping him you'll have no problems in general.

Also can I use Shoes, Silent from the Arms and Equipment book (p.24)? It grants +1 to move silently checks.

EDIT: I'll keep the token you made, but the face spikes still bug me a little.

Realmfighter · « **Reply #193 on:** February 10, 2011, 04:53:26 pm »

I changed it from Chaotic Evil to Neutral Evil because I like killing things, but I'm not stupid.

Solifuge · « **Reply #194 on:** February 11, 2011, 01:19:47 am »

Okay, character sheet is almost done. For reference, I want to roll a Knight/Favored Soul with an Animal Cohort as a mount, but had a few build-related questions before I finish my sheet.

1) EDIT: I saw that you allow 1 trait and no flaws. Can I instead take no trait and 1 flaw? If so, I'd like to use Inattentive or Short Attention Span. The later is nice and flavorful, while also imposing a reasonable limitation.

2) I'd like to use the Prestige Paladin PrC. It was published before the Favored Soul, though, and isn't designed to accommodate their lack of Turning ability as a class feature. Can I prestige into this PrC without the Turn Undead requirement? Also, can I apply the Paladin's Special Mount feature to my feat-granted Animal Cohort? The main effects would be increased HD/AC, INT/STR, and spell-sharing. If you consider that too cheesy, could I trade the feature to get Celestial Mount for it instead?
