Is there room for one more person to join? I was hoping I could jump in.

@Araph: From what I understand, we're taking everyone we who wants to play and can make the sessions. :P

@Araph: If you have a character by Friday I don't see why not.
@Dwarmin: Trying to decide a 3rd level spell for my FMM/Sorcerer. What do you think about Blink? It would be good for Tali since while under its effect, she attacks as an invisible creature (meaning every attack is a sneak attack) but it also has a 20% miss chance every time she attacks. (It's got other good benefits too, though.) If you don't want me to take that I'll probably just grab Bigby's Pimp Slap Disrupting Hand instead.

@SC: It'd be great for Tali, but I'm looking at the spell thingy and it says it's only a personal spell, so Tali couldn't use it. :/

I'd have to do with potions of blur, and I actually have a few of those on my character right now. I could see it surely being used as a defensive cooldown for you though.

As for BDH, it seems useful-especially if we can combo it with curse, crushing despair or some such, that lowers the enemy skill checks...

She has Bestow Curse, too. :3 I didn't see the Personal thing when I asked, but you can brew potions of spells up to 3rd level, right? If I took a potion-crafting feat and Blink then could I make Blink potions and sell them to Tali at a reduced cost? :D

4:00 PM EST translates to... 1:00 PM PST, right? School would make me be consistently two hours late, in that case. That might not work out so well...

@SC: That's just it-I'm not sure personal effect spells can be brewed into potions. Might want a DM ruling on that.

@Araph: Well, that's not good to hear...

All it says is the spell has to target at least one creature. It doesn't say it can't be the caster. :\ However, I think you can, because I'm pretty sure that restriction is in there so people don't do something like brew potions of Animate Rope or something like that. Eh, oh well. I'll just go with the hand.

No DM ruling needed. 

Raw says...

The drinker of a potion is both the effective target and the caster of the effect
meaning spells with 'personal' can be used.

Animate Rope is not a potion, but an oil.

Also, you don't need to take Brew Potion feat. Hire a brewer and just provide the spell.

@Araph
Aww, too bad to hear :(
Still, if you want to, you can just hop in late...

@SerCon
I like the spell Bigsby's Expressive Single Didgit ;P

If hopping in late would be a valid option, I'd still like to make a character and play.

@Araph
Yup, Elf always has to go after 1~2 hours and shoruke is usually 1 hour late.

For character rules, start at lvl 9 and add the amount of xp on the OP. Should make you 11th level or 12th level.

I never really said, but apparently it is 32-point buy ;3

Our current roster is as such:

1 NPC Cleric
1 Favored Soul
1 Windblade (Very fast damage dealer)
1 tank (Was it a Blackguard or something?)
1 Spirit Shaman, similiar to a druid
1 Spirit Detective, diplomacy
1 Monk
1 Doppelganger & rogue?
1 Paladin
1 Rogue

At one time, usually 6 characters play, including the cleric.

Sweet, I'll start making a character, then!

I was thinking about playing a pure wizard, but I have a question about level adjustments: are we able to use these rules to eliminate LA?

Wizard ? o_O Huh...

As for LA, I do not think myself the most qualified to comment on level adjustments and stuff >.>
I don't even understand what it is... Maybe Shoruke or Fool willshed some light on this subject.

Is there a reason I shouldn't make a wizard?

Normally with LA, your effective character level is the sum of your class levels plus your LA; with this other system you can basically lose a level to reduce your LA by one. The table on that page shows what levels you lose to get rid of LA. For example, a drow character would start at level 7 instead of 9 (since they have an LA of 2).

Uhh.. No, I was just thinking that our party is finally normalized :P

We started with three rogues and a barbarian, see.
