D&D4e OoC

[Esper]

Those who do not show up or flake without a good reason will be removed from the game. I have no time for flakes in the interest of fairness to those who show up on time.

Dear Participants of my 4e Campaign, below you will find the skeleton for my 4e Campaign. I will be requiring one of these per character you have in the campaign.Information as to your starting items can be found in the original Interest Check. As you know we will be meeting twice a week Tuesday and Friday from 8p-10p (Pacific Standard Time). If you are unsure of when this is I will clarify it with you. As this is time for fun, in the interest of the group I would appreciate people show up on time and prepared to play, if not five minutes early when possible. If you know in advance you cannot make a night please notify me so I may plan accordingly.

We will be meeting in a currently undecided Rolz.org room in the interest of minimal registration. For those of you who do not know this is a free chat room that will provide us with dice support in addition to a log of our previous encounters. I plan for this to be fairly hands off in terms of of visual aid, focusing on creative use of mechanics. For more complicated scenes a visual aid will be provided for via a Tinychat Whiteboard or added to our OoC thread on RpG, but I expect this to be minimal at most.

Hopefully everything is to your liking. I hope you don't mind but I added a few things just to make it seem more complete, such as type of vision, racial features and I divided the abilities into sub-groups of At-Will, Encounter and Daily. I'll add Utility when we get to level 2 Again, if there is any problem with anything that I've done just let me know and I'll fix it ASAP

EDIT: Just a really short bio, Morthos has lived in Mycran his whole life, raised by his single mother. They live in a poorer area and as such have had somewhat difficult lives. Morthos hopes to keep Mycran neutral because he knows that if war breaks out his area will not last long.

Note to self: attack/defense/skills scores are totals including the +1/2 of level bonus.

[Esper]

Mechanically your character s fine Jorick, but my concern is you may have a hard time hitting things with such a low strength strength modifier.

I would recommend taking a feat called "Melee Training" to start off with to allow your charisma modifier to give you an attack bonus, which in your case would be +5 in addition to a proficiency bonus if you use one of the listed weapons in the PhB. You will get more feats at even levels so I wouldn't worry too much about not having super potent healing right away. Beyond that your focus won't be on damage judging from your build, but hitting with your abilities is important.

Turt's character also can cover some of the healing duties with his Majestic Word ability.

[Jorick]

Yeah, that makes sense. I can get the handsy healing thing later.

One thing I'm confused by though... What exactly did you mean with that "32 point buy" thing you said the other day? I don't know what points these are or where to look to figure out what I can get. I've got the Adventurer's Vault book accessible, but it only talks about gold. What do?

[Starsword]

I can explain that. The 32 point buy thing is for your ability scores. Each starts at 8 and you use the points to increase them. Up to and including 13 costs one point per plus. 14-16 cost two points each, 17 costs 3 points and 18 is 4 points. Most of the time I use the array 16 16 12 10 10 10 which uses every single point.

As for hitting things, you could just take the Charisma based Paladin powers and only your melee basic attack will suffer. And for a paladin, your MBA is less important than other defender's since your marks take damage automatically with no attack.

As for your other scores I don't think your Wisdom has to be too high. That's only for healing and in my opinion our Bard will do fine, the bard is a pretty good healer by themselves. If I were you I'd put more points into your Constitution, your HP is just barely above mine at level 1 and Controllers have the lowest base HP and Defenders have the highest. It's up to you though so whatever floats your boat.

[Jorick]

Ah, well, I just used a character creation program thing Turt showed me. I had no idea that's what the 32 point thing was referring to, I just had it auto-assign stats.

Thanks, I'll go fiddle with it some more I guess.

[Starsword]

If you want Charisma to be your main stat and want it to be 20 right off the bat I'd have an 18 Charisma, 14 Constitution, 8 in Intelligence, and 11 in whatever you want, with the other two being 10. This is all pre-racial of course, and as a Dragonborn you get +2 to Charisma and then +2 to either Strength or Constitution. So if you're completely ignoring strength then I'd say put the +2 to Con, get more HP, more surges and a higher surge value.

Of course this is all just my advice, if you want to do something else then go for it

[Starsword]

I don't know about everyone else but I am excited to get this started. Just two more hours
