Hi, I'm the new guy. Not 100% sure what I'm going to be making, but I'll have something up within the next day or so.

Balasar is ready to believe in this group. And also stab things.

Still need to find a good picture, though.

Updated Balasar's sheet (minus gold change, which isn't really relevant yet anyway). HP went up and I picked up the Impatient Strike power.

I'm good with selling everything except the Vicious weapon.

Also I'm probably actually swapping out my Daily. Actually standing next to party members in a position where I'd want to use my current daily happens less than anticipated. I'd either pick up Foretaste of Death (Hit for damage, then Effect: Target can't flank or gain CA, grants CA (save ends), with Aftereffect: 10 psychic damage) or Recursive Emotions (Hit for damage, then Effect: Ongoing 5 Psychic (save ends). Whenever the target makes a save vs this an enemy I can see takes 3 (con mod) damage and an ally I can see heals the same.)

Balasar has been updated. I sold my Dwarven Chain +1 (+104 gp) and bought Verve Scale Armor +1 (-840). This leaves Balasar with 477.2 GP. I'm assuming we're following the PHB1 rules for buying and selling, rather than the Essentials/Rules Compendium rules.

Also I ended up picking Foretaste of Death to be my level 1 Daily.

That was pretty much my assumption as well. And as a benefit it cuts out the "No, you can't buy Uncommon/Rare items without a long drawn out quest" assumption that Essentials introduced and I personally dislike.

So I'm trying to decide between Invitation to Defeat (close burst 5 non-damaging attack that pulls enemies towards me, weakens enemies next to me and causes them to take extra damage 1/round when they're hit. sustain minor) and Specter of Doubt (damage when the enemy attacks, save ends. each failed save lets me try to daze another enemy that's within 3 squares of the primary).

A couple of things. First, I'm planning on rebuilding Balasar to be a different Leader class. Currently leaning Bard, but not 100% set yet. I'm finally understanding the complaints people had about the PP classes not really having variety (namely that all of my non-utility encounter powers are just slightly bigger versions of my at-wills).

Second, I mentioned having your macros ask you for any bonuses/penalties as you roll. So let me give you an example of part of one of my current macros:
code:
Attack vs AC: [[1d20+11+?{Modifier|0}]]
Damage: [[1d10+5+?{Damage Modifier|0}]]
You'll note two bits there: ?{Modifier|0} and ?{Damage Modifier|0}. Roll20 interprets ?{SOMETHING} as a request for input from the user. So adding in ?{Modifier} would pop up a box with the text "Modifier" and a blank text box, and it will use the entered value anywhere you have ?{Modifier} in your macro (that's why I use two differently named ones). The "|0" tells it to default the text box to 0 instead of blank, so I can just click okay immediately if there's no modifier to add, otherwise you'd have to manually enter 0.

So I'm still fiddling around with Bardasar. I'm mostly done, just working on gear and rituals. I've never really worked with rituals before so I don't know what ones I should be looking out for.

Balasar's new sheet.

Summary of his abilities:
Class abilities
Virtue of Cunning: If you're within 9 (5+Int+Tactician's Mail) squares of me and get missed by an attack, I can slide you 1 (1/rd)
Song of Rest: If you spend healing surges to heal during a short rest you add 4 (Cha) to the amount healed per surge

At-Wills
Staggering Note: Minor damage, push, and free MBA from an ally.
Vicious Mockery: Damage and a penalty to attack rolls.

Encounters
Dragonfear: You all know this one already.
Majestic Word: Healing surge +1d6+5 (Cha + Healer's Brooch) at this level.
Words of Friendship: +5 to next Diplomacy check
Hypnotism: Slide target, or it makes a MBA with a +4 against target of my choice. From Wizard Multiclass.
Blunder: Bigger version of Staggering Note.
Impelling Force: Big slide that must end the target next to one of my allies.
Moment of Escape: Slide an ally 4 squares.
Revitalizing Incantation: Target can spend a healing surge +1 (Healer's Brooch) and gains THP equal to their surge value.

Dailies
Stirring Shout: Allies that hit the target regain 5 (Cha + Healer's Brooch) HP.
Compulsion: On a hit repeatedly slide the target (save ends). On a miss, slide the target once.

Balasar can now break causality up to once per encounter, allowing an ally to get revenge for being hit before they're hit.

So Helm of the Flamewarped should probably go to whomever rolls the most dice with an at-will (I think that's Li, but I haven't gone and actually checked). The Belt of the Brawler will probably be disenchanted for residuum unless someone really wants the ability to count their improvised attacks as club attacks and doesn't have a better belt. And the Brooch of No Regrets +2 can go to pretty much anyone who doesn't already have a neck slot item as its power is pretty universally useful, and it'll give a +1 to defenses over what inherent bonuses give us this level. Balasar doesn't want it, as he prefers his Healer's Brooch +1.

Balasar is now a Life Singer. He now grants any ally within 5 of him to gain +2 to skill and ability checks. His action point ability grants an ally that uses one within 5 of him for a non-attack action 1d8+Cha temp hp. Based on the party dynamic I doubt that one'll be triggered much. And the power he got this level from it lets him daze and weaken a single target, as well as give them a -Int to attacks, until the end of his next turn.

The big reason he's now a Life Singer is that at level 16 it lets him reroll any attack he misses with, as long as that attack targets Will (which is so far all of them). At 12 he'll be able to give all allies within 5 of him an extra standard action as a daily, but the action can't be used for an attack that deals damage, and at 20 he gets a Daily Close Burst 3 friendly sleep attack that also lets any ally within it spend a healing surge. Unfortunately the targets immediately wake up if attacked, so you don't get CA or get to coup de grace.

Hey folks. Currently phone posting to say that I probably won't be able to join in tomorrow. We were having a tree removed from the back yard and they accidentally cut our internet cable and Comcast won't send a technician out until Tuesday at the earliest.

Edit: We've enacted a temporary fix. Assuming it holds I'll be able to make it after all.
