I've used Fantasy Grounds before. Who's in the party right now?

Edit: Like classes and stuff, so I know what role I'm filling.

Depending on the Striker, then, I might go leader|striker hybrid. I have a warlord|rogue that I've always wanted to play.

Edit: Oof, I forgot that he had a dragonmark. I'll see what I can come up with.

I'm so conflicted. You want half of a class I love and the other half of the class I hate.

Well, the class works best with Mark of Passage, and... well, is a Kobold, so may not mesh well with this game. Is there a channel or something I can talk to the DM?

edit: Actually, may just roll up a storm sorcerer instead. Yeah, I'll do that, rather than asking for a bunch of off-brand silly rules.

Drago Highhill (Storm Sorcerer)

http://orokos.com/dnd4e/sheets/7204



Drago was born and raised on a traveling merchant caravan, the somewhat energetic apprentice to an increasingly frustrated Avandran priestess named Jasmine Greenblower, mainly because he was the youngest about and she was his aunt. But, to be honest, nothing seemed to stick with Drago, at least when it came to religion and such.

Still, the caravan doted on the boy, whose boisterousness seemed to peak during the loudest of storms and the setting of the biggest of bonfires. In fact, after several "accidents", Drago was outright banned from starting any campfires whatsoever. Not that he burned anything that wasn't technically supposed to be burned, but the fireworks would sometimes spook the locals.

Life changed for Drago after he was bitten. It was an odd sort of wakeup call: as he lay there, feverishly twisting as the disease swept through his body, he began to think, really think, about what he was going to be doing with his life. And, though his belief in Avandra was pure, he knew he was headed the wrong direction.

It was under his "Uncle" Odo that he began to tap into the arcane, and, surprise of surprises, he seemed to focus on the things that made the brightest flashes and the biggest noises. Although Odo tried to shield him from some of the study, Drago found that his puppy form let him into places even a Halfling couldn't quite squeeze into.

Odo ignored Drago's awkward attempts at skullduggery for some time, until he felt Drago was ready to go on his own. Then, after a wonderful party, the Caravan moved to have him "kicked out", and Drago could begin his life as an adventurer.

So Drago walked up to the pass, ready for trouble, looking for a new group to travel with.

Cool cool. I don't have the info for Camping the Stairs, so I'll need that eventually, but I do have mumble and have used it before. Does everyone else pretty much have their character in Fantasy Grounds, or are we kinda having a first-session character building moment?

I'm making a slight change to my character. He's a werewolf, not a wererat. I thought werewolf would change him to medium size, but it doesn't, so instead he'll be the tiniest werewolf~

If there could be, like, a summary of the intro, I'm fine with just getting started.

Well, admittedly, it's been a while since I've used fantasy grounds, but this character is a LOT less complex than the ones I've played in the past, so I think I'll be fine.

Edit: For the record, I'd be fine reflavoring as a werebadger.

Mark of Storm, which would allow me to slide 1 on a lot of my powers, use a couple rituals, and if I ever am able to fly to fly just a little bit more.

For the record, I'm really looking forward to seeing how the Invoker plays, because I've never even seen it played before. I'm more likely to play the controller in any group I'm in, and it's usually a wizard.

Herr Tog, we're all using Dropbox. It's a super easy file sharing thingy. Dropbox is a folder, you stick your file in the folder, you right click to get the link to that file, and you post it. You can arrange it just like any other folder on your computer, so organization is easy.

Oh yeah, you wanted a wish list, didn't you? I'll stick to heroic for now.

Lightning dagger, lancing superior implement (I switched from accurate. It may not be strictly OPTIMAL, but.... hey. Why not?)
Rhythm Blade, dagger, lancing superior implement (I want the lightning dagger more, but I like this one too)
Shimmering Robes

Acrobat Boots (feet)
Executioners Bracers (arms)
Antipathy Gloves (hands)

Rope of Slave Fighting (waist)
Siberys Shard of the Mage

AND ALL THE GOOFY WONDEROUS MAGIC ITEMS YOU CAN MANAGE

Alternative Rewards: I guess all of us could have Avandras Boon of Escape of Confidence
Corellon's Boon of Arcane Might (I'd love to have higher level ones for extra encounter abilities)
Melora's Storm Blessing
Lighter than Wind

What's focused expertise, anyway?

Gharbad the Weak
Feb 23, 2008

This too good for you.
Can I just get, like, a normal expertise feat and improved defenses? Seems a lot simpler. Most expertise feats give +1/+2/+3 to a weapon/implement/weapliment already, with some side benefit, and improved defenses gives +1/+2/+3 to non-AC defenses. Then we could just set it and forget it.

Edit: plus, with War Wizard's expertise, I'd get -5 to hit allies, on top of the normal +1/+2/+3 to hit.

Gharbad the Weak
Feb 23, 2008

So, wait, you're saying expertise feats, with +1/+2/+3 to attack bonus, and focused expertise, which also gives +1/+2/+3, are supposed to stack? That doesn't sound right.

It's really easy to level up in Fantasy Grounds. You set your level to 2, everything updates, you add a feat, you add a power. Oh, and any inherent bonuses. If he gave us access to the books we're doing, I could level all y'alls up in like 30 seconds each.

We could last-minute reschedule? We never really got down to what we'd do if someone couldn't make it.

If you want to, you can give the goblin the equivalent of a 15 minute dominate in archery, just to keep things balanced. Maybe he aims for 3 rounds then just up and kills two guys.

Speaking of being late, I'm probably not going to make it to this upcoming Wednesday's game. Which is fine, I've seen this before. If anyone needs to take care of Drago: Sorcerers are easy. Everything's set up to do lightning damage. Explosive Pyre is long range, and does damage around the enemy hit, and Flame Spiral is close range, and sets damage up so enemies who get next to you take damage. Lightning Strike is at-will, and does a little damage to a second target, while blazing starfall is an (unfriendly) area attack for when you needs to hit multiple people.
