Good question re: Ki'El... He was the one that I was wondering about, since he had just started and then fizzled out...
Marcas(DMSteveK) Wednesday December 9th, 2009 11:40:44 AM
Ki'EL was Drew Gerken. He had recently returned to the Wold and bit off more than he could chew. He withdrew from the Mithril Tap thru a post on L&B
Sir John Wednesday December 9th, 2009 5:01:38 PM
OK... Didn't catch that and I wish he would have done that here.... Oh well... At least he notified us and I know what it's like to bite off more than I can chew...

yeah, you can only chew so fast before you bite yo toungue. :)
Marcas(DMSteveK) Thursday December 10th, 2009 2:30:37 PM
LOL!

I'm posting my new Mystic Theurge I am making for this game. He has the Hunting and Insight domains (lots of granted class skills like survival, spot, search sense motive, track feat ect) and started with 20intelligence, so expect lots of skill rolls as well as PLEANTY of spell casting power. He has level 3 cleric and Wizard spells and has caster level of 5 in each. Feats are Spell Focus Evocation and Illusion... but feats are subject to change.
He's still under construction. Does anyone have any suggestions as a way to raise my caster level???

DOMAINS
The non-DMG Woldian domains are available only to PCs who are specifically devoted to a particular god (witches and "pure" clerics). Not to "generic" clerics.
No character could have Hunting and Insight. Only pure clerics of Jancassis can have Hunting, and only pure clerics of Gargul or Pantheon can have Insight.
Remsus Kai HP 43 Thursday December 17th, 2009 7:02:15 PM
Oooooooh. I thought that being a Generic Cleric gave access to any two domains of my choice... Hmmm, guess I gotta reallocate skill points after choosing new domains... darn. Oh well. Maybe I should look into being a pure cleric of one of these gods?
Hmmm. Gargul seems to be in possession of the best combination of Domains for what I want: Insight and Travel seem promising combination.
If I stayed Generic Cleric, then perhaps Luck and Travel... or Trickery and Travel. I just want the survival skill for my background and roleplay. =(
Do you have any suggestions? I think we should create some more Domains... like the Spell domain (drool)
Speck AC19/20 HP:26/26 Thursday December 17th, 2009 8:07:08 PM
Sad to say, I've neve played a cleric. And I'm not all that familiar with the woldian clerics, so I don't think I'd be of much help.
Sorry.
Marcas(DMSteveK) Friday December 18th, 2009 10:19:33 AM
there is the Magic domain in PHB.
My thoughts are that many (most?) PC clerics are Gargul clerics because of all the nifty power. Because of that, I shy away from playing Gargul clerics (cause everyone is doing it, right?)
Remsus Kai HP 43 Friday December 18th, 2009 12:44:00 PM
Yeah. But the magic domain seems to just add 1 to my level for using staffs and wands. All the spells can be covered by my wizard spell list really.
With so many skill points for having a huge int score, I was trying to get domains that expand my skill selection and offer some good powers to assist.
Yeah, Gargul seems to be overplayed. But it's because he has all the good domains. Insight and Travel are two of the best. Really, I think that the other gods need to have some more domains thrown in to make them even. The Charm domain is just GIMPED... badly. Giving domain seems to suck equally. The only other good one is Hunting from Jancassis and maybe Domination (because Dominate person is a lvl 3 spell on that list!)
So... would you guys rather me just go pure wizard? I was kinda looking forward to doing both cleric and wizard, but I hate playing something that is sooooo overdone as Gargul priest.
Cayzle Friday December 18th, 2009 12:47:27 PM
Are there really that many clerics of Gargul in the Wold? I would have guessed that both Alemi and Domi are more popular.
Sir John Friday December 18th, 2009 3:49:51 PM
My vote is to make a pure wizard, since we need someone who can blast our enemies with arcane magic...
Remsus Kai HP 43 Friday December 18th, 2009 4:52:25 PM
Hmmm. I'm waiting to see if Jason's idea for the practiced spellcaster feat gets approved by the powers that be. If it does, then mystic theurge may be a bit more attractive an option.
You guys don't have a cleric though do you?
So, I'm making a second character sheet that is pure wizard (can't find a prestige class for the life of me).
Basically my spot skill goes from 17 (mystic theurge) to 0 (wizard)... ouch
Remsus Kai HP 43 Friday December 18th, 2009 5:54:36 PM
Here is the pure wizard version. No skills (other than wasted cross-class, bleh), no domains, no healing spells. But it does have level 4 spells rather than level 3 wizy and level 3 cleric. Compare the two if you want. I'm still on the fence.
The pure wizzy one just seems sooo boring. But the spells seem soo fun... =(
Cayzle Friday December 18th, 2009 7:02:25 PM
I like the MT ... see LnB Post.
Cayzle Friday December 18th, 2009 9:41:09 PM
Yeah, I have. I had a druid / bard who I wanted to go MT with, but the losses were too steep. No wildshape, no bardic music. And bard spells just don't hack it. So I created the Woldian seer PrC as an alternative.
But I never got the chance to go all the way with the PC. :-( Maybe some other year.
Remsus Kai HP 43 Friday December 18th, 2009 9:54:19 PM
Cayzle - I actually read your synapsis on Mystic Theurge two days ago. I'm actually a big fan of your screeds believe it or not. I started reading the comic last year some time.
I think we need to have a Wizard PrC that is accessible at lower levels. That would make going pure wizzy much more attractive option.
Then again... I'm a dreamer.
I'm still up in the air about which one to go. The mystic theurge has better skill selection, better saves, and can carry around a cure light wounds wand. But on the other hand. Next level, level 9, the pure wizzy will have level 5 spells, while the Mystic Theurge will still be with level 3 spells (in two classes though). My question is this now: how important is more spells? How many combats go on in a day? Do we ever run out of spells? Because the Mystic Theurge wins in longevity if we have to fight several battles in a day, but if its only one or two then I think the Wizzy spells would fair better. Especially Phantasmal Killer.... I almost took Illusion focus just for that spell. ;D
Cayzle Saturday December 19th, 2009 7:41:56 AM
Thank you for the kind words.
Speck AC19/20 HP:26/26 Sunday December 20th, 2009 11:00:21 PM
considering that, so far, undead has been our Numero Uno enemies, might see what workds, or doesn't work, vs undead. :)
Marcas(DMSteveK) Wednesday December 23rd, 2009 2:18:45 PM
we HAVE been dealing with more than our share of undead...
Cayzle Thursday December 24th, 2009 11:09:24 AM
Lucky doesn't mind. His Magic Stones do double damage vs Undead.
Remsus Kai HP 43 Saturday December 26th, 2009 3:53:39 AM
Yeah. I'm going with the Mystic Theurge. Ready to start playing whenever. I wonder how the DM will include my char in the game?
Sir John (Ken) Saturday December 26th, 2009 1:35:36 PM
I suggest that the Sergeant of the watch (who we're reporting to) suggest you as an addition to our group, to help ensure that we're successful. After all, the Raven hasn't been captured yet and the Sergeant is probably even more worried about all that's occurred...
Who is our next DM anyway? Is it you Steve?
Speck AC19/20 HP:26/26 Monday December 28th, 2009 4:01:20 PM
just checking in. hope everyone had a swell Christmas. :)
Cayzle Tuesday December 29th, 2009 1:43:45 PM
Happy holidays to all!
Marcas (DMSteveK) Thursday December 31st, 2009 8:40:28 AM
Yes, I'm the current DM. That's a good suggestion, Ken! We'll start up on Monday.
Cayzle Thursday December 31st, 2009 9:43:27 AM
Sounds good. I'm feeling lucky! But I thought we had picked Jan 10 for the restart? Or am I imagining things?
Steve, you want to send everybody an e-mail?
Sir John (Ken) Thursday December 31st, 2009 12:46:42 PM
I'm OK with starting Monday, and great idea to send an email!
Sir John (Ken) Sunday January 3rd, 2010 7:35:20 PM
Hey guys... We're also still waiting on a final XP from our last adventure. The last we had was back in September, and we never did get the final amount from our fight with the demon and her cronies before then...
Whomever DM'd that please give us a posting of the Xps... Thanks, Ken
Marcas (DMSteveK) Sunday January 3rd, 2010 9:26:23 PM
I'm all for slowing down to make sure we're all ready to start. Let's make it 10 Jan.
- xp from chain demon, drider, and undead?
- Tomorrow I'll send an email to ensure I've got the email for everyone. :-)
Speck AC19/20 HP:26/26 Monday January 4th, 2010 1:08:10 AM
Just checking in.
Happy New Year everyone.
Cayzle Monday January 4th, 2010 6:34:38 AM
Looking forward to Jan 10! And to xp before that!
...
But isn't a week from today the 11th?
Sir John (Ken) Monday January 4th, 2010 9:48:30 AM
I think the Xp was for the foes from this latest installment, so it sounds like driders, undead, demons... I can't remember each person we fought, but I do know our last XP was from whomever finished the previous installment (before this one we just completed).
Remsus Kai HP 43 Monday January 4th, 2010 3:39:11 PM
