Working on an NPC from scratch, so this will probably take the rest of the day. Don't expect much progress, it takes time to make new NPCs.

HEY LISTEN!

For each returning PC, I'd like at least a few plot hooks or areas of interest you'd like to explore in this game. Preferably ones tied to your previous games, let me know where you're at on things. Also helps me keep things in order and refresh me on anything that might slip between my wickets.

For those who haven't answered this, which I think is just Eb and Cor. I know char prep and everything else takes time so it's all good, but consider this your friendly DM nagging about it.

I can't remember specific stuff Alicia was looking into towards the end of B1 but that's all 20 years out of date anyway so doesn't really matter.

Right now she'd be fairly focused on consolidating things on both Benfal and Lifasa - having played a part in the liberation of both she'll be wanting to nurture her churches on both worlds so as to increase her worshipper base and divine power.

There's the looming issue of Ao of course. A refresher on where we currently stand on that would be nice.

Screwing over anything Shar has going on is a must. We should take inspiration from how active and effective Shar is - nothing's too petty or beneath her personal attention and that's why she gets such good results!

Can you post an epic sorcerer?

Like an epic progression for sorcerer? Like a particular epic sorcerer? Something else?

Indeed to the last.

As for Ao and a general refresher, that's in the cards once I get all the mechanical work done. I hope to be generally done with it by the end of the weekend, but we'll see how long a few things run.

Nephrite


Iron Dragoon

Background is mostly done. Need to name a couple NPCs. Need to do weapons (working on tonight), need to find gloves, and need to get a ring. I *think* that'll be it for me. I might do some small equipment adjustments, but that'll be more like... deciding if I want a tent or something. Nothing for actual gear, more ancillary things.

BTW, when you dig through my character, if you have suggestions for like better feat choices and stuff, I'd love to hear them. I struggled with Surraruthru (as you mentioned) for a while, so I'd like to head some of that off if possible.
This is not the greatest post in the world, no... this is just a tribute.

Pretty sure I'm done.

Awesome, figured you'd be quickest all things considered. I might toss you a little bit of work if you want me to and you want to be occupied.
