Tentatively done. I may change a few spells and skills around but I may not, haven't really decided.

Corwin

Natural Armor, Ring of Protection/Deflection and Epic Mage Armor are pretty much your best AC-boosting options. The first even sometimes stacks with innate natural armor, if you've got any or plan on going there. A shield is another option, with enchantment (of course) either naturally or via magic vestment. I'm particularly fond of animated shields, though I know Eb hates those! There's also a cleric spell to boost a shield with Sacred, which is pretty sweet and you should be able to access both via Factotum. Other than that, you could always go the monk/battle dancer way and grab Wis or Cha or Int to AC from that (Dune said that animated shields don't get in the way of monks and their abilities). The rest is esoteric, so you're better off pursuing it in play.

If you're looking for a single point of improvement, there Bite of X line of spells is your best bet. Unlike cool spells that turn you into an angel or a dragon, the Bites give you natural armor and more Dex and Con in one sweet package. And Bite of the Werebear is only lvl7 arcane.
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Iron Dragoon

Good suggestions. I'll look into this stuff.

Got +3 NA on my bracers. I might look into Ring of Protection, though.

I've got an Animated Shield. +1 right now. Plan to upgrade it at some point.

The Cleric spell I'll look into. Any buff I do on Factotum side will need a super long duration though, since I can only memorize one casting of a spell at a time.

I'll look into these. Hadn't even considered them.
This is not the greatest post in the world, no... this is just a tribute.

Okay, I'd like a status report of how everyone's doing with their sheets. Are you done? Are any changes in the offing? Ect ect ect. Talk to me, since I'm looking at a start date.
I believe I am now finished.

Hey Eb, did you ever go back and kill Bwimb the Elder in B3?

Nope, he's a dick though so he's on Afina's list.

It's a big list is all.

Scheduling is truly Afina's biggest enemy.

<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

I'm pretty sure Neph's done as well, so our starting date is pretty much a matter of how fast I get my end in order.

At this point it'll probably be sooner than later, I wanna get going. So if yo uhave any last minute tweaks or changes, say so now. I mostly have a bit of DM work to do, anything on the todo list that has to be done before game start will be done soon.

I may or may not be removing him from her list in the near future.

Bwimb II is up to something and I think we're probably going to scope her out. I have a bad feeling that she and Calleigh are going to be best friends.

Just remember to pack acid immunity, she's a hugger.

How scary.

Okay, we'll start soon, exact day TBA. Eb, let me know if you need more time for any adjustments.

Dropped knowledge nature for swimming.

May have been inspired by Jessica there.
