Random DM nagging.

[Nephrite]

And here I was hoping for a Duke of Songs template.

I'll think about NPCs and get back to you.

[Anastasia]

Generally, that sorta thing will happen IC rather than OOC, Neph. If you need clarification on anyone, let me know. Some may need rebuilding for compliance, which could affect power level.

[Nephrite]

I was mostly joking anyway, it's fine.

Would Cresiel be interested?

He would be, sure.

[Nephrite]

Yarr.

[Anastasia]

Yarr.

Okay, any PrC or anything you'd like Cresiel to look into? Right now he's a...Solar 26//Knight 10/Hellreaver 16.

[Nephrite]

I say just keep on the Epic Hellreaver train unless he's got some dip he wants somewhere.

[Anastasia]

I say just keep on the Epic Hellreaver train unless he's got some dip he wants somewhere.

He might take a level or two of knight, maybe, but probably not. As much as he'd like the goodies later in knight, hellreaver's just better for him.

Dune poked me about this on IRC. I'll join up.

Choice 1.

[Anastasia]

Welcome aboard, Merc. The B4 board is the board we're using for this, go ahead and copy/paste those over there as well.

[Anastasia]

Okay, should have Cresiel done today, but won't post him until we have the boards we need.

[Anastasia]

Okay Eb, these are the following rough builds for your NPCs. They aren't leveled up to 30 but they're generally close. Let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions/adjustments.

Antenora: Erinyes 9/Ranger 1/Hellreaver 19//Paladin 29
Jessica: Rogue 29//Swashbuckler 10/Hellbreaker 10/Perfect Wight 9
Latha: Astral Deva 29//Cleric 29
Syala: Astral Deva 30//Druid 30

In short, Antenora's a mobile fighter/paladin type with some decent divine casting thanks to her paladin levels. Jessica's a fairly potent rogue who can sneak excessively well. Latha's essentially a solar and has room for a PrC if you want. Syala's running a few ACFs in druid for wis to AC, rage and favored enemy, so adding a PrC would be a little trickier for her but could go in interesting directions.

[Anastasia]

Cresiel's revision is done. As we don't have a board up yet, I'll post a preview of him here now. He's done except for his 11-13 domain spells, I'll work on those soon.

Antenora and Cresiel are both hellreavers, though with a different focus. Antenora is primarily an attacker, a charger who defeats enemies. Cresiel is a bodyguard, a defender who protects others. This revolves around a few key points.

1. Epic Shieldmate. The feat has been revised to account for shield barrier and shield evasion. As Cresiel has all these feats, he makes an excellent defender. Right now his shield bonus is +5, so anyone adjacent to him gains the following: +5 shield bonus to armor class, +5 bonus to Reflex saves and evasion. Note this evasion works in any armor.

Epic Shieldmate [Epic]
Prerequisite: Improved Shieldmate
Benefit: The shield bonus your shieldmate feat grants friendly adjacent creatures equals your shield bonus to armor class. If you have the shield barrier and shield evasion feats, they apply to friendly adjacent creatures as well.

2. Divine succor gives Cresiel swift action healing of allies, while spread holy fury allows him to hand out fear immunity if needed.
3. Cresiel's cleric magic is structured around combat and self defense by and large, allowing him to throw down all sorts of healing and defensive spells to help further.

Beyond that, Cresiel has a gear problem that should be fixed easily enough in the early game. He's pretty much pure potential right now.

Very small and quick note: If you use the table for the epic paladin here, note it doesn't give another smite at level 30. This is a mistake and text over table should apply, so you get a 7th smite daily as normal.

Alright, B6 has a board up, head on over there if you've already signed up.

If you're interested in signing up but haven't yet, post interest in here and we'll sort things out here first.
