First of all sorry about all the drama, I can be notoriously bad at making PC creation decisions.

My thoughts:

No, I am a shifter.

The Wolfshape Primary Power is identical to the Druid Wildshape, the Secondary is an attack Vs. AC (@ + 3) with d10 rather than my current Vs. Ref, d8 & a slide.

Now the Utility would be an option instead of my current utility? Because otherwise (it's an extra) that's very nice.

Explorer - Quite flavourful, Luce already has a walking move upto 11. So ignoring terrain = meh

Primordial - Nice, I'm lacking close blasts & cold will be Luce's chosen element.

Seer - That can be really useful, I suppose. Good flavour.

Primal Guardian - Marking very good, unless it's 1/encounter like the multi-class.

Elemental Priest - Luce just picked up something similar to this with her Shamen spirit. So a second spirit to summon would probably take too many standards. Though it may fit.

Fey Beast Tamer - This sounds really nice, I am not sure Luce has enough actions to make full use of it. Although it's only the actual attacks that cost extra.... Very Good. Though Luce might also start summoning as a Druid!

Animal Master - Nice, but a larger hunting dog (or Betsy) could work better. CA doesn't help too much - when she can use her spirit or herself to allow a flank. Or she could have taken a different Utility and turned into a small creature herself.

Earthforger - Burst nice, Resistance very useful. Fluff alright

Firecrafter - Damaging aura very nice. Fluff, not so good

Oracle of the Evil Eye - That has some really nice fluff

Sorry the weather outside reminds me, of this.

at least you had rain :I


Male Human Bard(Skald) 2

Lots of it. Lots 'n' lots. And then some more.


Human

Been flooded. At war with towels. Ground floor only, but not pretty.


(29/31) Razorclaw Shifter Predator Druid

Damn you rain. *shakes fist then runs & hides*


Male Human Bard(Skald) 2

Don't taunt the rain. It can do this in revenge.

The Exchange

M

Speaking as a representative of the US, the Midwest will gladly take some of the rainfugees away from the flooded lands...


Male Human Bard(Skald) 2

If you want to come over and collect some, July's rain is falling right now.

All of it.

In one day.

Our Year 10 visitors are very wet.

Dark Archive

have a splitting headache :-(


(29/31) Razorclaw Shifter Predator Druid

Radavel, hydrate, hydrate & drugs. ;)


(29/31) Razorclaw Shifter Predator Druid

Yay, Dabbleboards back!!

Dances.

Just wondering would it be a good idea, for us to also makes sure we note down our positions in case something like this happens again.


Male Dwarf 1 Knight

well, as long as we mention our movements in the posts, referring to the square, we should be fine for the most part.


Human

Got flooded (ground floor only and more smelly than tragic, but still a pain).

Yup. If you just make sure you note your final position square, I can always rebuild. I keep home notes for the monsters. Although in this case I wouldn't relish having to reposition all of them, which is calling certain doom down on my head.


(29/31) Razorclaw Shifter Predator Druid

Hope the first night of Faustus went well, Rev.

Having lots of fun here.

The Exchange

M

okay, who ordered the TPK with a side of horseflesh?


(29/31) Razorclaw Shifter Predator Druid

We ain't doing too bad, I can transform and (if lucky) knock V1 into burst range of V2. Which breaks you from any restraint. Unfortunately I cannot use an AP to Chill wind them both....

...unless can you bull-rush without charging or moving?

And my Beastie (Spirit Companion) keeps S1 locked there.


Male Dwarf 1 Knight

worst part is that Rev went for my 'bait' and I couldn't capitalize.

Attacking my mount does provoke my mark equivalent.

That said, I'm still not 100% on how to use a mount in combat. I do know all Mounted Combat does is eliminate the penalty for the mount to hit in combat, but do I get that instead of my attack or with?


Predator

I need to practise my Funky Gibon.

♫ Whoo, wooo, woo, the funky gibbon. ♪

Generally, unless the mount stats say otherwise, you only get the same number of actions in mounted combat than you would otherwise. So you and your mount share actions. In this case, you would use your mount for the move action and probably take the attack and minor actions yourself. What the Mounted Combat feat allows you to do is gain the benefit that the mount provides you with in its stats, assuming you are the right level. So you probably need to check its stats as they are pertinent. Mounted combat is a bit of an afterthought in the DMG, rather than being in the PHB where it arguably should be.

The Exchange

M

okay thanks for that clarification, Aubrey. I did some snooping, and found out that MC USED to be needed to use a mount's extra abilities, but was removed some time ago, now simply removes that -2 to hit when attacking via mount.

The Exchange

No peeking, please Rarely Accountant 2/Auditor 4/Waster 30

I stand corrected.


(29/31) Razorclaw Shifter Predator Druid

Hope I hit of I'll be eating an OA.

Btw how far up the tree, do you have to climb to hit the goblins? I was at 6 move, 1 square away thus had 3 to move in and start climbing.

The Exchange

M

well if you get an OA, I at least get a free swing at him, plus the OA is at -2. I can slow him with that hit, and the next one could do some knockdown

I believe Rev said they're 15 feet up? so without reach, 10 ft up is where you need to be, I guess.


(29/31) Razorclaw Shifter Predator Druid

D'oh because I climbed 1 square (5ft?), with my last 2 movement points. I was hoping to knock him out of it, jump on him and then run off to another tree.

Hmmm.... I could run giving him CA...


Human

Back. Finished Faustus and flaked out for 24 hours. Never again do we do 8 youth theatre shows with four of them in back to back weeks.

Yup. Gobbos are 15 feet up, so Luce needs to be 10 feet up to hit.


(29/31) Razorclaw Shifter Predator Druid

Hope it went well. That poster looked great.


Human

It did. Really good audiences. That's my son in the middle, looking intense and gloom stricken. Now up to my neck in bags and bags of costumes to be washed.


(29/31) Razorclaw Shifter Predator Druid

What role did he play? Faustus or the Devil? Well I have alright hanging out clothes weather, even if the Great Yorkshire Show was cancelled.


(29/31) Razorclaw Shifter Predator Druid

:O Wow, Kendall is awesome even without critting he is....golly rather great.


Human

He played Faustus :)

Why can I never build characters like Kendall?


(29/31) Razorclaw Shifter Predator Druid

I know a defender who damages like a Striker & here Luce is doing d6 damage in AoE.

Well, I am off out for a couple of hours lunch. :)


Male Dwarf 1 Knight

"A life of dedication and valor yields rewards upon the field of battle, M'lady"

Knights pretty much only use MBAs so its easier to focus on them, like the Bracers of Mighty Striking. +2 to damage on MBAs only. The Knight's aura is what lets me slow on an MBA, and World Serpent's Grasp lets me knock down those who are slowed or immobilized.

That just frees up feats for other things.

The Exchange

M

I was rereading A Little Learning, when I came across this gem, I just had to share it to those who may've forgotten it.

The large volume that became, or is, or was the Monster in glasses flutters invitingly.

Arianwyn glares at it.

The book stops fluttering and goes pointedly still.

Lulz...


(29/31) Razorclaw Shifter Predator Druid

"T' way Knight takes care of 'is charge (or charger) doest 'im credit" Luce thinks.

Yeah I suppose the MBA's are quite nice especially if you combined them with multi-classed at-will's that count as MBA's (like the barbarian or druids)

The Exchange

M

Or Paladin! Unfortunately, Essentials classes cannot do multiclass, as well most of the abilities specifically say they need an MBA, and I do not think things such as Virtuous Strike would technically be able to capitalize. While it is able to BE an MBA, it is not one for all intents and purposes.

That said, There's more than one nifty Bard ability or Warlock ability that hits AFTER an MBA. Dimensional Step with a Knight would be most amazing...

The Exchange

M

I see two things I need to buy. Impenetrable barding (resist 5 for the mount when ridden), and a mirrored caparison (makes mount immune to area attack 1/enc)

I have enough cash for one of em, I am disappoint I did not find it until after I started play.


(29/31) Razorclaw Shifter Predator Druid

Cool, protecting your horse, grand. I'm sure we'll have chance to grab them later - once we request the answers from the goblins.

Still got decision paralysis over my Background.

The Exchange

M

well ,maybe after you walk around in her shoes a bit more it'll become clear. Personally I think most of the ones you gave a run down on are all winners.


(29/31) Razorclaw Shifter Predator Druid

Hope your feeling better soon.


M Dwarf Wizard 2

Man-flu - the deadliest disease known to man (if not woman).


(29/31) Razorclaw Shifter Predator Druid

Lol ;p

The Exchange

M

I had that myself last week. I almost never get sick, but when I do, well I had to stay home for two days and I still feel the remnants of it


Human

Don't speak to me about man-flu. I can sympathise, I can buy appropriate drugs and I'll be nice about it. I don't need the puppy-eyed self-pity that comes with the deal around our place.

The Exchange

No peeking, please Rarely Accountant 2/Auditor 4/Waster 30

Self-pity is one of the symptoms. Though whether it's a symptom of man-flu or simply of being a man, I'm less sure.


(29/31) Razorclaw Shifter Predator Druid

1000 posts Yay.

No damage from the fall?


Human

Ooops. Yes. 3, halved from the Acro check. 1 damage to our bouncy ape.

Dark Archive

I think this is the optimum time for me to post. Around 8:43 PM where I am.


Human

I shall remember :)

1000 is good. I like 1000. Let's see how far we can get these chaps.

Just to give you all warning, I will be away and unable to update from this Sunday until the following Saturday.
