If I go with a mount such as a Worg, would the mount's movement count towards my required movement for Skirmish damage?

Movement from the Worg will count for skirmish damage.  IIRC, you can full attack with ranged weapons during movement, but if you ride up to melee, you are limited to a standard action (since it takes "time" to get there).  But it has been a while since I looked.

Schala, would you let me have the worg as an animal companion? It seems like it is a bit better than any of the comparable companions, but I think of worgs as being, in general, the ride of choice for goblins.

I'll have to compare the Worg to the others - it might end up costing a feat but leaving you with an animal companion.  I'll try to answer in the next day or two, but it might not be until Wednesday - sorry.  Would you mind posting this question asking for advice on another board here?  I am not sure of how to handle this and would have to look some stuff up, but I am AFB until Wednesday.  This goes for j0lt also.

How are you handling XP for characters with LA?  Do you have just enough XP to be ECL 5 and then have to deduct from your total to buy off LA?

I am fine with you being 5th level character but down the experience for the buyoff, so you should have 3000 less than a LA 0 character.  Does anyone have a problem with this?

Nevermind, I'm not eligible for buyoff yet anyway.

Just for reference... When making a ranged attack while mounted, you can make a full attack, but the attack occurs halfway between the movement. So the Worg would have to move at least double the distance necessary for skirmish to activate. :D

Excellent.  I may go with a simpler animal such as a wolf, but since Nodaisho's already going that route, I may switch my character over to a ranged rogue build.

Well, there is a difference between our characters, it just so happens they both ride mounts into combat, mine prefers charging with a lance while yours prefers staying back where he won't get hit over the head so much.

edit: Schala, maybe modify my druid level down by one for the higher normal abilities, like the really powerful ones knock it down by four or eight?

Knocking your druid level down by one would work.

If I multiclass into a single level of every class, can I call my goblin "Senor Vorpal Kickasso"?  :p  (joking)

I imagine a character something like this:



Shakra, middle aged female Goblin, N
Ashbound Druid 5

HP 41 (Full @ 1st, avg after) Saves FRW +7/+1/+7 (+1 versus arcane magic for all saves)

AC 16 (MW Chain shirt 4/ Dex 2)

S 8 D 14 C 16 I 14 W 18 Ch 10  (scores before middle aged and race 11;13;17;13;16;9 level 4 point to wisdom)

Skills
Concentrate +11 (8 ranks)
Diplomacy +8 (8 ranks)
Handle Animal +5 (+9 regarding Dworek) (5 ranks)
Hide +6
Know: nature +14 (8 ranks)
Listen +5 (1 rank)
Move Silently +6
Ride 7 (1 rank)
Spellcraft 4 (2 ranks)
Spot 12 (8 ranks)
Survival  11 (+13 for aboveground natural) (5 ranks)

Feats:
ashbound
track

Spells per day: 5/4/3/2
3:
wind wall, call lightning

2:
barkskin, bear's endurance, bull's strength

1:
speak with animals, entangle, 2X cure light wounds

0:
create water, 2X detect magic,2X  cure minor wounds


I'd like to go for worg if available at a -1 level, alternative (gonna be a kennel!), else prolly just wolf or maybe dire bat.

How do you feel about spell compendium? several spells id like to use from there, or do you want to evaluate on a spell by spell basis?

I would like to evaluate on a spell by spell basis, but it should be ok.

Just out of curiousity, but do you have an idea of when we will be starting Schala? I'm kinda eager to start playing.

I think that it will start September 15th, possibly a bit earlier.  j0lt and Lektor will be the final two players.  I'll try to keep things moving, so that if two days go by without posting, I will try to move things forward if it is possible. 

Also, while I am hammering out the story details - any suggestions on things people want or want to avoid for the feel, theme, etc?

I can't really say, as this is totally new to me. The only one I can say is that I prefer more combat than roleplay, but that's murder in OLG's.

Actually, I've found that there's greater player participation during combat, as each player is interested in the survival of their character.  Conversely, players will remain quiet while NPC interactions occur with PCs that are not theirs.

15th?
I can have a char. ready by then, no biggie.

Though question still remains people:

What spells would you like me to buff you up with?

I know for me stuff like Bull's Strength would be nice. Enlarge Person and Expeditous Retreat too.

To meet ECL 5, would my goblin be a level 5 or 6 rogue?

Should be a level 5 rogue.  They are LA 0, correct?
