I'm going to need to update Wek'tcha, I managed to forget about not changing him to 10th level until yesterday, right after I had made the IC post. Hopefully it won't take me long, but I'm not used to playing at this level.

edit: I think I've got it pretty much done, guess it is easier when I barely have any choices to make this level.

I know, double post, but it fits better here than in the game thread.

I'm thinking that once we get out of this, when we get back to the chapterhouse, we need to look into some sort of dispel magic items, see if the witch hunters have thought of anything like that. Also, I'm thinking lead-lined cloaks, a thin enough layer of lead that it more like lead foil, except that would probably tear too easy, so maybe very very thin mail. Divinations are blocked by a layer of lead, so next time, they don't get to scry us. We could toss them during battle, probably, if the extra weight would be an issue.

Also, Bowen suggested Wek'tcha get a level of barbarian in the battle thread when I mentioned needing pounce. This is more towards Alastar, is the multiclass penalty in play? I assume it is, but I might as well check. Does anyone else know an easy way to get pounce? Is there a ranger variant that gets it? a PrC that could be dipped? I can get the pouncing charge boost in a level or two, but that is a one-per-encounter thing unless I take a full round to refresh my maneuvers.

Also, my lists of stuff have methods for pouncing. There's a new thread over on 339 (which I just added to my handy links, check the last post) which discusses this as well.

No multiclass penalties, take your level of barb if you want.

Thanks, both of you. I checked your list of stuff, but didn't see anything that looked like it would work, so I asked in case I missed something. Hadn't seen the new thread, looking at it now.

edit: Just realized, barbarian is non-lawful only. Wek'tcha is lawful. And the search begins anew...

Travel Devotion gets you pretty much the same effect. Would be best to take it with a Cleric dip ofcourse, but that's a caster...

Didn't realize that goblin was so wounded. Yes, the full attack is continued on the other one. Since two claws hit...

Figured I'd ask about the Energy Drain ability in the Ask a simple question thread to see what the general consensus is. Hope you don't mind, Alastar :)

Not at all, it'll help me sort this out, i see your angle, but i like to think the developpers weren't THAT crazy, and touching usually implies a touch attack.

We'll see what the boards think.

Yeah, I kinda see your point as well. I think there's some confusion because the text doesn't actually say 'touch attack', so the ability can be read as working whenever you touch your opponent, which you do with natural weapon attacks.


EDIT: And that's one for me :P

Let's see if there'll be more replies :)

  :nonono Fair enough and for that matter the link that I posted was a design written by "Nym" errr... Caelic.

Frankly I wouldn't risk my good name on something so trivial as I was an optimizer LONG before I discovered play by post... and I am thusly insulted.  :ahem
Still allow me to ... post an unbiased link.

Give it up Alastar, we've got you outnumbered :P


There's a Soul Eater handbook over on 339 IIRC. That uses the 'drain-with-a-succesful-attack' thing as well.

BTW, just something I thought off. Not sure if any of the goblins have a miss chance or something similar, but Ling Ling has a constant True Seeing effect due to being a Beguiler:

-True Seeing (Su): Beguilers always see as under the effect of a True Seeing  spell.


Figured I'd mention it just in case :)



Also, Moonbolt bites...
Glad Ling Ling is Dex and Int based :P

What's funny is Logan is only one feat and an alignment change away from qualifying for Soul Eater.

Only thing really affected is my Jump check...


Wait, no, I also get a -3 on melee damage...

That goblin is going down :fu

Just hoping he doesn't have IMPROVED Uncanny Dodge :eh
