You should join us, we still need a Mordred!
You really want me to join your side just to ultimately betray you? Quite the masochist, aren't we?  :lol
Maybe I could be the Lancelot of the group, and sleep with AJ's hot wife.   :P

I do like the idea of playing a character questing to restore glory, but I'm not as keen on making an Arthurian kingdom as such.
I was thinking of ways you could be on both sides.  :D
Maybe AJ should name his cohort Mordred...

Restoring glory and bringing peace and prosperity through a code of honour and chivalry is the pull of the Arthurian legend. I think you might fit in better than you think...

The hot wife is likely to fry your rear if you are not careful. Yes. She's the cohort... ;)

See, that's just in keeping with continuity. It's just a lot more literal than it was in the legends. XD

So, where does a Half-Ram Warrior fit into the Arthurian Court? :)
I can certainly go with a different race, I'd just like to try something different. Of course, I've got to find some Race/Class combination that fits well, too.

I am aiming for egalitarian, so he would be fine. Might have some issues with steep stairs and/or ladders, but otherwise, he'll be good to go.

OK. Gotta ask here, Strat:

What is considered Tier 2-3?

I mean:
Beguiler 1/Wizard 4/Ultimate Magus x
Sorcerer 5/Sandshaper 1/Frostmage x
Dread Necro 6/Rainbow Servant x
Favoured Soul 4/Church Inquisitor 4/Sacred Exorcist 1
Psion 5

??

I'm just happy I've been noticed!

Ok, seriously, we've got a country ravaged by the empire falling, wars breaking out between provinces, and bandits running wild, and NOBODY wants to start a Cult of the Damned with me!?

Unlike in many other situations, though, in a Cult of the Damned you're allowed to kill the politicians.  :D

Well, what do you plan for your character, exactly?

Sorcerer 5/Sandshaper 1/Frostmage x

That'll be Frostmage 4, since the levels above that grants very little ;)

Before giving the advice that build X would be better of with Fist of the Forest, take a long, good look at Primal Living. Twice.

Sorcerer 5/Sandshaper 1/Frostmage x
Dread Necro 6/Rainbow Servant x

would probably be the two closest. Psion is also fine, since that's a class that depends very much on build and sourcebook.

Cult of the Damned would be rather interesting, but what are the long term goals? Kill everyone? Make them all zombies?

Cult of the Damned Goal Sourcebook:
1. Kill Everyone.
2. Feed their souls to demons and raise their bodies as zombies.
3. ???
4. PROFIT!

I have a build that is Sorcerer 5/Sandshaper 1/Frostmage 4/Fiendblooded 9/Frostmage +x

The only problem is that in this game, that is probably too many feats required. That game gave Eschew Materials to Sorcs for free, nixed all Touchstone feats, and Know: the Planes was folded into Know: Arcana.

OK, then. No Heighten/Versatile cheese for level 2 RS. I'll go standard stuff.

Finalized the list of civilizations and areas. There are 26, and I'll try and work on a map. If anyone has a recommended continent mapping program, let me know.

Civ 4 world builder. Good visual representation, and you can zoom in and out as needed. Take a screenshot and crop out the other bits.


Also, can you place us somewhere north-ish, and but away from the ravening hordes for now, please? :P

There's three other northern 'Civs'. Helfarn (Woodlands), The Crying Mountains (cold, bitter mountains), and Hania (Flying Cities, decrepit civilization).

You may want to head south, AJ. The ravening hordes populate like bunnies. There will be raping and pillaging galore! ;)

Who would be interesting in me working on starting area specific benefits ? Not all of them will be applicable to all classes. Generally, warrior societies will be martial, arcane, arcane, and divine, divine. I'd be basing them off of the eras the names were taken from.

Not if we are in the flying cities. You can walk all over the ground if you want.
