It always seems like the barrels around here have something in them.

I've been thinking, and I'm not sure if my first proper character should have Vow of Poverty. My alignment may shift, and loot is an important part of the game.

If you're okay with sticking with it for a bit longer, I have no problem with you retraining his feats at level up. Or would you like to retrain it right now?

My character's stats have not played any part in the game so far, so I was hoping for a retcon.

It looks okay to me. Why Kiai Shout, though? It doesn't seem that effective... :shrug

Is it still the same build plan?

Look player's guide to faerun for a regional feat that does exactly that. Every time you attack, cast a spell or charge you get a 20ft fear aura. I don't remember the name though :S

Yeah. I don't think I can qualify for Dervish, though.

Rather than Kiai Shout, I could take Goad, Combat Panache (requires 8 ranks in Bluff, Intimidate and Perform) or Disturbing Visage (requires Quick Change, both can be taken as Cabinet Trickster bonus feats)

Hmmm... Dreadful Wrath? Lower radius, and can only target a creature once/24 hours, but no HD limit, does not require an action, and can be used any number of times per day. That does look better.


EDIT: Incidentally, I'll be taking two fighter level as part of the build, and I plan to use the Hit and Run variant from Drow of the Underdark.

Also, I haven't been very active in the game, but I figure a changeling wouldn't want to draw too much attention to himself. Right now, he suspects that one of Silkur's rivals might have cast some kind of enchantment on the town, but he will not risk bringing this up with the captain around.

Whether his methods were magical or mundane, though, the main thing is that Tiv sees a powerful mastermind in the shadows. As someone disguising his true nature, he is paranoid wary of deception, but he may become more open if he sees Dusk walking around without hassle.

Sorry it took me a couple days to update, everyone. I've been a bit under the weather and haven't been thinking straight. :P Anyways, I'm to however much rping each of you want to do, so if you want to rp the walk to the guild and any questions you have, that'd cool or if you just want a "Bob spends the time before dinner asking around the market about Silkur" that's fine too. Go ahead and roll gather informations while you do either :D  And if I missed something, don't be afraid to point it out :D

I think I'm going to move to making one post every day or every other day unless I'm the last post in the thread. I've been waiting for a couple people to post each time, but it's just moving so slow.  ???
