You're welcome to join, bayar. Midnight_V is looking for a team.
Also, that Tarrasque thread was awesome.
Phaedrus, I think we should keep it at groups of 4 for the time being. I'm not going to close this thread anytime soon, so if Midnight & bayar can't make a 4th team immediately, it's not terrible. They can wait for 2 more members or be on standby if anyone drops out. Or both, truth be told.
I know I said I'd have the subforum up, but I've run into an error that I'm working on getting sorted out behind the scenes that's stopping me from opening a subforum right now. As soon as it's fixed, we'll be underway.
Everything said about items by SDK is good & accurate. If you want your item to talk to you, fine. That's a flavor thing that I don't really care about. If you want it do anything at all, I'll point you to this reiteration of a ruling:
Only pets from class features can be used in the gauntlet.No leadership, no hirelings, no intelligent items, nothing of that sort. Tough it out.
I'll get with SDK when he's online next and discuss the item/spells version/update/errata/variety/i/like/words/and/slashes/etc issue and get back to you all.
