Anyone interested in some Pirates? [3.5]

[Prime32]

... am I too late to show interest in this? 

I'm thinking on a Rogue/Swashbuckler.... race still undefined...

Shifter?

A Feral Erroll Flynn if you will

I don't get it.
Do I want to get it?

Oh, that. Yeah, got it now.

[Shadowhunter]

Nice, now to figure out what to play.
Hrrm.
It's got to be something worth playing from the get-go, at worst within a level or two, given the nature of PbP's...
I'm leaning towards the same concept as you, Risada..

Littha, question:

This is the thread in which the original author of the Invisible Blade states that if you use the printed 5-level PrC you should swap the required feats for Weapon Focus (dagger/punching dagger/kukri) and Weapon Finesse.
Is it okay to use this "errata" ?
Because the ranged feats are somewhat of a resource sink.

If it's okay, I have a build in mind.

On the other hand, I could try something else. I'll get back to this when I have more ideas.


+++EDIT+++

Or perhaps a generalist grey elf wizard from Aundair.
Or something with a bit more punch, perhaps a Warblade of some sort.

[altpersona]

theres a halfling mage hand based char iv always wanted to try... it needs refined and retooled, but it got a built in drown resistant feature.. suffers from uselessness early on i think...

[Sohala]

How do you feel about allowing JPM's arcane wrath apply to ranged attacks?

Cant seem to load the page, blame it on crappy internet here at the moment...

I do however agree that invisible blade has no reason to require ranged feats but it already requires weapon focus as one of its requirements so i would be more inclined to require 3 feats as printed. As such:

Feats: Weapon Focus (dagger, punching dagger or kukri) , Weapon Finesse, Dodge

Sohala:
I would rather keep it as a melee ability, you cant do manoeuvres with ranged weapons and changing the range on arcane wrath encourages people to completely ignore the manoeuvres part of the class.

[PhaedrusXY]

It was intended to be a 10 level prestige class, which did get some ranged abilities. That's why it had the ranged feats. Here is the original version, before the Dragon Mag editors took their daggers to it.

[Nanshork]

Savage Tides?  I'll throw my hat in.  You know you want me to play with you.  

[Sohala]

Alright, was planning on strikeless stuff, but eh. Guess I got to find another way to sac slots for increased gun damage.

Any ideas btw, I can't recall any non-melee channeling.

You might try Smiting Spell (PHB2), or a psionic alternative... there is a power that makes an attack with the weapon deal +4d6 acid damage, but doesn`t say if we can use the "50 ammunition units per cast" affected...

[Krika]

Littha, could I find out the answer? Does a Kobold with Dragonwrought count as a true dragon, and can there for take feats and such with the prerequisite True Dragon?

And can I use warmage instead of sorcerer for the various things kobolds have with them (Greater Rite of Passage, feat prerequisites, etc?)

[Littha]

I'm firmly behind the kobolds are true dragons stance for a RAW argument but for actually playing a game rather than just as a thought experiment I will have to say no. I will however accept variant sorcerers (Beguiler, Warmage, Dread Necromancer) for feat or feature that requires sorcerer levels (subject to individual verification).

[Risada]

Hey Littha, how many players you already have at the moment?

[Littha]

Not sure, need 6.

Can anyone who is volunteering to play make a post with  so i can make a list.

Sadly both add a round to pull off.

Was going to try for deep crystal weapon + arcane wrath for decent single shots. But now I don't know...sneak attack looks like a decent way to boost damage, but I only know of arcane/rogue prc, not psionic/rogue.

[Agita]

All who have expressed interest:

Sohala
Shadowhunter
endgamecutter
BowenSilverclaw
altpersona
Krika
Risada
Nanshork

No matter what, Littha will have to make some decisions.
A few have posted saying that they're in too many games as it is. Phaedrus, veekie, and Prime have posted but not explicitly expressed interest. Myself, I'm holding out to see if I get accepted into a game that's closing apps today. If not, I'll strongly consider throwing my hat into the ring. If not, it'll be a tough decision.

I generally allow psi versions of arcane classes, psionics needs the buff.

On the subject of players I didn't realise we had so much interest.  I really don't like turning people down but player with a better knowledge of Eberron (because I don't know all that much myself and can use the help)  or the most interesting character ideas will likley get in.

Bear in mind this is a pre written module when coming up with character ideas, it can be run by a sword and board fighter, healbot cleric monk and sorcerer so we don't need to be particularly optimised. Take it as an opportunity to use fun but sub optimal classes and the like,

I like to think that I know a lot about Eberron. I do have all or nearly all Eberron books, and it's by far my favorite campaign setting.
As for a character concept, I was thinking either a Warforged who defected from the Lord of Blades's cause but still had some prejudice within him, and would spend half the time snarking about fleshies and the other half philosophizing, or a Halfling Artificer with some ties to the halfling who stole the secret of elemental binding from the gnomes and would thus have basically the entire Trust after him.
...I probably should stop plugging myself when I'm not yet sure if I'll even try to get it.

Really? I heard somewhere that this module was higher-powered than the usual fare.

[Littha]

It is slightly more powerful than usual but it is just about physically impossible for people on this forum to make characters so bad they will die doing this.

So... no excessive WBL multiplication and metamagic spell trigger cheese?
