    I probably would have killed the party's invoker on the second encounter of the campaign if the archers hadn't rolled a series of 3s every time. I don't feel bad about this, he went off through a back door in a town that was under siege, and tried to take on an ogre and two hobgoblins simultaneously.

    He got knocked out for his troubles, but I think he got a nice YOU. SHALL. NOT. PASS. moment out of it

    Well, his intentions weren't so heroic. I think he went out the back to kill the two poker players and steal their gold and happened to come across a pretty awful fuck fest for him till the bard and I heard explosions.

    Alright, now all I need is a backround and a name

    http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=135767

    How did you get your ability scores, it looks like you started with 14, 14, 12, 12, 10, 10 before race modifiers. That seems a bit low considering 14, 14, 14, 14, 10, 10 is one of the sample arrays.

    At level 4 you also get a +1 bonus to any two ability scores, so don't forget that.

    Speaking of which, if you bumped your strength up to 13 or more you would qualify for Chainmail Proficiency instead of Hide, that'd give you an additional 3 AC over Hide in return for your speed being reduced by one. Not bad at all if you are considering being on the frontlines much which is a very attractive tactic for infernal warlocks (You can safely attack from pointblank while flanking with a fighter, getting you primeshot and combat advantage and if they try and take an opportunity attack they'll have to deal with the fighter's challenge and your Hellish Rebuke damage).

    Also, for your dilettante power you've got cleave chosen, considering melee training only effects basic attacks and not powers, I would suggest swapping that for a weapon attack that keys off of charisma or constitution. The first ones that come to mind are the bard's two weapon at-wills, both of which seem like they'd work very well for your character.
    Guiding Strike
    At Will * Arcane, Weapon

    Target: One Creature
    Attack: Charisma vs. AC
    Hit: 1[W] +Charisma Modifier damage, and the target takes a -2 penalty to the defense of your choice until the end of your next turn.

    War Song Strike
    At Will * Arcane, Weapon

    Target: One Creature
    Attack: Charisma vs. AC
    Hit: 1[W] +Charisma Modifier damage, and any ally who hits the target before the end of your next turn gains temporary hitpoints equal to your Constitution modifier. (!)

    That was pretty awesome.

    We shot lots of things out of cannons in a bit inspired by Rocket Slime.

    Including our pygmy friend who we found in carceri, where he apparently had been for some time as a revanant ranger.

    Also our pygmy stole a dwarf beard and wore it as a wig.

    Because he's basically just a skeleton now, you see.

    So he basically looks like those damnable pygmy skeleton dudes in Diablo 2 but with a troll-doll-esque haircut

    Edit: Rachel is drawing the pygmy now, hell yeah

    Our adventures have steadily been growing more absurd. Not that I'm opposed to it, it's hilarious.

    I mean, tonight I threw a flesh golem off a platform, only to encounter it again in the final battle

    shooting out of a cannon from the enemy tank going towards us

    I shoved it back in our cannon when it came into our tank

    and eventually we splattered it against a tank

    but of course it got fixed and accompanied us back to our fortress, along with a bear and a succubus that looks like Tim Curry in the Rocky Horror Picture Show

    Looking back on it, I was really tired, but I think I chose 16, 15, 12, 11, 10, and I added 1 to Charisma and 1 to strength, and I totally forgot about the racial bonus. I just redid the stats and added my bonus to Strength and Intel, so I can bypass chainmail altogether and go straight to Scale, bumping my AC up to 21 and giving me only -1 to speed.

    Overall, I think I made a pretty good character.

    So I bought 20 pints of oil and some flint and steel at the last town (which I got to use today to burn a couple of troll bodies). I also bought a crowbar, just in case I need to beat someone.

    What mundane items do you guys like to stock up on?

    I always forget to buy oil. I've had a lantern since our first adventure, but I only ever bought one pint of oil with it, which I then used to burn down a door.

    I always keep 50 feet of chain and 50 feet of silken rope, as well as 4 grappling hooks, and 2 climbing kits in a bag of holding.

    I've used it to secretly secure a pirate ship to a dock, secure a sleeping dragon, and secure a bunch of elven prisoners.

    I was thinking about drawing my own, but those look pretty rad

    hmmmm

    Also, I know that this is the wrong thread, but does anyone know any good cures for sun burn? I already took a cold shower, used a shit ton of moisturizers, put white vinegar on the burned areas, and I'm currently spreading pure aloe vera.
    Despite all this, my legs and back still burn a bit. My legs also seem a bit swollen.

    Never fall asleep at the beach without sunscreen.

    it may feel a bit gross but it helps sunburns a lot

    The thing I'm most worried about at the moment is the swelling.

    Oh, and the horrible, stabbing, burning pain

    I'm a little jealous of Dubh's location; not only is it pretty beautiful, but it's much cooler up in the mountains (was still warm in the evening, though)

    I am pretty damn pleased with DE?AD's character's drawing
