Gimme

"Let us go. The adventure is nigh."

Fly to our dirigible.

My computer drawing skills are terrible, and I don't have a defined universe because I'm ad-libbing the story, so no .

Only because I'm eager to get a solid map of what's going on and such, would it be feasible to gen a world in DF to make the map (Maybe put it in a tileset so it looks nicer/easier to understand, but not necessary), and then just use that for our whole-world map? Of course, don't bother with any of the good/evil areas or towns and such- those could be just you (just use MS paint and mark a few points, and type in a town name or "Trolls Here" or something).


On another note,

I vote you roll a 1d4 to determine the answer.

This is kind of (Read as: Exactly) what I was going to do for my vote...

Going over my spells now. Remuthra, I think I'll take the spell list of a Bahamut's Favored Soul as my second list. Which means all sorcerer spells.

How do you guys like to protect your spellbook?

Explosive Runes. Get them.

Also, keep a dozen spellbooks. Keep one in your portable hole/backpack/etc, one in your pocket, one shrunk down and worn as a necklace, one in your boot, and one buried under a crossroads.

And keep one or two in your friends' portable holes/extradimensional spaces

Also, for the construction of our castle, look here. It doesn't give weights, but I'm sure there's a lighter stone we could use (as evidenced by pseudo-Mithral Dwarven Stone Plate).

This sucker's gonna be real expensive (Reading most of the manual now), but I see potential to cut some costs.. First, we need to use a permanent gust of wind spell, and also use planar sails (So instead of having to furnish each and every space with movement/planar travel, we can just hoist the sails and sail through the planes). Also, I request that it be made to drive in the same fashion as an apparatus of the crab (10 levers, and a full-round action to activate each one; we also need to leave them unmarked for extra fun)

I'd be tempted to say woodworking or stonemasonry, just for the sake of being able to A) Repair the Mobile Base of Operations(Carpentry) B) Help townspeople (?) and get support (Maybe not, but hey, it's possible)(For both) C) Somewhere I read that stone-mason checks can be made to learn about walls/find weak spots (I kind of want to break down walls because can- maybe more relevant after my supahstrong troll actually enters as a char- don't have full items or description/background; don't quite know how I'm going to justify a dragon and a troll).

Although, Trapmaking comes to mind (But the rogue doesn't have the proper skills to set traps.. I might reallocate since we haven't started yet)

I'm reluctant to say armorsmith or weaponsmith, mostly because, as ECL 14's, most of us have weapons far superior to that you could make (Although.. If you got both, we could hire mercs without equipment- cheaper, and with consistent masterworks, wouldn't be any worse)

Edit: I've finally got the basics of my character worked out. Ten levels of Archivist, followed by four races, and two templates. I'll explain the templates in a moment.

His mother was a half Kendar, half Pixie, which, by half breed rules (average of LAs + 1), comes out to +3 LA. His father was a half Lupine, half Illumian. The Lupine was Kord-blooded (MMV), +1 LA, totaling +2 LA. The Illumian was a Mulhorandi Divine Minion (Here), +2 LA. This comes out to be +3 LA, and the final mixing creating me gives me +4 LA.
Gods above, I love powergaming!

Sorry, (From the OP):

*snip*
Each player begins at ECL 14, and they may only be Level 10 at most (or, in other words, through templates and advanced races, you must have an LA of at least 4, including racial Hit Dice), and may only apply one template.

Aye, but stone fits thematically.

Also, I would have a Strength of 44 before magic items. I can make the Strength check. Usually. But in any case, I don't know how much of a benefit Mithral would be(I suppose it could get me another +2 to AC from Dex, though) versus other things.

Possibly not a Crusader; a Paladin/Cavalier or Paladin/Ranger(or all three) mounted charger would be hilariously ridiculous; thanks to my sheer power, I would function on land, too. The question is what sort of mount to use and how to acquire it. And whether I would be able to.

On the mounts; it looks like the only things big enough are Dragons (Which actually have mount rules, and never once says they cost more for having an older dragon) And Scorpions/Spiders (You have to use colossal though- something about riding too low, so you have to use an extra size bigger.. Don't worry, they come in colossal too.-also, it states a price for egg/training, but it never says that it costs any more for a bigger one .. 2000 GP for a Colossal Spider Mount? Sounds fair to me) You could also theoretically use a soarwhale (Colossal size, and only 20' flying speed, but hey- It's a giant friggin' whale, what do you expect?), but I'm not finding much else (Arms and Equipment Guide for the Win!)

EDIT: Just realized that two of our backups are just big, strong, incredibly strong "Monsters"... I feel like our first roll is all going to be ranged glass cannons, and our second roll is going to be all incredibly strong melees/War hulks.
