BC2009: Brencrawl - Team Vardaen

[DoomulusPrime]

Right, here's the plan for my character:

Agent Dringo Gnimble
Senior Artificer
Division of Tactical Thaumaturgy
Department of Gnomeland Security

Dringo is a gnome of imposing stature and demeanor, with oaken-colored skin and light grey hair. A celebrity in his own right in the Gnomeland, he has come to demonstrate his prowess for the world to see at the current BrenCrawl.

Dringo wears a finely-crafted mithril breastplate over a schnappy blue uniform. "DGS" is embroidered on the uniform's arms, and the outfit is rounded out with shiny black leather boots. He wears a pair of kickin' goggles, which may or may not do nothing. He is carrying some kind of magic satchel, and is laden down with the usual scroll cases, potion belts, and other sundry gear that your standard artificer would bring to the party.

I spoke to Mat

He is also playing a Gnome Rogue, straight out, with Rapier and Shortbow.

So we should be able to do the Teamwork Feats that feature the Ranged Attack stuff.

So the question only remains, what is od going to play?

[od]

Well, the lack of a healer kind of worries me, but I hate playing them. We have alot of rogues and alot of range.

I have therefor decided I shall be a tactical nuke, aka either a psion or wilder with possible interesting prestige class.

I'll have the power to kill a yak at a thousand yards...with mind bullets!...that's telekinesis, but what about the power...to move you?

[Vardaen]

We also have plenty of Wands in use, the Artificer will have healing wands, so who cares about a cleric. So we can't turn undead, big deal.

Lets make sure we look into the ranged teamwork feats so...

Indirect Fire:
Team Leader: +6 BAB and Precise Shot
Team Members: Spot 3 Ranks
Beni: If a spotter has a clear line of sight to a target, he can as a move action relay this info to the party, reducing cover bonus by half, giving a second chance to roll concealment, and even allow a second roll vs an invisible target if the spotter can see invisible.

Easy for us to get.

Missle Volley:
Team Leader Precise Shot and Far Shot
Team Members: Point Blank Shot
Beni: If we all ready attacks and shoot the same target, everyone gets +1 for each person involved in this move (+6 if the whole team does it).

Also not that hard to do since our ranged leader (likely Joni or Mat) will have Precise and Far Shot plus the BAB easily. Everyone taking 3 ranks in spot is easy, and probably smart, and taking Point Blank can help all those that shoot bows, guns, potion, cabers, or mind ray bullets.

The other two easy ones to get are

Awareness
Team Leader: Listen and Spot Ranks 12 Each
Team Members: Rank 2 Listen OR Spot. Which we will have from the other Teamwork Feat already.
Beni: Everyone gets +2 to spot and listen checks if within 30ft of team member.

Superior Team Effort
Team Leader: 8 Ranks in a Any Skill, Skill Focus in skill (I'm thinking Perform: XCrawl or other usefull skill)
Team Members: 1 Rank of said skill
Beni: Aid another DCs are 5 instead of 10

This would let us aid each other in mug checks, etc for bonus fame, etc. But this is sort of the last resort Team Work Feat since its the 'cheapest' bonus in my book.

[Vardaen]

JP just let me know he's ordered all our figs at this point...

Except for od...so what are you playing?

[Brennor]

with mind bullets!...that's telekinesis, but what about the power...to move you?

Nice little sneak in of some Tenacious D in there...

[Vardaen]

I believe everyone has given jigglypuff their character appearance ideas at this point. If you haven't, lets do it ASAP.

Also now that we are at this stage we should start working on char generation and work out some of the details.

[Vardaen]

How goes are Char Gen?

od I really have no idea what your character status is.

I know Pyg finished on version of Swank, but might opt for a different one.

The Doc is particially done for me.

I heard that Mat and Doom both have mostly finished their guys as well.

I have to work on the basic stats for Joni's Gun Bunny still as well. (as requested)

[od]

I haven't done jack for him. But he's just a straight psion, no prestige classes etc. The biggest thing with him is going to be figuring out feats.

Assume he's a walking pile of combat death and utility powers...since a psion has a bajillion powers at that level.

If there is a particualr power/psionic item you think I should grab let me know. He'll really only take a few hours to draw up.

[pygmaelion]

Hey, Is Joni's Gun Bunny still Schizophrenic?
