Hi,
I've an old character sheet at myth-weavers, but it is not 100% compatible with the sheet you had in our private threads...
I still need to update it a little, and fix the HP/STAT with the new rolls.
And check the gold for the bombs and the magic items again...

https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheets/?id=637727
The background story is in the private notes section.

Is unseen character sheets preferred? I think it will take time to insert the spells there as it need to be entered one by one...

apparently it is 8hp + 8d8 + 8x2 and not 9d8+7x2... So should I roll 8d8 again or remove the average for one level?
HP: 66 (+20 Familiar??, +1 level)
Where is the +3 for projectile attack from DEX should be? it's in the +6 projectile?
if so I think it need to be changed to +7 since DEX gone from 18->19.

[BishGada]

how do you insert an image inside inside the text and not as attachment?
\[img\] doesnt work with google drive link.

Also, how do you get to the +6 projectile? You accumulate STR bonus, DEX bonus and halfling trait?

And where can I find the Granted Powers? - No matter. Found in purple worm...

So looking at the sheet, if I keep the DEX 19, I think to hit for projectiles should get +1 above current sheet, but if the character will mainly use spells and not weapons, than 20 extra HP might be better than -1 AC and saving throws and +1 projectile. Dilemmas...

I need to check if to change the spells.
Revisit magical items and update the myth-weaver/unseen character sheet accordingly.
Oh.. I miss Yelb with his limited wish to make spells semi-permanent!


Oh... I see you change the ioun stones rule to no more than one. I had two ioun stone to store spell levels. One had 5 levels, the other 12...
What would you want me do?

I'm probably missing something... The only magical items I can detect with the old character is: 2 ioun stones, pearl of wisdom and sling of seeking...
it sums to 2100xp. right? it seems too low, no?
now you allow 7500xp + bag of holding variants...


Thanks.

[BishGada]

Also, you get a free bag of holding (roll 1d4 for type) OR a girdle of many pouches, OR a Hewards Handy Haversack

It seems that if one is not luck to get 3 or four in 1d4, girdle of many pouches both hold more volume and if more organized and easy to use. But will using such girdle prevent using other girdles? Such as giant strength?

[TristenC]

Any of the off site sheets is fine as long as you maintain them and link them here. I am also keeping a
forum text copy in the first post of this thread.

Or you can just keep a text copy here like we did previously; you don't have to use any off-site sheet things if you don't want.

The girdle will not operate with another girdle at the same time.

I embed hyperlink images with {img]http://url[/img}
*Added { instead of [ so the code would make it visible to you.

Thrown objects add str and dex to hit but only str to damage
halflings get +1 to thrown items but not things like slings

Haha, yeah lots of decisions

I think the ioun stone rule was always 1, not sure why you have 2. You can -have- 2 if you want but you can only use 1 each day. So if one is destroyed you could swap to the weaker one i guess...

Otherwise if you only want 1 and the two you have are clearly very different; I would say you can either
-reroll for it
-take the rough average of the two (9 slots)

Your str says 4(18/00) so you probably have gauntlets of ogre strength as well
not sure about the rest, maybe you just weren't finished spending it all

[BishGada]

image embedding doesn't work for me with shared image from google drive. Maybe it is because the address has https and not http...




hmm... ok... it is not the security. One image works and the other doesn't...

So this is the Quasit from now on.

You are correct about the ogre power. And it will be losing 8 levels of spells... practically resurrection+ :/
Oh well...
I guess I still have time to decide of magic items... and (DEX 19 + CON 14) or (DEX 17 + CON 16).
And I need to read the spells again and the proficiencies...



Ah Ha! Nothing will stand in the way of Ke'Sha the mighty!
Apparently you need to convert the link that google drive provides with a link to the actual image. (the original is a request that their server processes and then shows the image...) and there are sites with tools to make the conversion.

[TristenC]

Hahaha, nice. I mean.. the quasit could look like a tuxedo cat with a red bandana that flies... they can take forms other than their natural one to keep from freaking people out (although that might be what you are going for)

[BishGada]

So...
My current thoughts:

Magical items:
ioun stone of wisdo, 300
Pearl of wisdom 500
Gem of insight 3000
Full plate +2 1000
Ogre power 1000
Stone of Controlling Earth Elementals 1500

I still have 200XP to use...

Now, this brings me to 23 WIS. I hope you will allow it. This way these items kind of replace the ioun stones of spell storing.
If I take girdle of giant STR I'm 300XP short, but I think ogre power/giant STR doesn't change much. So I'm good with that, but mostly out of curiosity I'd like to know if you allow such 300XP glitch.

About the stone of controlling earth elemental - well... what do you think in general? And what do you think could be amazing thing to have similar magical items to summon and control some kind of creature of the undead? 12HD/8HD depends on conditions... Even though lich is only 11 HD and vampire 9HD, and elementals has many spells 'at will' and they are big... But if you know of such undead or something that will be unique and cool for this character, I think it can work nicer than the elemental.

I saw the deck of many things doesn't require XP and is not cursed... So could I select specific card that adds +2 wis?

Now about the "CON / DEX preferences", I think I'll go with extra CON and HP since the + for the armor is kinda having the same purpose as the +DEX and in the labyrinth every HP count.

So, final decisions are waiting for your feedback and also you wanted to check if the Quasit adds HP to the character.

I saw Styrious is going for psionics. Would the enemies have psionics as well? Is it bid disadvantage to go without it?

[TristenC]

Not sure how you got to 23 wisdom.
The base max by raw stats is 18,
there doesn't seem to be a racial wis bonus
The ioun stone wouldn't really help because the description says it only increases wis to a max of 18.
The gem of insight and pearl of wis would stack and he would be at 20 wis, which is fine.
you could the ioun stone of spell storing we discussed (1 stone, 9 spell levels)

the controlling earth elementals is fine, but you have no way to summon one thag i know of unless you buy a scroll of summon elemental... then you already would have control of it. There are other summoning spells/scrolls if you want something similar you can buy without creating custom magic items.

There isnsomething specific between the gauntlets and girdle of strength, I forget exactly what off-hand. the item descriptions detail it all.

No selections from the deck of many things. The entire premise is that it is random and might be great or terrible, so certainly not using it here.

Yeah, Styrius is going with a Psionicist. It eill be the first psion i have dm'ed in this module. I cannot sag if it will be better or worse for him, but it will certainly be interesting

[BishGada]

From purple worm: Athasian halfling: Ability Score Adjustments: +2 to Dexterity; +2 to Wisdom; -2 to Strength; -1 to Constitution; -1 to Charisma

So it should stack to 22, but indeed the ioun stone won't do.

From the description: (It's in the core books):
Stone of Controlling Earth Elementals
(Source: Dungeon Masters Guide, 2nd Edition): : A
stone of this nature is typically an oddly shaped bit
of roughly polished rock. The possessor of such a
stone need but utter a single command word, and
an earth elemental of 12-Hit-Dice size will come to
the summoner if earth is available, an 8-Hit-Dice
elemental if rough, unhewn stone is the summoning
medium. (An earth elemental cannot be summoned
from worked stone, but one can be from mud, clay,
or even sand, although one from sand is an eightdice monster.) The area of summoning for an earth
elemental must be at least 4 feet square and have
four cubic yards volume. The elemental will appear
in 1d4 rounds. For detailed information about
elementals and their control see the Monstrous
Compendium. The stone can be used to summon
one elemental per day

Ah, I had forgotten he was Athasian halfling. Ok, 22 it is.

...man, i must have been tired or distracted when i replied. That is pretty clear. Ok, no problemo. I would advise looking over the 'control' rules mentioned in the monster manual as well, elementals can be dangerous things.

Right, but would you think that having custom magical item for summoning and controlling undead, similar to the elemental would be awesome?
If not, I'll keep it with elementals...

[TristenC]

The thing about elementals is that they come from somewhere else and appear. if you lose control they return to their home plane or attack
To create and control undead, you need a corpse or spirit of some kind, and they don't just vanish when you lose control of them they are still around.
We can think about an item of undead control, but Ke Sha already has quite a bit of undead control from his priesthood to the Lord of Undeath, so I'm not sure what it would really gain him.

[BishGada]

I thought more of the summoning, not the control. Portal to the underworld to call upon suffering souls? Fetch one at a time and enslave it? Strong enough in power to match 12HD elemental...
But if not, elementals would be fine.
