Wow. Thought I was dealt a blow (TT then they found a growth so more surgery etc) but you trumped me! I hope all goes well Ryfte! Merry Christmas and a happy New Year all

Thanks mate. Yeah, I'd not recommend a torsion testicle to anyone

So I'm back, sort of. Painkillers got me a little messed up so I think I'll look at what I've missed with a clear head tomorrow.

Apologies, I’ve had some RL issues arise. I’ll be back on tomorrow

Creed HP: 18/18 Saves: Fort 8, Ref 8, Will 3 AC: 16, 15 (touch), 13 (flat-footed) Initiative: +7, Speed: 40', Low Light Vision: 60ft, Search: +5, Spot: +9, Listen: +9, Hide: +10, MS: +10, Swim +4 Creed says nothing but raises an eyebrow at the display. There was certainly some power struggles going on here and he appreciated the Hobgoblin was at least forthright. Or maybe. Suspicion flared within him but he was far from a good judge of character. Seeing his fellows go to look at the gear, he looks at most of the worthless gear impassively until something catches his eye. Reaching over he lifts a medallion on a chain and turns it over in his hand, noting the crest of a small, demonic creature on it. With a satisfied "hrmph" he slips the chain over his neck. He picks through the rest of the gear and picks up a pack to pop a few things into. As the others look at him he simply shrugs. However he does pause as the succubus disrobes, never one to disregard beauty he takes all of her in but quickly moves on. He had dallied with a succubus in the past and only trouble had followed. OOC Creed picks up a Drow Insignia (360gp Races of Faerun, pg173) imbued with the 1st level spell Babau Slime. He will also pick up a backpack and load it with a few basic items - I'll list these in my thread.

I think what is trying to be said here is, you are having a number of prospective players not even try creating a character due to poor rolls. Now if you're talking fair play, giving everyone the same rolls or point buy evens the playing field. I'd be more than happy to create a character if there was the opportunity to say "I'd like a 16 str and con with the rest of my stats being average please" rather than rely on the commoner stats I rolled. Hence my pulling pin after seeing the rolls and not wanting to push/annoy the GM.

Can Creed find a Garrotte Ring? Dragon Compendium pg112

Hey mate, I’m in a quarterly business review meeting all day, then out with the GM of the company. So unlikely to be able to post (doing this from the phone) until tomorrow sorry

Not a problem whatsoever :)

So this isn't Eberron? I mean.. it's part of his backstory that he is a shifter Dhampir that came from Eberron, Varna in particular. But I can scratch that if you like?

Creed stalks into the room, obviously annoyed. His eyes narrow at the group sitting at the table and he walks up, eyeing each one as he walks back and forth in front of them. His eyes track each, noting everything he can about them. Then, without a word he grabs a seat and sits in front of the priestess, the seat groaning in protest. Let the talkers talk He thinks as he gauges the threat levels of those in front of him. Casters were annoying but couldn't do much when under a boot.

I'll try to help with your understanding. I think you'll find that a majority of players like to be able to do something well in a game of D&D. But when you get rolls that make you average at best... well no-one plays a fantasy game to be that average guy that doesn't contribute alot. In 3.5, the standard array is 15 14 13 12 10 8. When you get significantly below this with rolls and have no chance to try again, you're not a hero, you're a commoner. Anyway, for those that get to play. Enjoy!

His eyes narrowing as the man runs off, Creed takes a hold of the door and with surging muscles, attempts to rip the door from its hinges. No mortal door should stand up to his strength, at least one never used to be able to. "I don't like cages." He growls as his claw-like hands rip into the wood.

I don’t see any others but I’m trying to think of a way to replicate a Gutbuster

Creed looks past the Succubus and Arcanaloth at the others and rolls his eyes. Shaking his head he continues his examination of the room they are in, ending with inspecting the door itself. Statblock CREED Level 2, HP 18/18, Speed 40ft /x4 AC 16, Touch 15, Flat-footed 13, Fort 8, Ref 8, Will 3, Abilities: Str 18, Dex 16, Con 12, Int 16, Wis 10, Cha 8 Condition: Fast Healing 1 per minute Senses: Low-light Vision 60ft, Spot/Listen +9, Init: +7

With a start Creed wakes, his eyes instantly popping open and taking in his surroundings. He hears the other two talking and rises slowly. Well that was a damn rush he thought as he remembers drinking the paladins blood then passing out. He takes a moment to look at his surroundings, noting the door and lack of anything else. His brain goes into overdrive considering the warm stone and where the witch was going to take them. I'm surprised she actually brought us anywhere and didn't slit our throats. He looks over at Kerapsis and Molgrug. With a nod toward Kerapsis in greeting he eyes Molgrug. In a tone that made it unclear if he is joking or annoyed he notes. "Oh great. You survived."

Level Two... I lost my excel sheet with the build ideas... re-working 1. Monk / Dhampir: HD d8 BAB +1. Saves 2/2/2. Level Monk 1 Abilities, Level 1 Dhampir Abilities, Darkness 3/day 2. Monk / Dhampir: HD d8 BAB +2. Saves 3/3/3. Level Monk 2 Abilities, Level 2 Dhampir Abilities

Nice! I'll need to do the level up and post tonight as kids are keeping my ass in check today!

Muahahahaha... Oh I mean, poor you

Mate. Apologies. Seems I was a bit out of line for making jest. I'll be more serious in the future. I'm sure if you look around you'll find plenty of information on Binders. But again, my suggestion is to play something you'll enjoy rather than filling a hole.

Lol but Succubi aren't generally available at first level either 😅

Who needs Diplomacy or Sense Motive when you have Charm Monster and Suggestion at will? Binders are a great class. The choice of Vestige you bind will depend on what you want to do

My two cents... play what you will find fun. The game will last longer that way

With his fangs buried in the paladin Creed is unable to form words but what comes from him is a growl, deep and feral as he eyes Molgrug who swings wide. He holds the man still and drains him dry.
