Olwyn steps lightly as she treads the dirt trail; her sword clinking lightly against the back of her chain-mail. It had been several days since her last visit to a settlement. "Excuse me, where can I find the nearest tavern?" she spoke to the nearest onlooker, expecting an answer.

OOC: I'll participate in a round or two!

Under your saves, it reads: melee, grapple, ranged. Page 1.

Given that you’re a Warblade/Beguiler, I think W for Warblade makes a lot more sense. But ok.

Thanks for the help with the maneuvers. I don’t think they’re as well known as, say, haste or magic missile.

Reflex save is too low, please add INT.
At medium load, you move 20’, and your ‘armor’ check penalty is -3.

Oh I see what you were talking about now. Okay so I add grapple in and I typo'd my armour, it was supposed to be a chain shirt. I also add Int to Reflex saves.

Its a shame people don't know more about ToB it really adds so much to melee.

official comments:

• Some feats are marked with a B? What’ s that?
• grapple isn’t filled out
• what does battle clarity do for your saves?
• please cram your maneuvers known into your character sheet someplace. The column to the right of your spells would work.

 

personal 2cp:

• Interesting. In practice, this might play out like a Fighter/Magic-User/Thief from back in the day.
• Watch the encumbrance. You’re over light load with just armor and weapons, so no tumbling or evasion for you. Please double-check movement.

I marked my bonus feats from Warblade with a B so that you could see that they came from a class ability/feature.

I don't know what you are referring to when you say that grapple isn't filled out. Do you mean the grappling hook or some kind of defence that I did not see on the sheet?

I went and made information about my known ToB features available through OOC will this work?

Also I have placed the stance & maneuver information into "other notes" since the spell area will likely eventually fill up.

The stance as written;

STANCE OF CLARITY
Diamond Mind (Stance)
Level: Swordsage 1, warblade 1
Initiation Action: 1 swift action

While you are in this stance, you must choose a single opponent as your target at the start of your turn. You gain a +2 insight bonus to AC against that foe until you change the target of this stance. You take a –2 penalty to AC against all other opponents while using stance of clarity.

Extra post for tracking xp & gold gains.

Olwyn steps lightly as she treads the dirt trail; her sword clinking lightly against the back of her chain-mail. It had been several days since her last visit to a settlement. "Excuse me, where can I find the nearest tavern?" she spoke to the nearest onlooker, expecting an answer.

Spells known are equal to the number of spells I can cast in a day and are detailed in the example post in OOC quotes under 0 & 1 respectively.

Name: Olwyn Neresse

Level: 3

Deity: Shar, Mistress of the Night.

Race, Class: Female Grey Elf, Warblade/Beguiler.

Loyalties: Shar Mistress of the Night & Ebon Cabal.

Character Concept: A secondary fighter with useful battlefield control & social skills.

Description: This grey skinned red haired male appears to be observing the room with the utmost concentration. His lips are pursed and it appears he is in pursuit of something that does not seem to be present. A sword sized for a medium creature rests on the left side where the appropriate hand currently rests; just above it slung over the shoulder is an oak short-bow accompanied by a quiver and arrows to match. Woolen fabrics comprised of pocketed pants and a loose fit shirt can be seen beneath the straps of leather that coat the individuals body; studded bolts of iron indicating the tightly placed leathers are for protection and not for show. Upon closer examination the few layered portions of his dress appear thicker than others in the upper body and a hood generally used to protect from rain or wind appears detached from beneath the aforementioned wool shirt.

Personalty; Considerably uptight about cleanliness and hygiene Olwyn enjoys the comforts of living at home. She is fond of organizing both her daily life and objects that just seem 'out of place' often catching herself instinctively reaching for something that might not belong to her; simply to put it where it belongs. While not obsessing over benign differences in the height of two conjoined mirrors or correcting the 'slightly' out of place painting on a friends wall she can be quite forward thinking and straight to the point. Not interested in wasting time on wordplay unless it is a necessary part of the conversation she likes to be quick about what she wants and achieve her interests swiftly.

Professionally she considers herself to be a skilled spell-caster and adept at information gathering. Her skills are considerably sharp and while working for an employer or to fulfill her own interests she can be quite deceptive. She prefers to use the guise of a merchant to approach new settlements and make new friends; often portraying herself as entitled and wealthy to pry information out of common folk. This ruse has served her quite well in her past and continues to do so. While not quick to object to assistance she can occasionally butt heads with particularly rowdy individuals who may conflict with her skills in the field.

Origin: The daughter of a modest merchant from the city of Sumberton; Olwyn knew no conflict or perils throughout her early life. Her father who was quite a proud man in his haste to better his career makes a deal with the Ebon Cabal sparking rebellion from his daughter. Later in the same year the fruits of Olwyns labour come to fruition and the deal is broken but in doing so she seals the fate of her family and inevitably causes their deaths at the behest of the Cabal. Angry, desperate, and alone, she is left to fend for herself in the township she once considered her home. When the spring finally comes around the following year she sets out to mete out her own brand of justice but waivers lacking the courage to stand up to such a powerful organization. Believing herself to be quite cunning she instead chooses to join the Cabal in order to enact subterfuge from within the wizardly society and in turn gains some select skills through the process.
 
She is a woman who masquerades as a male warrior; in search of vengeance against those who conspired against her family. She is owed a dept of blood and no man or beast will get in the way of her fury.

Prologue: Born to a family of merchants of modest wealth and renown; Olwyn's childhood was widely uneventful until her early to late preadolescent years. She received an appropriate education at one of the many temples within Sumberton the largest and most populous of cities within the valley of obelisks as well as formal defence practice at the behest of her mother; a practised and former tutor. The city offered little excitement throughout the year but festivals that dot the calendar brought many joys and fond memories that bound her to the family she knew and loved.

Her father, who at the time of her birth was quite satisfied with his work; would later take part in an act of defiance against his own beliefs and join the notorious Ebon Cabal to shore up profits through affiliation. Olwyn had only recently become an adult the same year; her opinion now weighed equally she would spend a great deal of time protesting the decision. Her voice would go unanswered for several months, fierce resistance from her parents eventually leading to conflicts between the two parties and a rebellious attitude in their young daughter. Unwilling to take no for an answer she became increasingly opinionated and eventually managed to convince her family that co-existing with such a notorious faction was not in their best interests.

Having gone back on the deal made between themselves and the Ebon Cabal things began to escalate, then spiral, and eventually plummet out of control. Shipments began to go missing along the roadside outside the scope of town, local authorities began turning a blind eye to plea's from the family to investigate, several targeted break-ins left the family feeling alienated and scared. The final escalation being that of an attack on the family on its own, the results of which involved the death of Olwyn's father and mother. That fateful day she had left the city streets and safety of the walls surrounding Sumberton to acquire foraged goods for her family; upon returning home she heard the toll of the city bells, found the scent of charcoal where bread and mirth were once found, and behind the veil of the destruction the loss of her parents, buried deep beneath the rubble of her life-long home.

Despite all of the destruction caused by these targeted attacks the local authorities refused to assist her. Without shelter or protection from what threatened her family she wandered the streets for some time, the coming winter months a harsh environment for one so young. Succumbing to bitterness in her dire time of need she began to lash out at the better part of society; angry that when she needed it most no one was willing to offer aid. When spring had finally come and the frost coated streets of Sumberton were once again traversable the raw emotion that had consumed her had reawakened her defiant nature. She set forth to mete out her own sense of justice heading straight for the Black Tower the home of whomever was responsible for the depraved actions against her family.

Armed only with her quick wits and determination to uphold the true justice in her heart she traversed the trails of her homeland until her boots wore out. Eventually she would find her way to her destination but would lose sight of her objective out of fear of her own safety; her motivations shifting ever so slightly upon arrival. Rather than make obtuse demands with no true knowledge as to who was responsible she instead made every effort to join the Cabal, intent on destroying it within. Moons pass, her decision to join the faction responsible for her parents death looming over her daily, she eventually succeeds in her efforts and finds her skills improved in the process. Now a capable spell caster she has been sent out on her first proposed mission; intent on earning favour she cannot fail.

Oh okay. Well I don't mind waiting, I work from home so its easy for me to check.

Alright. I will have to take another look at this build then. I am trying to build a Beguiler without using the Beguiler class. lol

Just a quick rules question; If I take levels in Rogue and Sorcerer as Gestalt up to level 3 and then stop taking levels in Sorcerer at level 4 to take Rogue/Arcane Trickster will I progress Sneak Attack damage at a faster pace?

Because technically from then on I would gain sneak attack damage bonus twice from Rogue and Arcane Trickster at 5th level and every odd level.

Please note that the Arcane Trickster states;

Sneak Attack

This is exactly like the rogue ability of the same name. The extra damage dealt increases by +1d6 every other level (2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, and 10th). If an arcane trickster gets a sneak attack bonus from another source the bonuses on damage stack.

A Great Upheaval

Morning breaks and the sun's rays pour down upon you.

You camp for the night

After speaking to Kella the rest of the party takes the time to search what remains of the tavern; you find little else on the second floor due to damage caused by the boulder. Once initial discussions on how to ensure your safety had been concluded you barred both doors with what you had available and hoped for the best.

If undisturbed Kella remains upstairs in her room where she silently waits out the night. Without more than a dagger to defend herself she makes no attempt to strike out during your rest. After spending most of the late evening travelling in the rain it is a welcomed change to have four walls to protect you from the weather; unfortunately without a fire you are unable to dry yourselves appropriately making for an uncomfortable time. Once the sun begins to light the sky you are awakened by your elvish companion who has been awake four hours prior to the sun's arrival.

OOC: Deduct one ration and a serving of water from your inventories. If you are injured you may heal as per RAW or via magic from an ally. We will assume this occurred prior to your rest.

A Great Upheaval

Rain continues to pelt the outer surface of the inn.

You stand in the hall

"Unless you lowered the bridge on your way into the city I don't expect that they will arrive anytime soon, if its down they may already be inside or be waiting for the storm to pass but I have no more knowledge other than they said they would come." Kella answers Gelfin first and then turns to the remainder of the party. "The bell at the temple did not start ringing until sometime yesterday, maybe it was someone else that survived..I can't say for sure but you would have passed the building before arriving here so I assume you already know the answer to that"

"If you are all quite done with your questions I would appreciate it if you left me in peace or found a place to rest elsewhere, I have nothing else to say"

OOC: Those of you who have rolled sense motive do not find that Kella is lying.

Rain continues to pelt the outer surface of the inn.

Kella appears speechless as she turns to face Gelfin. It's clear she is attempting to maintain her composure after the invasion of her thoughts. Though it is unclear if she is aware of what just transpired or if she believes that you cast some form of spell on her without her knowing. Without hesitation but with great nervousness in her voice she replies to Gelfin quite earnestly.

"I.. did not have anything to do with the attack on this town, my allies see it as an asset that would be better served under our discrete eyes"

Upset by the current circumstances and feeling more than overwhelmed by Gelfin's sudden gain in knowledge; kella sighs to vent her feelings. In this instant she seems to regain some semblance of her composure.

"At this point I just want to get out of here alive, everything has gone sideways"

You can catalogue this one, I wont be finishing it.
