Arcane Duelist
Aug. 6th, 2007 04:51 pmWe have had more sessions of the Emirikol game - in which much swashbuckling occurred - and I apologize for not getting around to the write ups. Summer, don'tchaknow.
In any event, I am now doubling back on my previous plans for the game - while the PCs will hit 6th or 7th level by the end of the year (averaging a level up every other session) - I do intend to continue the game past that point. There might be some juggling of the rules to include something like a dodge-based AC bonus equal to one half your Base Attack Bonus to explain away the lack of everyone wearing +5 studded leather, but everyone is having too much fun with the characters and the setting to stop now.
The other backtrack is that prestige classes are coming in to play. Tom's PCs is already heading for the Paladin prestige class, but I've modified the Arcane Archer class from the DMG into an Arcane Duelist to give Bec's sorcerer somewhere to go. Having Cybele settle there after 6th level is a big help: too ,much higher magic and the game would lose it's swashbuckling, three musketeers feel.
For anyone who'se interested, the Arcane Duelist stats are
