So... Who wants to game with a Herald
That's right, boys and girls. I just ground my way through the RPGA Herald-Level Game Master test. This means that I can run sanctioned events for Wizards.
This also means that I might be 'volunteering' to run games for Wizards at Gencon.
W00TAH!
Cazmonster does a little D&D3E dance and is thoroughly pleased with himself.
Yay!

Depends, how much Constitution does he have? Does that even matter anymore?

Flame - Clerics who take the War Domain gain their Diety's weapon as a free Martial Weapon proficiency.FlameBlade wrote:Cazmonster, here's a difficult question.
Under what conditions do cleric get a martial weapon proficiency for free?

So...that means...
Goodwin here...
Has shield proficiency for free. But needs to take martial weapon proficiency to take Greatsword...his domain isn't war. His domain is Good, and Strength.
Hmmm...*ponders taking monkey grip proficiency next level, which will be fighter.*

The spontaneous casting of a cure spell is still a spellcasting and would still draw attacks of opportunity. The benefit of combat casting is that even while in medius combat, you can Cast on the Defensive, a DC 15 concentration check and be at +4 on the roll, taking you to even odds with only 1 rank of concentration. If you spent your skills in blocks, you've got 4 points of concentration, and probably a point or two of Constitution Bonus (I know you've got two - 10hp). So, you could cast spells while being threatened three times out of four.FlameBlade wrote:and I just realized that combat casting is fucking useless because clerics spontaneously cast spells.
Monkey Grip - has more prerequisites than I had at first thought - you'll have to take Weapon Focus (Greatsword) and wait until at least 4th level. You have to have a +3 attack bonus.

Caz said what I wanted to say about spontaneous casting.
Question: Do you need to be a fighter to use Monkey Grip? Flame, in purely metagame terms, I can see a cleric doing very well if you're patient. Keep in mind you have two fairly competent fighters already. What with Allnines there dropping foes like a demon. Your strength will come However, it is not ultimately my decision to make, and I'm not suggesting this as DM, because I can't 'see' all the places you guys are going beyond the next hill, it's entirely up to you

I'm just looking at all different possiblities.
I'm trying to break a cleric
Actually, I'm trying to understand all naunces of rules here, because there are freaking so many conditionals in those rules. If A happens, then B can happen...If C happens then D won't happen.
It's enough to drive me crazy.
I'm just asking those stuff...so I can make rational decision making.
I want my cleric to wield greatsword...yet at the same time...I want higher AC...
In other words...I guess I'll just stand behind Lia and hope no arrows hit my tuckus again

Flame, your best bet is armor. You've got to get into something decent as I think your Dex is under 10. Protection from Evil and Shield of Faith are going to be two of your very best magic friends for a while. They both crank your AC by +2 right now and you'll have 10 rounds of protection. Entropic Shield and Obscuring Mist will protect you from ranged attacks.FlameBlade wrote:I'm just looking at all different possiblities.

But when it comes down to it, get armored.
Also, Monkey grip is only so good. You'll not get the 1.5x bonus strength when attacking with the Greatsword. (Which will really be something once you get Bull's Strength.)

That's awesome Caz, WTG. And I thought I was the only person without a life lol. Now I know someone with less lol.
Anyways, still that's really awesome.

Cazmonster flexes, and wishes he already had his neafty Herald Badge.
Well, the good thing about no life is that it is cheap. I may be doing Gencon on Wizard's tab, which always roxxors the boxxors.
Also, at Oddcon, D&D 3e is the most anticipated game. Kick ass and take names.

Bad in what way? And does this mean you have to sacrifice browsing/hang time in return for the cash?Cazmonster wrote:Lek - with any luck, they'll give me something to run. Me writing up a game for Gencon is a bad thing.

Flak - mostly because I'd get all freaky and spend a month writing up a campaign length adventure with 60 detailed NPC's for a four hour game.FlakJacket wrote:Bad in what way?

And yeah, I will be out a little hang time, but I'm going to try to fix it so that I've got one whole day free.

wow for only four hours? Well I guess you couldn't get a whole group of people together to spend the whole GenCon only playing D&D, of course I'm not sure what else I'd want to do instead.
