OOC: I, Modron

Hrm, I'd like to play in this... I have some neat Rogue Modron ideas... but I could also DM. In fact, who is more qualified than the ruler of the modron race?

Alright... I have nominated myself DM of this little venture, so let's get this baby rolling.

"Planescape: Rogue Squadron"

Let's keep this to 6 or fewer players.
Do you want it to be freeform, 3e, or 3.5?
If using a rules system what levels? Low (Level 3), Mid (Level 7), High (Level 12)?

*Primus coughs...*

Sorry about letting that fall to the wayside. Got caught up in some stuff in RL...

Um... can I join? It sounds amazing, and I've been sitting on a rogue modron idea for about a year now that I never had a chance to play....

Box-in-Bloom (rogue modron druid) -- "It’s usually pretty hard to tell one quadrone from any other. Let’s face it, they all pretty much look alike. A metallic cube three feet to each side, with two mechanical arms, two mechanical legs, occasionally a pair of wings, and a face only Primus could love. But Box-in-Bloom’s pretty easy to distinguish from other quadrones on account of her verdant "toupee"; a three-by-three sod of lush green grass that flourishes on her head. Not just grass either, but herbs and flowers and occasionally even a patch of blueberries. The sod isn't just sitting there, it's well-rooted, and shoots and vines can be seen protruding from various openings in her body and limbs. Box-in-Bloom's mental capacity is mostly unimpaired... mostly... by the overgrowth, and she does make good use of the herbs and flowers for potions and poultices."

Let me know if I'm in. Thanks,

This is so freaking cool

Rinse and repeat.

Alright then:

Rules: 3.5
Stats: 4d6 drop 1 six times, reroll 1s
Level: 3rd

:Primus chuckles:

Alright then, 32 point buy.

I rolled on the PW forums dice roller and got:

14, 12, 17, 16, 15, 17

Best I've EVER rolled, but since I can't prove it, I'd feel funny about using 'em.

I'm cool with 32-point buy.

Box-in-Bloom: "Female" modron outcast druid 1; Medium outsider; HD 1d8; hp 9; Init +1; Spd 30 ft.; AC 17 (+1 dex, +4 natural, +2 armor), touch 11, flat-footed 10; Base Atk +0; Grp +2; Full Atk +3 melee (spear 1d8+2); SA none; SQ druid abilities, darkvision 120 ft., modron outcast traits; AL LN; SV Fort +3, Ref +1, Will +5; Str 14 (+2), Dex 12 (+1), Con 12 (+1), Int 14 (+2), Wis 16 (+3), Cha 10 (+0).

Spire Butterflies (30): Tiny magical beast (lesser swarm); HD 1d10; hp 8 (pooled); Init +2; Spd fly 30 ft. (good); AC 14 (+2 size, +2 Dex); Base Atk/Grp -/-; Atk/Full Atk Swarm (1d4); SA Swarm attack, SQ Drain magic, Lesser swarm traits, SR 15; AL N; SV Fort +2, Ref +2, Will +2; Str 1, Dex 15, Con 10, Int 2, Wis 14, Cha 12.

Swarm Attack: Creatures with the swarm subtype don't make standard melee attacks. Instead, they deal automatic damage to any creature whose space they occupy at the end of their move, with no attack roll needed. Swarm attacks are not subject to a miss chance for concealment or cover.
Drain Magic (Su): Spire butterflies feed on magic; drawing sustenance from magic items and spell effects. Small swarms of 50 or fewer butterflies consume magic at a rate of up to one spell level per hour, though much less than this is actually required for survival. Excess magic is burned off as butterfly wings crackle, glow, screech, and shine with the sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and sensations of various spells. Full swarms, numbering in the hundreds or thousands, drain magic much more quickly and have been known to discharge stored magical energy in self-defence.
Lesser Swarm Traits: As swarm, excluding Distraction.

Primus? Which one should we use?

Indeed, RHys, the Planewalker Modron has a Natural Armor Bonus of +4. If you're seeing something we're not, please explain.

Sheets recieved:
Enzo Sarlas - Box-in-Bloom - Druid
Rhys - Kilojoule - Sorcerer
Username - Ki - Monk

Druid's animal companion - opinions wanted.

Choice #1 - wolf (perfectly acceptable animal companion, but maybe not in Sigil?)

Choice #2 - Aoskian Hound (not technically an animal companion, but an affordable, trainable beast with a definite Planescape flavour)

Choice #3 - any ideas? any planar animals that'd be weird enough to be a modron's animal companion?

thanx

A Monodrone? Just kidding. It could be a formian worker, maybe. Strictly speaking it's not an animal, but we're talking about Modrons here. And I don't think a rogue unit would hold against the formians the same amount of animosity that the heirarchy units do.

Well, Kilojoule has a gear spirit familiar, though I really just took lizard stats and modified it, so no normal gear spirit abilities.

He also has a little instrument on his left side that has a needle that shows how many spells he has left per day. Just because it'd be hilarious. Maybe he'll have another instrument that just shows his spell power, so when he casts a spell it'll jump up, and then go back down. Y'know, since he's crazy like that.

I've got it! Spire Butterflies! And thanks to the San Diego Zoo's website, I now know that a group of butterflies is called a "flutter".

So I propose that Box-in-Bloom's grassy toupee is home to a flutter of Spire Butterflies. Imagine a modron overgrown with grass, moss and vines, enveloped in a cloud of colorful butterflies!

"She" can feed them spells when they can't get their fill elsewhere.

So, Primus, can I, can I?

:Primus coughs:

I'll allow it... but no magic missile shooting. In fact, no SPire Butterfly magical powers at all. They can eat magic in a flavor way, but can't actually be used as any kind of magical defense.

Alright, those of you who haven't gotten there sheets in yet should know that I won't move the plot on for several days. Once teleported into the room (don't post that part yourselves as I have some plans) you may interact and roleplay to your heart's content. After I get all of the sheets, or I become tired of waiting the plot will be advanced.

BTW - Primus if you prefer I can have the Modron stat posts shifted tot he Modron thread for easy reference.

3e DMG says 3rd level characters start with 2700 gp. (pg. 43)
