"The Awakening" OCC

That would be sweet!

Alrighty. Hopefully some of the old guard will drift in to swell the ranks again. But I'm definitely invested in seeing where this Harmonium serial bomber strikes next!

Would Argint have any info on the exact relationship his Guild has with the Harmonium? Would it be Economical as well as Ideological??

Ah, the wiles of the shapeshifter...it sure makes cityscape games all the more interesting!

I'd personally enjoy sliding through crowds, turning into different people...it'd open plenty of opportunities to learn cultures and personalities.

Aye, and it fits right in to the personality.

Still need the Bluff checks, right?

Alrighty.

Oh yeah! I'm trying to work out the angles of approach so that I can maximize on the talent.

Would a Wis/Int check be necessary to memorize a person's features/gear to add a circumstance bonus to Disguising as them?

The irony is that Cha and Int are equally +4, as he is a man of wit and persona. lol.

To make things interesting, let's say that we use the first set for someone he is intimately familiar with (say party members for future reference)...someone he's been around enough that he could give a semi-good impression off hand, like any berk does on occasion to poke fun at a friend.

Use the save for someone he's met infrequently, just seen, or studied only for a few moments.

It allows you to have a reasonable scale to work with that is balanced.

Cool!

What is Aras up to while I'm off running around? Or the other party members for that matter?? I don't expect ya to NPC them all (that would be like running a puppet show by yourself!), but I was curious as to how you've decided to deal with them.

Definitely understandable.

Hm, alrighty, though I'm wondering when, cause Argint has a good bit of ground to cover here unless he's otherwise derailed.

How is the Seer's Guild reacting to the explosion?

No worries. Alrighty. If he leaves a note at the front desk, Argint will definitely make a point to meet him.

Alrighty. Just figured some more would've ran out to join the Harmonium around the outpost's fringe.

Haha! Ironic that his murderer slipped into the sewers of Undersigil.

LOL! It keeps the plot flowing smoothly, suren!

It's alright. I had to leave for a time as well. I'm Central (US), so we should be an hour apart (unless I'm mistaking EST to stand for Eastern Standard Time).

Yes, I think it'd be hillarious to find ourselves running two entire threads through the works of "Most Posts within an Hour"

I wonder if Clueless gives awards for such things...I could go for a copy of Planescape CS. lol.

I forgot to say that Argint's father worked for Sigil Yard back in the day..

This is getting to be quite interesting! I love the twists and turns this is headed..

Thanks! Yes, they give you plenty of roleplay options if you are in a city campaign. And in planescape, Sigil offers a beautiful opportunity to do so...if I had thought of it, I might've tried a doppleganger mage inside the Git'Riban game.

Yes! I've been surprised with how smoothly it runs and keeps the plots from muddying up. I'll be sure to do something interesting things with Argint...probably soon, too.

Alrighty! I need to look at this build, since the Spell Thief needs to be more careful in a smaller party. He can get himself killed quick in a solo battle, but is very useful with a cohort. However, I'm sure I can wiggle the stats around to make him more free standing, such as a level in fighter to gain another feat and some better hp. Still...I love the skills and versatility of the class too much to stip it completely.

Gotcha. Thanks!

I've been giving each persona a name, cause I think Argint will have a repetoire of backgrounds to use when he does his rounds. I wouldn't be surprised if the Guild had several flats rented out in different areas for him to use, the neighbors unsuspecting of the old granny next door who rarely comes out due to her frailty. Or the imp prestidigitator who toys with the arcanists of the Market Ward. Or the baker...ah, I have a thousand characters in one. How lovely.

Oh, I'm thinking about a feat tree that would work great with this ability. Assume Supernatural Ability and the Improved ASA. The only jimmy is the Wis req. of 13 for the first and 17 for the latter (though I find it odd, since most shifters are arcane wielders). I'll post 'em later, if you need me to. They're in Savage Species.

Or maybe we can come up with our own feats that allow for similar enhancements to the doppleganger's transcient nature.

Just some ideas before I head for bed. lol.

Thanks! Alrighty, I'll think of some possible feats and post em up for you to critique.

Alrighty! Rest well. I need to get some rest, too.

Thanks for the added fun of this gang-bust run!! It's been an exercise in exploring the race...and gathering new gear.

I'll be sure to continue the main plot as well, but I've enjoyed this alternative way to prep...fleshing the land of Sigil out in true, vibrant storytelling!

Okay, read up a bit. Now, where is Aras, and what is happening to him? Once I know that, I can get stuck back in.

Hey, Cernunnos! Hope we can work things out as a crew, though I'll think you will find Argint an interesting comrade.

Hopefully, we'll have plenty of insight to share once three days have passed. I know we'll have plenty of tales!

Cern, what class is your Hobgoblin? Just curious for party balance.

Woot! I've been wanting to play in a stealthy party; this might be a chance to run those ghost tactics.

I'm not laughing- leave my NPCs alone! Especially someone helpless like S..Selp Leh

Oh, I'll leave him alone. For now. Eldreesh will just remember where he might find a kip to stay at when the heat is on.
