Glad to know the break is helping.
The fact that we're not in school right now's helping-- instead of eagerly looking forward to Thursday as my break from the annoyances of school, I'm just kinda chillin' out doin' whatever.

You know this break means that our future sessions have to be epic.

Well I can always switch to my fire dailies as an on-the-fly decision, so tat's really not an issue.
If we are gonna become vampire hunters, I'll be preparing Freezing Cloud, Icy Grasp, and Shield. I haven't decided between Fire Shield and Wizard's Escape yet but I really don't have a lot of information either.
Vampires have pretty damn high reflex IIRC OOC, so I'm going to use dailies that target Fortitude instead.

I actually started messing with my golem character some more. I wanna play 'im so bad, but then I can't play Serin. XD
But fuh real do' Shawn-- I wouldn't mind playing this character for like a level or 2 while Serin's off doing something else. =P
I even ghetto-rigged it so that he can hurl boulders / large rocks and stuff as a ranged attack.
Technically anyone can do that, but I multiclassed as a barbarian, which opened up the Imrpovised Missile feat, which allows me to use any improvised melee weapon (which a large rock can qualify for) and use it as a heavy thrown (which used as a 2-handed throw is a 1d8 damage). Since it's a heavy throw, it uses STR instead of DEX for ATK/DMG.
So in addition to all my mighty melee glory, the golem can pick up a boulder it and hurl it with decent proficiency like every golem should be able to.
Basic Melee:
ATK: D20 + 5 STR + 3 Half Lvl + 2 Prof. + 1 Enhancement + 1 Expertise = +12
DMG: 2d6 + 5 STR + 1 Enhancement = 8-18
Basic Ranged (Heavy Thrown): 5/10 range
ATK: D20 + 5 STR + 3 Half Lvl + 2 Improvised Weapon Feat = +10
DMG: 1d8 + 5 STR + 2 Improvised Missile Feat = 8-15
So it's actually not bad when compared to my melee attack. So I could feasibly have a stone golem that hurls rocks. Awesome.
Sorry to go on about something that doesn't matter right now, but I've always loved the idea of golems for some reason.

Paladin all up in here, with the smiting and the cleaving and being a bastion of light and justice.

Probably should have mentioned that in the Dark Tower, Discord is pretty much the antithesis of everything that is good and just.

Also, this is a good campaign right? Is there a reason the group is named the Company of Discord?

Not so much anymore.
Basically at the outset, we had anywhere from 2-4 wildly varying opinions on the best course of action for every single little detail. Our group was so full of strong personalities that we began arguing in character (and out) at least once every session.
Thusly, the NPCs kinda came up with a name for us.

Oh I thought they were named such because they would cause strife and destruction and chaos everywhere they went.

As such, he'd probably plede allegiance to the group or Errik and possibly try to find the status of his last master.
After I said all that, I offered that, if I were to play this character (all it takes is for Serin to run off, get knocked unconscious, killed, frozen, whatever, for about 2 levels) that you could PM me and talk ideas or how the golem's master could potentially play into the story.
I understand that's sort of asking a lot, but I was just pointing out that I have this character that I wouldn't mind playing. =P
Also, hi Deschain.
Oh no no, I mentioned way back when I was mentioning ideas that I'd made a Warforged, and since they can be made of metal/stone/both, I decided to make a stone warforged and just mess with the appearance enough to call it a golem. If I were to get a chance to play him, I'd just make it like he was his wizard master's bodyguard, and he either lost power or got deactivated or something. When our party would stumble upon him, they'd probably be able to "wake him up" and the warforged would discover it was several years later and his master nowhere in sight.

Oh cool, a sixth member.
Will be interesting if we get a pally now that our ranger elf has been revealed as a half-vampire... on top of being evil.
(I know I'm gonna hear it if she reads that.)

Half-vampire I could probably kind of tolerate maybe not smite immediately turn a blind eye hopefully Amauntor is cool with it. Being evil though....uhhhh, there's a good reason right?

Man, you guys can never tell me these things in character. How does Kratash deal with it, with his intense hatred for evil?

But hey. Our evil half-vampire may end up proving to the party (and perhaps more importantly the Warden) that she can control that part of her.
He deals with it fine... considering his soul is imprisoned within a stone and his body reduced to ash.

Hmm was reading the character list, don't see a warden. Also SeriousJay, we need to have a brofist because Ilmater is a pretty cool guy, eh scourges himself and doesn't afraid of anything.
