DM Entry: Exotic Weapons, Associated Feats, and Virtual Feats.

Exotic Weapons and Associated Feats

This is being posted here so it doesn't get lost.

From Complete Adventurer page 116.

The following weapons are treated as other weapons for the sake of benefiting from feats, like Greater Weapon Focus, Greater Weapon Specialization, Improved Critical, Weapon Focus, and Weapon Specialization.

Greater blowgun is treated as a blowgun

Barbed bolas are treated as bolas

Greatbow is treated as a longbow

Greatspear is treated as a longspear

Dire pick is treated as a heavy pick

Heavy poleaxe is treated as a halberd

Warmace is treated as a heavy mace

So if you have Weapon Focus (longbow) you can use the benefit of the feat with longbows, composite longbows, and greatbows.

Virtual Feats

While we are on the subject, don't forget this little gem from Sword and Fist, page 5:

"If you effectively have a feat as a class feature or special ability, then you can use that virtual feat as a prerequisite for other feats. What does this mean? If you have, for example, some class feature or ability that says, 'This is the same as Mobility,' then you are considered to have the Mobility feat for purposes of acquiring the Spring Attack feat. If you ever lose the virtual prerequisite, you also lose access to any feats you acquired through its existence."

Savage Tide : ECL 4 Cayo Topa necromancer 4 : journal entry 1

     Today we sighted two ships heading towards our camp. I was excited to see a ship that wasn't trying to raid our camp for a change. I have asked chief Ixawhani if I could leave the tribe to explore the seas with the great boat. He seemed shocked that I even asked. "The seas are a very dangerous place to be, great squids that eat boat like the one you want to join and huge man eating fish among other things. Did you know that? Also, there are other ships out there that will try to take the great boat that you want to get on. They will kill you if they do not like how you use spells, even though it's not evil" He said with worry and fear in his mouth, but he soon signed and agreed to let me go. He gave me a potion of swimming along with a bow and a quiver of arrows. "A hunters tools and just in case you fall over board you have this potion." He said handing me these tools of a "hunter". I said my farewells and joined the sea wyvern.

Savage Tide : ECL 4 Cayo Topa olman human necromancer 4: bio

     Born olman raised olman. Cayo Topa was a skinny child and never spoke much unless there was a interesting conversation happening. He soon grew out of that and spoke as if he was imitating the chief. He was caught doing that and punished by having to hunt down a kill a wild boar. He could not return until he has done this. He went out into the jungle with nothing but a small skinning knife. Eating nothing but berries and small game he soon got hungry. Two days later he found a wild boar eating on a small bush, he started to sneak up on it, with his knife in hand. It turned around and whined loudly. The scream of the mighty boar echoed through the trees. He quickly trusted the knife toward the boar's temple. The boar bull rushed him with the knife hanging out of its head. The boar got one good bite off before falling over on top of him. He could feel his cheek bleeding. But he didn't care, he just killed the boar. He pushed the heavy pig off of him. He draged the boar back to camp quickly before anything could take it from him. The bite still marks his face today.
     He travel to Greyhawk when he was 19, the age of which every olman funds out what type of warrior he wants to be. The elders preformed a ritual that sent us to this big city, no walking to the city was needed. He found a wizards tower, he was very intrigued with this wizards tower. He became a necromancer. A type of specialized wizard. He asked the elder Igafa how to get back. "Magic!" he said laughing. He studied for years in Greyhawk.
     He eventually went back to the tribe. He soon became bored with tribal life. Thirsting for adventure,  exploration, and a life outside of the tribe. He hoped to leave one day, but until then he studied the magical way of the necromancer.
   

Savage Tide: ECL 4 Babafemi human spellthief 1, wizard 3: Journal 1

سجل لليسافر ولي العهد الأمير بابافيمي من زئيفي

Wond'rous!  Tho I must now away my pretenses, I am blessed not to be in the company of base assassins.  Perhaps I was foolish to hide at the outset - Ah, but no, my foes are many and their arms long indeed.  My present foothold is precarious, and owed to fortune alone.

Our party, numbering five now, returns to the Olman ruins where my immediate predecessors met their fates.  Foolhardy, perhaps, but I say nothing, and I say nothing again when we reembark numbering four.  In my heart, I am not sad to see the dwarf go.  His brashness unnerved me.  But his cursed, agonized corpus shall haunt my dreams for a time.

And now!  The stumbling, suffering priest.  In my heart, I know: that poisonous egg was meant for me.  It emerged from Bassam's foul gizzard, and the hapless fellow ate that vomitous meal in my stead.  The debt he owes me, he can never know, and never will.

But let it not be said that we set out a macabre voyage of envenomed knives and the hideous, misdirected vengeance of long-dead kings.  We surely do, but so goest all daring ventures.   Scattered amongst that bitter gruel, though, are candied plums.  The fruits I speak of?  They are those of sweet Lavinia.

She is a capable woman, having organized this expedition almost single-handed, noble enough for a tryst not to be unseemly, and beautiful besides.  I think she is as intrigued as I am, and how could she not be?  I am all that I am.

لوالدي، ووالده، وجميع من أساتذتي، سأعمل جاهدا من.

Savage Tide: ECL 4 Babafemi human spellthief 1, wizard 3: Bio

The crown prince of Zeif is a reclusive, mysterious figure.  Typical for children of the sultan, he was born and raised in the harem at the Palace of Peh'reen in Zeir-i-Zeif, the fortunate son of one of many concubines.

He has seldom made public appearances, and then only as a small child.  More recently, his father the sultan has been afflicted with a terrible illness, and rumors circulate furiously among the populace that the unseen prince must be dying of the same disease, missing, or dead.  Some doubt he ever existed, the young boy in lavish robes remembered by older folk having been merely a slave conveniently playing a part in some greater political machination.

In the apparent absence of able royal blood, the Sultanate is governed by the Grand Vizier, Bassam ibn Bulus al-Zeif.  The Grand Vizier is a man who is loved by all without exception; a man of unwavering, unparalleled honor and morality; a man with no failings or unfortunate predilections whatsoever.

Zeif is lucky to have Bassam.

The man aboard the Sea Wyvern is not dying of a terrible disease, nor is he sequestered in the Palace of Peh'reen, obviously enough.  He seems to be nothing more than a genteel crook who isn't as good at lying as he thinks he is.

DM Entry: Favored Classes and Multiclass Penalties

Let's be honest, the 20% penalty for unevenly multiclassing is bullshit. I am (once again) bastardizing some mechanics from another game system to use in our games. This time from Pathfinder, although we will use them a little differently.

This information has been added to the Aryathan Jiil Campaign Setting.pdf and uploaded to the google drive.

Favored Class

Remove the 20% penalty for uneven multiclass levels. Replace with the following three things.

First, leveling up into your favored class takes only 15 minutes instead of 1 hour.

Secondly, Choose one of the following each time you gain a level in your favored class:

·         +0. 5% xp bonus

·         +1 hp

·         +1 skill point.

And finally, find your favored class below and gain the listed bonus each time you take a level in your favored class. Any fractional bonus is rounded down, so you may need to select an option more than once to gain a benefit.

Any

If you have a favored class listed as “any” you must choose this favored class from any base class in the game (not limited to a class you have already taken) during character creation. Once chosen, this becomes your favored class and cannot later be changed. If you choose a class that is not listed below, let the DM know so he can add that class below.

Multiple Favored Classes

If you have more than one favored class, you must select which one will be your favored class and remove the other. Once chosen, this cannot later be changed. If you later gain another favored class, you can choose the new one to replace the old one, or keep the old one and ignore the new one.

DM Entry: A Special Note about the Guidebooks

The guidebooks include the following books:

Defenders of the Faith
Masters of the Wild
Song and Silence
Sword and Fist
Tome and Blood

These are all great books. I like them. But it is important to note that these are all 3.0 books.

As with any other 3.0 books, be sure to check with the DM before using any material from them.

As for these particular 3.0 books, the first place to look is in the Guidebook Update for 3.5 (a document published online by Wizards of the Coast. If you can't find this document online somewhere, I can pass it to you at the game. This document gives the official updates to prestige classes, spells, and feats. It references the original source book and then gives you the location of the official 3.5 update of that item.

Notice that some things have not been updated officially, saying things like "not revised yet." That doesn't mean these are fair game. Instead, these are the ones you should be even more leery of. Check with the DM to see if there is an unofficial update found in the Aryathan Jiil documents. If there isn't, I can often prepare that update and add it to our documents.

The next place to look is in the following:

Goldmaul journel -1

It seams while I on guard at the ship Oaken met his fate in the maw of evil... in the light of this news lavidia has request me to join the Bazland on the other ship for the rest of the trip even though I am dragon born I am still a dwarf and she feels my presence will help to ease  bazland suffering having a kinsman to banter with. I agree and will move my stuff after the ceremony and introduce myself to bazland. I cannot help to replace a life long friend but I am sadly to familiar with the face of a dwarf in grief
I hope he will accept me as a  comrade..




with Bahamat I ride by a dragons breath I will die

Goldmaul Dragonhammer(bio) Dragonborn(dwarf) fighter1 DFadept 4 ECL5

Golmaul Dragonhammer

 

Golmaul grew up a merchant’s son learning to tend to the various needs of the business, traveling with his father to inspect supplier and resource venders, studying the various products, forecasting supply and demand.

On many trips to the high quarries in the mountains they often times came upon scenes of utter carnage where bandits had slaughtered the supplier’s workers for their bounty that was harvested. On most occasions this was in the diamond and opal mine's one of which his father owned, the sight of the carnage left behind (not by raiders but by dragons seeking to improve their hoard) was burned deep in his mind as he and his father’s mercenaries cleaned up the scorched dismembers and half eaten bodies of his kinsman hauling them back to widows and orphan to be. Bandits can be dealt with found and caught but the dragons the would swoop in and murder dozens and on a few cases hundreds of hard working joyful dwarven folk with no way to put a stop to it and the mountains to vast do discover the well hid dwelling for them to be purged.. These rare but momentous events that would later find themselves recorded and imprinted upon him.
 Golmaul spent much of his free time vandalizing the temple of bahamut and seeking to reticule and in some case harm anyone of dragon blood heritage. This lasted a few years

 One night paladins of bahamut managed to snare him away while he had wandered off by himself. They smuggled him into the belly of the temple restrained him. the priest began to question him about his hatred and his actions

After hours of stubborn reprisals on his part the priest pieced the puzzle together.

Realizing Golmaul’s angst and despise came from the action of the evil dragons of Tiamat, the paladins began to skillfully teach and explain to him the difference between the two bahamut and tiamat and how his beliefs and despise we the same as Bahamut’s and his order. Once he began to understand what the priest was saying he began to relax and they released him, they showed him texts and art and had a few older members come and testify to both bahamut and to the evils of tiamat and his ilk.

 

Weeks passed and his hatred of the dragons blood simmered now instead of boiling.... pondering what he had learned reliving the carnage he had to clean up the widows and orphans all raced through his head as he tended to the labors of his father company. Knowing soon he would be on his own and have to set his own path he began to train for combat to protect him and his father’s assets. Unknown to Goldmaul the same paladins that had snared him before were watching him. They saw the unquenchable desire to wreak vengeance on the evil dragons in him and pleasantly surprised to see his behavior change once he understood the truth. while managing his underlings as they unloaded some cargo at the docks the paladins approached him and began to regale him with tales of evil dragon slaying and of the relentless march of Tiamat and his horde to rule and destroy all of the civilized world as we know it, he listened and found himself intrigued at the thought of destroying evil dragons. these thoughts made him even smile…

 

He finished his day at his father’s warehouse then went to the temple that night. His mind was sent almost spinning with information and knowledge of the draconic. By the night’s end he had made up his mind. He would join Bahamat's legions and wage war against the dragon horde. The heads of the local temple overseeing seeing his commitment to the cause ,guided him in his training and aided him in acquiring the gift of draconic blood. Then taught him to wield the very weapon of the dragons that slew so many of his kinsmen..

Learning fast, at an almost dangerous pace the order needed to find some leads on the location of 

Evil dragon activity because they themselves were growing anxious to unleash their newest pupil into the fray of tiamats schemes. As if by some divine intervention a tale came the way of some mercenaries under the employ of lady Vanderborin had encountered an evil dragon serving under the hand of an unsavory guild of thieves. All of which seem to be tied to some uncharted place that lady Vanderborin herself is traveling to on an expedition. The order contacted her and secured passage for character aboard the ship and also approached the druid Oaken to grant Goldmaul position with his group as a man at arms. Lady Vanderborin and oaken agreed to the terms ,Goldmaul is neither under command of oaken nor under the employ of Lavinia but a weapon of bahamut, to combat evil and the dragons that wield it.
