Do we actually intend to storm it (I doubt that but maybe I'm wrong)? Or maybe we're only there to scout it or infiltrate it before we proceed with an actual plan of retaking it? <br/><br/>I also have some mechanical questions for you, guys, so we know what kind of skills each of us is good at or envisions their character at being :-) Not sure if everyone's character sheets are up-to-date (I know mine is not yet 100% done) so I thought it'd be worth checking. The one nagging question is: do we have anyone with Knowledge (Tactics)? :-) I will be the buff bot anyway so I'm willing to take it with a trait and invest in it if needed, as it does fit my character's background, but I will not be able to max it in any capacity as clerics only have 2 skill points per level and my character concept needs way more  ??? So I can get it to about +7 if no one else wants to focus on it. <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>My idea was that the group would have met up in the old world at some port somewhere. They would have been guided there by visions and whispers bestowed by Zhar. There they would have purchased passage to this new continent, once again guided by Zhar. On the trip over the group would have shared with each other what wisdom He had bestowed them and collectively they would have come to the conclusion that they were on the hunt for one of Zhar's old lost artefacts.<br/><br/>From there I guess they ventured through the wilderness all the way up to this fortress. I suppose it would be best to approach cautiously and there's no shame in retreating to better prepare if that's needed. But they've come all this way, may as well see what's ahead. Whatever their decision, our actions are guided by Him, even when we're unaware of such!<br/><br/><hr/><br/>As for the mechanical side of things, I'm going to finish Gwendolyn's sheet up soon. It's mostly done already. In the first post of this thread, the character's names are also links to their sheets.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, the paladin and summoner also have only 2 skill ranks per level so we're a little short there. Also, we all only have 12 Int, so not many ranks to go around with us. I'm definitely putting my favored class bonus into skill ranks at every level, but I don't really have space for Knowledge (Tactics). But I don't think we really need to worry about it that much. Also, MingMing's bard will have plenty of ranks to go around.<br/><br/>I was going to put Gwendolyn's ranks into sense motive and intimidate for sure and then spread the others around to whatever we need.
