He is just "one of those elves." He carries a finely made falchion slung on his back; with tassels on the hilt made of intricate knots in red ribbon. A fine chain shirt sits under a plain cloak, and a simple areana-style short sword hands from his wide belt. When Ion is fighting, he wears a distinctive helmet. The helm is faced with a white mask, and decorated with delicate red swirls. Background: An'Ion Valence was enjoying his time in Sasserine immensely. He had adapted well to the rigorous training sessions of the Horns, and was reveling in the studies with the Witchwardens. The Sensei at the temple of Kelanen was teaching him so many new maneuvers, and so different in style than the ancient longsword forms he had learned as a boy. Ion was improving quickly. He felt at home here - the opposite of the strange uncertainty he remembered from his deep woods childhood days in the Amedio jungle. Then a girl caught his fancy, but he didn't stir her heart. Then the girl became a damsel in distress. Some minor underworld figure had kidnapped her. Ion lost his focus, and he was unable to continue his studies. He wandered the streets; long days and nights searching the City turned up no trace of the girl, but he would not relent. His life had not prepared him for searching the streets, or gathering clues, or even for the general conversation skills that were needed to make his way in the city. He was growing more frustrated each day, and his easy smile was often replaced by a scowl. He sometime found himself pushing his way through the crowds, using his strength to plow through. The thought that the search was changing him occurred frequently, but he always pushed it away, telling himself that he would be fine once Lily was safe. He was wrong. He and some other adventurers rescued Lily, but they were both different now. They had grown apart in the short time, and Ion took a job as a guard on one of the many local ships. He was seeking an escape, but he found destruction as the ship was burned in Kaken Cove. Personality: Once Ion was a rising star of the arena and with potential in both Zelkarune's Horns and the Witchwardens. The mis-adventure of his failed love has depressed him, and he hopes some freah sea air will snap him out of the sadness. Last Edited By: Ilsasorne Oct 17 11 9:01 PM. Edited 81 times.

Posts: 316 Apr 7 09 5:15 AM Ghast Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Ion would make a good ship-based guard or soldier. Light armor, good bow skills for firing as the other ship approaches, then when the bad guys try to board his ship... ZAP then with a spell. So sure, Ion could have been on the ship as a mercenary guard, then refused to leave a prisoner to burn or drown, so somehow they both ended up alive in Kraken Cove.

Soon after, a small group of adventurers entered the cave and free Ion, along with two other seemingly unaffected prisoners. The group, now 6 hardy souls, though with less than maximum power, began to search through the caves for the fighting they could hear in the distance. They found a storage room with weapons, where Ion grabbed a glaive and a short sword. After some more explanation, they found a bedroom with four more of the hideosly deformed pirates, and the fight was on!!! fighting in the pirate caves, Game Night 2: April 15th, Ion the duskblade continues play at 3rd level This cavern has been outfitted with the finest in stolen furniture. Thick rugs cover the floor, and fine silk tapestries and masterful seascape paintings hang from the walls, giving the place an almost regal feel. A four poster bed takes up most of a large nook to the south, and nearby stands an oak desk with a matching armoire. Alas, most of this furniture is ruined, spattered and stained with gore and deeply scarred by swordplay. A skeletal body dressed in the ruins of a once fine suit of studded leather lies in a red heap at the foot of the bed. Five more bodies lie about the room, horribly deformed men and women who seem to have perished on a rapier's point. And there we begin against the 4 weird pirate creatures… From there Jenkin used a web… And I missed with a glaive + chill touch Ion: Ion takes another swing with his new-found glaive, hitting AC 23 for 11 damage and an additional 5 negative energy damage. The creature must make a fortitude save DC13 or lose 1 point of strength. Ken: whack! ***** Ion: round 2 of chill touch Ken: your magical glaive goes snicker-snack! *** Ion: out of 3 rounds possible Ken: it's head lops off! Followed by a miss, then a good hit with a readied action… Then one bites him for 4 damage and infects him with this strange disease… Ion's bite is inflaming oddly....blackening with disturbing little spiky protrusions Then we found our gear!!!!

She is Harliss Javell, the Captain of the Crimson Fleet vessel that boarded and captured the ship you were on After helping her dispatch the creatures, she orates… then we attack!!! She almost drops Roong, the Ion darts to the side, slashing at the pirate queen with his glaive. As he swings, he channels the last of his powerful arcane magic into the blade, which sparkles with electricity. His attack, guided by the True Strike magic, hits AC [1d20+26] for [1d10+4] damage and an additional [3d6] electrical damage. 23 damage She lived, but then Blodwyn got her. Hooray! So we end on the beach, with her gear, and with Ion down 2hp and 2 int. He has no remaining 1st level spell, and he used his shield potion. He gave the other one to Ossic. fighting in the pirate caves, Game Night 3:** April 22nd Ion the duskblade continues play at 3rd level So we begin on the beach, with her gear, and with Ion down 2hp and 2 int.

Viiko the Magnificent and his eldritch blade crabcleaver finished her. Then we dispatched the dogs and loaded up all of the loot for transport. Judan's carcass was lifted to carry back, but he was actually alive!! Judan searched the caves and found the keys to the treasure chests. We went to the last room, past the barricade, and found… A fairly even layer of sand covers the floor of this musty smelling cavern. Large pottery urns line the walls of the cave, and within each grows a riot of strange mushrooms, fluted toadstools, phosphorescent molds, greasy-looking fronds of pale lichens, and all manner of strange fungi. Several large glass terrariums, their walls beaded with condensation, stand along the west wall. One of these is shattered, the loamy soil within spilling out onto the sandy floor near a long but low table heaped with flasks, jars, bottles, and tools. Protruding from under the table are a pair of small boots, perhaps those of a gnome Ion runs forward and sees the purple mushroom thing. He takes a hard swing with his new-found glaive, hitting AC25 for 8 damage We sail back, Ion gets healed and makes level 4!!! +4250xp we try to save Lavinia, Game Night 4: Tune in next week!

Posts: 12033 Apr 24 09 8:35 AM Vampire Scion Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Have you considered taking Improved Weapon Familiarity (a feat in Races of Stone that allows a race to treat racial weapons as martial instead of exotic) and using an Elven Courtblade (from Races of the Wild)? The elven courtblade is a 2-handed melee weapon that does a base 1d10 and has an 18-20 threat range, and is piercing or slashing. The nice thing about it is that you can use it with Weapon Finesse, so if you take that feat as well, you can apply your full Dexterity bonus to your attacks with it. (You'd also become proficient in the elven lightblade and thinblade, which is why this feat is marginally better for you than Exotic Weapon Proficiency). It may not be worth it if you plan on staying a duskblade throughout your career, but if you plan on multiclassing or prestige classing, a level or two of fighter would help you pick up these feats. I was strongly considering something like this when toying with an elven dervish build.

Posts: 316 May 6 09 9:07 PM Ghast Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Game night 4: 4-29-09 while working… as much as that is possible We sneak into the Vanderboren Manor, entering through the dog kennels. Four cage-stalls fill the northern portion of this room. The air reeks of unkempt dogs. Three of the cages are occupied by growling mastiffs. The last cage, once occupied by Gut Tugger, is now open and empty. We set the dogs loose, led by Blodwyn, and move on. An impressive darkwood desk with a high backed chair behind it sits in this study. New furnishings have been brought in to make this room a suitable barracks for the PCs. Then we let the dogs out into the main hall… 6 FROGMEN!! 1 Atrium This enormous great hall's marble stonework is smooth and white. Two oak stairwells with burnished brass railings ascend to an open first floor landing. Tapestries depicting a beautiful and savage frontier of sprawling jungle landscapes and an eerie shoreline hang from the upper landing. A glass chandelier hangs from the atrium's ceiling. Ion races to the north to face another 5 frogmen, gets hit, but is then healed by Roongshri. The others had defeated the original 6 frogmen and moved to backup Ion. Ion swings at the frogman in the doorway with his masterwork falchion and hits AC 19 for 8 damage and channels the magical power of a chill touch spell for an additional 2 magical damage. The frogman must make a fort save DC13 or lose 1 point of strength. Not quite dead yet… grin the double doors to the SE of blodwyn open and frogmen pour forth! 6 more, and Leader! Lorb-Lorb Tub!!! The barbarian!! But to the north, Ion holds the doorway, backed by Roongshri. Ion swings at the new frogman in the doorway with his masterwork falchion and hits AC 22 for 11 damage and channels the magical power of a chill touch spell for an additional 5 magical damage (round 2 of 4 for spell). The frogman must make a fort save DC13 or lose 1 point of strength. And he drops!!! And Ion moves 5 feet into the room, pressing the advantage. Though more frogmen enter the room, Ion keeps working to the north. His foe misses… and so does he. frown And then Ion misses again. MORE frown Ion is upset. He chases after frogman 14! Ion steps forward and swings at frogman 14 with his masterwork falchion. The heavy blade hits AC 22 including bless for 7 damage. Whack! He hits it but it doesn't drop! Then the 3 frogmen withdraw downstairs, where Viiko hears a scream! A woman's scream. What should we do? Game Night 5: 5-6-09 while working (again)… as much as that is possible Last week we ended as... Roongshri faces 2 frogmen in the room to the west, while Judan, Ossic, and Blodwyn face 5 frogmen and their raging barbarian leader in the main hall. The new night begins…. Viiko and Ion and the dogs go into the basement to chase the fleeing frogmen Ion steps forward and swings at a frogman with his masterwork falchion, channeling the magical power of a chill touch through the blade. The heavy blade hits AC 22 including bless for 9 damage, and an additional 4 magical damage. The frogman must make a DC13 fort save or lose 1 point of strength. (round 1 of 4) Ion steps forward and swings at frogman 31 with his masterwork falchion, channeling the magical power of a chill touch through the blade. The heavy blade hits AC 24 including bless for 9 damage, and an additional 6 magical damage. The frogman must make a DC13 fort save or lose 1 point of strength. (round 2 of 4) Then he misses… boo-hoo! We chased the frogmen over the stream, where we saw the sorceress being hounded by a rust monster, and then she charmed the frogman leader. Knowing the spell did more harm than good, however, as Viiko and Ion stood their ground against mere minions, knowing the leader was safely magicked. However, the great frogman rushed forward, eager to impress his new "mistress." He killed Viiko in one crushing blow with his club, and then pounded Ion on the backswing. The next time he pounded Ion to earth and hit Ossic on the backswing. Ossic stepped up and healed Ion, and Blodwyn arrived to save the day!!! Ion cast his magic spell, but the great green frogman only took 4 damage. Cast defensively with a 25!! Then the frog saved. blech Finally the charm spell worked, and we faced only the froggy minions, which were no match for us. Ion poked one with his shortsword, but didn't do much damage (minimum, in fact). Just as we thought the fight was well in hand, the frog chief broke free of the charm spell once again, and moved in to face Ion. The duskblade hoped his friends could end the fight quickly, as he had only his spare shortsword in hand. The short blade began to crackle with energy as he channeled electrical magic in preparation tfor a lunge at the Chief! End of Night Last Edited By: Ilsasorne May 6 09 9:13 PM. Edited 2 times.

Posts: 12033 Jan 19 10 4:03 PM Vampire Scion Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Out of curiosity--your skills section notes a +4 feat bonus to Concentration, but I don't see any feats you have that would provide this. (Skill Focus (Concentration) would only provide +3, and Combat Casting only provides its +4 bonus when casting defensively, not for other Concentration checks; but you have neither of these feats). Am I missing something? Also, have you decided on your next spell yet? I'd recommend an offensive 2nd level spell, since your existing two are buffs. Ghoul touch is great, but you won't be able to cast it until you can get your hands on the material component (cloth from ghoul or dirt from ghoul's lair). Touch of idiocy is the only other 2nd level spell you can channel, and it's okay against casters. It's unfortunate that the single best 2nd level spell for duskblades is dimension hop (a channelable spell), which is banned from this campaign. Scorching ray might be an okay alternative, though you do already have a ranged fire spell. Swift fly can be handy too (look at how useful Judan's swift expeditious retreat has been at getting into battles in past skirmishes).

Posts: 12033 Jan 19 10 4:30 PM Vampire Scion Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Yes, both are. Scorching ray does require ranged touch attacks, and while it can do decent damage, he does already have a ranged fire spell (Kelgore's fire bolt) which is why I'm not entirely sold on it. Pick what you want for your PC, I say! Just giving a few suggestions.

Posts: 12033 May 24 10 4:58 PM Vampire Scion Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Going to 8th level? Here's what you get: 1. Your base saves should be 6/2/6, not 5/2/5. 2. BAB and hp are as you noted. 3. Base spells go from 6/6/5 to 6/7/6 castable per day (excludes bonus from Int 15, which would raise them to 6/8/7) 4. You get a new spell known of 0 to 2nd level from the spell list for duskblades (PHB2 p. 24) 5. No new special abilities; no new feats. 6. +1 to a stat! If you put it in Int you'll get an additional casting/day once you gain access to 3rd level spells next level, and your spell save DCs go up to 13 + spell level. Alternately, you could put it in a different stat, planning ahead to get a bonus on hitting 12th level. 7. +4 skill points as you noted. For a new 2nd level spell, I'd suggest ghoul touch, seeking ray, or swift fly. Probably swift fly; how often would the ability to fly as a swift action for one round have come in handy for the last few battles? Note: You can substitute spells known only on odd numbered levels, so you cannot do that now. I think that's it. Last Edited By: Damien the Bloodfeaster May 24 10 5:00 PM. Edited 1 times.

Here's what I've noted: 1. Your AC should be 26, touch 17, flat-footed 21. Here's why: 10 base +9 armor bonus (+4 mithral breastplate) +5 dexterity bonus (would be +6 with Dodge feat, but mithral breastplate has a max Dex bonus of +5) +2 deflection bonus (ring of protection) The total is 26. Without the Dex bonus, it drops to 21 (for flat-footed); without the armor, it drops to 17. Note you get deflection on all types of AC. 2. You seem to be missing a LEVEL NINE FEAT! (Unless I'm missing something?) The Iron Will thing was a special bonus option offered by the DM, and does not occupy one of your regular feat slots. 3. Skill points look good (you have +1 at level 10 noted in red, but it does add up to 55, which is how many you should have). 4. You get +1 0-level spells, which you should have had since level 1 (you start out with 2 0-level and 2 1st level, but you get an additional 0 level spell for each point of Int bonus you have, which at that time was +2, or two additional 0-level spells from the short list Duskblades can pick from). 5. Your Fort save should be +8; you probably have not added the extra +1 in from the amulet of health +2. 6. Your Armored Mage ability allows you to use heavy shields, not just light shields as noted in the description you have. 7. Now that you're 10th level, vampiric touch does 5d6 damage, not 4d6. 8. Your spells/day does not match what you currently have (6/8/7/3 as noted in your last post). Otherwise, everything looks okay. I'd definitely pick a feat before our next session though!
