Again just waiting to see what Lazlo says about being bard.

i will play whatever
bring hawk on if bard is his thing

I can just max out damage and swing away with Barbarian etc

It would appear that, since he asked first, Hawk would be our 10th then?

I don't mind either way just need a confirmation one way or another.

Guard and Taunt were both not used, I agree.

I did mention my personal bis in recommending Paladin.

Regardless, I'm not playing it, so I dont feel strongly.

I'm in!

Let me know how to get the money to ya! Thanks for letting me be a part of this.

Alright party is set as

1 Fiddy -paid Cleric
2 jedibcg (I owe Ed) E Wizard
3 Wade -paid Druid
4 lazlo -paying Ed direct
5 Jeff321 -paid
6 Adam Guay -paid Human Wizard
7 William krenson -paid
8 MasterEd -paid Monk
9 Eldar
10 Hawk Fingle -Bard

The other classes shouldn't matter much if the lockdown works. I would recommend ranger and barbarian.

Everyone should dig through their collections to see if they have any Fey Wands (though we only need 1), Wands of Tentacles/Wands of Slow, Scrolls of Growth Spike, Scrolls of Color Spray (only need one and might not be needed), Slings/Sling Bullet of Stunning.

We probably won't need much behind the Tentacle wands and Growth Spike scrolls and 1 Fey Wand. But better to have them and not need them than to run out.

I do have 3 Mystic Mouths for the wizards and the Druid so they can use 2 wands per round if needed (hopefully won't be).

Thanks Jedi!

If we do have RoSP voucher available why not go with the auto lock?

Ed

I don't have my rod voucher available.

If someone has one available and wants to let me use, I would happily do so.

If they would prefer to play Druid Summoner, I am happy to give that up as well to allow for it to happen.

If the 2018 vouchers will be available at Origins, I would defer to someone else to play it if they would like.

If we did have vouchers then that would work....and Crowns of Expertise and Rings of Spell Storing.

I don't know if we have the vouchers though. I know I don't have any CoE's or RoSS.

I have the crown and ring of spell storing....not sure if the rid I just purchased still has voucher or not. Will need to borrow the mystic mouth and I can help pick up some wants if someo e can help locate what we need.

CoE's or RoSS are only needed if we get a voucher for a Druid Summoner or Elf Wizard Illuisionist. MasterEd is correct that would work better for lock down as there are no saves required.

I know I have a RoSP voucher available, because I never used it at Gen Con last year and didn't go to GHC or PAX. If we have another one, we can get the auto lock and +6 damage to all attacks. If not, I offer it for whatever the group thinks is best.

If you are not going to use it before Gen Con we could do an E Wiz or Druid it would make locking him down easier and we could do more DPS characters.

R1 Lockdown with spell.
R2 RoSS lockdown with spell.
R3 CoE lockdown with spell.
R4 Cleric restores spell lockdown
R5 Cleric uses CoE restores Power to restore spell lockdown


It would get us 5 guaranteed rounds unless I am missing something? You would hope that would be enough, but uncertain how much HP Draccus will have. He had 1k at Gen Con on Nightmare. 200 per round seems doable with this group to me. However if he is 2k I don't know if 400 per round is doable.


Other option would be to use it only if all other lockdowns failed. So use wands/scrolls as planned but if they all fail fall back guarantee lock 5 times.

Thoughts? If it takes more than 5 rounds time is going to start to be a issue.

My $0.02: we should take the guaranteed lockdown if we can.

I don't know that it really changes what classes we'd use, as the spellcasters can contribute their heavy spells instead of using actions to lock down the draccus
