My ideas ...

[The Dude]

Maybe we can track the 3.5e ranger down. It should be in the SRD. I am going to have a quick look...

...yep, it's all right here:

I found the ranger in the "Character Classes II" section. I C&P'ed the class into a Word doc and printed it out, so I'll bring it with me tonight.

I also printed out some 3.5e character sheets and I'll bring them, too.

Here's the all-in-one download (2.8MB) in case you don't feel like buying that book:

Or here's a zip of the "basic rules" at 442kb:

Duh. I should have looked at that.

If I can get the books cheap enough, I'll get em.

True. Having the actual book has some merit. But it's cool to have the files as RTFs at your disposal for handy cutting and pasting.

Do you know if the rogue is any different? I may C&P that one, too, if you think it may be worth it.

Check out this link:

theothergamecompany.com/stuff-handout.htm

It's a lot of the 3.5e stuff formatted into free PDF files. There are PDFs on all the new classes, feats, skills, races, prestige classes, spells, and combat.

The rogue now has the "trap sense" ability, which may be cause for printing it out.

1) The Foehammer bros go back to Mithral Hall.

It just occured to me that this doesn't have to be so. I'm not going to play Madryk as an NPC, but if Kev wants to keep playing Uldred, I'm sure we can come up with something.

Any ideas Kev?

I know you had that ex-Night Mask guy lined up, but I think you said you may want to use him in Waterdeep. I guess it depends on if you wanna use Aza or not with the new lycanthrope rules in 3.5.

Here's something I came up with. LMK what ya think:

After spending some time at Mithral Hall, Kuhal, Keeve, and Shundane set out for <blank> to <dunno why yet>.

In the time spent in the tunnels of the dwarven keep, Shundane's soul was further corrupted by the <insert name of Nez's corrupting item> and her alignment had shifted to Lawful Neutral.

On the road to <blank>, her condition worsened, and her alignment shifted all the way to Lawful Evil. One night, in the mountains over the River Surbrin, Shundane became sickened by the thought of her carrying the dead weight that was Keeve around. She decided to do herself and Kuhal a favor and get rid of him. She pulled a long dagger from her pack and thrust it into Keeve's heart while he slept.

Kuhal awoke at the sound of Keeve's final gasping breaths and saw what Shundane had done. They argued, she saying that she knew he felt the same way about the situation, etc. Kuhal vehemently disagreed with her (maybe a turning point for Kuhal) and their argument quickly escalated into battle.

Their titanic battle ended with them both going over a cliff and plunging into the icy waters of the River Surbrin. Kuhal lost some equipment in the river and lost consciousness. Air Walker, Kuhal's sword, turned him incorporeal and whisked him away to safety (yes, it can do that, and Joe's just finding this out right now).

Meanwhile, <my NPC> and Tone's guy arrive at the PC's campsite hours later to find a campfire burning low, some tied up horses, and Keeve's body. My NPC gets his typical far-off look and says, "He must stay a while longer. She says so," and resurrects Keeve.

A day or so later, Kuhal comes back to the camp to find the three.

We could pick up there or a few weeks later, I have to check the timeline n stuff.

What was Shundane's fate? She could be dead or come back later as a villain.

Anybody have anything to add?

That is pretty sweet stuff. Sign me up Captain.

[bigcountry]

I have not made my character and am pumped for this.

[Lothrhino]

I like it.What do you think about adding that Shundane started to have feelings for Kuhal. She also begain to think he cared for her. This could add more reason to her killing Keeve, so that they could be together. This could add some cool angles if she comes back as a villain.

[shoonvii]

I yike it. Use it.
