The World of Avlis

Hi,

some RL friends of mine have showed interrest in avlis and have asked me if a *migration* of their chars would work in the avlisian world.

One of them is a battle-wranger, the other a vermin slayer.
Both chars from the Cbod.

Since they are dwarf lovers and my RL friends I want to join them.
I have been playing with the idea of some kinda char that is more intoned to the earth/rock.
Would an avlis god fit that profile?

Or would he be more a deep druid?

Thanks for the info.

Let me rephrase it:

One char plays a battle-wranger type char.
i.e. a barb with a limited weapon selection.
The other a vermin-slayer type char.
Fighter / thief specialized in hunting down vermin.

I did not mean any kinda prestige classes or like.
Neither did I mean to have them pre-pushed.

The other a vermin-slayer type char.
Fighter / thief specialized in hunting down vermin.

I'd imagine more like a ranger/rogue, for the Favored Enemy. Cool character idea... and a good excuse to go after fire beatles. "Oi 'ate them bugs!"

Well if he takes the ranger then there is no need for a rogue.
The ranger can take most skills a rogue can.
The extra points a rogue gets would imho be no less the Metagaming since he is only taking a class due to the extra benefits that do not fit a char.

Thanks for the answer.
I will pass it on.

I would think that rogue would fit fine since rogues are more suited to the urban environment that a rat catcher would be running around in. It might be metagaming, but not powergaming.

If the *area* in which a vermin hunter were a city then yeah.
But the vermin hunter's hunting ground is in the caves.
It is not my call.
But this is my old pnp guy's I used to DM for and they ask me for help.
And I was a bitch DM.

I don't see a problem with characters tailoring their skills to suit a certian purpose. I also don't have a problem with an *occasional* off-world character, ala planar travel. The problem was when we had hoardes of them.

The good thing about off-world dwarves is that very soon you will be able to base your character in Rockholm which is a PW that will link with us.

@Orl:
Well they are not really offworlders.
They just focus their chars on 2nd edition prestige classes.
And I have no idea if that is ok with you.
I don't wanna go over your head here.

I made sure that they knew that any pnp prestige class they take is nothing more then a template here.

If you are interrested I can have them write a short essay on the prestige classes.
(fyi the battle-ranger was the dwarf with the spiky armor in Salvatores Drow Novels)

Out of interrest, where is this Rockholm located, server wise?

It's a CoPaP world, which will be linked to us in due time. As with the other linkups the location of the portal there will be revealed IC through its own plotline.
