OOTS Party

I think Race wise they are spin-offs of the 3rd edition PHB. So, I would go with the FR equivilants for IWD2, Shield Dwarf for Durkon, Moon Elf for V and Lightfoot Halfling for Belkar.

 

Maybe Luck of Heroes feat for Elan.

Something that reflects how badly Belkar fares in Search checks would also be nice, imo.

 

Great idea, have fun!
If you take Ghostwise Halfling, you can take Belkar's level barbarian without getting an XP penalty. It's probably his correct race, because why else would he have chosen it?
V is both unwise and uncharismatic, so you won't need Dalekeeper for him/her...

 

Roy has greatsword specialisation and great cleave as feats.

Elan has 18 charisma early in the comic. His wisdom is very low since he does a lot of stupid things, I'd say about 6. His int is higher than average, he even considered taking a wizard level in the comic. He wears chainmail without spellcasting failure since it's a 3.5E comic, so you might want to give him 3 armored arcana feats for free at the start.

For Durkon I'd choose Talos as god. The destructive blow is similar to Thor's might and both use lightnings. Use DK for the alignment.

Haley could also get mercantile background and weapon focus in bow, also dash and dodge since she's good at keeping enemies at distance.

Belkar takes a barbarian level later, so I'd take ghostwise halfling. The sexy shoeless god of war fought and defeated hundreds of enemies alone when the city was attacked and wiped out nearly the whole thieves' guild after the curse was lifted. He should have at least maxed out str (in spite of his small weapons he kills most enemies with just one hit) and dex, maybe even superhuman physical stats. A few skillpoints in intimidate would fit well to him. I'd take feats which allow to kill fast like power attack, dash and WF small blades. Racial enemy: goblins.

Vaarsuvius would never use a sling, he even refuses to use a bow. Str is low, you can't conclude he's unwise from the desire to be powerful and to save his family. Since he doesn't do any physical damage I'd take the expertise feat.

 

No proof of good DEX, as least as far as I can remember. Better than average WIS and CHA. Remember the mind flayer bussines early on? The general consensus is that that very comic prooves that Roy has better WIS and/or CHA than V. I'd 12 in the very least in both of them, maybe higher. As for feats, two levels of Cleave, Power attack, Weapon focus and expertise(which, translated to 3.0 would mean take Weapon Expertise in Greatsword all the way).

Elan is, by canon, CG. Maxed charisma, subpar INT and probably even lower WIS. Take DEX based feats.

Once again, Durkon is, by canon, LG. WIS is maxed out, CHA around 8 or so, maybe even a little lower, but not much. Good INT would fit him well. He can be diplomatic, since he acts as party straight man, after Roy, so I'd give him max rank in Diplomacy and at least few ranks in Intimidate.

While I hate to repeat myself... canon says Haley is CG. She shows no proofs of anything than average WIS, so I wouldn't give her anything above 10. Same for STR. CHA however is quite high. 14 in the very least, maybe more. Max out Bluff, at least few ranks in Diplomacy and Intimidate. Traditional rogue skills after that. Weapon Finesse sounds like a good feat for her, in case she is forced into melee.

Looks fine to me.

For the reasons already mentioned at Roy entry, I don't think you should give V more than 10 in WIS and CHA and probably less than that in CHA. Remember the comic before new year in Azure City, in the inn with ninja girl in training? There's your proof of low(or in the very least, average charisma). Skills and feats look good to me.

Might want to check this thread for more details. Hope you find information you need there.

Let me just say, good luck with that. Looks like a mighty fun game

 

Alternately, just say he had lucky rolls in the comic. How often does Elan cast spells anyway?

I agree with Kmonster, STR should be rather high for Belkar. A low STR would cripple him, he already has a maximum of 16 only at character creation because he is a halfling. I don't know if his CHA should be so low. He's got a bad attitude but I remember he seemed to be able to socialize in Azure City (didn't he danced on stilts?).

Elan should have a mediocre INT. 8 seems to be fine as he is not very bright (or perhaps 10). He invested points in Riding so you could consider taking cross class skills.

I'd put 14 in INT for Roy.

Vaarsuvius shouldn't use weapons at all, it's not his/her style.

 

Vaarsuvius has Conjuration as barred school, so I'd make him a diviner. The extra spells per day will also help this character who can't fight without magic.

 

*wince* On behalf of Roy's sanity, may I request that you not let Elan sing?

-Max

 

Aww, I really like this party idea. Too bad I uninstalled IWD2 a day ago, so I can't follow up with my own... But maybe I'll make it in bg2. No who should be the bhaalspawn?

 

"Sneak... sneak... sneak past the goblin horde!"
Nearly my 1000th post y'all... I'll try to make it more memorable than this one

 

Let Elan casts spells. Bardic Magic should be song-based as it is.

 

Yes, the Shark Skin cloak comes from Light of Selune.

 

I can imagine that!
