PHB 2 Fiddling

[bryant]

The Character Builder has been updated, so I started fiddling around with Players Handbook 2 ideas. The first thing I statted up was a human shaman named Bivvy, who claims to be of a noble family fallen on hard times. His spirit companion is a butler. “Whichever type of spirit companion you choose, it can have any appearance you like.” I’m just sayin’.

He’s taking Wrath of Winter as one of his at-wills, on the premise that the butler ought to be able to appear at someone’s side noiselessly. Also, I think, Blessing of the Seven Winds. Bit of a tornado, what?

I need to find a small figurine depicting Stephen Fry to make this really work.

Oh, just call him BERTIE and be done with it, man.

"You're in a ten by ten corridor with torches in brackets every hundred feet. THEN THE DARK LORD APPEARS! What do you do?"

"I gawk and stammer. Why doesn't Jeeves DO something?"

"He clears his throat pointedly while rolling his eyes back behind you"

"OH yes of course. SMASHING idea. I run!"

This works /really well/ with the shaman class. I'm buying the majority of his abilities through the spirit companion; Bevvie himself will rarely actually do anything in combat.

Can the spirit companion be killed, and what happens to Bevvie if it is?

[bryant]

It can be, and Bevvie takes a bit of damage as a result. Since it's shocking.

Prostrated by shock. Need a stiff drink of the old B and soda, what?
