Delight is to him- a far, far upward, and inward delight- who against the proud gods and commodores of this earth, ever stands forth his own inexorable self.

Re: RAVENLOFT: The One That Got Away OOC
I'm going to edit and clean up the above posts. Wait one...
If you try the ritual:
http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/magic ... ations.htm
We are using these rules.
As a special bonus, if one of the three casters has Ethereal Empathy or Ghostsight, then you guys all get a +2 on relevant rolls.
Please note that you can't take 10.
Two skill check failures in a row= bad stuff.
Clear?

Re: RAVENLOFT: The One That Got Away OOC
Does the literature we found indicate the benefits of having Ethereal Empathy, or is that solely out of character knowledge?
Just in case, I would like to roll Sense Motive (+7) to see if the captured mage is only claiming we need him to save his own skin.

It's something characters with the relevant knowledge skills can easily figure out from reading the ritual instructions--but of course they won't think in metagame terms.
More like, ''Gee it would be helpful if somebody could see into the misty world of ghost and spirits. That would surely help steer and control the forces of this incantation.'

Re: RAVENLOFT: The One That Got Away OOC
Sorry, one more edit.
I cut and pasted from Word but not , it seems, the properly edited doc.
There are all those checks, but the DC is 20, not 23.
I've added B for backlash and SC for secondary casters.

Re: RAVENLOFT: The One That Got Away OOC
Well, Raen has a good chance of making a DC 20 check. Not a very good chance but good enough.

Re: RAVENLOFT: The One That Got Away OOC
Since I have Ethereal Empathy, I can assume the role of a secondary caster to grant the +2 bonus, unless someone else has that covered already.

Re: RAVENLOFT: The One That Got Away OOC
My Character does not have a good Knowledge(arcana) just basic Knowledge lvl aka 1 rank is all at this time .
So he will be one on guard while the much more knowledge PCs can do the checks . And my charactar also does not have any od the Relevant feats to help with skill checks as well .

Re: RAVENLOFT: The One That Got Away OOC
With Klokulf as a secondary caster, Alain or Dorgio would need to roll an 11 to obtain success on a DC 20 Knowledge: Arcane check.

Re: RAVENLOFT: The One That Got Away OOC
Too many "50%" chances for my liking. They build on each other. Richemulot is going to be swallowed by the nine hells.

If you keep the portal watch till morning...

Dorgio can boost his own chance, bigtime.
He can prepare the spell multiple times.
But he lacks Knowledge Planes and Dread Realms.
