Quote from: WeaveOut of curiosity, how would this side story play out? Solo session? With the group? It could be cool to have Vidar and Vinter have entwining goals, but I also feel like Vidar would greatly benefit from some time to build a decent relationship with someone in the core group. I think the closest person anyone has to liking him is Sjack, and that's probably only liking in the sense of "barely tolerates."

Up to you, really, but generally players have been good about supporting one another's personal goals - like Kylfa seeking dragon-hides or Dagny creating the cauldron Vanslind.

Sjack actually finds Vidar amusing. Not in a "oh god, look at this idiot" sense but in a "Heh, that's actually funny, but I can't react because I don't want to feed it given the tense situation, so I'm trying really hard not to." If a chance arises, I'd be down for a chance for Vidar and Sjack to hang. And since Sjack and Vinter get along already, relatively, there's a reason for them to do so.

Ragnvaldr hit level 6 - just looking at choosing his feat and wondering if you would rule that Power Attack and Vital Strike could be applied to the same attack or not? It doesn't seem to specifically say you can't...

Wow. So that's now like... I think 25 average damage for a Dagnöskur attack, or 34 on a crit. Absolute madness :D

Vital Strike isn't the greatest feat, because it can't be applied to a full attack, and full attacking is where it's at for a level 6+ fighter. It does help a little if you need to move around a lot and aren't going to get to full attack, but you might also want to consider something like Lunge, which lets you get a full attack on anything 15' away (5' step + 10' reach).

One thing to maybe keep in mind is because we're E8, a Fighter's BAB is never going to rise beyond +8/+3, which might influence some choices. That said consensus seems to be that Vital Strike is more useful for lower Strength characters.

Hmm, valid points. I dunno though, not much else is jumping out at me in terms of feat selection at this point... except mayyybe Improved Unarmed Strike, not because I think it'll see much use but just because it fits my vision of the character for Ragnvaldr to still be a pretty dangerous opponent even with his bare hands.

Maybe Cornugon Smash? That seems rather Ragnvaldr-ish, and it'll give you more use out of his good Intimidate skill.

Feel free to rename that something suitably Fimbulvinter-ish - Jötunn Smash or Aegirian Smash or whatever - if you'd like to take it.

There's also Great Cleave, Cleaving Finish (both good for getting extra attacks vs. large groups of enemies).

EDIT: Also Improved Sunder or Combat Reflexes aren't the worst choices ever, if somewhat more specialized. Diehard (a General not a Combat Feat) also seems very Ragnvaldr.

I've been watching Vikings and missing Fimbulvinter something fierce. I don't have a huge ton of time right now but I would like to scrape together some time soonish to play. Right now the party is camped in Ironwood but near the edge, so it should be easy to get out and back to Wulfheim quickly.

Would any of the regular Fimbulvinter crew - or anyone else! - be up for some midsummer Fimbulvinter?
