Devil's Tomb

Game Master Matt Adams 259

Morphling-Yes

Woodhams-Use the Pathfinder version, please.

HP: 4d12 ⇒ (7, 9, 9, 1) = 26: change the 1 to a 6 and that's 31+8=39 total.

Done with the crunch execpt for items. Will get to that tomorrow.

HP- 1d10 ⇒ 2
1d10 ⇒ 3
1d10 ⇒ 1
1d10 ⇒ 10

My starting four books are Core, APG, Swashbuckling Adventures and Adventurer's Handbook.

Had to make minor change, replacing Aldori dueling sword with a rapier. Replacing Exotic Weapon Prof. with Extra Finesse (from SA). Will repost character later.

here is corrected stuff:

I will get my build posted as soon as I'm able - I have a very busy weekend but I will get on it soon!

It's fine. I hang out with my fiance most of the weekend, so I don't expect to post much on the weekends.

Are there restrictions on the WBL spend? Often GMs rule you can't spend more than 25% on a particular item.

Harakani here.

Benedict is fast, sneaky, a trained linguist and as a cleric of Exploration has the ability to see through closed doors.

All the details are in the profile

roll: 44d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 4, 1, 2, 2, 6, 4, 4, 1, 6, 5, 6, 1, 4, 1, 3, 3, 5, 6, 4, 4, 2, 1, 4, 1, 1, 5, 2, 5, 1, 3, 5, 2, 5, 6, 5, 2, 5, 2, 2, 3, 5, 4) = 149
roll: 44d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 4, 4, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 1, 6, 3, 3, 1, 6, 3, 6, 2, 4, 4, 2, 4, 4, 1, 4, 3, 2, 4, 3, 5, 6, 6, 3, 5, 1, 4, 6, 1, 5, 2, 4, 3, 5) = 149

roll: 44d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 2, 1, 2, 5, 6, 2, 1, 2, 5, 4, 2, 3, 2, 3, 2, 2, 6, 3, 5, 3, 3, 1, 4, 2, 3, 1, 3, 6, 3, 3, 1, 4, 4, 4, 6, 6, 1, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4) = 145
roll: 44d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 6, 4, 3, 5, 2, 1, 2, 2, 6, 5, 4, 3, 5, 3, 5, 4, 6, 6, 1, 1, 1, 4, 4, 6, 6, 4, 1, 6, 3, 5, 6, 4, 4, 3, 6, 1, 1, 2, 1, 5, 3, 3) = 160

Edit oops.

4d6: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 2, 6) = 14 13
4d6: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 6, 1) = 18 17
4d6: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 6, 4) = 13 12
4d6: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 5, 2) = 11 10
4d6: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 2, 1) = 11 10
4d6: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 4, 6) = 19 15

Any idea how much longer recruitment is going to go on?

4d6 - 1 ⇒ (5, 6, 1, 2) - 1 = 13
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (2, 5, 2, 1) - 1 = 9
4d6 - 2 ⇒ (3, 2, 3, 5) - 2 = 11
4d6 - 5 ⇒ (5, 6, 6, 5) - 5 = 17
4d6 - 2 ⇒ (2, 3, 6, 2) - 2 = 11
4d6 - 4 ⇒ (5, 6, 6, 4) - 4 = 17

I'm thinking a Bladebound Magus. However, I know that's a lot of work for the gm. Would you be alright with something like that?

Also the four books I'm looking at; Ultimate Magic, Ultimate Campaign, Core and ARG

HP: 3d8 ⇒ (8, 8, 8) = 24

Holy hp batman! That's some good health.

Also, I've got a second question: If I take exotic weapon proficiency with a falcata would you allow me to use one for the blackblade? RAW seem to suggest it would be fine, but I figured I'd ask. That is assuming the blackblade itself is okay.

Count me as interested!

How do you feel about the ghoran race and dread psionic class?

Will Concentration be class skill for me like it was in 3.5 or will it work like casters in Pathfinder?

Here's the alias for Morphling's submission - still fine-tuning the character sheet, and finishing the backstory/personality. As it turns out, statting out a martial-capable spellcaster with a pseudo-multiclassing archetype and two animal companions is kind of complicated, heh. I am getting the final details put together now, and should be entirely finished shortly.

Named after Andoran's patron celestial, the avoral Talmandor, Tal has always found himself drawn to the worship of Erastil. Popular in the region, the faith of Old Deadeye has led to Tal's love of the wilderness, of archery, and of the companionship of animals. His closest friends are two wolves - runts of their litter, and raised by the caring human almost since birth. Both have become well trained, and his teaching has bestowed both of them with far greater cleverness than their more feral brethren.

Where are you getting the second animal companion? and what is the Mighty enchantment? Or are you referring to the strength rating of the bow?

I've decided to keep recruitment open until friday. Then, I'll choose six characters to enter the competition.

Bladebound is fine.

I don't have any restrictions on WBL, but you really shouldn't put too much money into one item. Just in case.

Ghoran and the Dread Psionic is fine.

I allowed Morphling to take a second animal companion with the animal domain.

Concentration will work normally for Pathfinder for the Warblade.

Here is the submission from Beenjammin. Oread Magus (Bladebound).

I am chewing my nails here. I'm so excited about the possibility of getting accepted into this campaign I could burst.

I'm working all weekend, so I'll have the accepted characters and gameplay section set up on Monday. You guys have given me quite a few interesting characters to decide between.

*NAIL CHEWING INTENSIFIES*

Can't wait to see who you pick! Have a good weekend.

I agree, the chance to be able to use Swashbuckling Adventures is just too good to miss :)

Hurries to finish on time...

4d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 5, 1) = 17 = 16
4d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 2, 1) = 15 = 14
4d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 1, 6) = 10 = 9
4d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 3, 5) = 15 = 13
4d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 2, 2) = 13 = 11
4d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 2, 2) = 10 = 8

Which equals a 16-point buy. Looks like I'm not taking the die rolls.

...and I couldn't make the Friday deadline. Work and family just kept me too busy. Good gaming, everyone!

Am I missing someone, or do I only see 6 completed applications?

I have the following:

Alexander Arcane
Jack Garrison Melee
Tristan Surovati Melee
Benedict Bishop Divine
Talman Levie Ranged/Skilled
Othaniel Melee/Arcane

Also, Othaniel, you need to pick 4 books. Right now you have 5; Core, ARG, APG, Ult. Magic, and Ult. Campaign.

If that is all of us then ya I doth suppose.

Looks like I need items then. Totally forgot about that.

I didn't pick anything from APG. Class/Archtype are from Ult Magic. Traits are both from Ult. Campaign. Spells are from either Ult Magic or Core. Feats are from Core. Race is from ARG. Is there something I'm missing?

Edit: In fact looking at it again, all my spells are from Core.

With 3rd party content, does that mean we could potentially get 3rd party races?

In theory at least.

Falcata is from APG

Had the same happen to me, its why I switched away from Aldori dueling sword.

Would be nifty, extended pick

Oh. Totally missed that. Hmm. Well, I'd like to keep the falcata, so I guess I'll drop ultimate campaign, and just switch to some less fitting traits from APG. Besides, that'll give me access to the APG spells.

Yeah, APG is just such a good resource, its hard to give it up. :)

Any chances for new submissions? Or is recruiting fully closed? :)

Well, the selections are supposed to be announced today, so I doubt it . . .

Speaking of which, does anyone know how many he's accepting? I've seen plenty of pbp games with six players. It's entirely feasible for all of us to go in together.

I was thinking about creating something simple, bread and butter. I play regularly with Galahad and I like his style, so I'd love to get back in a party with him. If the GM feels he can still accept applications, I'll create whatever we need the most in the party :)

In the opening statement he says the six of you.

Wow. We got six players exactly. That means everyone who put in a completed character is in the game. I'll have the gameplay thread up tomorrow. Sorry for the lateness today. Work was killer.

hp: 8 + 3d8 ⇒ 8 + (2, 3, 8) = 21
so 8 +5 +5 +8 = 26?

I will have avatar up this evening.

Just took a look at the other melee fighter and Jesus Christ. AC 25 with no armor and dex to damage in only 4 levels? How?

An overpowered 3.5 class, I imagine. :P

Well, Swashbuckling Adventures offers the feat "Extra Finesse" which adds DEX to damage with finesse weapons (requires Weapon Finesse). The Web of Steel feat is actually a Pathfinder feat from The Adventurer's Handbook, if you take it at first level you can instead replace Heavy Armor Prof. with it. The disadvantage of this feat is that, although it is an armor bonus, you lose it when flat footed, don't have one hand free, or not using a weapon you have Weapon Focus with.
The other feat is Unarmored Fighting Proficiency (also from Swashbuckling Adventures). It is a 3 feat chain (beginner, intermediate, and master) that adds to your base AC depending on level if you are unarmored.

Jack, is Urban Rager the one that gains DEX instead of STR?

No. I know of no official class feature that give dex to damage besides Dervish Dance (only with one scimitar) or Gun Training (Which is why people probably hate Gunslingers). Web of Steel is 3pp not Pathfinder and requires Combat Expertise, which I don't see. Alone it isn't that bad but combined with the Unarmored Fighting Prof line makes it ridiculous. Even a dwarf fighter in heavy armor and heavy shield would be hard pressed to keep up with that AC. Sure you lose it when FF but Improved Uncanny Dodge, high ref and perception is going to negate most sources. You have a 33 point buy (13 high than most of the others) and minmaxed. It is an impressive build but people are going to be very weary and critical of your character.

I said Web of Steel is Pathfinder (not Paizo), it isn't from 3.5
Also, I was asking if Urban Rager got DEX bonus (not to damage), instead of STR. Also, there are several other ways to get DEX to damage in Pathfinder, Slashing Grace and Aldori Swordlord are two more.
As to weary, I didn't choose Tome of Battle, arguably the most OP book in the series. I do one thing well, which is single combat, there are numerous ways to nerf me, blindness, darkness, feint (my biggest bane), just about any mind affecting magic, etc.
I also only have 28 hp, you have almost 50% more than me.
As for the rolls, I will gladly change to a 20 point buy. I put a 16 into CHA just for story purposes (definitely not minmaxed) , the only thing that helps me with game effect-wise is Intimidate.

btw, thanks for pointing out the CE pre req. I missed it. I will have to change a feat.
