Dominion of the Dragonthrones

I could do gunslinger...maybe spellslinger(wizard archetype)/gunslinger... Or gunslinger/ranger... Is Eridani an acceptable favored enemy?

I'll work up a gunslinger/ranger sniper type

I am going to choke a fish, right now.

I wrote up a s!@~ ton of stuff (all the things I said I wanted to do on my agenda) and found that none of it saved.

I.... am LIVID!!!!

I'm going to take it out on you guys. Roll reflex saves DC 1,000,000,000

>:-D Don't actually roll. Just saying... I'm pissed.

Dicyphue - Sounds good! I like that concept better :) Looking forward to seeing it.

EDIT: Yes, Eridani would be acceptable. I'd say just pick Giant, but the very nature between a giant and an Eridani is different enough.

How does one choke a fish, well besides taking it out of water?

How strong of characters are you looking for. I was just told by a DM in anohter game recruitman which was 8th level gestal that my character was too powerful, even though one of the guys in game posted how reliable I am as a poster, b/c he is in nother game with me. Well he said that a was a strong poster which I assuem means reliable and good post to boot. Sorry venting a bit here but the DM said my guys was too much to track and validate and would through things off. Now the kid in me wanted to be like why are you running a game if you don't know how characters work? So just asking so I don't I guess go overboard this time. Thanks.

reflex save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15 C'mon nat 20!

Hey, what are naming conventions like in the different countries? Should I just go with standard fantasy fare; "Mizzen the Slinger" or something more earth ethnic; "Vladimir Alexidrovich" or "Nigel Smythe" or "Mbebe Nwodo"... Or, ultimately, does it not matter?

Edit: I just noticed the little parentheses enclosed comments about culture, as I'm planning to be an Anthrosian, I will choose a greek or roman style name.

Incidently, Mbebe Nwodo is the name of a doctor who works in the local ER.

Hey, what's the rule with multiclassing; could I be a (Gunslinger/Ranger)2 then (Spellslinger/Ranger)1, for character level 3, Gunslinger2/Spellslinger1/Ranger3?

Yeah, either way I'll have a Gunslinger/Ranger ready in just a few, make a version for both ways.

Couple questions while I finalise my character for submission:

1. Do we get 2 traits? Campaign traits?
2. Average starting wealth for third level?

nah, forget the spellslinger variant... I'll just go gunslinger/ranger...

So I did a random roll on the Ultimate Campaign background generator and came to the Conflict section... I got; committed Mass Murder of Leaders for Justice... that works, would definitely explain how come he's kind of laying low now...
the rest of it works really well too... orphaned, adopted, witnessed death of his family, burning with revenge...

Hey, what's the rule with multiclassing; could I be a (Gunslinger/Ranger)2 then (Spellslinger/Ranger)1, for character level 3, Gunslinger2/Spellslinger1/Ranger3?

For what it's worth, I think the way to do this would be to alternate between Gunslinger and Ranger, and level up Spellslinger every time. Multiclassing is rough on spellcasters because of how much it hurts to lose a level of casting - both for DCs and for what you can do.

With that said, Ranger and Gunslinger both have: 1d10 HD, Good Fort and Ref saves, and full Bab. Changing between those only affects 1) how many skill points you get since the Ranger gets two more, and 2) what you get for class abilities. That'll seriously help bolster the Wizard side, and it'll always be consistent, which is great. A wizard with full BAB and a ton of health alone is an amazing thing.

Unless you really want the pet, which is likely to be weak from the Multiclassing, I might even stop Ranger after 3 levels - you'll have Track, Wild Empathy, Favoured Enemy, Favoured Terrain, and two free Feats. You could even take an Archetype to get Trapfinding out of it if you wanted.

I'm looking for a campaign I can play a skinwalker in... :p

That said, I can come up with an interesting combo, if you're looking for more still. ACG acceptable?

Right now, I'm imagining the havok a monk (maybe martial artist)/slayer could wreak...

Hey ya'll. Updated religions for maorens and anthrosians. Will get to all the rest of the stuff that was deleted at a later time. I will be out of town for a day starting tomorrow so there will be a delay in response.

Oh yes, please take either two traits OR a bonus feat at character creation. You have 3,000g to spend on equipment.

I'd prefer no multiclassing, just to save the mess. I guess whatever the gestalt rules say about it, but definitely no prestige. It doesn't work to well with gestalt.

I think Gunslinger/Ranger would be BA. Pick the Trapper archetype, and you'd really be a hunter/desperado :)

Sorry EldonG, as fun as that'd be, it'd conflict with the story if you played an undead. :-/ I'm willing to hear other ideas.

Neat, thanks!

Skinwalker isn't undead, it's a pretty cool Lycanthrope race.

Oh. Haha. Did I mention I seldom play in the Pathfinder universe? I usually just make up s@@#. Haha.

Forget that last post EldonG! Will check it out.

Thanks, Azeban.

Alright. So, I'm switching Cecil up to make him Vanguard // Linnorm Bloodline Sorcerer. Vanguard is the closest thing I can find to an Arcane Archer base class so it should be a pretty neat little mashup.

This thread is looking really good! Can't wait to get (re)started :-D

So...thoughts on Monk/Slayer?

OOOOOOOK! Here's a first attempt, there's still a lot of blank space on the sheet.

--------------------

--------------------

--------------------

Do we automatically get the racial traits listed under our nationality; Focused Study and Silvered Tongue in my case?

Are we doing Heroic Distinctions instead of magic items, or what's up with that?

Doing a little bit of tweaking...buying equipment, shuffling strength up a bit in order to carry the equipment.

I'm surprised no one has gone for a Sorcerer/Oracle.

Part of me wants to make a Wizard/Cleric who takes Magical Lineage: METEOr swarm, his name would be Tellah. :P

Sorcerer/Oracle would be alright, except you can still only cast one spell per round... you may be longer lasting, but your actually effectiveness in a battle doesn't necessarily increase.

EldonG - I like the idea sir. You'd be limited to choosing Wildman (a subtype of the maorens). Shoot me a pm with backstory ideas for me to consider.

Diphycue - yes, the abilities of the varying ethnicities are added to the human racial traits.

Yes, I like heroic distinctions because I hate the idea of being super awesome solely based on the equipment. However, this does not mean you won't find equipment and such. That's a lot of the fun. But you just wouldn't be dependent on it.

Just checking back in. I think you will like Alice when I finish with her. Keeping the "R" rated in mind with adult themes. Been a busy few days at work, but I hope to have here finished soon.

Cool...I was hoping that was the case.

Carroc will be a Wildman with a *learned* LN alignment...it's the only way he can maintain control. He's more CN by nature, but struggles to keep the beast from running his life.

He's had years of monastic living to help...

Oh, I didn't see anything about spending that starting gold. Carroc has few needs, but he'd really like a missile weapon. I'd assume no real magic items, with the heroic distinctions, but what about stuff like potions...or is it really wide open?

Yeah man. Whatever you can afford! Obvious keep it within reason.

Updated

--------------------

--------------------

--------------------

I do still have some money to spend...

I have chosen....

Azeban, a mystic orc witch doctor now enslaved by the Master Race.

Drake Steelwind, an anthrosian mercenary with a moral compass.

Sky Arkham, an anthrosian who is a master rifleman and giant hunter.

Carroc of the Wild, a maroen from the northern reaches of his continent who is cursed with the spirit of the Hunter.

Sydney, a magi with a thirst for Eridani blood.

And of course, Cecil Macer, an anthrosian soldier in the draconic fleet who seeks the power of the dragoons.

Soooo.... we're pretty magic heavy. Can I convince anyone to take on a skill roll with one of their classes? If not, no worries. I will make an NPC.

I'll have 8 ranks per level...

...NO social skills, mind you!

Nah. Monk/slayer would only give you 6/lvl. I'm thinking more for things like trapfinding.

BTW, I'm looking for a trait that makes Kn. (Nature) a class skill...I know it's out there!

Slayer (ranger/rogue based) is 6...+1 from Int, +1 from preferred class...

I have decent ranks in like 5 Knowledge skills for what it's worth.

BTW, I'm looking for a trait that makes Kn. (Nature) a class skill...I know it's out there!

The Trait Guide is your friend.

Ah. I thought you meant raw ranks.

I will be finalizing information and rules by this weekend. Hopefully we can begin next week. My weekends from work are Tuesday/Wednesday and I have a buddy's dirty thirty so I'll be tending to that. Posts may not be everyday as RL comes first and I also do not have internet where I live (in the middle of the f$%$ing Adirondacks). On slow days, I can post from work. I appreciate everyone's interest and I'm sure we will have an enjoyable time playing.

In the meantime, I encourage you all to read the gameplay thread. I won't be butt-hurt if you don't, it just has other information for y'all :-)

I figured that was it...oh, thanks, Azeban...he's a Devotee of the Green. Good stuff, perfect flavor, and how did I forget it? :p

i have the trapfinding feature and decent skill related to all the craft skill

Woot!

I will have my characters stats finalized by this weekend, when is the game start date?

Avatar up and ready to go

Posts may not be everyday as RL comes first and I also do not have internet where I live (in the middle of the f@$+ing Adirondacks).

Holy hell that must be gorgeous. I've only been up that way once and it was breathtaking. Totally understand RL taking priority, of course. I'll read up and dot the Gameplay tab. Thanks for the selection! Looking forward to playing with you guys.

Ok, I have an avatar...will be working out the profile today. Ready to slay!

ADK's are incredibly beautiful. I live right in the heart of them. Just sucks when I want to use the internet I have to walk down to another building; where I risk encountering bears.

I thought you loved bears. I remember that time you told me that you met a bear at a bar and he was the sweetest guy. Didn't you go home with him that night?

May as well roll a reflex save now:

Reflex vs GM's heterosexual security: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Since my heterosexual security is high, then the DC is low.... I'll spare you... for now.

Such a handsome bear.... ANYWAYS!

Hahaha!

If someone drops out, I'd be interested in running an Oracle in this campaign. Basic concept is that he receives his powers from strange alien beings in the outer planes. Think Cthulu-esque; although the powers are great, the constant whispering and glimpses into alien minds have made the character paranoid (and whatever curse I choose). It would probably be either an Oracle/Synthesist or an Oracle/Bloodrager.

Anyways, looks fun!
