DragonDown Grotto Adventure (Inactive)

1 to 50 of 55 << first < prev | 1 | 2 | next > last >>

An Evil sorcerer has a cunning plan. He hopes to reawaken the bones of an ancient dracolich and appease it with a sacrifice of dragon eggs. After much searching, the sorcerer has discovered a draconic nursery dedicated to the youth of dragonkind. However, the sorcerer's minions haven't managed to procure him enough eggs or hatchlings to bring to fruition, so he decides to dupe a few heroes into doing his dirty work for him!

Character Generation:

-You will begin at 7th level
-20 point buy
-Im using only the core rulebook. I want to have a kind of dirt orginal adventure. Only races and classes from core.
- 5,000 gp to start
- Chaotic alignments both evil and good are not allowed. Good is mildly discouraged, normally good PC's aren't going to aid an Evil Sorcerer >.>
- I want to add another race to this kind of a house rule:
Half-Draconic
Racial Adjustment: +2 to Strength and Wisdom, -4 to Charisma.
Size: Large or Hulking is a better word
Speed: 30 feet
Draconic Fury: Once every 48 hours you can enter in a state of draconic fury flooding your veins and growing scales. You get a +2 to AC, Fort, Will, and 1 stat of choice. Effects of fear and enchantments are voided. You MAY switch one of your stats with Str. When in fury, casting ANY spell must be done as if casting defensively. If you planned to cast defensive, you take a -2 penalty. When you end your rage, you can only take a half action next turn as you are exhausted from the fury.
Note: If you play a Half-Draconic Sorcerer. You MUST have your bloodline as Draconian.


I'll throw in Magus and Cavalier as well for classes.


Dotting for interest. Interesting how we're limited to 5000gp with 7th level characters, perhaps seeking a more "natural ability" feel to the PC's power?

I like the half-draconic sorcerer restriction. "If you play a sorcerer with a race that gives a -4 to charisma..."

Definitely thinking of trying out the house ruled race, most likely with a martial character.

When you say only classes from core, how does that restriction extend to the archetypes?


It does not extend to archetypes. Those are welcome, also you may select two traits. They cannot be from the same category.


Despite the -4, I may make amendments to the race to make it more "Sorcerer friendly". I would like to see some spellcasters.


Question: How long does the draconic fury last?


Draconic Fury last minutes equal to your character level.

Also there seems to be almost zero interest for this adventure. Very disappointed and might consider placing it inactive unless more interest is received.


Perhaps giving more setting information might help.

Do half-dragons not get draconic as a language? It seems apt.

How are we doing hp?


Half-Draconians get draconic yes.
Full Hp for 1st level, average for other


Interesting, I could play a greedy Half Draconic Monk, desserting his monastery to work as a mercenary.


I have the crunch for my half draconic barbarian done.

Jietin

I'll get to work on his fluff tonight.

Can you tell us anything else about the setting GM?

Here's the profile(still lacking some things)


Hmm. The Nursery is overlooking a canyon, in the canyon is the small town of OakenDrag.

Silver Crusade

I have a character in mind but she is kitsune, I don't plan on ever having her shift forms from her human one if that helps


What are the age categories for half-draconic?


young: 85 years - 185
middle: 186 years - 260
old: 261 years- 500


You say core races and classes only, but what about feats, spells, and equipment? There is a lot to work with beyond the core book for these things.


Feats and Equipment are core. However if you can describe the spell's effects in your profile in can be from any APG, UM, UC. etc


I'm thinking a Neutral evil cleric. Half draconic race, seeking to raise a horde of lesser dragons to serve under the dracolich the sorcerer is reviving. Working on backstory and stats tonight. Thinking just a straightforward cleric with death and destruction domains, a real harbinger of doom type.


So far we have:
Asher- Cleric
Orgirdor- Monk
CampinCarl- Barbarian

The Barbarian looks fine, that str is pretty scarey and that doesn't even include Rage or Draconic fury ;D could use a backstory. Monk..needs some work.

Also if everyone could put the following info in their "Classes/Levels" portion of profile : Hp, AC, Touch AC, Flat Footed, Perception, Fort, Will, Ref, CMB, CMD, and Initiative. It appears as soft grey under your name when you post.It makes life easier for the GM


Aye, working on the fluff now.

Haha we're going to end up with an entire party of half-dragons.


Just saying this might get a bit difficult without a healer...


Hrm, I'll change a thing or two up to heal better with my cleric, -4 cha really hurts the channeling through. We really need a wizard though, a prepared wizard is key to a party surviving dragons. I'll post in a bit with a character profile.


Sorry I made the monk at work really fast :P and I'm not really sure about it, I could change to a halfling sorcerer...

The Exchange

I would like to try this character out, she is still a work in progress


Changed the monk for a half elf rogue, updated the profile and working on the backstory, some feedback would be good...


A wizard you say? I have evil tendencies... And chaotic wizards are the most fun...

however, I am unavailable most afternoons, and post early in the mornings.... If this is okay, an elven wizard who has corrupted and seeks lichdom is on the way


Here's the profile for ashern's cleric, still working on getting everything moved to it, should be done in a day or so.


I got the fluff done, although it is short since I know little of the setting.

Jietin


I'm gonna get this adventure on its feet by Monday, the gameplay and discussion will be open by then. Its time to start adding the finishing touches to those characters.

The Exchange

I believe I am ready. BTW I am in the GMT-8 time zone(US-PST) and usually post between 7am-3pm monday-friday. I will try to post at least once per day on the weekend.


Updated a few things.


I wouldn't mind joining in as well, still finishing this Magus, a Hexcrafter and Spell Dancer archetypes, for the campaign and would like to know if it works or if there are problems. (Still filling out the gear portion).

Time wise, I can post in Eastern Time evenings & nights (~6pm to 1 AM) and some mornings. No limit to the days of the week though.


Profile has been updated.


Awesome guys, sorry I haven't been active much lately. I had a slight family issue this weekend, and if your a family-person you put them first.
I will again have the threads up and going either by Monday or Tuesday early morning


Is there still and opening?


Profile update. Final, me thinks unless there is a problem.


Sorry for the my absence. I'm preping the thread now.


so, who is in it?


Everyone who has their character ready as of now


Re-Recruitment is open. We need 1 divine caster or healer.

The Exchange

Come on folks you know you want to be evil.


I'm interested. I'm thinking about being a LE Cleric of Zon-Kuthon. Would this work for the group?

That character looks cool ^^^^


Thank you :) even since 3rd ed i love making necromancers, usually the arcane ones, but in PF the cleric stuff makes them just as cool :)


IF i am chosen to be your caster, i would like to know if i can have a few undead by the time i join, from those you fought. but if i can make a few of my own... that would be cool too =^^=
