It seems that our candidate is ready, although he may have his days which he does not post. Problem is he is getting hit by the weather from hell, he is the SilverPrince excellent role player and he should have no problems with integrating a character into the campaign.
Alright, well then, I'll make the first post tomorrow, and may the game go well!
And if SilverPrince could shoot me his info, that'd be dandy
Hey everyone! Is there any specific roles that need filling? I can play nearly any character, so I was looking to optimize the group. If nothing is forthcoming, expect a character that defies all logic but is absolutely awesome. Jaxxel 'The Jinx' Shebasa, my Catfolk Rogue (Carnivalist) with his Skunk Peppette, is a very good example. Sad that character went unused, but meh! My first thought is a caster or sneak of some sort. Any thoughts?
we could definitely use a sorcerer or wizard, as we have no full arcane caster. As an alchemist my abilities tend more towards "the alchemical hulk (sort of)" not the "merlin of the death ray".
That's what I was hoping someone would say! Well, that or Munchkin God of Golarion. I'd play that class too! :P Expect a character up by tomorrow! How do you plan on implementing my character's recruitment: generic stuff (Character is a hostage, wanderer, ect.) or character specific? Just wondering how to end my character's introductory story I will put under his/her/it's background (No idea on gender yet. May decide on genderless if a unique enough idea meshes with it!).
No one has any problems with a pestilence-bloodlined, true neutral aligned Sorceror, do they? He's something of a visionary madman, with strange, alien philosophies reminiscent of Druidic.
If the idea of a possibly insane self-proclaimed prophet that treats disease and vermin as agents of divinity, I can use something else along a similarly unique line!
hmmm... that could be fun, it could be sad and it could be terrifying!
Or if not, how about a maddened Oracle of Lore, whose mind is a tortured tangle of facts and information which he tries to piece together, sure some universal truth lies within? Sort of like Mekhet from Vampire: The Requiem or Jim Carry from The Number 23.
Visionary madmen are my forte! :P
Any thoughts?
Ok, when one starts leaving large portions of words out of sentences, It's bedtime! I will check when I wake up in about 6 hours and make my character.
My only suggestion is that we are already pretty fragmented and quarrelsome as a group, so something that people won't spend their time thinking "Why am I travelling with this person?" might be a good idea.
What Ramarren said. Mikhaela is lawful good.
Ok, so Pestilence Sorceror and Lore Oracle are out of the question, the latter because of my concept. Have no fear, I shall set out to work finding a replacement!
Ok, Aasimar Sorceror (Wildblood: Empyreal)? This is a 'blaster caster' with a few extra tricks, and limited party support capabilities. Once he can take the feat where he gains wings, those monsters will quake in fear!
Not stepping on your toes Mikhaela! Just think this character would mesh well. He's one of the 'holy schemer' types, has a great vibe for Kingmaker (He's going to be a descendent of Melek-Taus, the Peacock Angel, and we all know the Peacock Lord was the Thassilonian God of Nobility,), is the right balance of mercy and judgement, and let's just face it, can blast enemies to the Nine Hells pretty easily!
Sorty for lack of post today, I'm in the middle of a working a doubleshift on my day off because more than half my department called in today...
By all means, an emperyal sorcerer sounds fine and fun! I say go for it and build it. Please use the guidelines as seen on page 1 of the recruitment page. As for intro? Well, the players are approaching a bandit camp, so prisoner is not implausible so we'll go that route. When I get home in a few hours, I'll give a more detailed 'build up' post in gameplay. Oh, and to make up your entrance being late, add an extra 30gp to equipment as you see fit, or pocket it. Not much, but it helps.
Ok, should have the character up in full by tomorrow. Posting from my phone now.
Heh, same. Tomorrow is fine, by the way.
I already have thoughts on making a slight modification to the bandit camp to account for you, so it should make things fun!
OK, have re-read the gameplay thread and am all caught up :)
Wonderful! Reread it myself just a while ago.
Oh, quick question: Who plans on multi-classing or taking a prestige class? And what class?
Alright, give me a bit, I'm transferring pdf's and notes from my netbook to my PC. Shouldn't take too long, and I'll pick up from there.
I am thinking straight fighter with taking the feat at level six for followers. Unless Ranzo goes somewhere I did not expect.
there isn't a class Orsino could truly benefit from multiclassing into, at the moment though I am wondering gm about a few new home brewed extracts for him though (since Orsino is thematically at least a monk/alchemist hybrid I'm thinking of new extracts which would allow him to mimic the hand to hand combat prowess of the monk class).
I'm willing to work with you, Orsino, though we'd have to figure out what your base class could give up, or heavily reduce, to allow you similar monk ability.
Also, almost done transferring files. Old netbook is being finicky, but is getting close to finishing the transfer.
if I could of built the mechanics of the class I wanted Orsino to be it would be something like the monk, the ki pool however would have been replaced by alchemical extracts and the like.
What I am really trying to do is keep Orsino's unarmed strikes relevant throughout the campaign, one option which presents itself is that Orsino comes up with extracts which allow him unarmed strikes to gain certain properties (unarmed strikes are cold iron/adamantine for instance).
Another option is that Orsino could gain certain monk abilities in the place of discoveries (which is what the Internal Alchemist archetype should have done but it is not quite up to the standard).
Bexer will likely stay a Summoner throughout his career, with a possible dip into Monk for a level or so if it seems appropriate. If no one else takes Leadership, he might be inclined to do so, but I'm by no means wed to the idea.
Orsino, for specialty damage, for the short term you may want to consider gloves/gauntlets, which can be made of special materials just as a weapon can.
In the long term there is the Amulet of Mighty Fists, which I suspect is an inevitable enchantment choice of your build. A +3 Amulet of Mighty Fists will give your strikes the ability to overcome Silver or Cold-Iron DR, and a pair of Adamantine gauntlets will take care of the rest.
Leadership, thats the feat I was trying to recall…
I am out sick right now. I won't be posting very much till I get better.
@Orsino: We can work to make your class and ideas work, though yes we'd have to balance it and cap the abilities somewhere.
@Moff: Aww, get well soon!
@Everyone: Okay, so we'll write Komana off as having had to go back to Brevoy on emergency. Nothing like a little retcon, huh? I may reintroduce her later as an NPC, though. And sorry for last night, fell asleep during file transfer. I did a readup though, so I'll post a bit here soon. Are you all ready for the bandits and Kressle?
Alright, I'll post up a detailed approach in a moment.
Alright, Komana is back! That said, I still would like Silver Prince in the group. Larger group means more security, right? WRONG! Expect tougher foes and more enemies. But if you can pull through, a kingdom is yours for taking!
Give me just a minute and I'll figure how to work out most everything in the AP for 7 players!
Sorry guys!! I had a mad week, without net, "without a home" - moving on -... just work! Thank Lugos for accepting me back! ^ ^
No problem Komana. I get home soon (~1hour) and will post up more info for the game.
May I present Kossuuk the White, eccentric druid! About to go post in my other campaigns and dot the gameplay thread! Let me know if there is a mistake on my character, GM, as I just had to type it fresh on my phone since I couldn't get to WiFi. I will add the backstory probably tomorrow.
Just a note for when the combat map goes up. At this point, Bexer is still mounted, and as Fidget is war-trained, I plan on making use of it...
(too bad our bandit disguises failed)
The camp is this active at 3am?
It's isn't 3 am, though it is getting late.
Also, Kossuuk, you look fine. Can't wait to see ya in action
Most excellent! Hope nobody drops dead from seeing an albino, 3-eyed Tengu who watches the surrounding bloodshed so very calmly like watching a bird fly through the air or fish swimming in a stream.
@Lugos
Look at the Thorn River Camp.
I made by Google Drive / Create / Drawing / Insert Image = Map and Icons.
Just add the bandits and move all... = ^ ^ =
*hugs Komana* Thank you! I'll be using this for future battle situations!
*Pecks at forearm until blood is drawn, then draws a Druidic glyph with bloody beak*
"A map? Who needs a map? They're all close to you: the bandits, the trees, the dead, the Fair Ones, and the terrors beyond the stars. Our world is so small, so insignificant. Step into a leyline, become one with it, and understand how limited your perspective is: all thing are adjacent, you just have to know where to look and where to step. Look over your shoulder, swordling. Nothing there, you say? Because you look at the world with both eyes closed. Believe in what makes you comfortable and find solace in your ignorance, for the world is as uncaring as you are insignificant."
-The White Raven
Though you did not mention it, I did ask to attack at about 3 am earlier in the discussion, no problem.
Did you factor in my attack on the female leader, you did not mention it.
Sorrry Ranzo, failed to calculate it in. I'll handle it via a next post.
So 2 up and fighting, 2 fleeing, 1 passed out (and one severely wounded by Komana while fleeing), is that correct?
Who's turn is it at this point?
Hey all, tonight's party night. Sorry about being silent on the boards yesterday. I'll try to post tonight but if not, I will tomorrow.
Don't worry Kossuk, you're about to be discovered here shortly.
Which experience track are we using?
We are going on the Normal track.
EDIT: This means you all have 156xp from Oleg's and 280xp from Kressle's camp for a total of 436xp right now. Only 1564xp to go until next level!
Just so I know how to react when the time comes, how rare are Tengu?
"Ah, a Tengu, interesting"
"A Tengu?!? How in the hells did you get way up here?"
"Gah! A bird-headed abomination! Get the torches!"
