Legendary Planet - Goblins in Spaaaace!!! (Inactive)

Game Master Zesdead

Alright, hello everyone! I'm Blekk, I'm the new guy from the recruitment thread. Really looking forward to playing with you guys! Probably going to be getting the Xenobiologist trait, as the Experiment one doesn't *quite* fit for my backstory.

Also, are you guys cool with another melee guy? Looks like we've got a few guys there already as it is, so I figure that just means more flanking partners for me to sneak attack with. But alchemists are pretty versatile, if you guys want I can quickly respec and go more ranged.

Maybe go with melee for the most part, and sliding into range when we need it?

I'm actually not sure which trait would really fit Biggun. Right now I'm thinking about going with Resilient Peculiarity for the Will save bonus.

Welcome aboard, Blekk! I think between you, Biggun, Relas and maybe Glob we should have good flexibility to cover melee and ranged as needed. I might actually revamp Relas at our next level up; will need to check the evolutions list and see what direction I might want to go with him :)

Hello to new guy.

I suggest going the direction that lets you heal some, because we* really need it.

Thanks for the welcome! Right now I'm specced for natural attacks in melee (Feral Mutagen FTW), and I picked up a sling as well-no bombs, sadly.

And Biggun, you'll be pleased to know that I have Brew Potion as a feat, as well as Cure Light Wounds in Blekk's Book o'Alkmy. So if we have 2 hours to spare and 25 GP, you'll be able to just keep on truckin. Or we can shove the potion down your unconscious throat. Whatever you want.

I think you need to craft him a potion hat, so he can just suck on them continiously...

Glob will be going for Xenobiologist; it is henceforth canon that he loves looking at the picture books with all sorts of creatures inside of them. Even the ones with aliens.

Also, welcome new person!

EDIT: GM, I noticed that we've now each got 3 Hero Points. Does that mean we're now officially level 3? :D

Dear GM,

Solie would like to know if Solie can reflavor the Principle of the Stars trait to be under a clear daytime sky. Because the Sun is a star and Solie wants the sun. In particular, Solie wants to use the sun to punish other people.

Please please please.

Love Solie

EDIT: GM, I noticed that we've now each got 3 Hero Points. Does that mean we're now officially level 3? :D

Sorry, the Hero Point was for successfully exploding Vuelib and completing the prelude adventure - you are still Level 2 for now...

Solie would like to know if Solie can reflavor the Principle of the Stars trait to be under a clear daytime sky. Because the Sun is a star and Solie wants the sun. In particular, Solie wants to use the sun to punish other people.

Sure, re-flavour that one... Although I'm giving no promises as to which sun it will be!!!

Blekk - welcome to the game!!! Feel free to go ahead and select a Campaign Trait now (note that Stranger in a Strange Land is not available ).

Actually, on second thought I'm going to take Experiment #14073 as my trait. Extra move speed can come in handy, even if it's super situational. If it's okay, I'd like my number to be 24601, for...reasons.

Also, I was going through my char sheet and I don't think I ever put my favored class bonuses in for levels 1 and 2 for some reason-so I put them both into HP. I have 17 now, just wanted to make sure that gets updated.

Blekk, if you want to be a different experiment number then that's fine with me!!!

Just waiting on one more from Biggun, Globlob or Ravboom to dot before moving us onwards...

Sorry for not posting yesterday. We're trying to get a day ahead at work so we don't have to work on Memorial Day, and when I got home yesterday I was sick so basically just ate and went to bed.

Updated.

...and here is a lovely bit of inspiration - the cover illustration for the eventual Legendary Planet Adventure Path Compendium... Enjoy!!! ...although, not a goblin in sight anywhere - booooo!!!!!!

No goblins, but I do see Solie!

Solieeeeee! :D

For info, I'm on holiday from tomorrow through to the weekend - I very much doubt I will be able to post anything whilst I am away (no wi-fi, boooo!!!!) so we may experience a momentary lull...

No worries Zed, have a good holiday and thanks for the update!

Also, I hope all the US folks had a good holiday weekend and that everyone else also had a good weekend! And/or a good PaizoCon if you got to go or spent the weekend following the updates :)

Have a great holiday, Zed!

Also-who's excited for Starfinder? Palo, saw you giving us a shoutout in one of the threads :P

...apologies for leaving you on a little bit of a cliff-hanger - who is this woman? why are the bha-gra unconscious? will Biggun just smash everything with his chain now he has it once more? All, and much more, will be revealed in a few days time....

Biggun SMASH!

Your GM has returned... rested and with evil plans brimming from his handy haversack (TM)!!! Normal posting service shall be resumed upon the morrow!!!

Huzzah! Welcome back :D

Great to hear, hope you had a good holiday!

Oooh oooh oooh idea! If/when Biggun dies, I have a link to a Clap-Trap custom race! Can I make one of those as my next character?! Please?! I could open all sorts of doors!!

It's a bit late, but if there are any dads here among us then I hope you had a great Father's Day :)

I keep having this image in my head of Biggun picking up one of the rifles and accidentally shooting his eye out. Realistically speaking, what would the penalties be for only having one eye? You know, just in case something happens... =-O

According to d20pfsrd, having one eye gives an extra -1 penalty per range increment when making ranged attacks. Which isn't actually all that horrible, all things considered.

Especially since I'm strictly a melee build. Now I kinda want to play that out lol

Just wanted to say Happy 4th (if you're in the US) and Happy Monday (if you're the rest of the world)! :)

@GM: Hey, if I remember correctly, you said that, if one of ua dies or you get a new player now that we're in space, you might be open to allowing some 3pp content into the game. I found a 3pp class, by Legendary Games, called Deadeye Hexer. It's a hybrid class fusing Gunslinger and Witch, and has the ability to add hexes to his bullets. Just wondering if you'd allow it if/when Biggun finds/does something he can't survive.

Any idea on when we'll get our next level?

You folks will level when you escape from the place that you have been imprisoned in... With a good rate of posting, that's somewhere between one to two months from now (estimated)... For info, the other LP group (who have been around a month ahead of you) are quite close to escape.

Some things for you to ponder... When you level, you will also get a Mythic Tier so it's worth thinking about that now as well.

...and Biggun, I think that (to a certain degree) I have stated I'd be comfortable with custom races - but funky 3pp classes may be a step too far!!! It's not a 'No' but is isn't a deffo 'Yes' either...

And finally - still waiting on actions from Ravboom, Solie and Blekk.

Just thought the class would be interesting, but probably wouldn't fit in with this crowd. As for the race, I could send you a link if you want.

Also, didn't realize this would be a mythic campaign. Do you have any houserules for various abilities/feats? A lot of pbp GMs seem to do that to keep people from getting too overpowered.

From what I've seen/read about the AP it sounds like it's mythic on a more limited scale than anything like Wrath of the Righteous. Maybe just a couple of tiers? That should be much more manageable for the GM and everyone else if that's the case.

Good to know that it'll happen relatively 'soon' though - guess I'll need to start having a think about what ability/feat to take (path would be Archmage obviously)!

Champion path for me, and my 3rd level feat is replaced with the Barbarian VMC Rage ability.

...the developers have suggested that it will be limited to four tiers to stop things getting too wacky!!! And also some of the mythic abilities will be replaced with ones that are specific to the adventure (and are presumably more moderate in their power level). In terms of houserules, I am sure we will implement some - the Legendary Games Mythic Heroes Handbook does provide a list of 'troublesome' mythic rules and proposes 'fixes' for them - as and when they come up, we'll discuss.

Sounds good to me! Looking forward to trying some mythic on a more appropriate and less 'gonzo' scale :)

So, it looks like I may not be making it out of this. I'd like to leave all of my worldly goods to Relas, as he looks like a panther-spirit-thingy that needs more stuff.

So, if I really do perish in this encounter, what kind of character do you think we'd need? I'm actually thinking about making a defensive-martial build, focusing on using heavy armor and shields. Either that or a good healer.

I feel bad that Biggun keeps eating floor in every combat :(

Well, turns out that his build doesn't get really good until he starts offsetting his penalty to attack with large weapons. That, and he's basically a berserker-style attacker and his defenses aren't quite up to snuff for that type of combat just yet. Lord knows I love the character, though, so if he does die, I'm definitely gonna try to get him into another campaign.

so.... it isn't looking good for our out-sized goblin right now!!! Don't go forgetting that he has a few Hero Points up his sleeve though...

...but dependent on party actions, etc, we could be up for a character re-roll quite soon!!! I love the character to but, tbh, jumping down the lift shaft and then standing tall in the face of an onrushing insect beast that is four times your size... well, let's just call it natural selection!!!

Honestly, if I was playing pretty much any other character, I'd probably have played that a bit smarter. (Really should have checked how far down the rabbit hole went...)

Do have a couple ideas to run past you all. First idea is making a healer character. Thinking either cleric (obvious) or shaman with the Life spirit. Shaman sounds like it would fit in better than a cleric.

Other idea is a kensai magus, who will focus on mobility in combat, constantly moving around and stuff.

Hmm...I guess at this point the relevant question is this: would you rather 'swap' Biggun for a new PC? Honestly, if that would make the game more fun for you then I'd say go for it. I'd definitely miss Biggun but if you're not having as much fun with the game/character as you'd like, I'd rather see you switch to something you think you'll enjoy more.

Of course that's just my opinion as a player; it's largely up to you and Zed and the RNG on how things shake out in the end :)

I love Biggun, but now that we're advancing a bit more into the story, I'm not quite sure that he would really work well. And unfortunately, with the way my rolls have been lately I'm not sure that, even using a hero point, he'd survive this without one of you reaching them and pulling him down.

At least we're in a decent spot to introduce somebody new. Who knows who might be lurking in one of the pods?

Cleric/Shaman could be cool, I've never played a Shaman myself but I've heard that they can be downright overpowered. And Clerics are always great. I once played a Strix cleric of Gorum, he flew around with a greatsword and out-DPS'ed the barbarian. Didn't do much cleric-y stuff, if I remember correctly though. He kind of had the philosophy of "you wouldn't have needed the healing if you had killed the monster faster, so therefore you get nothing." I miss that guy.

Shaman are fun, though the first few levels are kinda like playing a cleric with some druid spells smooshed into the spell list. Once you get to 4th level and gain access to Wandering Spirit they open up quite a bit and become a lot more versatile. I've got two in active PbP play at the moment and I'm enjoying both of them. Plus as a shaman, you get a cool familiar if you like familiars!

So, who wants to play with a small sasquatch? Thinking about making that a shaman with the life spirit as a sort of tribal healer that got taken.

Darn, over the weekend Paizo did yet another of their famous erratas-this time for the alchemist's tumor familiar. They said that you can't take Improved Familiar with it, which sucks. I was thinking of doing that, some of the options for it are super fun-faerie dragons that cast sorcerer spells, devils that do all sorts of funny things, stuff like that. Ah well. Probably still going to take the tumor familiar discovery-it's still fairly good. Just kinda sucks when a wrench is thrown in your plans, you know?
