Red hand of Doom (Inactive)

Game Master Nicos

Elsir Vale
Drellyn´s Ferry



I am searching for one or two more new Players to start a conversion from the 3.5 adventure Red hand of doom. There are already two other players, and posibly one more.

People interested can post their character and in 48 hour I will decide who I choose (yeah it sucks that way, but there is always some few spots for so may players :( )

================
level 5
- Core races
- No gunslingers, no summoner.
- 22 point buy, two traits
- 10,500 gp
- No big 4 items (cloak of resistance, ring of protection, amulet of natural armor andstat booster items)
- Characters based on loopholes of the rules and or chesse will have less chances to be chosen.

Some random houserules

Spoiler:
- At level 3,6,9... you have two "+1" to stats, you can not put both in the same stat
- At level 2 and every 4 levels beyond that you have a untyped +1 bonus to saves and a +1 dodge bonus to AC.
- Fighters and paladins get 4+int skill per level
- For fighters Bravery is now called resilence. It gives you a +2 bonus to saves againts a condition at level 2 and anotehr +2 every 4 levels thereafters.
The conditios are choosed form the paladin list of mercies plus the folllowing

At 3rd level
Burst effects that deals hp damage

At 6th level
touch AC agaisnt spells, SLA and supernaturals(you add the resilence bonus to the touch AC)

At 9th level
Negative energy.

- Dervish dance can be used with any one handed melee weapon (think of it as a improved weapon finesse)

================
I will not tell you what is the theme of the campaing, I think byrd already know but whatever, it is more fun if you do not know. Be an adventurer, be prepared for anything.

- Your characters are new to a region called the Elsir vale. You are a band of aventures and are here for bussiness. In a reacent dungeon incursion you found a map that points to a hauted place called "Vraath keep" and hints a hidden vault containing a great (undescribed) treasure, so here you are, searching after it.

- Your character will begingthe campaing traveling to a town called Drellins ferry, the last settlement before you enter the witchwood in search for Vraath keep.

- The campaing is more for the heroic type of PC. I will not restric the concepts but it is a published adventure there is not that much room to alter the plot.


Wow, 4+ Int Skills per day? Max ranks in no time in all skills! :)

I think that's a typo. :)

I have a Tiefling Paladin of Ragathiel who might work, but not sure if you allow the alternate tieflings (he's a Devil Spawn).

Good catch, fixed.

By the other hand "Core races".


A couple of thing I forgot to mention.

- The group of player you would join used to post several times per day,we have lost some momentum but the idea is to recover it. So, it woudl be great if you can post at least once per day for most days of the week.

- In the social aspect of the game I prefer a less "dice rolling" and more "lets talk" aproach. That does not mean Diplomacy, intimidate and bluff woudl be usseless but they certainly will be used less than usual.


Ah, missed that. I blame my wife, who came in and asked me questions about christmas decorations while I was reading. :)

Good luck and have fun!


Dotting interest with Emilian here. I'm in the process of updating him to your specifications, but in case I don't finish tonight, I wanted to at least give you an idea about him.

Emilian was a gladiator (though I will remove the Performance Combat aspect to him) who escaped the life. He's a gentle soul trapped inside a brawling, thuggish brute of a physique. Originally, I made him hoping to get into a Shattered Star game, so the part about him joining the Pathfinder Society is also easily removed (or kept if you prefer). His background and description are in the profile.

As I update and level him up, he'll be multiclassing into scout/thug rogue, and focusing on the Sap Master line of feats, which synergizes nicely with the Brawler fighter archetype.


I would like to submit an Elven Samurai (Sword Saint). Mobile Wandering swordsman type. Going to go demoralizing/ critical path. I'll write him up tonight.


Submitting Riley Tobias, a reincarnated druid. I've always wanted to try one of these. Starting at fifth level, I don't have to worry about surviving until the actual main feature of the archetype kicks in.

I'm not fully finished, since I haven't statted up my animal companion (and if you want me to kick that and go with a domain, I'm good with that), but other than that, I'm mostly there.

I've heard enough of the Red Hand of Doom that I know it can be deadly. What makes this fun is that I can be a casualty, but show back up in a day. Granted, it'll be in a new body, but I think that's part of the fun of the archetype. Who knows what I'll be next?


Definitely interested, will bring in a character soon. What party members are already present?

Not totally decided but there probably woudld be a magus and a inquisitor, maybe a ranger too.


Alright. Working on my character right now. I'm probably going to make a support-based witch.

Another question: Am I correct to assume that the stat boosts at 3,6,9, and so on replace the normal stat boosts at level 4 and up?

Do you allow alternate racial traits?

Sovereign Court

Am Posting Interest here.

Faerin Forger

Female Dwarven Paladin (Stonelord) of Torag.

Just to confirm though, What books are allowed since it's not stated and 4+int skill points per level for paladins?

Have put in some crunch but not the fluff as yet. I can post multiple times per day except maybe weekends.

Every book from paizo and yes 4+int skill point per level for paladins and fighters.

Sovereign Court

Goodie. Please review my submission and I would appreciate any feedback as to whether she'll fit into your campaign.

Am Adding in skills now.


The first thing I noted is improved stonecuning, wich seems to be a very weird and weak feat o_O


Spica Antares, Healing Witch of Desna

Here's my application. I haven't gone indepth on the equipment yet because that gets a little tedious. I'll do it if the character is picked. Please let me know if this is an issue and you'd rather I do it now, or if there are any other problems.


It is better if you do it, but there is no hurry for now.

EDIT: corrected a typo

Sovereign Court

Here:

Stats:

Str : 16 (10) [+1] 17
Dex : 14 (5) 14
Con : 13 (3) [+1] {+2} 16
Int : 12 (2) 12
Wis : 12 (2) {+2} 14
Cha : 10 (0) {-2} 8
Total 22 Point Buy
Racial Modifiers {}
Added in Level 3 Stat boost []

Improved stone Cunning. Well Mostly for fluff and because if we ever get up to that level, it scores me minor tremor sense.


Will do, then. Mind taking a look at the rest of the sheet and telling me if there are any issues?


Sorry for the double post.

Spica Antares, Healing Witch of Desna

Now has equipment up, and is pretty much ready. Please let me know if something looks wrong to you. I've got the price rundown of the purchased item if you'd like to look, I kept it out of the profile to avoid clutter.


I would like to toss a dwarven zen archer monk into the mix, if you need some ranged artillery. PC is designed to have huge saves, if that counts as cheese, let me know.

General background would be a warrior monk wandering out in the world, protecting the weak and honing his skills. One day he hopes to return to the monastery to share what he has learned and teach the next generation. (I can pad that out, if Torin gets picked.)

shopping list:

10 500gp
2000 Handy Haversack
1800 EFFICIENT QUIVER
2300 +1 Composite long bow
2500 Ring of sustenance
1000 pearl of power (1st) if there is a PC that can cast mage armour on him.

9600 gp, 400gp remaining for arrows and other miscellany

Liberty's Edge

Very interested..I will put something together (most likely a Ranger, I think) and get it posted ASAP


Sounds like great fun!

I would like to apply to the game with Karla Teg, also known sometimes as Karla the Red.

All is done I believe except equipment. I'll work on it, but I can't promise it will be ready.

I post frequently when I'm around, and always tell when I'm not.

I've taken the liberty of drawing up a list of the current applicants for our DM and his fellow players' convenience.

Martial
Emilian - Fighter/Rogue - Front Liner
Faerin Forger - Stonelord Paladin of Torag - Front Liner
Torin Ironbeard - Zen Archer - Ranged Damage Dealer

Divine
Riley Tobias - Reincarnated Druid - Front Liner / Support Caster

Arcane
Spica Antares - Witch - Healer / Support Caster

Mix
Faracil - Ranger/Sorcerer - All-Rounder

Please let me know if I've gotten something wrong. I've heard good things about Red Hand from a fellow player in my IRL tabletop group, so I'm really hoping to get a chance to try it.

No it does not. Monk have good saves, it is what nonks have.

Cheese woudl be to argument that a pistolero gains pistol training AND gun training to double dex bonus to damage, something that was clearly not inteded by the desginer.


I'd like to submit my CE Goblin Summoner for consideration. He's based around a glitch I found in the wording that allows him to be a Synthesist as well as having a full strength Eidolon. By building him completely around his Dex stat he manages to have stratospheric AC as well as unstoppable to Hit bonuses and damage output.

Just kidding.

I'm not sure what I'd like to play yet, but I'm dotting for interest. Looks like submissions are light on the full caster side of the equation, so I may look there for ideas.
