Righteous, Redeemed or Ruined - A Wrath of Righteousness PBP

Game Master GM Idyll


1 to 50 of 65 << first < prev | 1 | 2 | next > last >>

Hello, everyone and congratulations on being selected for this adventure. If you haven't already, please complete your character sheets using the character creation criteria below.

Character Creation Guidelines

1) 15-Point Buy, 1st Level

2) Choose two traits. One must be a campaign trait.
 Keep in mind that your trait ties into your mythic background.
3) Max HP at first level

4) Max starting gold for your class

If you use Hero Lab, I'd love it if you sent me your .por files. Just shoot me a PM with a link to download it (if you use Dropbox or a similar service) or for my email address.

Finally, please put the following in your character profile under the "Race" field: Race and Class (archetype if any) (Armor Class / Hit Points / Saving Throws / Initiative / Perception)

How We'll Play
I like to have fun and err on the side of fun over rules. This is usually in your favor, so if you show creativity, we may be able to avoid a dreaded dice roll (the dice roller on this board often hates my players).

I will roll initiative and use your passive perception for you when necessary. This speeds up the game considerably. If you wish to make an active perception check, please state so and roll the dice. If I don't want to use your roll, I will simply reject it.

As for handling initiative, to start, I'd like to just use individual initiative. If we find that the combat portions of the game are moving too slowly, we'll adjust.

When doing a skill check, go ahead and state what skill you're using and roll the dice. Again, I might reject your roll if it is unnecessary, but it speeds thing up if I don't have to ask for it.

Let me know if you have any questions and when your character sheet is ready for review.

I'm looking forward to getting started!

Dotting. Thanks for picking me, GM I! I'll get my profile together over the next day or so--commitment tonight I can't get out of.


Female human (Keleshite) cleric of Sarenrae 2 | HP 18/18| AC 15, touch 10, flatfooted 15 | Perception +4, Sense Motive +7 | Fort +4, Ref +0, Will +7 | CMB +2, CMD 12 | Init +0

Aye, thanks for the selection! I'll complete my character profile tomorrow, and will also come up with a physical description.


Male Human (Ulfen) Cavalier (Honor Guard) 3 (Order of the Dragon) | AC 20, T 12, FF 18| HP 29/29| F +4, R +3, W +1 (+2 vs emotion effects) | CMD 19 | Init +2| Perc +6 | SM +0| Dragon's Challenge 1/1 | Tactician 1/1

Checking in before I go to work. I'll get to work on tweaking stuff when I get home in 8-9 hours.


Human Bard; AC: 16, 10, 16; HP: 7; F: -1, R: +2, W: +4; Init: +4; Percep: +6

Well...my mouse is broken, so I'm trying to use my keyboard to navigate everything right now...it's unpleasant. I'll pick up a new mouse tomorrow, but for the meantime, just know that I'm here and I'll be ready to go ASAP.


Male Human (Ulfen) Cavalier (Honor Guard) 3 (Order of the Dragon) | AC 20, T 12, FF 18| HP 29/29| F +4, R +3, W +1 (+2 vs emotion effects) | CMD 19 | Init +2| Perc +6 | SM +0| Dragon's Challenge 1/1 | Tactician 1/1

Alright, GM. Everything should be in order now. The point buy was right, I only had to change the wealth. I upgraded Jens' armour from scale to chainmail, and Alfsigr's from padded to leather. I'm ready to go when everyone else is!


Elf Gestalt Abjurer Wizard|Unchained Rogue 1/AC17*|T16*|FF14* w/mage armor/HP 9/9/F:+1|R:+5|W:+4 (+2 vs. enchantments)/Init +5/Perc +8/+10/+13/SM +6/+8

I had most of his profile entered and the boards ate it. Will have to try again after I get some work done.


Glad to see everyone's checked in - I've invited one more, so he'll be checking in soon if he decides to join us.


Male Aasimar Paladin 1 (Divine Defender), AC 17, Init +0, F+4, R+0, W+1, HP 11/11 BAB +5

And here I am. I'll update my profile with the 15-pt. version as soon as I get home later tonight.


Male Human (Ulfen) Cavalier (Honor Guard) 3 (Order of the Dragon) | AC 20, T 12, FF 18| HP 29/29| F +4, R +3, W +1 (+2 vs emotion effects) | CMD 19 | Init +2| Perc +6 | SM +0| Dragon's Challenge 1/1 | Tactician 1/1

Honor guard cavalier, and divine defender paladin... Hope we don't overlap too much :/


Human Bard; AC: 16, 10, 16; HP: 7; F: -1, R: +2, W: +4; Init: +4; Percep: +6

Did you ever make a final call on drawbacks? Isaac has one, but it fits thematically, as does the extra trait.


The two are fairly different. You two will just need to coordinate hitting things hard and protecting your allies - you're the two heavy hitters of the group, but you're also both dedicated to defending. I think it will be an interesting dynamic.


Oh, sorry. I forgot about drawbacks. I'm fine with them. I'll also be applying some additional mechanical "drawbacks" based on low attributes once everyone has their characters finished.


Male Human (Ulfen) Cavalier (Honor Guard) 3 (Order of the Dragon) | AC 20, T 12, FF 18| HP 29/29| F +4, R +3, W +1 (+2 vs emotion effects) | CMD 19 | Init +2| Perc +6 | SM +0| Dragon's Challenge 1/1 | Tactician 1/1

If you want dynamics, Jens is in his mid forties, and used to be a devoted husband and father until he lost everything. Suryani and Michael are young enough to be his children. Now THAT is a dynamic I look forward to playing up (assuming the other players are comfortable with it).


Right on. Like I said, my mouse is shot, so I'm doing what I can without. It will probably be tomorrow before I get Isaac all the way finished.


@Jens - Isaac is 45, IIRC. These whippersnappers better get off our lawns!


Male Human (Ulfen) Cavalier (Honor Guard) 3 (Order of the Dragon) | AC 20, T 12, FF 18| HP 29/29| F +4, R +3, W +1 (+2 vs emotion effects) | CMD 19 | Init +2| Perc +6 | SM +0| Dragon's Challenge 1/1 | Tactician 1/1

Woo! Go the old bastards brigade!


Elf Gestalt Abjurer Wizard|Unchained Rogue 1/AC17*|T16*|FF14* w/mage armor/HP 9/9/F:+1|R:+5|W:+4 (+2 vs. enchantments)/Init +5/Perc +8/+10/+13/SM +6/+8

Melchesiech is about 150, but that doesn't count because he's an elf.


Male Human (Ulfen) Cavalier (Honor Guard) 3 (Order of the Dragon) | AC 20, T 12, FF 18| HP 29/29| F +4, R +3, W +1 (+2 vs emotion effects) | CMD 19 | Init +2| Perc +6 | SM +0| Dragon's Challenge 1/1 | Tactician 1/1

In terms of relative maturity, that's what, about 20-25?


Elf Gestalt Abjurer Wizard|Unchained Rogue 1/AC17*|T16*|FF14* w/mage armor/HP 9/9/F:+1|R:+5|W:+4 (+2 vs. enchantments)/Init +5/Perc +8/+10/+13/SM +6/+8

Something like that.


Male Human (Ulfen) Cavalier (Honor Guard) 3 (Order of the Dragon) | AC 20, T 12, FF 18| HP 29/29| F +4, R +3, W +1 (+2 vs emotion effects) | CMD 19 | Init +2| Perc +6 | SM +0| Dragon's Challenge 1/1 | Tactician 1/1

It gets confusing. I'm playing a gnome in a home game, and she keeps reminding the party that she's twice their age, yet she acts the youngest out of any of them. Doesn't help that she has 8 wisdom and is a bit of a pyromaniac...


Elf Gestalt Abjurer Wizard|Unchained Rogue 1/AC17*|T16*|FF14* w/mage armor/HP 9/9/F:+1|R:+5|W:+4 (+2 vs. enchantments)/Init +5/Perc +8/+10/+13/SM +6/+8

I've got Melchesiech's profile taken care of; the only thing I need to do now is get his gear together.


Female human (Keleshite) cleric of Sarenrae 2 | HP 18/18| AC 15, touch 10, flatfooted 15 | Perception +4, Sense Motive +7 | Fort +4, Ref +0, Will +7 | CMB +2, CMD 12 | Init +0

And Suryani is a 20 year old shy girl who's spent all of her (short) life looking up to her older brother and who certainly doesn't feel like any sort of hero.

This should be interesting :-)


Female human (Keleshite) cleric of Sarenrae 2 | HP 18/18| AC 15, touch 10, flatfooted 15 | Perception +4, Sense Motive +7 | Fort +4, Ref +0, Will +7 | CMB +2, CMD 12 | Init +0

Anyway, my profile should be all done, I've also added a short physical description.

Another question: how closely are we gonna be tracking encumbrance? With her gear and a 25 lb armor I think Suryani might already be close to hitting medium encumbrance.


We'll play encumbrance per the rules - but I'll try not to be a jerk about it. After I get everyone into Hero Lab, I'll see how many of you are at or above Medium encumbrance and make a determination of how best to proceed.


Female human (Keleshite) cleric of Sarenrae 2 | HP 18/18| AC 15, touch 10, flatfooted 15 | Perception +4, Sense Motive +7 | Fort +4, Ref +0, Will +7 | CMB +2, CMD 12 | Init +0

I'll send you a Dropbox link to her hero lab file tomorrow.


Male Human (Ulfen) Cavalier (Honor Guard) 3 (Order of the Dragon) | AC 20, T 12, FF 18| HP 29/29| F +4, R +3, W +1 (+2 vs emotion effects) | CMD 19 | Init +2| Perc +6 | SM +0| Dragon's Challenge 1/1 | Tactician 1/1

Jens is at medium encumberance, and I can't think of anything to leave behind. His weapons and armour put him there, pretty much.

Suryani, how do you feel about a gruff old father figure watching your back? :P


Elf Gestalt Abjurer Wizard|Unchained Rogue 1/AC17*|T16*|FF14* w/mage armor/HP 9/9/F:+1|R:+5|W:+4 (+2 vs. enchantments)/Init +5/Perc +8/+10/+13/SM +6/+8

I don't have a copy of HeroLab at the moment--is that going to be an issue?


Female human (Keleshite) cleric of Sarenrae 2 | HP 18/18| AC 15, touch 10, flatfooted 15 | Perception +4, Sense Motive +7 | Fort +4, Ref +0, Will +7 | CMB +2, CMD 12 | Init +0

Naw, any one of us can probably easily create a file of your character if so needed.

[ooc]Profile updated to match the hero lab build.[/ooc[


Elf Gestalt Abjurer Wizard|Unchained Rogue 1/AC17*|T16*|FF14* w/mage armor/HP 9/9/F:+1|R:+5|W:+4 (+2 vs. enchantments)/Init +5/Perc +8/+10/+13/SM +6/+8

Thanks, Suryani. I'll get HL one of these days, I'm sure.

ETA: I've got him equipped. With his backpack he's carrying a Medium load, without it he's Light.


As Sur said, Mel, not having Hero Lab is fine. If one of your fellow players wants to build your .por, that'd be appreciated, but I was going to anyway. I just do that so I can quickly and easily review the crunch without having to do any math or heavy-lifting.

So I've reviewed Jen and Michael's characters - anyone else ready for me to take a gander at their profile and is anyone willing to create Mel's character in Hero Lab?


Elf Gestalt Abjurer Wizard|Unchained Rogue 1/AC17*|T16*|FF14* w/mage armor/HP 9/9/F:+1|R:+5|W:+4 (+2 vs. enchantments)/Init +5/Perc +8/+10/+13/SM +6/+8

I think I'm ready.


Female human (Keleshite) cleric of Sarenrae 2 | HP 18/18| AC 15, touch 10, flatfooted 15 | Perception +4, Sense Motive +7 | Fort +4, Ref +0, Will +7 | CMB +2, CMD 12 | Init +0

Melchesiech.por
Suryani Chaitanya.por

Suryani is at medium encumbrance with her backpack, light without.


Elf Gestalt Abjurer Wizard|Unchained Rogue 1/AC17*|T16*|FF14* w/mage armor/HP 9/9/F:+1|R:+5|W:+4 (+2 vs. enchantments)/Init +5/Perc +8/+10/+13/SM +6/+8

Thank you much!


Human Bard; AC: 16, 10, 16; HP: 7; F: -1, R: +2, W: +4; Init: +4; Percep: +6

Alright, I think I'm ready, as well. Thanks for your patience.


Thanks for doing those, Sur. Feel like doing one more? :) If not, I can do it, I just won't be able to get to it till Sunday, probably.

Along those lines, everyone have a good, restful weekend - we'll get the game kicked off early next week!

Cheers.

Sure, what character?


Male Human (Ulfen) Cavalier (Honor Guard) 3 (Order of the Dragon) | AC 20, T 12, FF 18| HP 29/29| F +4, R +3, W +1 (+2 vs emotion effects) | CMD 19 | Init +2| Perc +6 | SM +0| Dragon's Challenge 1/1 | Tactician 1/1

I'm ready to start - assuming everything's in order with my character?


Human Bard; AC: 16, 10, 16; HP: 7; F: -1, R: +2, W: +4; Init: +4; Percep: +6

So, I'm looking for connections to other characters for Isaac. He would know of Cerenae name from his father and brothers and his brief stint in the fourth crusade. Any other potential bites?


Elf Gestalt Abjurer Wizard|Unchained Rogue 1/AC17*|T16*|FF14* w/mage armor/HP 9/9/F:+1|R:+5|W:+4 (+2 vs. enchantments)/Init +5/Perc +8/+10/+13/SM +6/+8

Melchesiech and Isaac may know each other since they're both scholars, of a sort.


Male Human (Ulfen) Cavalier (Honor Guard) 3 (Order of the Dragon) | AC 20, T 12, FF 18| HP 29/29| F +4, R +3, W +1 (+2 vs emotion effects) | CMD 19 | Init +2| Perc +6 | SM +0| Dragon's Challenge 1/1 | Tactician 1/1

Jens has been travelling the Inner Sea as a mercenary for just under 30 years, and spent about 15 of those (roughly in the middle) breeding horses for the soldiers of Mendev. Would anyone have potentially met him?


Human Bard; AC: 16, 10, 16; HP: 7; F: -1, R: +2, W: +4; Init: +4; Percep: +6

Filled out a bit more of Isaac's personality to give you a better idea of who he is. The biggest source of conflict with Isaac will likely be his initial unwillingness to forgive any demon-related enemy. This is an attribute that will experience growth as we progress.


Male Aasimar Paladin 1 (Divine Defender), AC 17, Init +0, F+4, R+0, W+1, HP 11/11 BAB +5

Isaac, GM:
Fair warning, Isaac: As explained in his background, Michael has had to put up with a lot of people giving him crap because of his father, and he's developed a fairly robust and effective way of dealing with it by simply ignoring them as much as possible.

So if Isaac starts off by making assertions or accusations, he's going to find himself very deliberately and obviously ignored until and unless he keeps it up to the point where Michael loses his temper, which would be bad...


Male Human (Ulfen) Cavalier (Honor Guard) 3 (Order of the Dragon) | AC 20, T 12, FF 18| HP 29/29| F +4, R +3, W +1 (+2 vs emotion effects) | CMD 19 | Init +2| Perc +6 | SM +0| Dragon's Challenge 1/1 | Tactician 1/1

Michael, Suryani: upon realizing how young you both are, Jens will probably start acting strangely. He'll come off as patronising in combat, telling you to stay back and let him handle things. He's old enough to be your father, and he'll probably act as such - he's lost his children to demons, after all, and would hate to see the same fate befall you, as the party bonds. It's a dynamic I had in mind when building him, and one I'd like to play up, if you're comfortable with that. Thoughts?


Female human (Keleshite) cleric of Sarenrae 2 | HP 18/18| AC 15, touch 10, flatfooted 15 | Perception +4, Sense Motive +7 | Fort +4, Ref +0, Will +7 | CMB +2, CMD 12 | Init +0

That's fine with me. I see Suryani as a slightly insecure young woman, who hasn't yet come into her own regarding her abilities.


Male Human (Ulfen) Cavalier (Honor Guard) 3 (Order of the Dragon) | AC 20, T 12, FF 18| HP 29/29| F +4, R +3, W +1 (+2 vs emotion effects) | CMD 19 | Init +2| Perc +6 | SM +0| Dragon's Challenge 1/1 | Tactician 1/1

Glad you're cool with it. Could be fun. Suryani will eventually have a fatherly type encouraging her to take pride in her actions, and display some confidence once in a while. I see Jens as a protective fatherly type, quick to take young'uns under his wing, but he'll probably just come across as patronizing for a while.


Human Bard; AC: 16, 10, 16; HP: 7; F: -1, R: +2, W: +4; Init: +4; Percep: +6

No, worries, Michael. Isaac may be lawful good, but he's no paladin. He upholds the law, but doesn't have much in the way of a code of honor. If Michael fights demons, we're all still friends, no matter what your family has done. After all, one of Isaac's goals is to finish off his corrupt family.


Male Aasimar Paladin 1 (Divine Defender), AC 17, Init +0, F+4, R+0, W+1, HP 11/11 BAB +5

So... Are we good to go?


Human Bard; AC: 16, 10, 16; HP: 7; F: -1, R: +2, W: +4; Init: +4; Percep: +6

I'm ready! And psyched! I wanna slay some fools!
