At least are the classes cool enough?
At least are the classes cool enough?
Kineticist is cool... Though victim of a few bad mechanics. I couldn't care less about the others. They are just rehashes of existing classes.
Should probably post Brock's backstory such as it is:
Brock is a representative of his clan, the Stone-singers. They have a vested interest in opening up a new route through the Desolation, and all the profit that would bring, and Brock has been sent as a capable, though expendable warrior. The Stone-singers are renowned for their strong connection to the earth, and natural Earth magic, usually utilized through a deep, resonant humming or throat singing used to manifest their powers. Like such. Except with superhuman lung capacity and endurance allowing for the chanting to be held for long periods if need be (Generally speaking, the full duration of whatever power he's using).
Personality: Brock Rudson is a Dwarf.
(TBH the Stone-singers thing is mostly an excuse for if Brock dies and I ever want to bring in another Earth Kineticist, if that's okay.)
It's ok.
Does Weapon Finesse apply to grapple attempts? You're trying to grapple with your hands, after all...
It doesn't.
D:
That's dumb... :I
Hey, would you be willing to...
A- Let me playtest this guy (you can save it in pdf form. I'm done editing it for the time being).
- Slightly reduced unarmed strike damage progression.
- No bonus feat at 1st level (other than IUS and Stunning Fist)
+ Gets 1 + 1/5 Monk level bonus to attack rolls with unarmed strikes, natural attacks and monk weapons.
+ Simpler FoB. 1 extra attack at 1st level. 2 extra attacks at 11th level. Can move and make 2 attacks.
+ Can take ki powers from the Qinggong Monk at 4th level and every 2 levels thereafter.
+ Generic "ki blast" that deals [Wis modifier + (1d6 for every 3 Monk levels)] damage of one type of element.
+ Free MoMS archetype, but can only take the 1st feats of a combat style feat chain as bonus feats before 6th level.
+ Wholeness of Body that doesn't suck (it's basically a much weaker Lay on Hands (1d6 for every 3 levels and removes the Fatigued condition. Eventually removes Exhausted as well)
+ Gets Blindsense at 18th level.
B- Let Weapon Finesse apply to Grapple attempts. ^^
Why not just take Agile Maneuvers?
Why not just take Agile Maneuvers?
Because feat taxes are the bane of my existence... (Also I already need 2 feats just to turn Dex-based builds into mediocre combatants). :/

What?
You said You already have your build ready.
I have. 3 of them. 4 if you include the Revised Monk.
¬¬
Why don't you go with one of the ones you already have done?
As a frontliner I'm sure you'll have the opportunity to try out all of them before we're done.
Have you already polished your Revised monk?

My Revised Monk build is already done as well. It's been for week, actually... All I did was add 2 levels to it. I hadn't had the chance to play it before, though.
As a frontliner I'm sure you'll have the opportunity to try out all of them before we're done.
I'd rather avoid dying.
Have you already polished your Revised monk?
I'm mostly satisfied with it... There are a few small changes I'm considering, but at very least they will not be made before I hear the feedback from a few players I know who are playing Revised Monks... And those games will still go on for at least a few months.
Unless they find something really broken, there are no plans to change anything anywhere in the near future.
Besides, I saved the current version as a pdf document, so even if I do change anything, it won't apply to this game.
*metaphorically punching everyone of you*
Why me? I'm ready to rock!
Just waiting on Lemmy and Scavion to get off their lazy butts. Or really, just Lemmy. Pretty sure Scavion is done.
I literally have 4 characters done.
One is the Monk I mentioned. Another is a 2-handed Fighter. The 3rd one is a Paragon Fighter. And the last one is... Also a 2-handed Fighter... But using a reach weapon.
well, post your pcs.
Pick one, then. =p
I have dibs on the Revised Fighter Lemmy =P
Aedric Lionheart is a Fauchard wielding Warlord seeking a lost heirloom to prove to his family his right to his inheritance since he's the bastard son of the head of the house and an elven prostitute. Normally it wouldn't be an issue because he's the only heir, but his father hates him.
Also I'm interested in taking Leadership to set up an encampment as a staging area for the party's travels.
I have dibs on the Revised Fighter Lemmy =P
You have dibs on Revised WARLORD Fighter... And you cheated! XD
Also, what combat style are you using?
Reach Weapon
I hate you more and more... -.-'
Can I play the Monk, Nicos?
Also I'm interested in taking Leadership to set up an encampment as a staging area for the party's travels.
There already is a settlement for that, and besides special mounts no leadership.
Ok, you can play your monk, but no dex to grapple. And I can't see rynjins character sheet.
That's because the character sheet that was there has been deleted (the Brock Rudson alias used to be Armand Elric, from Scavion's game). Should be updated now.
I hate you more and more... -.-'
It's your fault for making the option seem so cool.
There already is a settlement for that, and besides special mounts no leadership.
Fair enough.
But I want to supplex people... :(
Use str or take the feat.
btw, there is some randomness in the campaign, there is a shop and all that but better to not be dependent in any combination of magic items.
There already is a settlement for that, and besides special mounts no leadership.Fair enough.
Grab War Rider and Blessed War Rider for that. ;)
So, how kinetic blast works?, it is like the 3.5 warlock?

Aren't those, like horrible feats?
So, how kinetic blast works?, it is like the 3.5 warlock?
The low-down:
I can spam the regular Blast an unlimited number of times per day.
Using Metakinesis (Metamagic) costs Burn. 1 Burn for Empower right now, which I can use Gather Power as a Move to get rid of.
Any special effects I want to use also use Burn, though Infusions can be mitigated by Infusion Specialization and Gather Power in conjunction to reduce the Burn cost, potentially to 0.
Every point of Burn deals 7 nonlethal damage to me. This nonlethal damage cannot be cured without resting by any means up to and including deific intervention, because Mark f%&@ed up and people during the playtest encouraged him to keep doing so. I can take an amount of Burn up to 3+Con (8 points), but that is NEVER going to happen because I plan to never take Burn beyond what is required to max out my Elemental overflow bonuses every day. So every day at the start of the day I'm going to burn some Burn on DR 6/Adamantine, and that'll be that unless somehow our very survival relies on me taking more.
Aren't those, like horrible feats?Grab War Rider and Blessed War Rider for that. ;)There already is a settlement for that, and besides special mounts no leadership.Fair enough.
I hope not... They give you a horse that can see in the dark, ignore difficult errain, walk on water and, eventually, fly. :P
Hmmm... Let me just see what feat to sacrifice for agile maneuvers... Gods, I hate feat taxes... -.-'
Don't suppose I could switch the half-elf Skill Focus for Agile feattax?
no.
F~*! it. I'm making her an Aasimar.
Elune is trained as a Silent Shadow. A league of spies and assassins that takes a vow of silence once they learn their training, being only allowed to use non-verbal communication, except in very rare occasions... Usually once they finish a very important task or on the one holiday their order celebrates...
Elune is currently working for... Someone. She's tasked with... Something.
I'll add her background story soon.
