This is a high level rules light game set in a school for magical kids, kinda a mash-up of Soul Eater, Harry Potter, and X-Men. :)

Alright, Well...

I figure I'll babble my ideas here, to get a bit of feedback.

The church would be founded by what I was planning to be the dragon deciple I was making, based loosely on bishop Havel the rock, if anyone knows who that is.

"Havel" founded it more on the power that the worshippers would gain by becoming dragon shamans, instead of on ethical standards- he's kept the code vauge, and often keeps numerous things about the "religion" just as vauge, resulting in a plethora of colors among the dragon shamans- all of them believing thier interpretation of thier dragon's color to be correct- and "Havel" mediates this with even more vagueness and confusion.

"Havel" primarily founded it among dwarves, who find the extra strength useful, and often quite enjoy the fire resist offered by many dragon types.

"Havel" himself barely even follows his own religion, however, worshipping both iori and the sunwakes, believing dragons to be pysical perfection.

Sounds ok, but bear in mind if they are overt douche bags, probably won't last long.

Very much not what I'm going for.

I'm going more for the nuteral aligned self interest, not the evil "I'm more important then everyone" self interest.

Just reasonable people who are in it for the power and security.

I love the idea, personally. Like Anti-Hunters, almost.


Male Drow (noble) 14 Ranger

That sounds great then.


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

... Does it say something abut me that I'm ligitamatly suprized every time one of my ideas gets a postive reply?

Probobly.


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

Anyway, I'm curious if anyone would be interested in being one of the dragon shamans.

Not that I mind either way- it's fun to be unique, and it's fun to have company.

Also, I've got an option in mind for cultists* who don't want to take the class for it.

... Not sure if I should try and put this all to stats before I blab more, or if I should just blab more. Would one be better then the other?

*(They kinda are- not really a bad thing, though, dispite the oft assumed nature of the word.)

Out of curiosity what would the idea for people not wanting to take the class be?


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

Well, it would be based on an artifact called the dragon torso stone-

It makes one into a reptilian humanoid, much like a half drsgon- just not as good as a half dragon.

wings too small for flight, hardly any natural armor, no dr, no energy resist.

Can roar loud enough to cause creatures to stumble back, though, and gains comabt buff from that for a few rounds after.

Has a weak line fire breath weapon, that has some pysical force behind it, and can stagger things.

The stone can be used by anything, though, so despite it's "weakness" it's still a permenent effect that cultists can use, though it prevents them from taking levels in the class proper.

Shadow Lodge

Does it override racial effects like a a Dragonborn does or does it add like half dragon does
And why does it prevent access to the class?

Shadow Lodge

If he's talking about the 3.X Dragon Shaman it shouldn't, in theory. However, if he's talking about Dragon Disciple and the artifact turns you into the Dragon type then you can't ever take levels in it.


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

It adds.

It creates a new form, and grants polymorph immunity to prevent shifting out- the stone's effects don't end until death.


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

this is what I'm talking about using.

Shadow Lodge

I don't see anything in the class about not being able to take it if you aren't humanoid. Is it the artifact then? Looks like an updated Dragon Shaman.

It's the artifact.


Female awww, but that would be telling unknown

Letting the scene with Phaezeriel play out. My plan at this point is to throw out some summary posts of what happened over the course of the week this weekend, and then Monday will be the beginning of the new day. Because I don't want to go ahead and start that insanity over the weekend when I have less time to spend checking the boards. :)

And when most people seem to have extra time :P

I will end the field trip in a summary post tonight with Lang the plan was to all be teleported back to the school after the "party"


Female [Classified] Bard 16 / [classified] 16

I will also have to get together a summary of Mel trapped in the void for the time skip. just a question as to what day of the week will it be after the time skip, cause I think there is supposedly some sort of party for Dave planned for after the time skip.


Female awww, but that would be telling unknown

Planning to pick up the action again on a Friday afternoon. I was going to skip straight to Saturday, but a lot of socializing happens after classes so there is that.

Shadow Lodge

These make my head hurt.


Male Weremonkey Rogue/Ranger/Trickster

I coulda sworn Vai is back at the Sunwake home.

But Tamrin/Fei and Phaez's posts makes it sound like they're all in the school still.

Or is the Sunwake home big enough for a lab and a hallway?

Also Lyn,

Are you going to post at all for Tyrrin and FCD's halfling(whose name I do not recall) or are we going to skip the hunt for the murderer?

I kinda figured Ty might know about where to get the scrolls as she's like class president or something, right?


Female awww, but that would be telling unknown

Vai was back at the Sunwake home. And then she teleported to the lab where the others (Aananda, Tamrin, Ephebe, Andromeda, James) were still waiting.
Ephebe and Tamrin walked away from the lab, through the school, to the house, and out to the gardens before they started talking. The entrance to the house is part of the school.

And I was planning to cover that in the summaries. Yes, Tyrrin can get them access to the scrolls they need.

confused?

you won't be after tonight's episode of "THE SUNWAKES"


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

So, was looking at the dragon shaman class, and after looking at it a while, I figured that it kinda doesn't hold up to pathfinder that well.

So I was thinking that, to be more like dragons, it should have a degree of spellcasting-

Perhaps sorcerer/wizard spellcasting, that progresses at the rate of majus spellcasting.

Could just use sorcerer draconic bloodline. I believe there are feats or other ways to aquire it, though you could just go with sorcerer.

That doesn't do what dragon shaman does, or even close.

It gives you a few draconic features- dragon shaman makes you a dragon.

Maybe sorcerer spell casting at the same rate as the dragon disciple class
Or maybe bard/summoner/magus/etc level casting

I just started reading UI, and let me tell you
Some of that stuff is amazing
Other parts pointless
Much of if really good, if it weren't for the crappy prerequisites

Greater detect magic is one of the amazing parts

Hey Lyn,

Do all the Patrons have proper names like Lumos(as opposed to Light)?

If so, would it be possible when you have some spare time to update the campaign info with such names next to each champion?

Also, Magic is now playing a 2nd champion right? Freedom, I believe(I don't recall the name, but the genie).


Female awww, but that would be telling unknown

No, they don't all have alternate names, but some do. Others, like Death, just go by their title. Also, the non title names can change at the whim of the patron, often based on the temperament of their current champion. Consistency is too much to expect of them. :P
And yes Jasper is the new champion of freedom. I just finished updating the champion list just now in fact.


Female awww, but that would be telling unknown

Also, so freaking sick. :(
You do not want to know how long it takes me to compose a post right now through the insane nausea. :/
This is why I don't yet have any summaries done. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Don't worry about the board, Lyn. We'll pick it up tomorrow - stop looking at the screen and get some rest please (^-^)

How far away would those tremors be felt?


Not far - into some of the nearby hallways on that floor at most. Definitely not down on another sub-level like where the SIM rooms are located.

... Is it weird that I always imagine the place as one massive building that's basically totally flat, except when people are outside it?

A little bit since stairs have been mentioned in-game on multiple occasions. Yes, there are stairs. Most of the dorm rooms are upstairs. Classrooms are usually on the first two levels. The building is like four stories tall. Plus a couple of levels of basements. Mind you, it can be hard to keep track of it all what with things always rearranging. So it's possible that one day you could have a classroom turn up on the fourth floor and a dorm room turn up on the first floor. These things do happen.

Writing emotionally heavy scenes for someone else's character is ....weird. I'm basically just spending the whole time hoping I'm not mucking it up too bad. :)

I'll just blame it on the fever if I make too much of a mess of it. :P


Female awww, but that would be telling unknown

Today has been weird. I went to bed early last night. (Yes, I followed your excellent advice, Dalesman.) And then this morning I woke up and I could tell I was still sick. But I was also really hungry because I'd been sick to my stomach all day yesterday. So I got up and got dressed and made pancakes. Which were delicious, but predictably made my stomachache worse. And then went back to bed and didn't wake up again until four. I have a very bad feeling that I will not be able to get to sleep at all tonight. O.o

I feel your pain, Lyn - I'm getting nowhere with trying to conjure up a story-saving response to that last post...

Hm. Maybe that's the problem...

That's how I felt writing for the Sunwake characters in that story I wrote. >.>

And in the meantime, I'm going to go make a snarky stone bishop who completely doesn't suit the current mood.
