The Blood Knives (Inactive)

Game Master Monkeygod

I would guess that the holiday season has managed to squelch any immediate revival, but I'm hopeful that we will continue come January.

Yea, my job was nuts with the holidays. Also, we still need Kedrick to chime in. I think I'll shoot her a PM

I'm in and good with anything

Nice. Thanks.

I am going to attempt to find a 4th player.

If that fails, I think we'll go gestalt. I like mythic, but I'd rather not use an incomplete set of rules just yet.

Iovanna plays with me in another game and is awesome. Do you want me to ask her?

Where can I find the Gestalt rules? I am certainly looking forward to progressing.

Iovanna is supposed to be in the this game, but seems to have dropped out, probably due to the slow nature of the game. If you can get her back, that would rock.

Gestalt

Just in case.

Oh, right. I'm dumb.

The Blood Knives each grant you a +2 profane increase to whichever bonus skill you chose at character creation. It also grants a +1 to Initiative.

Excuse my ignorance, but I am new to this approach. So, do we just pick two classes at fouth level now when levelling?

Do you want us to keep the same base class? Personality? Or a completely new character? Gestalt starting at 4th or from the start? (4/4 or 4/1)?

Can we redo our ability scores?

Gestalt works as follows:

Pick two classes. You gain the best benefits of each, whenever you level.

Ex: Fighter/Wizard would gain the Fighter's BAB, HD and Fort Save, and the Wizard's Will save each level. You would also gain all of the class features of each.

I am unsure about if you will be 4/4 or 4/1. Keep everything more or less the same. I would not suggest picking a 2nd class that causes you to alter your character's personality or ability scores overly much if at all.

Before redoing your character, let me know what class(es) you are thinking of gestalting with, so I can assist as best I can.

It looks like oracle of dark tapestry would be the perfect gestalt for my current sorcerer! I'll roll him up as 4/4 and let you assist. It even fits my original deity lol

I'm already multi-classed; the gestalt option for me is pretty obvious. Rogue/Cleric.

Kedrick, that's a mighty impressive Perception score ;)

Thanks! I may switch up my classes.

I am going to Gestalt Fighter (Two Handed Fighter)/Rogue (Thug). Let me know if I should be 4/4 or 4/1, and I will build accordingly.

Kedrick, you're perception on your header says its +112.

Can I see the math break down for that?? :)

<waves his hand in front of VOA>

These are not the numbers you are looking for.

I am sorry, but I have decided to pass on the continuation of this thread. I am not a fan of Gestalt. Enjoy all, it has been a pleasure.

I have not had any luck getting someone to join. Have any of you?

@GM VOA: Is this dead or are you still planning to move it forward? If you are killing it, please be sure to take it off the boards.

I think its dead. I'll leave it up for a few more days. If the others still want to continue and we can get a fourth, then we can move forward. Otherwise, I shall lay it to rest. Anybody personally know somebody they might be able to get to join us?

But if we do go on, it will not be using gestalt. I'd rather not loose Ragar as well, so we will stay non gestalt, though at 4th level still.

I admit that I'm not really sure what's been going on. In any event, I'm still here, still willing to continue, and will start trying to recruit amongst some friends.

Yeah...if we cannot get someone, we may be done. have it it Rupert...I had no luck.

I've got a candidate. He should be making contact shortly.

GM VOA: Do we need more than one more? I am ready and I believe Kedrick is still in. Can you continue with four?

We can absolutely continue with four. If we feel we need a fifth, we can always look for one after the game picks up again.

I'm here.

Rupert, any update on your possible candidate?

I'm surprised he hasn't made contact by now. I'll try to hurry him along; he may just be trying to think of a character concept.

If that's the case, have him post in here and we can discuss a concept together.

Thankfully, I very much do exist. I've been asked by a devout friend to make an appearance here, as you need a player. I've been told the campaign is Roleplay heavy, set in a city and involves a bit of thievery or investigation, either way I've rolled up a character with stats already, level 3 as is required. Now all the character needs as far as I know is a reason to be involved, and I was hoping the DM could help me out with that.

Actually you guys leveled to four, so toss another level on top of what you currently have.

Next, did you see the rules in the recruitment thread? Nothing crazy, but let me know what your bonus RP feat is, as well as what your extra skill chosen was. I think those were the only house rules I used.

Finally, I need you to answer the three questions I asked of everybody else. Don't recall if it was in the OP on the recruit thread or if it was a bit further down, but those are important.

So we have:
Fighter
Rogue/cleric
Rogue/fighter
Sorcerer

Two-Fisted has taken his fourth level of fighter - Assassin Prestige Class at next level. Rolling for HP.

1d10 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 1 = 10

HP: 1d6 ⇒ 4
HP: 1d6 ⇒ 1
HP: 1d6 ⇒ 6

I didn't realize it was a free roll OR 1/2+1!

I still need to re-do the crunch for Rupert :/ I guess this is a good opportunity for it.

Sorry my friend didn't work out. Hopefully these other recruits can handle it, though. They game seems to have slowed, but that's at least as much on the players as on the GM. Considering the way the game started, anybody want to get back to RPing for the heck of it, until the game gets going again?

Is Hargran not participating?

I am going to PM the others shortly, and see if we can't gain a few new players.

Definitely feel free to just chat among yourselves.

Hargran is not participating. Voice, I'd suggest making a formal announcement in the recruitment thread that recruitment is closed and that any further discussion of submitted characters should take place in the discussion. Otherwise, you're going to get a continual barrage of interest; there's basically a vicious cycle of thread activity occurring.

How are you looking to redo the crunch? Are you planning on going more rogue or cleric. I would like to see what all we have (roles) after recruitment is done and go from their. I did a sorcerer due to the group's needs at the time. I may want to switch if all of the roles are not covered.

I will stay fighter and start prestige class - Assassin at 6th level.

I have a certain concept in mind that I'm building for, keeping cleric and rogue roughly equal. I just meant re-do the crunch in the sense that the program I used last time spit out a total mess; my stat block in the profile is...well, it repeats skills for one, and I'm not sure if it shows all of them. That's just one example.

At this point, I'd say play what you want, party roles be damned.

It's been awhile since we've heard anything out of those recruits.

Yeah...we need to advance the ball here.

I have no idea what happened to them. I'll send out another round of PMs later tonight, but first, it's my niece's 7th birthday, so yea, gotta do stuff for her.

OK, sent a PM to Sault and Aiden, we'll see if they respond.

Not sure if the other two who expressed interest were that serious, but Sault and Aiden were the last to post. If one of you guys want to PM Loup and Loaba, feel free.

Hi guys sorry about that I didn't honestly know I was invited.

Sorry to keep you waiting I know that can be frustrating.

Numerological Gift (Dhampir)[/b]

Since birth you have had an intimate connection with a certain number.

Benefit: When you select this trait, roll 3d6. The resulting number becomes your numerological totem and can never be changed. Once per day, when you roll your totem number on a d20 (such as an attack roll, save, or skill check), you may treat that roll as if you had rolled a natural 20 on the die.
for one of my traits
3d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 4) = 14

Finished everything but feats will get to them in the moring
