One of my players has just stepped away due to a new arrival in the family, limiting his amount of time for pbp.
So with him leaving, i have a slot open for a new person to come in and play.
I will post more info about character creation and background of the storyline and location of campaign, although you can learn alot by reading the first posting in the gameplay thread, will post more info at my lunch break in 2 hours.
and a bump to bring attention to this...
I'd need character creation information, if I were to join?
EDIT: I am interested, of course. But I'll have to read up on the gameplay thread and such like.
of course...time got away from me

anything from the netbook under the dragons banner is allowed.
The group of characters is from the current reality that takes place within the books. But, they are in an alternate universe where the Rand Al'Thor was not rescued at the of Dumai Wells. Now he resides within the white tower. The group is within Salidar for the purpose to act as liasons between the Black tower and the rebels, but things have gone awry since they arrived. The delegation from the black tower was attacked and only one has survived so far, the Whitecloaks are moving to attack Salidar from the north, and news of the Seanchan moving in from the south has just been revealed by the Amrylin.
also, the wolflord PRC has been removed. in its place are feats found within UtDB.
Here's a bare-bones wanderer / thief taker, if you're still looking for someone! I'm thinking he's a part of the eyes-and-ear network - maybe the yellow since Jasmine is yellow and from this world. I'll flesh out more as I'm able, been a busy week. Oh and this is fia.
Just wanted to drop a note here in case you're ever looking for new players. I'd love to play in a WoT game.
So, when you say "The Dragon Reborn", how literal do you want that to be...
...because I have a kobold oracle of flame who actually believes he is a reincarnated dragon that would fit that perfectly, if wanted.
as interesting as it would be to have a kobold in a wheel of time campaign, i think my players would revolt if i allowed it.
But thanks for the offer Fal.
No worries. He'll find a dominion somewhere. :P
just so everyone knows, this is a wheel of time campaign, not a pathfinder.
Ha. Looks like my comment bumped your thread on the Recruitment board, Rizzenmagnus. Sorry.
FWIW, I have the WoTRPG book but haven't read the netbook you referred to in your character creation guidelines.
Looking to fill a recently vacant slot in my Wheel of Time group.
If you are a fan of the series, then you may want to look into joining this group.
The group has a wide variety of classes, from aes sedia to Aiel, to an Ashaman and an Ogier blademaster from Seanchan.
Perhaps you have always wanted to play a Tuatha'an? or a wolf brother, or perhaps an Aiel that can channel? Or even a Darkfriend?

Use the Wheel of time RPG book from WOTC for character classes.
about what is going on in the campaign
The group of characters is from the current reality that takes place within the books. But, they are in an alternate universe where the Rand Al'Thor was not rescued at the of Dumai Wells. Now he resides within the white tower.
The group has just discovered an ancient ter'angreal that is a house, and within it a room that allows them to go anywhere, so long as they have physically visited the location before...
shameless bump
I'm quite interested, but would need to do a good bit of reading to build a high level character.
I used to have a pdf of the rulebook. Let me have a couple days and I'll get something up here.
ok.
Another bump
Apologies for going AWOL. I couldn't find my copy of the rules, nor an easily downloaded replacement. I read a few things I had, as well as skimming Under the Dragon's Banner. I really can't commit the time to making a suitable entry at this point. Good gaming!
pathfinder version.
more about the campaign...hmmmmmm...
currently the setting is in the midst of book 7, a crown of swords. but the difference is that the majority of the group were taken from the main realm into a mirror world through a portal stone by a black Ajah. actually, the party was split and sent to two different mirror realms. one realm actually had Saidar tainted, and the aes sedai were all men. A combination of aes sedai and Whitecloaks. the other group was ported into a realm where the battle of dumai wells was a failure. the Asha'man didnt arrive in time, and the aiel were victorious, to an extent. they failed to capture the dragon reborn. he now resides within the white tower walls. the Shaido aiel have taken Cairhein and are moving south and east.
The group was just in the mountains, in a ter'angreal travellers house from the age of legends. within this house they discovered a room that allows them to travel to anywhere they have been in their past, so long as the location hasnt changed as much. while testing it out, the group has wondered into a trolloc encampment 100 miles south of the blight border. the blight has begun to build up within the area.
at this time, they are being attacked by a group of trollocs...
Yes, there are two other threads that date back to 2011 That establishes this group.
You would be from the mirror world.
Also, feel free to make whatevet you feel like, dont think you have to make a pc to fill a nitch. If you want to play a fallen aiel that has taken to the sword instead of spear, be my guest.
i like it. very interesting....

i also updated the noble class as well to be more reliant with a few special abilities
reference the level noble and compare to level in bard for what you are eligible to take
Noble: (Dragon Reborn #1039) The resources from the UTDB will take affect over the "call in a favor" shown in the wotrpg book.
noble knowledge: as like bardic knowledge, nobles have greater access to books, and may have read a plethora of topics to help them learn to be better, or worse, nobles. THis allows nobles to make all knowledge checks untrained, and can add 1/2 his/her noble level to said checks.
Inspire Confidence: as per the bard rule but with a minor tweak. The increase in bonus applied to those listening will be +1 every 5 levels. so at level 15, the noble can apply a +4 unnamed bonus to those listening. this effect lasts as long as the noble speaks, but should he stop speaking, the effects will last the noble level+charisma modifer in rounds. The noble cannot use inspire confidence and instill fear within the same combat.
Instill fear and doubt: the reverse of the bard rule. the noble has the ability to demand attention to himself, even in the heart of combat. with this attention, he is able to cast doubt upon his opponents, making them second guess their cause. perhaps he points out the infallacy of it all, perhaps he offers money. either way, his speech saps the will of those he and his army is fighting. this ability affects up to 2x the nobles HD in creatures if they are 4HD or more less than him, if less than 3hd or up to 3HD more he affects his HD in creatures. If 4HD or more above his HD, he affects 1/2 his HD in creatures. all creatures listening are allowed a Will save DC= to noble level plus charisma modifier plus 10. The noble cannot use instill fear and instill courage in the same combat.
inspire greatness: as per the bard special ability
inspire competance: as per the bard special ability.
of special note, sword forms are a skill that anyone can learn, so long as they have proficency with a sword blade.
info can be found here: sword form skill info
you can apply up to your level in sword form skill points.
Don't forget Blade Forms, now. ;)
Use pathfinder rules for skills. i.e. max rank = your level. Class skills give a +3 bonus.
Yup. Using pathfinder versions of feats where they duplicate. For example(s), use Pathfinder's dodge, power attack, combat expertise, etc feats rather than WoT's dodge feat.
As pathfinder's fighter I believe.
Very good. This should be right, then. Rizzen, feel free to take a look.
i like it, dengorin. looks good. feel free to say hi in the discussion posting.
Had some people drop out of the group, so i have an opening or two.
Setting: Robert Jordan's wheel of Time.
Ruleset: cross between the WOTRPG book and Pathfinder.
Character creation: 25 pt buy
11th level characters.
equipment: basic mundane items are available, but magical items are incredibly rare. You will start off with a +1 ter'angreal of sorts, but anything more than that is rolled for or found.
Plot point: This is a mirror realm. The battle at Dumai Wells was an utter disaster for rescuing the Dragon Reborn. He is held captive at the WHite Tower by Eladia. for the PCs, two of their own have gone after a third that went crazy and were seperated from the main party. The main party is attempting to rescue their companions AND free the Dragon.
Right now, a Deathwatch Ogier is rampaging through the White Tower killing all who are Aes Sedai. The group has just found him, but part of the group is splitting off to rescue a trapped companion who just gave birth, and another group is moving up to find the Amyrlin, who is key to releasing the Dragon.
I'm back on the boards Rizzen! Would you be amenable to me rejoining?
Alright, so, always wanted to be in a WoTRPG. Let me dig up my book, but is there something that the group stands in need of? Got enough channelers? Need an agility based character or a frontline fighter? Anything that the party members absolutely will not tolerate?
Well, let's see. We currently have the following characters that appear to be active:
From the world of the books:
Ebou Dari wilder
Aiel Wilder / Wise One Apprentice
Borderlander Wolfbrother
Midlander Wolfbrother / blademaster
Borderlander Armsman/woodsman/blademaster
Aiel Algai / Aethen'Dor
From the mirror world:
Aes Sedai (and npc warder)
Andoran Asha'man / armsman
Ogier Deathwatch guard
Borderlander (I think?) noble / armsman.
Also, hi Jasmine!
Hi Fiallain! Good to see you! :-)
welcome Josh.
Feel free to make whatever you want to make. I dont adhere to the "we need these 4 classes to make a proper party" method commonly found in dnd/pathfinder. instead players make whatever they feel like and then they go on an adventure. It is, from my POV, more realistic in a sense.
I attempt to offer a balance of RP and combat, and encourage players to utilize skills in ways not commonly thought out.
I push the envelope with RP, from cute and cuddly to GRRMartin having sex with the movie "human centipede" and this is the result.
I also strive to make the PCs think, and push their preconceived philosophical boundries.
but, most importantly, i just want you to have fun.
as for setting wise, yes we are in a mirror world. It is currently book 7, at least from the PCs POV.
oh, and Jasmine, welcome back!
After i introduce you, feel free to jump in again.
Thanks so much Rizzen!
