The enemy of my enemy is my friend

"As stories do, the tale spread, across Cairhien and north and south, by merchant train and peddler and simple
traveler gossiping at an inn. As stories do, the tale changed with every telling. The Aiel had turned on the Dragon
Reborn and killed him, at Dumai's Wells or elsewhere. No, the Aes Sedai had saved Rand al'Thor. It was Aes Sedai
who had killed him— no, gentled him— no, carried him to Tar Valon where he languished in a dungeon beneath
the White Tower. Or else where the Amyrlin Seat herself knelt to him. Unusually for stories, it was something very
close to truth that was most often believed.
On a day of fire and blood, a tattered banner waved above Dumai's Wells, bearing the ancient symbol of Aes Sedai.
On a day of fire and blood and the One Power, as prophecy had suggested, the unstained tower, broken, bent knee
to the forgotten sign.
The first nine Aes Sedai swore fealty to the Dragon Reborn, and the world was changed forever. ~The Lord of Chaos. Robert Jordan

I am looking to start a Wheel of Time adventure. Takes place right after the Battle of Dumai's Wells.

Conversion: While the WOT rpg is using the 3.5 rules, It is easy to make the tweaks to convert to Pathfinder. IE: balance and tumble and jump are now acrobatics, Hide and move silently is now Stealth. If you have any questions about what converts, ask me, and i will help.

PC build: Roll 4d6, drop lowest. you can roll 2 sets right away.
6th level characters. I need one character to prestige class as an Aes Sedai or an Asha'man. Would prefer one of each, but the adventure will work with either one.
Max HP.
Max Marks (gold).

How much knowledge of the WOT history and series is required? I've only read up to the start of Lord of Chaos, and no other splash or anything. Also, is there an online resource for the WOT game? (An SRD?)

You really dont need to know too much, just have a basic knowledge of the series, and some of the common names, like Saidar and Saidan, a sa'angreal, Heron marked blade, and so on.

Unfortunetly there is no SRD for the WOT. But the books are easy to find online... and i will let people interpret that as they will.

I would love to be in on this. I still have my book sitting on my shelf, couldn't bring myself to stow it away. I could do a variety of characters in that setting. I'll see what I can come up with.

excellent, xzaral. It is pretty much open right now.

Huzzah!!! Another WoT game. Tell me who I have to kill to get a spot. ;-)

But seriously, I'm totally psyched and hope I get admitted.

I will throw a full concept/build up soon but I will be submitting a male channeler prestiged into Asha'man.

4d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 5, 1) = 16 15
4d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 6, 6) = 20 17
4d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 1, 3) = 14 13
4d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 3, 6) = 16 14
4d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 3, 5) = 15 12
4d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 6, 4) = 21 17

4d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 6, 4) = 16 15
4d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 6, 6) = 19 17
4d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 4, 1) = 11 10
4d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 4, 5) = 18 15
4d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 1, 5) = 8 7
4d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 4, 1) = 10 9

Looks like that first set will work just fine. I'll post some some char stats as soon as I review the classes.

I'm not looking to join (so busy, so busy... D:) but I'm in an offline game of Pathfinder Wheel of Time. Bit of advice, if I may: Nerf Harden Air. It's like a first or second level weave that our party used to solve almost every problem. We fought a bear at level 2 and we hardened air it then coup de grace'd it. Our GM nerfed it so we couldn't attack something we hardened air.
Later on he had to nerf it again after we hardned air around some bandits on the road and tied off the weave. So it's quite powerful as-is. Just some advice, otherwise the system converts quite well.

jonasty...i figured i could rope you into my game. itll be interesting to see how the DM becomes the PC.

what can be used by PC's can be used by NPC's.

Gonna have to spend some time thinking on this one. Poured over the book last night. I've always been partial to caster classes in most games, but since Jonasty called dibs on the Ashaman, looks like that'd leave Aes Sedai. I'd be willing to do that if it'd help the game out, but gonna try to make a few characters up with those stats and see what I come up with.

So what are we looking at for Skills and Feats changes/updates/etc?

Xzaral, you can play an asha'man if you want. There is no limit to how many channelers, male or female, i allow. If the party is all channelers, groovy. if only one person is, groovy too.

Jonasty, and everyone else, here is the break down:

This is a converstion to using the pathfinder system.
SKill selection: Use the skills found in the WOTRPG and then convert them to Pathfinder, like jump, balance, and tumble are all acrobatics now. Move silently and Hide are now Stealth.
Knowledge skills from WOTRPG carry over, and keep Knowl engineering and Dungeneering from pathfinder.

Feats: If it is in both WOTRPG and Pathfinder, Pathfinder takes precedence. If its in WOTRPG and not Path, It carries over as is.
we will also use the odd level feat progression from pathfinder, not the every 3 levels in 3.5

Traits: 2 trait allowed. Social, combat and equipment trait lists are allowed.

If you come across some third party/amateur feats or equipment for the WOTRPG, let me know. i may like them and let them in.

Interested. Playing an Asha'man would make the 12-year old inside of me all warm and gooey. Wow, that sounds awkward if you interpret it the wrong way, LOL.

I'll have to... find the books and get back to you.

Dice rolls:

4d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 1, 3) = 9
4d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 2, 4) = 11
4d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 1, 2) = 8
4d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 1, 5) = 15
4d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 5, 2) = 14
4d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 6, 4) = 20

4d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 3, 3) = 10

4d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 1, 3) = 10
8,8,9,7,16,9

ouch!

I guess I take the first. Should be an interesting character. ;)

Also, I'm pretty new to this whole tabletop thing, so bear with me. :)

[edit]Marten Noral, Initiate

Strength: 7 (hah!)
Dexterity: 10
Constitution: 8
Intelligence: 16
Wisdom: 14
Charisma: 13

Got my got pretty much ready to post, just a couple questions.

1) Cut Weave, is this available in your game? Just checking for my weave selections.

2) Is Traveling still considered a Lost Talent or can I take it now that the Black Tower exists?

3) Is the Invert skill still considered Lost or can I purchase ranks in it?

cut weave is available.
so is quicken embrace and instant embrace.
You can take traveling
hmmmmm...invert. no, it is still lost. but allocate some points for it anyways, ill allow you to drop the points into the skill once you learn it, as a way so showing latent ability with it.

Trying to create the char. Having difficulty converting some of the skills.

Composure, concentration, invert, weavesight, specifically. Decipher script seems to be Knowledge (arcana) and gather info is perception. Should I just lump invert and weavesight into spellcraft? You mentioned invert is still lost, makes sense, so weavesight becomes spellcraft. Also makes sense. Just dont know how to fit composure and concentration.

[edit]Also, how many skill points do we start with? Use pathfinder or WOT methods? Assuming pathfinder.

use WOT for skill points, like a channeler has 4+int per level for skill points. But use Pathfinder rules for skill ranks. so no more than your HD in a skill, but you get a +3 bonus for class skills.

composure, invert and weavesight are WOT specific, so those will be left in. Dont attempt to convert those into spellcraft.

hmmm...in regards to concentration...Lets do a test run on this idea: lets put composure into concentration, since you have to focus your mind in order to have composure. If this makes it too powerful, then we will split it back up.

Invert is its own weave. its like stealth for channelers

Also, ill allow the netbook "Under the dragon banner" for some extra weaves, since the weaves in the book are very restrictive, but if you do use them, i want to know so i can look them over.

Here's my (volty) work in progress. Got a lot of football planned for tonight and tomorrow, so if there are any changes that need made so far, let me know.

Def still a lot to do.

Mechanically speaking I seem to be going between two concepts. Either an Aes Sedai or a Blademaster. The RP portions I seem to be having a more difficult go at.

Aes Sedai: From a mechanical viewpoint with two Asha'man in the group, this would allow us to form a circle, which could be benficial. As far as RP aspect goes, I was toying with Green Ajah, a little more open-minded on the subject of the Asha'man. My only concern is how a group like that would be together, do you have already have a story idea in mind for it?

Blademaster: A little easier to deal with. Problem is I've got too many ideas at present to limit it at this point, lol. So kinda the same thing, any basic information that you might be able to give?

hmmmmmmm...without giving away the adventure plotline, a good balance must be struck in order to achieve all the goals of the adventure.

Updated. Hope this gets off the ground.

Let me know what needs changing. Still havent added the numbers, but I've got a character sheet to work from.

Here's most of the crunch build stuff for Joliar Belthoval, my Tar Valoner Asha'man. I'll post the backstory details shortly along with an actual profile soon.

well, since there are only two people that have put forth a character, im gonna ask that you 2 make your characters level 7. and ill put forth the first posting tomorrow afternoon.

Will do. A shame, as this could be a ton of fun.

Gimme a little time to update my char. I realized I made mistakes regarding weaves. Will be done by tomorrow afternoon. Along with various combat stats.

Hey wait! Just saw this thread right now!

Haven't had a chance to read everything yet and have to get to sleep, but I will have a character up and ready tomorrow! A chance to play in a Wheel Of Time Pbp!! Are you Kidding me?? : D

well, throw together a 7th level character. we have 2 asha'man. If you want to play a third, that's fine, or you can be whatever else.

I am allowing some items from the netbook "under the dragon banner", but whatever you choose, id like to know about it so i can review it.

and i think ill also throw in a DMPC, just to help out for a couple sessions, plus i want to try out an idea.

roll 1
4d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 6, 2) = 1211
4d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 2, 6) = 1412
4d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 3, 6) = 1714
4d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 6, 3) = 1614
4d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 4, 5) = 1513
4d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 4, 6) = 1413

roll 2
4d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 4, 2) = 1210
4d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 5, 6) = 1817
4d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 4, 2) = 109
4d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 4, 4) = 1814
4d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 2, 5) = 1816
4d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 6, 1) = 1211

hmmm...ill go with the second roll.

well, since there are only two people that have put forth a character, im gonna ask that you 2 make your characters level 7. and ill put forth the first posting tomorrow afternoon.

Sounds good, I'll add another level to this guy shortly.

thisll be the DMPC for a couple sessions. and, i have a very weird concept for her, 1 level wilder, 5th armsman, 1 level blademaster.

Just came across this thread. If there is room for one more player I will whip something up tomorrow.

go for it. id like to have a first story post in by 2pm central tomorrow afternoon

I can't finish the character by 2 but I will have it done by the evening. I am thinking Ogier Wanderer/Noble. He was tired of the lifestyle of the steading and took to wandering to see the world. It is a dangerous and exciting time and my character fears and loves the experience all at once.

Nice. Asha'Man only would get a little boring. Also, updated me, weaves, moved to level 7. I think everything is good. I combined Concentration and composure into one stat, and put things towards that. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I cant have above 7 ranks in any skill, right? Thats pathfinder rules?

Sorry, new to dice games.

4d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 4, 3) = 11

I will take set #2.

Hey Rizzemagus. Here is Amorial Suth an Ogier Noble/Wanderer for your review managed to get him done!

I am not sure about Hit Points or wealth. I believe that I did my skill points corectly (level as max +3 on class skills - almost everything is a class skill for Amorial)

Assuming you approve of Treesinging feat, can I take a Masterwork Tressung weapon as a staff or club? Fighting is not his strong suit but he has a decent attack and Heroic Surge so he should be ok in a pinch.

Let me know if I missed anything else.

Thanks.

Hey sorry, today ended up being really busy. I'll start doing the search for the info I need, but if any of you could reccomend which books it would be best I get, I would much appreciate it.

In the meantime, here's some rolls:
4d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 2, 5) = 13= 11
4d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 1, 6) = 12= 11
4d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 3, 1) = 11= 10
4d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 2, 4) = 10= 9
4d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 2, 6) = 16= 14
4d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 3, 6) = 17= 15

4d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 4, 5) = 16= 15
4d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 4, 2) = 11= 10
4d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 6, 1) = 19= 18
4d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 1, 1) = 9= 8
4d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 2, 4) = 9= 8
4d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 1, 5) = 11= 10

Wow, what a choice. Guess I'll go with #2. Those stats scream out any particular class choice to anyone?

EDIT: And wow! Dennis! Where did you find a picture of an Oiger??

Yeah that pic is pretty close to an Ogier :)

Well we have 2 Ashaman and me. An Aes Sedai would be interesting in this group (not sure if the other characters took healing weaves but no doubt we could use them) or maybe a straight up Armsman.

ok, so we have the following:
Amorial Suth, noble 3/wanderer 4
Marten Noral male initiate 6/ asha'man 1
Joliar Belthoval male initiate X/ asha'man X (not sure on levels)
Khaladon's character. Unknown

on standby:
Lorayne Thornhallow: 5 armsman/1 blademaster/1 wilder

@Khaladon: id get the wheel of time RPG and the netbook under the dragon banner.

@marten: you are correct. since this is based off of the pathfinder rules, your max ranks is limited to your HD, so 7 ranks. but you do get the +3 bonus for all class skills.

@everyone: i am sure everyone knows this, or figured it out, but i should state that since this is a 99% human world, the human racial traits, +2 to one stat, Bonus to skill points, are all null and void. Any feats that give extra bonuses to set skills are still valid.

Joliar's level breakdown is Wilder 5/Asha'man 2.

Sorry for not responding back here for a couple days. Had to work the weekend plus an unexpected issue at work, and without a copy of the WoT book available online couldn't build a character. I WILL build a character tonight.

dont worry about it. i got so swamped at work i wasnt able to throw my first posting up. but i will come monday morning. So this will give you guys 4 days to get your characters tweaked out.

Okay, here's my submission. It's not quite done yet, but the gist of it is there.

Okay, Here goes...

hope I'm not too late

I dont think this setting means what you think this means.

Naw, probably just spent abit too long channeling Saidin...

Actually, that would be kind of a neat concept to play off now that I think about it.

I will draft the background and appearance for Amorial when I get home from vacation tomorrow.

Are you all full up? I dont have any of the WOT rpg books; but have read all the books by Robert Jordan and would like to join in.
