A seedlings fate

Game Master DEWN MOU'TAIN

Looking to see if there would be any interest in an adventure within the four lands, aka the shannara setting by terry brooks. i would be setting it around the heritage series. Ill post more thougts, especially bout restricted classes and what not tomorrow(since im on my phone right now)

I may be interested. The books are on my to read list but I haven't started them yet.

I might be interested, Terry Brooks is, to me, either really good, or gah. Especially in the Shannarra series. I liked the first couple of books, hated the next few, and liked the ones after that. Can't remember the ones I disliked.

agreed.

i have wanted to play in the setting since i saw the Druid prestige class in Dragon Magazine (although it wasnt particularly GOOD, but hey. kinda cool.)

I too am interested in this. Good books, some kinda meh, but awesome overall story-arch.

same here. i last read the shannara series when i was 13 years old, which is 20 years ago. I just picked up the scions of shannara a couple weeks ago and am enjoying this second re-reading immensely.

I actually own the dragon magazine you mention, and am looking to see if i can find it so i can utilize it.

i also read them wayyyyy long ago. Don't really remember much right now on top of my head about the story but i am sure it would all come back

That does sound interesting. I remember those books I read about 6 of them, they were pretty good but I read them out of order. I actually liked his landover series more though.

I would be interested in this game. I have been a very long time fan of Terry Brooks (20+ years), and have often created creatures in other games I run based on things from these books.

Hmmm... i see the interest. Ill post soke more tomorrow

Great

I am curious. I need more information before claiming interest.

I will probably try to work out a shadow using mage of some kind. Not sure what class I'd start with, but that is my general character concept. Are you willing to accept 3pp classes on a case by case basis?

I was looking last summer for a class simular to the Shannara Druid. I was given a class called warden. http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2mtac&page=15?Im-bored-give-me-ideas-for-a- new-base-class-I#748 which when play tested, was not any more or less powerful then the others.

I could not find where i got the baelfire or whatever it was called from though. Maybe he just fluffed up it up on the spot for me.

Someone else suggested using a 50/50 Druid/Magus so i ran a buddy in a couple encounters each of multiple levels to playtest it was interestingly fun.

Clerics.
All those gnomes were clerics, they would probally have Life and Healing maybe earth or good.

Dang, I am just not finding anything that does "shadow" manipulation even remotely well.

I think i will change my submission to a human ranger.

I would be interested in air sorcerer.

would love to play

probably a Dwarf paladin or Inquistor

Would you allow Psionic classes? I am interested in playing a Elven Cryptic.

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/psionics-unleashed/classes/cryptic

at first, i wanted to say no to psionics, but thinking about it, i think psionics would give a unique flair to the setting. so id allow it.

But no to an inquisitor.

so, pc creation rules:

classes: Base classes from pathfinder rpg are fine. If you wish to do something else, like an inquisitor, or cavalier, please ask first and let me consider it.

races: dwarves, gnomes, halflings, humans, elves, half elves, and half orcs

1st level

max hps

1 trait allowed.

remember, anything magical, both arcane, divine and psionic is looked upon with distrust, and in some parts it is outlawed.

when you talk about this and dragon magazine do you mean the rules from here

stats creation rule dm?

im debating elven ranger with a musket or halfelf magus with a scimitar.

Either way he wants to find his way to Paranor hoping to be able to join the ranks of the Druids, failing that to become a master scribe

lol... the most important piece to character creation and i forget it...

25 build points.

It's been years since I last read the Shannara series but I'd be more than interested in joining if there is still a slot.

So can I be a dwarf Druid with the Cave domain.
Edit: changed druid type

I'm thinking Human Fighter (Archer). I would need to double-check whether the archetype is too costly for the benefits, before saying that the parenthetical note is an archetype instead of a build focus.

IMO, some of the character concepts I see above aren't very Shannarra. Doesn't mean I'm right, and my impression has zero influence on the GM's selections, but it would be nice if everyone considered that when thinking about their potential builds.

BTW, Rizzenmagnus, Inquistor and Cavalier are Pathfinder Base Classes, but they are not Pathfinder Core classes. So, your statement about Base classes without coordination is probably not going to get the response you expect.

EDIT:

Hmmm . . .. If I can find my Dragon archives, I might have to track down that article, just to look at it.

He says core classes only in his first post the second post is probably because base and core are similar concepts in the english language.

Agreed. But since the concepts posted already indicate that people have misinterpreted that bit, I thought pointing out a potential cause for the misunderstanding was the most polite response.

Yeah I see what your saying sorry if I came off a little rude.

Also this post has a link to a record of an old game with some pieces of the magazine in it.

Yeah I figured Ranger was as shannara as I could come up with without being too bland. I do love playing Psionics but I can't really think of too many characters that seemed psionic. I might be forgetting someone though.

It seems possible in the last book I read their were zombie cyborgs of all things.
Edit: until I wrote that I didn't realize how weird the zombies were.

Ah. I only read the first 6 books and I think one other with an airship.

Been playing with mechanics for the Archery Fighter, and I think the archetype trades are SURVIVABLE (though still pretty expensive).

Looking at a hunter background, building from the Fighter class instead of the Ranger class. Trained Acrobatics (to represent athletics), Perception, Stealth and Survival. Mechanics support a concept, they aren't supposed to define it. <eg>

Got more to play with before I can post the build, though. And I have some research to do before I can post a background. Been a while since I've read anything from the Shannarra series.

Hustonj, thanks for reminding me of the difference between base and core. So allow me to state properly

CORE classes are allowed, BASE classes will be considered.

If I remeber, its dragon #286 or there abouts that i got the info.

Oops. Starting Money?

The class average.

fyi ill close the recruitment on thursday at noon cst.

I have a few questions:

what city would we be starting out in?

Would you be so kind as to hint as to what types of creatures we might be fighting primarily?

Once again i will be making a ranger that fights with two weapons. imagining him as a bit of a forest badass, probably with two axes. But in his village he is a super nice guy, reasonably-well-liked, and good of heart.

Tyris

Creatures that bleed. :)

hmm i am unfamiliar with Tyris. Could you describe the city a bit to me or link me to where i could find more info? I am googling and not seeing it on maps.

Sorry i mispelled it. It is actually tyrsis.

is there a sub racial elf that would get +2 dex +2 cha like in Krynn? :)

other question would you allow a human inquisitor?

Drow get that. You can Ancestral Regression everyday or something.

This is my submission

If selected, I think I will reuse the alias "Dolin Smith".

Dolin grew up on the edge of the Duln forest, where he learned something of being a woodsman and hunting as he grew up. Other than a little excitement on a couple of hunts, he was fortunate to not have dealt with much in the way of actual trouble through his youth. This has given him a nearly naive positive outlook on the world, and this world view has led him to head to Tyrsis looking to see what he can do to help improve the lot of his fellow men. And those other races, too.

I have to admit, I am kinda surprised nobody's asked to be a troll.

Looks like a couple of resistance fighters.

Ah Tyrsis, i thought Tyris sounded familiar but i scoured southland maps looking for it. i didnt even see tyrsis, had i see that i would have figured a typo.

but anyway, for my character (a ranger wielding two axes) would it make sense for him to have been in the border legion, or the free legion, or something similar? i guess the real question is where are we chronologically in relation to the books?

Im setting it between books 3 and 4 of the heritage series. So no free legion.
