Yes Mojo, I like this version better! Careful with all the holy symbols, you might end up with a level of cleric:) That is what happened to my rogue, think Bennie in The Mummy.


Good. Bennie had a fine sense of staying alive, just no scarabs please. My inspiration for this guy was Bupu in the original Dragonlance books. Its got to be lucky to have one symbol of as many faiths as he can get...right.

Cheers


Cool, I want players that can think on their feet. FGG stuff is about challenging players to be their best, not to create monsters to kill monsters. It is how can I think my way through this? A lot of it you will not find answers in any books or rules as the players are quickly finding out.
I like Bupu and have run a Dragonlance campaign a few times over the last ten years or so. Now those are dragons!


So when do we hear if we are in?


Mojo, you are in. Go ahead and dot gameplay and join us in discussion.

I am going to have to reject this entry. Too much emphasis on summoning.

Lomyldyr thanks for submitting your conjurer. I see where you were going with him and he would have meshed incredibly well with our Evangelists buffing abilities.

I have visions of you laying down a Dazing Fireball in rnd 1 while our Evangelist Cleric in rnd 1 initiates Inspire Competence(move), Aura of Heroism(swift) and a Sacred Summons (standard), and then for good measure you cast a summons rnd2 (taking advantage of all the Evangelist buffs), and then after that you just sit back and watch us mop up Orcus's minions. Now that combo would make Orcus quake in his cloven boots :P

But GM brvheart understandably doesn't want to deal with 2 characters summoning. Will playing Wizard less focused on summoning work for you?


Sure, no problem, I can go back to an evoker build. I'll try to submit something tomorrow.


Brvheart, I've updated Lomyldyr to be an old school blaster with some battlefield control for versatility. Better?


rime burning hands? I don't understand this one, sorry. Otherwise looks better:)


He's using the evoker admixture school ability to turn burning hands into a cold spell and metamagicing with the rime metamagic feat.

If he casts this rime burning hands without changing it to cold thru the admixture ability the rime metamagic will have no effect and he will simply be casting a 1rst level spell in a 2nd level slot.

-Posted with Wayfinder


Ok, doing 4d4. Think I would take 4d6 with scorching ray myself. Yes, it is AoE but at a 15' range. Not likely to get many targets.


Go ahead and dot gameplay Lomyldyr and join us in discussion.


The point of the rime spell is that it entangles those in the area of effect, in addition to the blast damage. Adds some debuf to otherwise minor blast damage. Works better with flaming sphere, fireball, etc. A unique benefit of admixture.


I saw, but only for one round as I read. We will see how effective it is. Worth giving it a look see. Come join us please.

Grand Lodge

Heard you might be looking for a healer. Check out the profile and see if everything looks fine for the house rules. I started at level 7 based on the previous Cleric and used the core rulebook starting gold. I picked a core rulebook deity for the healing domain. If it looks fine to you I'll pick some name and get a picture.


Everything but reliquary. You will need to pick a deity from the deities list though.


Still recruiting?


We are currently recruiting for players for a long running RA game in PF 1E. Levels are 7. Need 2-3


Dotting! Still using the rules of the first post (but with level 7 and WBL)? What characters do you currently have and roles that need filling?

I see this roster, but I don't know who's still actually playing (* for the active ones?):

Cleric
Fighter
*Soulknife/Psychic Warrior/Stalker
*Warpriest
*Wizard


dotting


I'll dot as well. What's the chance that a Spheres of Might or Power might be an option here?


The three with the * are the current players. We think the rest are now gone.


Need a cleric and a fighter at least here. I inherited Sorek, while I appreciate him as a player he is definitely OP, even for RA. Not allowing another build of similar type, sorry.


I usually keep to Paizo products only. I’ll bring a melee character - thinking on a bloodrager, shifter, something like that :)


What would you think of a hobgoblin kineticist (probably an aerokineticist with earth as expanded element at level 7,) or a ratfolk Hedge Witch? How close to core are you looking for?


I'll dot in. I've been kinda wanting to play a support caster, which is sounds like you need. Does it have to be a cleric, or will any healer work?


I am using core races only sorry. My preference would be a cleric. We tried another and it did not work out so well.


Okay, fair enough.


Right, I could make a weapon master fighter I'd enjoy, but if Archlich is thinking a melee character and Vrog is going with a cleric, would a Human Aerokineticist to round out the party be reasonable? I should be able to add some utility and range damage with that.


Okay, is there someplace I could take a look at the stats on the deities? I know there's a blurb on each of them in the campaign info, but I'd like to take a look at the mechanical side of things (like alignments, domains, favored weapons, etc).


You need a "fighter". Would Unchained Monk be within your tolerances?

Deities of the Bard's Gate Region


thank you!


How are HP handled?


I would prefer the weapon master as I do not do unchained anymore.
HP are full at level 1, reroll 1's for the rest. I have no idea what a Aerokineticist is. My sources are listed in the campaign info. I am flexible if I have the source.

Right, Aerokineticist is a Kineticist with the Air Element focus, but it's form Occult Adventures which you don't have as an option, so I'll skip that.

For a fighter, would the Advanced Weapon Training options (and feat) be available? They come from the Weapon Master's Handbook, but, unsurprisingly, work well for the Weapon Master fighter Archetype.


Yeah I am not familiar with the Occult book. Advanced Weapon training and feat should be ok.

Right, let me Roll some HP and get a character typed out.

=Racial Traits=

Bonus Feat: Humans select one extra feat at 1st level.
Skilled: Humans gain an additional skill rank at first level and one additional rank whenever they gain a level.

=Weapon Master Features=

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A fighter is proficient with all simple and martial weapons and with all armor (heavy, light, and medium) and shields (including tower shields).

Bonus Feats: At 1st level, and at every even level thereafter, a fighter gains a bonus feat in addition to those gained from normal advancement (meaning that the fighter gains a feat at every level). These bonus feats must be selected from those listed as Combat Feats, sometimes also called “fighter bonus feats.”

Upon reaching 4th level, and every four levels thereafter (8th, 12th, and so on), a fighter can choose to learn a new bonus feat in place of a bonus feat he has already learned. In effect, the fighter loses the bonus feat in exchange for the new one. The old feat cannot be one that was used as a prerequisite for another feat, prestige class, or other ability. A fighter can only change one feat at any given level and must choose whether or not to swap the feat at the time he gains a new bonus feat for the level.

Weapon Guard (Ex): At 2nd level, a weapon master gains a +1 bonus to CMD against disarm and sunder attempts while wielding his chosen weapon. This bonus also applies on saves against any effect that targets his chosen weapon (for example, grease, heat metal, shatter, warp wood). The bonus increases by +1 for every four levels beyond 2nd

This ability replaces bravery.

Weapon Training (Ex): At 3rd level, a weapon master gains a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls with his chosen weapon. The bonus improves by +1 for every four levels beyond 3rd.

This ability replaces armor training 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Reliable Strike (Sp): At 5th level, a weapon master may reroll an attack roll, critical hit confirmation roll, miss chance check, or damage roll as an immediate action. He must accept the second roll even if it is worse. He can use this ability once per day at 5th level, plus one additional time per day for every five levels beyond 5th.

This ability replaces weapon training 1.

=Equipment=

Armor: +1 Mithral Breastplate (+7 AC, Max Dex Bonus +5, ACP -1, 5100 gp)
Weapons: Dagger x6 (16 gp, 6 lbs.), +1 Adaptive Composite Longbow (3400 gp 60 cold-iron arrows (6 gp), 60 arrows treated with silver weapon blanch (66 gp), 60 arrows (3 gp, 9 lbs).

Stepping out for now, guys - have fun.


An alchemist is ok.


Here Grelldar, 1/2 Orc Alchemist

Background:
A ½ orc from Nex, Grelldar learned his alchemy at the fleshforges of Oenopion. Raised in the city by his parents, he was given a sacred tattoo by his grandmother (sacred Tattoo racial trait). His parents, leaving the old tribal ways behind, raised him to worship Nethys.

A recreational drunkard and druggie (alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, mary Jane, a little cocaine for those who can handle it) who deals as well as uses. He’s an adrenaline addict – that’s why he’s willing to risk Rappan Athuk. He figures he may as well get rich if he’s going to be doing something stupidly dangerous.

Description:
His skin is green. His hair was black, but is going grey, tonsured, and held back in a pony tail. Heavily built for a human, about average for a ½ orc (5’9”, 225 lbs), he’s surprisingly quick for a stocky man. He has significant tusks, one of which is broken and capped. He has facial scarring on cheek (side with capped tusk).

Demeanour:
Lazy and dissolute most of the time, he becomes much more focused and alive when his life is on the line. He’s definitely an adrenaline addict.

Alchemy (Su): Alchemists are not only masters of creating mundane alchemical substances such as alchemist’s fire and smokesticks, but also of fashioning magical potion-like extracts in which they can store spell effects. In effect, an alchemist prepares his spells by mixing ingredients into a number of extracts, and then “casts” his spells by drinking the extract. When an alchemist creates an extract or bomb, he infuses the concoction with a tiny fraction of his own magical power—this enables the creation of powerful effects, but also binds the effects to the creator.
When using Craft (alchemy) to create an alchemical item, an alchemist gains a competence bonus equal to his class level on the Craft (alchemy) check. In addition, an alchemist can use Craft (alchemy) to identify potions as if using detect magic. He must hold the potion for 1 round to make such a check.
An alchemist can create three special types of magical items—extracts, bombs, and mutagens. Bombs are explosive splash weapons, and mutagens are transformative elixirs that the alchemist drinks to enhance his physical abilities—both of these are detailed in their own sections below.
Extracts are the most varied of the three. In many ways, they behave like spells in potion form, and as such their effects can be dispelled by effects like dispel magic using the alchemist’s level as the caster level. Unlike potions, though, extracts can have powerful effects and duplicate spells that a potion normally could not.
An alchemist can create only a certain number of extracts of each level per day. His base daily allotment of extracts is given on Table 2–1. In addition, he receives bonus extracts per day if he has a high Intelligence score, in the same way a wizard receives bonus spells per day.
When an alchemist mixes an extract, he infuses the chemicals and reagents in the extract with magic siphoned from his own magical aura. An extract immediately becomes inert if it leaves the alchemist’s possession, reactivating as soon as it returns to his keeping—an alchemist cannot normally pass out his extracts for allies to use (but see the “infusion” discovery below). An extract, once created, remains potent for 1 day before losing its magic, so an alchemist must re-prepare his extracts every day. Mixing an extract takes 1 minute of work—most alchemists prepare many extracts at the start of the day or just before going on an adventure, but it’s not uncommon for an alchemist to keep some (or even all) of his daily extract slots open so that he can prepare extracts in the field as needed.
Although the alchemist doesn’t actually cast spells, he does have a formulae list that determines what extracts he can create. An alchemist can utilize spell-trigger items if the spell appears on his formuale list, but not spell-completion items (unless he uses Use Magic Device to do so). An extract is “cast” by drinking it, as if imbibing a potion—the effects of an extract exactly duplicate the spell upon which its formula is based, save that the spell always affects only the drinking alchemist. An alchemist can draw and drink an extract as a standard action. The alchemist uses his level as the caster level to determine any effect based on caster level.
Creating extracts consumes raw materials, but the cost of these materials is insignificant—comparable to the valueless material components of most spells. If a spell normally has a costly material component, that component is expended during the consumption of that particular extract. Extracts cannot be made from spells that have focus requirements (alchemist extracts that duplicate divine spells never have a divine focus requirement).
An alchemist can prepare an extract of any formula he knows. To learn or use an extract, an alchemist must have an Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the extract’s level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against an alchemist’s extract is 10 + the extract level + the alchemist’s Intelligence modifier.
An alchemist may know any number of formulae. He stores his formulae in a special tome called a formula book. He must refer to this book whenever he prepares an extract but not when he consumes it. An alchemist begins play with two 1st-level formulae of his choice, plus a number of additional forumlae equal to his Intelligence modifier. At each new alchemist level, he gains one new formula of any level that he can create. An alchemist can also add formulae to his book just like a wizard adds spells to his spellbook, using the same costs, pages, and time requirements. An alchemist can study a wizard’s spellbook to learn any formula that is equivalent to a spell the spellbook contains. A wizard, however, cannot learn spells from a formula book. An alchemist does not need to decipher arcane writings before copying them.
Bomb (Su): In addition to magical extracts, alchemists are adept at swiftly mixing various volatile chemicals and infusing them with their magical reserves to create powerful bombs that they can hurl at their enemies. An alchemist can use a number of bombs each day equal to his class level + his Intelligence modifier. Bombs are unstable, and if not used in the round they are created, they degrade and become inert—their method of creation prevents large volumes of explosive material from being created and stored. In order to create a bomb, the alchemist must use a small vial containing an ounce of liquid catalyst—the alchemist can create this liquid catalyst from small amounts of chemicals from an alchemy lab, and these supplies can be readily refilled in the same manner as a spellcaster’s component pouch. Most alchemists create a number of catalyst vials at the start of the day equal to the total number of bombs they can create in that day—once created, a catalyst vial remains usable by the alchemist for years.
Drawing the components of, creating, and throwing a bomb requires a standard action that provokes an attack of opportunity. Thrown bombs have a range of 20 feet and use the Throw Splash Weapon special attack. Bombs are considered weapons and can be selected using feats such as Point-Blank Shot and Weapon Focus. On a direct hit, an alchemist’s bomb inflicts 1d6 points of fire damage + additional damage equal to the alchemist’s Intelligence modifier. The damage of an alchemist’s bomb increases by 1d6 points at every odd-numbered alchemist level (this bonus damage is not multiplied on a critical hit or by using feats such as Vital Strike). Splash damage from an alchemist bomb is always equal to the bomb’s minimum damage (so if the bomb would deal 2d6+4 points of fire damage on a direct hit, its splash damage would be 6 points of fire damage). Those caught in the splash damage can attempt a Reflex save for half damage. The DC of this save is equal to 10 + 1/2 the alchemist’s level + the alchemist’s Intelligence modifier.
Alchemists can learn new types of bombs as discoveries (see the Discovery ability) as they level up. An alchemist’s bomb, like an extract, becomes inert if used or carried by anyone else.
Martial Weapon Proficiency: At 1st level, a grenadier picks one martial weapon to become proficient in the use of. This ability replaces Brew Potion.
Mutagen (Su): At 1st level, an alchemist discovers how to create a mutagen that he can imbibe in order to heighten his physical prowess at the cost of his personality. It takes 1 hour to brew a dose of mutagen, and once brewed, it remains potent until used. An alchemist can only maintain one dose of mutagen at a time—if he brews a second dose, any existing mutagen becomes inert. As with an extract or bomb, a mutagen that is not in an alchemist’s possession becomes inert until an alchemist picks it up again.
When an alchemist brews a mutagen, he selects one physical ability score—either Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution. It’s a standard action to drink a mutagen. Upon being imbibed, the mutagen causes the alchemist to grow bulkier and more bestial, granting him a +2 natural armor bonus and a +4 alchemical bonus to the selected ability score for 10 minutes per alchemist level. In addition, while the mutagen is in effect, the alchemist takes a –2 penalty to one of his mental ability scores. If the mutagen enhances his Strength, it applies a penalty to his Intelligence. If it enhances his Dexterity, it applies a penalty to his Wisdom. If it enhances his Constitution, it applies a penalty to his Charisma.
A non-alchemist who drinks a mutagen must make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 the alchemist’s level + the alchemist’s Intelligence modifier) or become nauseated for 1 hour—a non-alchemist can never gain the benefit of a mutagen, but an alchemist can gain the effects of another alchemist’s mutagen if he drinks it. (Although if the other alchemist creates a different mutagen, the effects of the “stolen” mutagen immediately cease.) The effects of a mutagen do not stack. Whenever an alchemist drinks a mutagen, the effects of any previous mutagen immediately end.
Throw Anything (Ex): All alchemists gain the Throw Anything feat as a bonus feat at 1st level. An alchemist adds his Intelligence modifier to damage done with splash weapons, including the splash damage if any. This bonus damage is already included in the bomb class feature.
Discovery (Su): At 2nd level, and then again every 2 levels thereafter (up to 18th level), an alchemist makes an incredible alchemical discovery. Unless otherwise noted, an alchemist cannot select an individual discovery more than once. Some discoveries can only be made if the alchemist has met certain prerequisites first, such as uncovering other discoveries. Discoveries that modify bombs that are marked with an asterisk (*) do not stack. Only one such discovery can be applied to an individual bomb. The DC of any saving throw called for by a discovery is equal to 10 + 1/2 the alchemist’s level + the alchemist’s Intelligence modifier.
Alchemical Weapon (Su): At 2nd level, a grenadier can infuse a weapon or piece of ammunition with a single harmful alchemical liquid or powder, such as alchemist’s fire or sneezing powder, as a move action. This action consumes the alchemical item, but transfers its effect to the weapon in question. The alchemical item takes full effect on the next creature struck by the weapon, but does not splash, spread, or otherwise affect additional targets. Any extra damage added is treated like bonus dice of damage, and is not doubled on a critical hit. The alchemical treatment causes no harm to the weapon treated, and wears off 1 minute after application if no blow is struck. At 6th level, a grenadier can use her alchemical weapon ability as a swift action. At 15th level, this ability becomes a free action. This ability replaces poison resistance.
Precise Bombs (Ex): At 2nd level, a grenadier gains the precise bombs alchemist discovery as a bonus discovery. This ability replaces poison use.
Swift Alchemy (Ex): At 3rd level, an alchemist can create alchemical items with astounding speed. It takes an alchemist half the normal amount of time to create alchemical items, and he can apply poison to a weapon as a move action.
Directed Blast (Su): At 6th level, a grenadier can detonate a bomb so that it splashes in a 20-foot cone rather than affecting a radius. The cone starts at the alchemist and extends away from her in the direction she chooses. The alchemist designates one creature in the squares affected by the cone to be the target of the bomb and makes her attack roll against that creature; all other squares in the cone take splash damage. If the alchemist has the explosive bomb discovery and throws an explosive directed blast, the cone of splash damage is 30 feet long instead of 20 feet. This ability replaces swift poisoning.

Racial Abilities
Dragon Sight Half-orcs with this trait gain some of the keen senses of dragonkind. They have darkvision with a range of 120 feet. This replaces darkvision and intimidating.
Orc Blood: Half-orcs count as both humans and orcs for any effect related to race.
Sacred Tattoo : Many half-orcs decorate themselves with tattoos, piercings, and ritual scarification, which they consider sacred markings. Half-orcs with this racial trait gain a +1 luck bonus on all saving throws. This racial trait replaces orc ferocity.
Weapon Familiarity: Half-orcs are proficient with greataxes and falchions, and treat any weapon with the word “orc” in its name as a martial weapon.
FCB: Orc Alchemist (7 levels) = +3.5 to Bomb Damage

His equipment list is incomplete; what impact does crafting (in this case of alchemical items) have on wealth?


Oh yeah, HP

HP: 6d8 ⇒ (5, 8, 1, 3, 3, 3) = 23

HP Rerolls: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Final Results 6d8 ⇒ (5, 8, 1 6, 3, 3, 3) = 28


You have to use market value for items, sorry.

That's fine, the rest of Grelldar's gear is going to nonmagical, although there will be a significant alchemical component...he has less than 3000 gp left. I will fill it out if selected...
