yazo's Untitled Campaign

Game Master yazo



Hi, I want to start a homebrew campaign set in a custom city of Kalibri, Kalibri has a large multistory catacombs and ruins running underneath it, and im looking for a party to explore it.
You are all in the city for the lottery, giving out keys to people to explore undertow, you can be from the city or not, its up to you.

character creation rules:
-20 point buy, no stat below 8 or above 18 after racials
-all classes and archetypes by paizo, including the psion, psychic warrior, souknife, and wilder from DSP.
-all core races as well as tiefling, dhampir, drow, Aasimar
-2 traits
-1000 gp to spend
-level 2, max hp at first, then roll at second
-bonus feat at 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th level


Any other 3pp allowed?


Other 3PP is on a case by case basis, though if its on the D20PFSRD it should be good to go


GM, would you mind me dropping the the 2nd level spells requirement off of the mystic theurge? And maybe drop the skill req to 2 ranks in K.(religion) and 2 in K.(Arcana)?

I have an idea for a human or half-elf mystic theurge that I think would fit in nicely.


Thats fine, though would it be alright if you has 2nd level spells in atleast one class?


It seems that Kobold Press is not well supported on the srd. If you have Kobold's New Path Compendium, I was thinking of a coilgunner.


Hmm. That way I couldn't get my first MT level untill 5th.

Would it be all right if I kept the skill prereqs at 3 ranks instead? That way I could take my first level at fourth.

Scarab Sages

I'm very interested. I was thinking of doing a Halfling Knife Master Rogue/Cutthroat Soulknife.


Also interested.

EDIT: I've got an idea for a good support character. I'll have something up in a few hours.


And here is my character, Sam the Potion Man. His description and backstory can change to better fit the setting, if need be.

HP: 1d8 ⇒ 5


@TheDragon 4th level entry sounds fine


Did you say Psion, I am in, cool

I have an Idea humm


Hey there, I'm completely new but I'm very interested if you don't mind helping me learn the game.


I don't mind, as long as other players are OK with it

Feats and Traits:

Feats:
1: Blood-Drinker Dhampir

Class:
1:Access Psionic Talents

Proficiency Weapon's

Weapon: club, Dagger, heavy crossbow, light crossbow, Quarterstaff, and ShortSpear.

Proficiency Armor:
None
Armor does not, however, interfere with the manifestation of powers.

Traits:
1:Focused Mind [Psionic Trait]
Your childhood was dominated either by lessons of some sort (whether musical, academic, or other) or by a horrible home life that encouraged your ability to block out distractions and focus on the immediate task at hand.
Benefit: You gain a +2 trait bonus on concentration checks.

2:‎ Bruising Intellect [Social Trait]
Your sharp intellect and rapier-like wit bruise egos.
Benefits: Intimidate is always a class skill for you, and you may use your Intelligence modifier when making Intimidate checks instead of your Charisma modifier.

3:Soaring Sprinter [Combat Trait]
As a youth, you often leaped and ran at treacherous heights, either because it was the only place with enough freedom for you to play or because it was not a good idea to play any lower.
Benefit(s): You gain a +2 trait bonus on Acrobatics checks to keep your balance or jump, and Acrobatics becomes a class skill for you.

2: Faiths Weakness:
Ajibachanas take a -1 penalty to their caster/ Manafest level whenever they are in an area affected by consecrate, hallow, or a similar spell that makes an area holy.

3:Negative Energy Affinity: [Race]
Though a living creature, a dhampir reacts to positive and negative energy as if it were undead—positive energy harms it, while negative energy heals it.


Special Abilities:

Blood Drinker (Dhampir) [Human Blood]
Consuming blood reinvigorates you.
Prerequisite: Dhampir.
Benefit: Choose one humanoid subtype, such as “Human” (this subtype cannot be “dhampir”). You have acquired a taste for the blood of creatures with this subtype. Whenever you drink fresh blood from such a creature, you gain 5 temporary hit points and a +1 bonus on checks and saves based on Constitution. The effects last 1 hour. If you feed multiple times, you continue to gain hit points to a maximum of 5 temporary hit points for every three Hit Dice you have, but the +1 bonus on Constitution-based skill checks and saving throws does not stack. Can drink blood automatically as part of her bite attack; can drink from its wound as a standard action. Drinking blood deals 2 points of Constitution damage to the creature you feed upon. The blood must come from a living creature of the specified humanoid subtype. It cannot come from a dead or summoned creature. Feeding on unwilling intelligent creatures is an evil act.
Mental Intrusion (Ex)
Increase the save DC of any mind-affecting power by 1 for every 2 power points spent. For the purpose of this ability, you may spend additional power points augmenting a mind-affecting power’s save DC even on a power that normally does not have any augment options.

Race Dhampirs Vetala-Born (Ajibachana):

With skin like faded brass, ajibachanas reveal Their undead taint through their unnatural agility and childlike trains of thought.

More often the result of curiosity or experimentation Than mating, the dhampir offspring of vetalas are born with sharp minds and are inclined to ask questions. Known as ajibachanas, they are forceful and precocious, but their progenitors' distaste for the devout is mirrored in their weakness around holy or unholy sites.

Just like their vampire parents, ajibachanas yearn for knowledge and often engage in scholarly pursuits, but their mortality drives them to work harder and learn faster. In a few short decades, they might gain a better understanding of themselves and their accumulated knowledge than Their eternally childish parents ever could have.

Unable to change bodies like vetalas, ajibachanas lack The variation of their vampire parents, but many excel at dance or contortion, turning their lithe forms into works of art, and possibly earning money through performance. Ajibachanas understand how avaricious vetalas and mortals can be, and thus many of the wiser ones become ascetics, preferring knowledge over gold and ever fearful of becoming as covetous as their ancestors.

Skills
The psion's class skills are Autohypnosis* (Wis), Craft (Int), Knowledge (all skills, taken individually)* (Int), Profession (Wis), and Spellcraft (Int). Telepath (Telepathy): Bluff (Cha), Diplomacy (Cha), and Sense Motive (Wis).

Weapon and Armor Proficiency:
Psions are proficient with the club/sap, Dagger, heavy crossbow Rifle, light crossbow Pistol, quarterstaff, and shortspear. They are not proficient with any type of armor or shield.
Armor does not, however, interfere with the manifestation of powers.

Dhampir Add +1/4 to the psion’s manifester level when manifesting powers of the charm subdiscipline.

Telepathy Discipline:
A psion who chooses the discipline of telepathy is known as a telepath. He is the master of powers that allow mental contact and control of other sentient creatures. A telepath can deceive or destroy the minds of his enemies with ease.

Discipline Talents (Ps)
Choose two powers from the following list: conceal thoughts, mind link, mind thrust, telepathic lash.

As long as you maintain psionic focus, you may manifest either of your chosen powers without paying a power point cost, but the power may not be augmented or affected by metapsionic feats. The damage of mind thrust is reduced to 1d6. You may only use conceal thoughts on yourself if used as one of your discipline talents.

Mental Intrusion (Ex)
At 2nd level, as long as you maintain psionic focus, increase the save DC of any mind-affecting power you manifest by 1 for every 2 power points you spend augmenting the power, provided the augmentation does not already increase the power’s save DC. For the purpose of this ability, you may spend additional power points augmenting a mind-affecting power’s save DC even on a power that normally does not have any augment options.

Powers Known

A psion begins play knowing three psion powers of your choice. Each time he achieves a new level, he unlocks the knowledge of new powers.

Choose the powers known from the psion power list, or from the list of powers of your chosen discipline (if any). You cannot choose powers from disciplines other than your chosen discipline. (Exception: The feat Expanded Knowledge does allow a psion to learn powers from the lists of other disciplines or even other classes.) A psion can manifest any power that has a power point cost equal to or lower than his manifester level.

The number of times a psion can manifest powers in a day is limited only by his daily power points. A psion simply knows his powers; they are ingrained in his mind. He does not need to prepare them (in the way that some spellcasters prepare their spells), though he must get a good night's sleep each day to regain all his spent power points.

The Difficulty Class for saving throws against psion powers is 10 + the power's level + the psion's Intelligence modifier.

Maximum Power Level Known: A psion begins play with the ability to learn 1st-level powers. As he attains higher levels, a psion may gain the ability to master more complex powers.

To learn or manifest a power, a psion must have an Intelligence score of at least 10 + the power's level.

Dhampir Add +1/4 to the psion’s manifester level when manifesting powers of the charm/Mind control sub-discipline.

I would like to join this at a serious level, but I'm not sure as to what sort of character I would play. It would definitely be within the boundaries and not push anything. I just have to think about options for a little while.

What are your expectations for this campaign as the GM?

EDIT:
Also, how well defined is the cosmology of this setting? If I were to play a divine character, who or what would I be worshipping?

DOUBLE EDIT:
Could I play as a LE Dhampyr Anti-Paladin? I would not let the alignment/Code of Conduct wouldn't destroy the group. We could tailor it as well if you wanted to.


As I started with 4e my homebrew setting relies on the 4e gods. I have no problem with lawful evil if played well, to a non destructive means.I want at least 1 post a day and 1over the weekend.


I'm in. I'll do the write up asap.


I bought Hero Lab and created a character, Is there any way to link a the pdf to a message here?


...And I am begotten.

HDlvl2: 1d10 ⇒ 3
