Looking for a Rise game with this character. I've tried to complete it many times, and have gotten as far as just past the beginning of book 2 with him.

Dang, poor Rednal, again with the loss of a player for this? When I applied last time, Dair was Swashbuckler/Magus, so I will likely re-make him thusly.
Super sad I have once again not gotten into a Rise game :(
Just choose me for Rise :P
Presenting, Dairkal for God touched Rise! He's a PC I have been trying for *years* to get into a long running Rise game, including a table top version. Sadly, all of them have died for various reasons. His chosen deity is Desna(Luck Domain), and he already had the birthmark trait, so that's written into his background. Only thing is, he came to Sandpoint for his own reasons, not anything tied to his birthmark. Though, I suppose Desna could have guided him there.
Loup!! RotRL!! Gestalt!! Whoohoo!! Seriously, I have tried to play in at least half a dozen Rise games, including a RL one, and they have all failed for one reason or another. So, I would sell the souls of several innocents if it meant I could get in a RotRL game that went the distance. Might be bit of a dumb question, but in your OP, you said that 'we'll be using gestalt for leveling up' does that mean for level one we're single class, and then 2+ we gestalt? Either way, I will be remaking Dair here as a Stalker/ Harbinger, focusing on being a mobile, quick striking, acrobatic attacker. Edit: I'm going to submit Dairkal to Storyteller Shadow's Rise, and will submit a different PC(same classes, stalker/harbinger, but I will probably make him a human) for this, as Dairkal is a follower of Desna, and so fits a bit better for that recruitment.
I was considering the fortune blessed template, but I would rather not loose the level. Also thinking maybe going Kensai, but that might a bit too martially focused? On that topic, would you guys prefer a 9 level general caster ala Wiz/Sorc, or is a Magus good enough?
I have a character on a separate alias that I use for my IRL games who went through book 1 and part of book 2(not too far however.) I believe he's a level 5(or 6) halfling swashbuckler, I would probably make him a magus for the 2nd half of his gestalt. Probably no template, unless one is required. I have tried, since pretty much Rise came out to get into a game with a variant of this character, and they all die out for one reason or another. EDIT: Apparently, he's not there. But, this Dairkal is more or less the same build, and is already 4th level. Edit the 2nd: Updated Dair to gestalt, gotta pick spells and gear, and adjust skills and feats. Rednal, should I equip myself as a 4th level PC? Also, any bonus spells added about and beyond the normal ones to my spellbook? Some GMs allow, some don't.
Solid stats. Is Swashbuckler allowed? Its Paizo, but from Advanced Class Guide. Dair has been in many a Rise, including a table top that last just into book 2 before our GMs life got a bit too hectic for him to keep running.
I'd still like to get in on this, but I am waiting for that exact location from ya Wolf. I plan on incorporating other parts of Cheliax into my backstory, but I wanna make sure I know where we are to add the right spots in.
Where exactly are we? Up by Backar Forest?, over more towards Elidir? Or down near the Chitterwood?
Hey, this week totally got away from me, real life nonsense. Am I still allowed in?
My brother is officiating several matches for a local independent wrestling show tonight, which I am attending, will post either late tonight or tomorrow at some point. Thanks for the acceptance!!
I am going to be taking the Dream-Called trait, and my magic item is the Cloak of the Hedge Wizard(Illusion) While its not overly combat oriented, being able to cast Prestidigitation and Ghost Sound at will really fits Dair's performer background. That I can also cast Color Spray 1/day is an added bonus, but I would have picked it without that.
I would be interested in applying with Dairkal, leveled up to 4th, with re-rolled stats and adjusted background to take him from Varisia to Cheliax. Would rather like him to be Swashbuckler from ACG, but if being a core class is better, I keep him Rogue. = 8 = 13 = 17 = 14 = 16 = 6 = 11 So, that should be 8, 13, 17, 14, 16, 11.
Here! I think you "owe" us some levels and magic items :P
Waiting and ready sir!
Still here as well, and echoing all sentiments above
Dair looks around, rapier drawn, looking for trouble. "They will not"
The little performer shares what info he knows about the young lady with Vishoon, adding "Definitely want to follow Karl. If the father gets the wrong idea, or perhaps the right one, it might be a really bad night for our heroic friend"
Dairkal enjoys his meal, then gets up and starts a small juggling and magic act, to entertain whichever patrons remain. The little man is quite good, and while he performs he also tells an exiting adventure story or two.
"I believe this temple is dedicated to several deities, Shelyn among them. While I personally worship Lady Desna, I will offer kind words to the Eternal Rose, especially before a performance"
Dair once more flashes a charming grin at his friend "Hiya Ame! Yea, we fought pretty hard out there. Mr Foxglove, hmm, do I know him?." He ponders that for a bit. "Anyways, I'll have my usual love." Ame doesn't mind the affectionate term from the halfling, and she returns a slightly playful smile.
Dair comes back and tells the others that the situation at the graveyard, such as it was, is apparently under control "We'll go there first thing in the morning. I don't like it, but I would rather not upset the guards" He then flashes Karl a grin "Tis part o me unspeakable talent don't ya know? It be awful hard to hate a man who be entertainin ya and makin ya laugh till ya tumble off yer seats" He says in a overly outrageous accent.
Lol, just when I'm back online, zee GM is without. Well, I will post Dair's reponse a little later tonight, and I guess we can just chat among ourselves till Busman comes back.
Without internet currently, posting from my cell. Won't be able to really reply in game till tomorrow hopefully.
Dairkal, who should be well known to these guards, listens to them and his companions go back and forth. Finally, he has had enough. "You four deeply disappointment me, with all this bullying and talk of half-breeds and such. Whatever happened to Sandpoint's vaunted diversity and open-mindedness? You four have no idea what happened here, and just because the Sheriff gave an order you feel you can just push us around?" He looks each guard in the eyes. "Now look, you men are quite capable, and we are as well. There is apparently something bad happening in the graveyard. Why don't we go and investigate it?? This way, there will be that many more us to deal with it. We've already proven ourselves, so let us all handle this threat to Sandpoint, together!"
Dair sighs slightly at the death of the goblin "Not the best outcome, but not the worst either." "I know where the graveyard is. I'll lead the way" The little man does just that, rapier and one knife drawn, ready for trouble.
Dair lets the others handle the intimidation of Gonash, after all, that wasn't really his style. It lacked any subtly or style, two things he was all about. When it was pretty obvious they weren't getting anywhere, he offers "Why not take him to the sheriff, lock him up."
The halfling retrieves his pair of daggers, and cleans each blade before making them disappear in his clothing. "For those who do not know me, I am Dairkal, acrobat, juggler, and stage magician extraordinaire. I work and currently live at the Rusty Dragon, and am good friends with its lovely owner, Ameiko"
Moving a bit closer to the goblin near him, Dair tosses another dagger
Dairkal darts forward and tosses one of his many daggers at one of goblins.
Dairkal moves closer to the goblins, though he is sadly out of range for any sort of attack.
Dairkal moves quickly towards the commotion, rapier out, ready for more trouble.
Dair, seeing one of his companions fighting a goblin, tumbles behind it, and lashes out with his rapier.
Alright guys, I'm off to work and am unsure if I'll be able to post should more combat arise. GM, if you need to bot Dair, he'll always attempt to set up a flank for sneak attack. If that's not possible, he'll try for a dagger toss attack.
Seeing the sinister looking warrior in trouble, Dair sprints across the battle field as fast as his little legs can take him, aiming to jump up on the wagon. Edit:
GM: What if I use a Run action? That gives me 60ft, and then next round I could either climb or jump onto the wagon.
I'm way down in the initiative order, so I was waiting. I wasn't sure how Bigbus handles combat, but I was going with the default of "you wait till its your turn to post". I also I was out all last night at the local fireworks and just woke up, so yea, sorry for any delay.
After the odd man with his questions left, Dair listens to the end of the speeches. When the butterflies are let loose, he joins in with the children chasing them down, and even manages to catch one. He shows it a few little kids nearby, then lets it go saying "Lady Desna teaches us that all must be free to enjoy life, even if all that means is flying around looking pretty" He then makes his way back to the Rusty Dragon, long before any of the strange people he saw at the festival. He assists Ame for a bit behind the bar, until it gets crowded enough for them to request entertainment. He starts out with some basic juggling, and simple magic tricks, to the oohs and ahhs of the patrons.
If the other PCs head to the Rusty Dragon, Dair will have made is way back there after his odd conversation with Karl.
