Larcifer's page

Its a great buy, I was very impressed with it. You will be happy you did. It makes Glorian come alive! Lets just say under the Wizard heading thier is a neat replacement for scribe scrolls. If you are a member of the Arcanamirium (pg 51) check it out!

A question here...What do we do about the stuff we were actually training for? Do we see if we were successful or not, do we need to retrain it for the second season?

Thanks KMD for the Harrowing I will add it to Ingra's page again much appreciated!!

hey "Kiss me..." I like the Harrowing idea do you own a deck? how did you do it, would u mind doing one for the Over-protective Mother Ingrid...

sorry to thread Jack, but Nelrem if you want a Glorian weapon, take a look at the Campagin setting on pages 208 and 209. If you want a decent weapon that while not as powerful as the mercurial long sword is Glorian flavored. I see 3 options:

1. Falcata 16 gp 1d6 1d8 19-20/x3 — 4 lb. Slashing

Falcata: The traditional weapon of Taldor, the falcata has
a single edged, concave blade and a hook-shaped hilt often
stylized in the shape of a horse. Its shape distributes the
weight to give it the momentum of an axe with the cutting
edge of a sword.

Its an exotic weapon, but it has a X3 crit with a decent threat range.

If you are an elf there is the

2. Curved blade, elven 24 gp 1d10 2d6 x3 — 7 lb. Slashing

Curved Blade, Elven: A longer version of the normal
kukri but with a thinner blade, elven curved blades
are rare even in Kyonin. When using an elven
curved blade, you gain a +2 bonus on
opposed attack rolls to disarm an opponent
(including the roll to avoid being disarmed
if such an attempt fails).

It is an exotic heavy blade but a martial weapon if you are an elf.

3. Dueling sword, Aldori 20 gp 1d6 1d8 19–20/x2 — 3 lb. Slashing

Dueling Sword, Aldori: You can use the Weapon Finesse
feat to apply your Dexterity Modifier instead of your Strength
modifier on attack rolls with an Aldori Dueling Sword sized
for you, even though it isn’t a light weapon. You may wield
an Aldori dueling sword in two hands in order to apply 1-1/2
times your Strength bonus to damage, even when using it with
Weapon Finesse. These swords are about 3–1/2-feet long, very
slightly curved, and sharp only along the outer edge.

Also some neat feats that go with them:

1.Taldorian Duelist
You graduated from one of Taldor’s elite fighting schools and
are skilled in Rondelero, the art of fighting with the falcata
and buckler.
Prerequisite: Dex 13, Exotic Weapon Proficiency (falcata),
Weapon Focus (falcata), proficient with a buckler, Taldor affinity.
Benefit: When fighting with the falcata and buckler,
your shield bonus to AC increases by +1 and you
gain a +2 circumstance bonus on Balance and
Tumble checks.
Special: A fighter may select Taldorian
Duelist as one of his bonus fighter feats, as
long as he originated in Taldor.

and

2.Aldori Dueling Mastery [Local]
Your mastery of the Aldori dueling style sets you apart from
even the other swordlords.
Prerequisites: Dex 17, Greater Weapon Focus (Aldori
dueling sword), Weapon Finesse, Weapon Focus (Aldori
dueling sword), Weapon Specialization (Aldori dueling
sword), base attack bonus +12, proficient with Aldori
dueling sword, member of Aldori school.
Benefit: You can make one additional attack each
round with an Aldori dueling sword (whether wielded with
one hand or two). The attack is at your highest base attack
bonus, but each attack you make in the round (the extra
one and the normal ones) takes a –2 penalty. You must
use the full-attack action to use this aspect of the feat.
In addition, when you wield an Aldori dueling sword
with two hands, you deal +1d4 points of extra damage
with each hit (even attacks of opportunity) and
gain a +2 shield bonus to your AC. These
latter bonuses stack with those gained from
Weapon Focus and Weapon Specialization.
Creatures immune to critical hits and
sneak attacks are also immune
to the extra damage your Aldori
dueling style deals.

I highly recomend this book for your campaign Ross its very helpful and detailed! anyway sorry for the thread jack. If this is inappropriate please delete this post.

can anyone tell me what we r doing about Hitpoints?

Sachiko is almost done will be up tommorow. thx for the patience and yes chris sachiko can stay behind at the city while I am away...

Two good events rolled a 12 and a 17 Intimidate a class skill good for the command in the role play and hey I too was captured by a dryad. Yay I do nto smell like a pig and I keep my lone remaining eye!!

I totally missed his answer! No problem like Quand stated there are plenty of good feats available....

Avinar rushes to aid Tristan (move action) he slices at the creature and attempts to make himself a more appealing target than Tristan

To hit: 17
To damage 7
Invisible Castle is Down???

Chris am I able to save one of my feats and leave it blank and then when I hit Level 2 can I make use of it?

The traits in Second darkness add a +1 to one or 2 skills and allow the PC selecting the trait to add one of the skills to their class skill list.
For mark of the owl to be more balanced I suggest.
1)Only works in a specific environment, for example:
+2 to perception checks while the character is under a star filled sky

OR
2) Only work for a specific condition, for example:
a +2 to perception checks when searching for traps

If it is a "blanket +2" that is a bit over powered when compared to SD traits.

to equal a SD trait it would be:
+1 trait bonus to perception or disable device and one of these skill becomes a class skill for your character....

Thinking of traits for the Shield Madien

Trait #1
Shield Maiden
standard action
When wielding a shield of any kind you may take a -2 penalty to your armour class to provide one adjacent ally an AC bonus equal to the AC bonus of the shield used. Cannot be used with Tower Shields due to their cumbersome nature. Any magic bonus of the shield applies.

"A mother's threatened child inspires protection"

Trait #2
Daughter of Tharkad-Kul
All allies in a 20ft radius of the "daughter" including the daughter herself gains a +1 bonus to their saves vs fear and death effects; while in the Halls of Tharkad-Kul.

"A mother's gentle word is often enough to sooth her children"

Over/Underpowered thoughts?

[occ]You are absoulutley right TS I totally was not thinking about the bonus feat we got. Nevermind moving along now :)[/occ]

Hey guys just got home from vacation #1. If I make the cut I am leaning towards playing a female Dwarven Cleric of Adabar. Wellard if this is stepping on your role let me know as I have other options as well. I figure 2 clerics would be very useful. I am on vacation #2 from sept1-21st and my posts will be delayed as I am off to Europe. I will leave Patrick instructions on DMPCing the character I intend to play. Wellard if you see this let me know if you are comfortable with a second Dwarven Cleric, I will make her different from yours. At any rate I just want to make sure you are comfortable. I am thinking of the Nobility and Protection Domain. I want to make a Shield Madien concept so basically a light crossbow and a heavy shield with Bashes. I will stat her up!

That artifice ability is just nasty, spend a round breaking your opponents weapons and armour just awful!!!

I assume that feats from the Pathfinder Gazeteer are available?

Basically all 1st level characters start with 2 traits, no two traits can come from the same category. They are in addition to feats...So all of us would get 2....

In terms of traits or in terms of the character I want to play....

In terms of character I wanna play there are 3 options
option 1: A female Dwarf cleric of Abadar with Protection and Nobility she is a sheild madien and I thought it would be a blast if I were a wife of one of the other 2 dwarven players. I did not want to use a weapon, just sheild bashes, but all the later sheild bash abilities require I take 2 weap fighting, so maybe she will have her dieties light x bow and a frying pan!
Option 2: A Taladorian Duelist (Can be a fighter, paladin, or ranger what ever we need, would like to do a fighter) Basically a very high mobility fighter.
Option 3: A Dwarven fighter or Barbarian who uses a heavy pick.

Any of these I would like to try (the fighter and cleric are intriguing because I am not playing one of these on these boards in Beta rules).

As for traits its part of the Beta experience and they can be found in the Pathfinder companion...

Since we have updated to Beta are we all getting to choose 2 traits?

Are we using "Traits" in character creation? Just in case I am in the game on sunday I want to be ready to go!!

Hey Patrick I am here as well! Still intrested if you need an alternate!

Good point Chris! I was just trying to emmulate the game mechanic of how a Favoured soul gets a good attack progression and better HP than a cleric, and a FS does nto get domains. as for the role play aspect that can work however the player attempts to. I think your evaluation of the Favored Soul is spot on.

Thanks Wellard!, Isaw your Dwarf in the Game Patrik is runnign he looks awsome! Patrick is the GM in a Gamma World game I am in on this boards called "Appilation Jihad" Its been a lot of fun! You are gonna have a blast with him. I am really looking forward to the game with Chris my character is an outside the box type...A sorcerer who is a front line fighter we will see how it works

What about using the cleric with the "Holy warrior" aspect in the gazzeteer to simulate a Favoured Soul if you go that route.

Can I take a feat that I do not have the rquirements for but not be able to use said feat until I meet the requirements
OR
Can I keep the feat spot blank, meet the requirements and then use the "saved" feat from level 1 to use at level 2 when the requirements are met????

Hey Chris,
Is it my understanding that I cannot take Hamatulatsu until level 5 due to the prerequisite of needing 5 ranks in intimidate? Or was this done before the beta therefore its the 3.5 skill system hence I can get it at level 2 thus making it similar to a prestige class skill. It is very confusing because 3.5 and Beta are different skill wise. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

Hey guys just so you all know September 1st to Sept 21st I will be on Vacation. I am going to Berlin--Prauge--Vienna--Bratislava--Budepest and I hope into Romania to see the transylvania area!! Its pretty cool since this region is similar to the one we will be playing in! My family roots are from Hungary and Romania so I am excited for this!!! I will post as often as I can, but I assume it will not be once per day. As the time draws near I will contact you Chris for instructions on DMPCing Sachiko when needed to keep the game going smoothly. Her charater sheet will be done by Sunday/Monday!!!

Thanks Chris to your prompt replies! Hey everyone it looks like we are going to have some really neat characters!!

Chris you are on the same page as I. Having the ancestral spirit passed down through the family tree to a chosen one from generation to generation is exactly what I envisioned!

Thanks for the access to the spells I will have the variant "Claws" of fire!

I am cool without the hidden reserve, no issues here!

Ok I will take Hamatulatsu--I will write it up in Sachiko's final background, Maybe these nuns can be a reoccuring villian who are trying to hunt down and reclaim their "lost wayward daughter" Maybe extracting the evil spirit from Sachiko is a goal of their's as they have a use for the spirit themselves???? Also the notoriety of the fighting style can be fun. I can see it now EVERY citizen of this town will be spitting 3 times after I walk buy them LOL!!! Poor Sachiko, abandoned at birth by her village, sold to a slaver's ship rescued by the "kind" nuns of Isgir, recaputed by the slavers, shipped off and bought by Madame Silk. Wow poor Girl!

Quandry, I ment could I "read" the entry for Tian Xa and use it as in game knowledge and have access to any Tian feats if they are available...(I di nto have my PDF at the time) Hence there are no feats and Tian is not explicitally detailed in this supplement. There is information. I have no issues with being illiterate, I can spend a skill point to read common. I am good with the Barbarian. The rage HitDice and 10ft of Mvt work well for this build I am exploring. I do like some of the ideas you have suggested. Thanks for the intrest and suggestions. Do people she this characte rbeing problematic?

I could switch my human race so I can get the magical reserve option, but I was thinking the same lines as you were Quandry that my family ancestor(s) are both good and bad hence the abyssal heritage but it being under control. I like the asian--ancestor feel I am going towards. I am reading the entrys Chris wants us to read and I could change my background to fit this region more ethnically its funny because in real life I am Hungarian/Romanian so the folk lore of my family meshes quite well with the flavour of this campaign.

Sachiko wants the claws and the benefits to strength that come with the abyssal bloodline; I will say the spirit is a ancestral one who was corrupted by a demon and its Sachiko's responsibility to house this ancestor and find a way for redemption.

Its quite funny if we look at the marvel universe we have:

Gambit--Our Harrower diviner and now wolverine/lady death strike in Sachiko just a funny observation....

There are a few spells that interest me they are:
Critical Strike; Expeditious Retreat(Swift); Blades of Fire;
All are in the Spell Compediumn
I assume they (Critical Strike and Blades of Fire) can work on the claws I will get at level 2...

Oh I just got my Campaign setting PDF (nothing much on Tian Xa so no feat issues there) there are some interesting things I want to try.

1) Sorceror ability replacement
Hidden Reserve [pg. 50] I see this a better fit with Sachiko also the Fatigue will help in my Roleplaying with the struggle with controlling my Family Ancestor (demon)

2)Can I take a feat later that is identical to "Hamatulatsu" on page 83 Campaign setting. However I would like to change the back flavour maybe I was taught this by Monks back in Tian before being sold into slavery.... (This is not too important for me but with the use my claws it is a very cool mechanic)

Hey Jagyr if we flank one of the other PCs that gets 1 of us in then we can work from the inside :) Good luck all, hope to be in soon!

Hey Guys I will be making a female sorceress with the abysaal bloodline, I am awaiting my campaign book in the mail so as soon as I get I I will post more, I will have a full character write up soon)I am also on vacation for the 1st 3 weeks of september I will post spradically during these 3 weeks but I will leave Chris a detailed list of instructions of what to do. When I am back home I will post very often at least 1/day! HAPPY ADVENTURING!

Patrick if ya have the room I would love to play!!!

Hey Black Tom, you have to do what is best for you. I like Sasha quite a lot. Often with the spell casters, they lag behind in power until they get a level 3 spell and then they kind of take off. I think you have been getting hammered because "Sleep as a spell" has been useless because we are facing many constuct like things. The question you have of really being useful or not is not important. Instead ask, "Am I having fun"? If you are not, then ya maybe bowing out is the best. In another game I am in we are all playing kids the biggest roll I have had is a 13! I am failing at everything, but man I am having a blast doing it. I actually see a pretty important niche your character fills. A blaster with a healing touch. Very useful. like I have said Avinar enjoys having Sasha around, but do what is best. I do appreciate you being so upfront, I bet Wellard and the rest of us do as well. Take care.

Hey Rob not game related

Take care,
Larry

Congrats to all who made it! Ross, you may want to check Wandslingers last post to this thread, you may have to confirm his schedule. Anyway, Have a blast and get them Drow, when and if any of you pass on to the other side I am waiting in one of Riddlepoints seedier bars waiting for my shot! Have a blast!!

Vladimir asks "What will the signal be?". After getting the confrimation on the signal, he waits with the dog to make a distraction.

good luck y'all especially to those I am involved with in other PbP!!!!

Avinar moves with supernatural speed swift expiditious retreat to reach the autonomaton in time to strike at its mechanical bits and pieces. Avinar thrusts up towards a joint trying to disable the mechanical statue.

Madame Silk
Mistress of the Silk's Embrace Brothel, 2nd lvl Expert, 2nd level Bard, Chaotic Good

Madame Silk runs a "gentleman's club" on the outskirts of town. The place has a reputation of fine wine and even finer companionship. It meets the needs of many travelers and even some well-to-do inhabitant's from the town.

Besides companionship, information can be gained at the right price from some of the loose-lipped patrons and service girls. It is rumoured that if one has a fetish or particular need, this is the place to go. Darker rumours suggest that Silk's girls can even be hired out for other purposes.

Some suggest that Silk's brothel is under direct protection of the town's underworld. Regardless of the rumours, Silk's is a fine establishment that many frequent to relieve themselves of everyday stressors.

Hey Chris I am in another game with you and I would be intrested in seeing how u run a game, I am open to many classes. I am on vacation from sept 1st to sept 21st in europe so my posting would be very slow those days but when I am back home I would post to your standards. I tentitively plan on going to the Con as I really would like to meet a bunch of the people from these boards and the amazing staff.

Half orc sorcerer with the Abysal blood line fighting for redemption....

I am having fun, its a real excersize to hold back and get into the mind of a child, simple things may cause nervousness and terror, that I as an adult would not think twice of, its quite fun, and helps to Create a strong attachment to the character and other PCs, my rolling has been abysmal, but I do not care failure is a part of growing up and Vladimir will be the better for it. What is cool later on when time has passed in game and we are closer to adults if one of us gets seriously injured it will matter to us all, we all will be protect so and so! I like that idea. Kudos and thank you to all!

I will leave instructions for sure. what does "ta" mean..looks embarassed...

Hey guys Having a blast as well, just a heads up, my comp is being repaired so my posts may be a little less...Also I am on Vacation to Europe from sept 1st til sept 21st unsure how often I will be posting while in europe, but I will do my best. Patrick I will get in touch with you before I leave and we can talk about what EVA's goals are incase I am unable to post regularily while on Vacation.

Hi guys as for Vacations I have a couple comming up:

Aug 13th-23 off to My inlaws in a cabin in the mountain lake region of British Columbia, I will have internet access regularily.

Sept 1st-21st off to Europe
Berlin, Prauge (Hope to have a beer with Sargan X :)), Vienna, Bratislava, and Budepest! I am unsure of my internet acess during this trip.....

I will check in when I can and FW I can leave instructions for RPing vladimir...

If you guys ever need a replacement player let me know, I read the game and fell in love...anyway get in touch if you need a replacement. Have fun guys!!

Ya I have no idea where I will end up Going for a martial cleric, who knows..favoured soul, cloistered cleric, fighter, or Paladin may all seem like possibilities. Either way I am enjoying this a lot!

assuming its round #2
Avinar now flanking the arachnid, slashes at its side while keeping its pincers far away from himself, Almost as if he is dancing, Avinar elegantly sways and rolls from the creature's mandible after his poetic slash.

Attack and Damage rnd 2.
Att: 15 +4 dex, +2 Flank=21
Dmg: 4 +2 Str=6

Mother's Kiss glistens as the sun reflects off of its hilt. Its blade's keen edge covered in the ochre coloured blood of the giant arachnid.
