The League & Shattered Star.

Game Master Little Finder

Just in case the words 'league of legends' were not enough to excite you How about I throw in 'Gestalt' and 'any paizo book'.

Got your attention?

Cool, let me explain.

This will be a pathfinder game using the 'Shattered Star' AP. With some important details changed. First detail: It will be set in the League of Legends universe. Second detail: You would pick a LoL champion to either be, or be based heavily on.
________________________________________________________

Build that champion with pathfinder rules. Hence why gestalt as some champs can not be made with just one class and multi-classing nerfs to much for this idea. Weapons and armour will be pathfinder based. Names may be changed to match LoL but stats will not. That will all be done when in the game. For now use pathfinder names.

Ok important things to know. In this universe the league was not set up to stop war it acts essentially as the pathfinder society. The Golarion worlds will be replaced with LoL worlds. E.G. the Shattered Star AP book 1 is set largely in Magnimar, this will be changed for Demacia. Expect other similar changes. The lore and history will match LoL as best as possible.

____________________________________________________________

Some rules:

Before you even consider applying, Make sure you are interested in playing the Shattered Star AP and not just the novelty of playing a league of legends character in an rpg. I don't want players dropping out when the novelty wears off. As it isn't fair on other players or myself if this happens.

Also remember you will all be working as a team, as a group of adventures so if you build 'loners that never trust anyone' expect to be rejected. I do not mind some level of 'not easily trusting' etc. Do not feel you have to play a naive trusting idiot. Just be sensible and remember you need a reason to be adventuring with a group.

Ok harsh words done now for some build info,

1. Level 1

2. Gestalt

3. Using these numbers for stats (in any order you wish) Before mods:
10, 10, 12, 14, 14, 16.

4. Any official Paizo book, no third party, no conversions. (As there will be enough tweaking to make LoL fit after players have been chosen.)

5. max starting wealth and HP.

6. Traits from the shattered star AP only.

7. Based on, or directly being, ONE lol champion only. I.E. not 'I want to play a mix of champ A and champ B.

PS: NO VOID CREATURES. Sorry Cho-gath fans. (spoiler, they will appear, just not as playable characters)
_____________________________________________________________

Feel free to ask any questions you want and to discuss builds etc.

I also need a back story as well as basic builds. Even if you are directly playing one of the league champs.

I will be picking the players on March 19th.
I am looking for four players.

It is a fair time away so that gives plenty of time for us all to work out builds and ideas.

GM is UK based so is on GMT. Though I am happy to accept players from any time zone.

Cool idea, not sure I can make it work, but I'll keep it in mind, and wish you luck all the same.

I am somewhat interested, but I do have a few questions:

1. Being in the SS AP, if one is directly, say, Kayle, how does one ratify her story with the realities of SS and Galorian?

2. What alignments would you like? Will you be selecting the party to be essentially all Noxus or Demacia?

3. What are the rules for gestalt in Pathfinder?

Thanks!

I'm in. Dibs on Xin Zhao.

I'm unfamiliar with League of Legends otherwise I'd be all over this. Would it put me at a loss if I created a character while reading up on the universe or is that just too obnoxious?

Yea, this sounds way too cool to pass up. I call Garen top lane.

Actually, now that I think about it, some champs have really difficult abilities to replicate in PF. For example, I have no idea how to replicate Xin's attack speed boost other than with iterative attacks. If I can't manage that, how are we expecting to have Teemo Mushrooms, Nocturne ultimate, or even Kat's shunpo?

Flurry from Sohei would work. You could make Nocturne a tiefling or a class that can cast darkness. Mushrooms and shunpo would be difficult though.

Stratos It is not set in Golarion, just borrowing the skeleton of the AP. rules on gestalt i can go over with you when i am back home. essentially it is multiclassing but you take both classes at every level, I.E at level 1 you would be level 1 (class) AND level 1 (class). there are more rules I will post more when i am at home.

I can take characters from both Demacia and Noxus but your character would have to be ok with working with people from the other place. it will be heavily set in Demacia.

imjohnnyrah, it would be fine to read up on it. So long as you took the time to actually read it and learn it I see no reason why a new comer to the game cant apply. If you like the idea of the AP then you are more than half way there. Here is a link to site about the story of LoL:

LoL Lore

Some ability's will not cross over, attack speed will be done with items and feats and spells like haste. Mushrooms are alchemical bombs etc. Some things just simply wont translate but we do as best as we can with everything and we can get the right feel and achieve a great result.

Gestalt is fairly simple.

Look at the two classes at whatever level the gestalt character would be at, for example level 1 fighter/sorcerer.

Take all class abilities, proficiencies and starting feats of both the level 1 fighter and the level 1 sorcerer.

Take the better of BAB and the saves from the two classes. In this case it means that at level 1 you have +1 BAB (thanks to the level in fighter), you have a high fort save, and a high will save (from the fighter and sorcerer respectively). You will have access to spells thanks to the level in sorcerer, and will also have a ton more skill points than the normal fighter will have.

You will be able to fight with a blade and shield just as well as the fighter, and cast spells exactly like a level 1 sorcerer.

Gestalt gives characters versatility, and because of the access to increased spell lists etc means that combat and out of combat utility tends to be higher assuming diverse classes.

In more narrow class selections, then you become a paragon of doing that niche job. Something like a Druid/Ranger would be incredible at all things nature, but throw him into a scheming campaign where diplomacy and the likes might be more needed they will almost certainly struggle.

Dibs on Shyvana -Gestalt Sorcerer Monk. That goes Prestige Dragon Disciple/Monk (if that's cool)

Okay someone took her name already Shyvana, so I changed it to the half-dragon.

Str - 16
Con - 12
Dex - 10
Int - 10
Wis - 14
Cha -14

I'm having to debate on the race, based off her art I would think something like drow but then again, maybe a tiefling variant like rakashka?

Master of Many Styles/Sorcerer

Many thanks, Jestem.

A while back, I tried to make a few league characters - Fizz and Taric. For the life of me, I couldn't find a way to make Taric have abilities even in the same ballpark. Fizz was tricky because of his jump! Gestalt should make things easier though.

I'd like to give Taric a go, I think. He could be a paladin of Shelyn & something else (but I don't know what yet).

This campaign will be truly outrageous.

Truly truly truly...

Outrageous.

Oh man, I was all on board until the specific "Sorry Cho'Gath fans." My other go-to champs aren't exactly friendly, either. Mordekaiser, Veigar, and Swain don't seem like the types to get along in an adventuring party. Hrrrm.

I could be up for anti-paladin Morde, though. Maybe.

Hue.

Shyvana the half dragon. If I go by her splash art, Drow or human would work. Tiefling is fine as a choice as well. If you go for drow, You can not take the drow noble.

Also a quick note for everyone, picking Drow and anti paladin are fine, however some minor changes will be made, in that you wont be evil aligned for the purposes of role playing. This doesn't mean you have to pick a neutral or good god, pick any that make sense but you will not be playing an evil character. As I said in the add, be sensible you will have to work with others.

Big thanks to Jestem. Gestalt is all the benefits no where near any of the weakness's. It is fun to play and makes for more varied builds. If you get stuck on anything just ask.

Axolmotl, if you want to play a champ that may not get along, just base your guy on them instead of being them. Or change some personality traits but keep the personality as a whole. Viegar for example could be a halfling with a Napoleon complex. He may have desires to take over the world but isn't really evil (sorry Veigar) just has ideas he can't achieve alone. It is all about how you play it.

Stratos, Taric would work quite well as a Cleric of war and a spell casting class or a palidin and spell casting class. For the healing and shatter. As for gems, its all about the items. I can give your guy more gem slots in exchange for loosing a belt or other magic slots. Also magic items like rings and amulets can give you armour that hurts people.

Everyone. It will be hard to get an exact replica of any champ. Just build as close as you can, ill add some fluff and the point is to have fun not to copy and paste.

Go for Veigar! I was totally going to go for him if not for having gone for Shyvana. I'm thinking for veigar you could easily go with a sorcerer/wizard blaster!

Here is a provisional build for malphite. Its a little rough around the edges, but might well work. Use it as an example if you wish.

For me, it's hard to reconcile Taric being so lawful as per the paladin. Regarding his second class, the spell progression of cleric is a tough sell for me - he isn't the praying type, and his magic oughtn't be that powerful in my mind.

Also, given the high number of melee applicants, I think I'd just cluster things in a fray. Maybe I'll try a Ranger/Inquisitor Vayne.

Naw Vayne is totally a ninja inquisitor.

Taric could easily be Oracle + Barbarian then Barbarian/Rage prophet.

Just a few thoughts on what to do with Veigar. I personally don't know of a way to emulate Event Horizon other than pits and walls, so I'm just going with more dakka.

Also, when you say traits from the AP only, does that mean just that, and no generic traits?

Naw Vayne is totally a ninja inquisitor.

Taric could easily be Oracle + Barbarian then Barbarian/Rage prophet.

Ninja comes with an Eastern flavor & I consider it to be slightly on the broken side, so I'd rather not dip into it.

Taric could do Oracle, but Barbarian doesn't fit him.

Here is Spin2Win, I mean Garen. Unfortunately the only way to get something close to judgement is great cleave at level 4/5. But taking Cleave now works.

Ninja's are fine. they are not as broken as people think. I play them a lot.

Posting some interest. Thinking about playing as Draven, dual throwing axes (with the intention of making them have returning). As for classes, I'm, thinking Ranger - something, not entirely figured it out yet.

Im so in! Always wanted to do something like this with LoL. Have played LoL for years now and am hugely interested in this AP and game.

So many champs I'd like to be though...

Wondering how to make lux work if Garen here would want to work with his sister in game. Perhaps sorcerer/wizard? Help

Or I would love to make Sion work. He'd be a barbarian for sure. Focusing on intimidate. Is it ok him being undead though? How would that be resolved?

Just riddle me this:

Urgot.

Half-construct template on something, alchemist focusing on throwing vials of acid, with a habit of using true strike and focused bombs after one hits.

Going to try and create Sion, the barbarian/oracle. Going onto barbarian/rage prophet. Or just a plain barbarian/fighter i am also considering. Will probably be as him before he was turned undead so as in he hasn't died. Wondering if he should be human or halforc? Im thinking half orc so he can get the orc double axe and intimidate bonus.

+1 on the half-orc idea.

I'm in the process of whipping together Vayne. How do the skill points work with gestalt? I've not used it before.

http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/gestaltCharacters.htm

Try that.

Vi would be a brawler fighter and... I don't know what her other half would be, really. But Vi! I don't even play LoL at all and I love Vi. Of course, she wears armor and is covered in tech, so... kinda weird. Anyone got any recommendations? I could go monk but armor turns off most of the class.

Also, *only* shattered star campaign traits? That's a really really narrow selection, even if we only get a single campaign trait rather than the normal 2 traits.

I'm in like 10 PBPs as-is, but this would be hard to pass up. Since I can't think of a way to Nasus justice, I'd probably go GP. I'm thinking gunslinger inquisitor.

Garen would love to work with his sister. Provided that she never laugh in his presence.

Vi could just be a brawler fighter/barbarian. She seems kinda angry. And as the barbarian sion skin would show, he was a normal human before being animated as an undead.

That's a good point actually, how would one work out Lux? Challenge accepted.

Sage Sorceror, since she's really smart but her magic seems to be innate. I don't know about the other half though. Maybe cleric/oracle to get Aid to represent her shield?

Yea that and be a supporting character.
But she needs a laser. Can't be lux without a laser :P

I'm still open to trying lux. I haven't had much pathfinder experience with spellcasters though.

The laser could be RPed via a lightning bolt spell.

You could also do it through either a prismatic ray spell or an arcane blast.

Searing light?

Cool. Do you think sorcerer/paladin would work for lux?
I'm thinking.
S10
D14
C10
I12
W14
C18

Remember, even though your paladin side can wear heavy armor, your Sorcerer side has to deal with the spell failure chance.

I'm dithering between barbarian|fighter and monk|fighter for Vi. Either way, the rage stuff or monk stuff gets refluffed as Hextech. Brawler fighter *does* give up all the armor-related fighter abilities, so I don't lose *too* much by not wearing armor. Other than y'know, AC.

So I'm gonna go Martial Artist (Monk) and Brawler (Fighter) to make Vi.

Little Finder, would you allow Craft (Hextech) as a skill, which I would eventually combine with the Master Craftsman feat to represent Vi making and maintaining her hextech gauntlets and suit?

Damnit, I would love to make Nasus, but I don't even know what race he'd be. Lawful Neutral Staff Magus/Weapon Master Fighter would work for class, though, I think.

16 Str
12 Dex
14 Con
14 Int
10 Wis
10 Cha

Where angels fear to tread...

Draven, if the DM would allow basically two items, dual gestalt magus for two black blades =D

Do we select only one trait from the shattered star book or two? My gut says one but wanted to ask.

-edit- Also if I'm adding claws, can we make the unarmed strike damage replace the claw damage as it goes up? I'd really hate to be using the unarmed strikes over the claws, and will be going MoMS dragon style, tiger and djinn probably.

TrueRepentance: For Lux, maybe a heavens Oracle combined with Elemental Sorcerer? And then take Lightning as your element, or if the GM allows make your element "Light".

Double posting again but, Here Comes Vi.

Bah thanks for getting her song stuck in my head Rokku.

Actually I really like that idea Rokku. Would changing element to light be much different? .
Vi song... Thanks.
