The Lost Voice's Path of War Trio Ideas


Online Campaigns General Discussion


I don't know if there is way to collaborate with other players on the forums without cluttering a recruitment thread so I have made this thread. I also want to keep things anonymous so no emailing. The recruitment requires three characters with a shared background so PM is out. If I can't do this here just say so and I will delete it.

This is for Raltus and The Pale King but if anyone want to through in some ideas, feel free.

The Game:

Hello all, I desire to run another game. My previous game has concluded and I am looking to run another.

flykiller pointed out on another thread that those of us that have been in a few games should run some to return the favor. The ratio is not important, though 2:1 or 3:1 was suggested, and I decided to adopt the idea.

Now, that said, what I am looking for is that those that are interested work together with two other individuals that are interested to come up with a good backstory for the three of you. I will only be taking trio submissions, and for the initial accepting I will only be accepting one trio.

For the submissions, the setting is pretty malleable. I'm adaptable, and have the time to make at least a post a day, and manage maybe one or two more, depending on the urgency, though a post a day is what I will strive for. In the event something delays me, I'll at least post in the discussion thread.

There is some game information below, but please, post your interest, and start the search for other partners. If you intend to converse at length, please PM each other. Players of all shades of experience are welcome. If you are paired, please mention it so that others do not spend more time looking than they need. I look forward to seeing what comes, so please, show me your fluff!

...That declaration still sounds a bit silly, but I like it.

The current idea:

Had an idea for a new character that would mesh well and maybe the beginning of the group. I was thinking of going the exact opposite direction of the confirmed group but using Pale King's original idea. We could still be from opposing mercenary groups but either adding or replacing it with being from different Martial Traditions. There is one for each main discipline. This works well for a character I forgot about. He's a two-weapon crit fisher. I think Harbinger and Dragon Fury would suit him well and will be from the Crashing Tempest Academy. Being from different schools would give is something to clash on. It also might give us some overlapping disciplines in which to bond over. For instance, Harbinger could possibly share Riven Hourglass and Veiled Moon with a Stalker.

Since we are starting at level 1 we are new recruits of rival merc bands, and they are sending us out for blooding. We are told to protect the others who go but not to become friends since (insert x reason here)

I thought he had said a level but I might be wrong. I down own the Path Of War books so I will be using the PFSRD for the info and the play test stuff for the medic class.


This right?

Solid healing class but a little weird. I have a hard time picturing normal triage in combat. Some kind of bandage ninja jumping around patching wounds sound more silly than functional. I'd fluff triage as some kind of mystic, divine, or ki healing. Like from Naruto but faster. Looks cooler in my mind.

Just hope their is some leeway on the end of encounter. Besides Improved Treatment, which takes an hour, I didn't see any out of combat healing. Class really needs UMD. Also, ambu-lancer is hilarious.

@Pale King, what class you looking at?

Grand Lodge

Yes the Ambu-Lancer is pretty cool and that is exactly what I have stored on my Gdrive.


I am currently considering either Mystic or a Zweihander Sentinel Warder.

Grand Lodge

I am going to choose to be an Acolyte of the Arrow

Seems kinda cool for a Medic class


Could you explain? I'm not seeing it.

THey are about challenging the body to be better without over indulgence, I guess it fits the idea I have for the character in my mind.

To be the best he can be by himself, He doesn't have divine healing he just has his knowledge and abilities like how the Acolytes of the Arrow rely on themselves and perfect themselves.


So here is the previous build. The important part is the backstory since build has not been given to us. It's been modified for this game. Going to build a Harbinger and prestige into Dragon Fury. Might add a few Urban Barbarian levels depending on starting level. Expanded has added some awesome feats.

Edit: Wrong avatar.

Since we are all from different Merc groups we could just be "lent" out to someone who needs some protection, since each group wants to land the bigger contract they are sending us in to show case what their Merc band is all about.


And then the contact finds we work surprisingly well together and only hires us as a group :)

That can be the higher level beginning but would not work for low level characters. I am sure their are much better people in each merc group that could better "showcase" their group than a trio of level ones. Golarion is a high fantasy realm. Some moderate sized towns could have guards actually be level 1.

Your first idea works for that though so we have versatility on starting point.


The more I read from Path of War the cooler it gets. Now they have combo feats that combine disciplines. Like Flowing Mithril Fist and Electrum Manticore. Cool s~*!.

But anyway, you guys need some backstories before build.


Been a while guys. Got anything? Still there?


If I don't hear back from you guys by tomorrow I'm moving on to a new group. You don't need a crunch, just a backstory. If none of the martial traditions look good then we can drop all of that and go with the original mercenaries idea. But we can't work together if I don't hear anything from you.
