Fated champoin+war drummer skald. I will drum your face off!
If we have me AND a bard?! Oh my....

Edit: His great club is totally going to be a Giant's thigh bone and his smaller clubs will be the thigh bones of his (evil) enemies!

Cool.

I've had a couple of characters that have made necklaces out of Giant's jawbones.

Ooooo you could also Dip Cavalier and give everyone Sympathetic Rage to make it a +12 :3

Of the remaining items on Choon's list I'd be interested in Legacy of Fire or Jade Regent. If Rysky wants to bring back SS into the mix, that'd be fine with me.

Wow. I don't know if it's worth losing yet another level of Skald though. I'll look into it.

Yeah, UI has a Skald archetype that lets you give everyone combat/teamwork feats but it was worded specifically so that everyone still has to meet the other prerequisites. So no Sympathetic Rage unless everyone else is Orc/Half-Orc.


Hey, we're waiting on a post from Tag in the pirate game JGrey.

SS was shattered star right not shackley skulls?

As for your skald idea im totally up for bard buddies. You lay down the beat I sing 'em to death *nods*

Yep, SS = Shattered Star, S&S + Skull & Shackles

And currently playing in a group with both a Skald and Bard I can safely say that combo is friggin scary.


Yes, yes it is. I have to say that it seems we're getting things fairly well narrowed down at this point. I think the discussions on what people don't want to do has narrowed the field down a fair bit. I would point out that our GM should also consider what he wants to run/not run and use that to prune down the list some more.


Dangit Droge we were having a nice discussion and you had to go and derail it.

Or rerail it.

I will say I am biased towards Shattered Star cause I've never played in it, and it has Thassilon stuff, and a bunch of other things in it (plus one of the cooler dice sets).

But I'm not gonna arbitrarily say that's what we're gonna play, otherwise I would have said so from the beginning and not start a discussion :3

Scarab Sages

I would accept a shattering star game, Never played it, never made a charector for it, there are obvious stars in it, with bards and your biased for it


I regret voicing my bias now.

Shattered Star, Jade Regent,would go for Giant Slayer as well. Could do another Legacy of Fire if that was the consensus.


Hmm, so I think we got it narrowed down pretty good.

  • Shattered Star

  • Jade Regent

  • Legacy of Fire

  • Giantslayer

    So out of these four what would everyone most like to play?

    (I think I got the consensus of what keeps being said, let me know if I'm wrong)


  • 1 person marked this as a favorite.

    I'd prefer Legacy of Fire or Shattered Star with a leaning towards Legacy of Fire.

    Not really interested in Giantslayer as I'm in one and running one irl. Jade regent is rough, from what I understand, and I've never had one make it very far. Large chunks of, I believe books 1&2, don't run very well and there are a lot of extra things to keep track of when it comes to NPCs.


    The NPCs would be more work, other than that I don't know a lot about it. We've only gotten to Brinewall.

    Scarab Sages

    So it looks like a choice between LoF and SS.
    I'm leaning toward Shattered Star because I know nothing about it, but LoF is a pretty close second.

    The whole section where your dealing with the caravan rules and traveling across the crown of the word seems to be the big killer of the campaign. From what I understand a few bad rolls kills everyone and the game ends there with little you can do about it. Mind you that's just what I understand to be the case, I admit it's a campaign I'd like to play through, just not very high on my interest list.


    Don't know much about Caravan rules, I just know our GM took them out.

    Let's go Shattered Star. Off to Magnimar we go!

    Scarab Sages

    I'm good with that. Time to download a guide!


    Okies! Shattered Star!

    BUILD RULES

    25 point buy
    Allowed Material: if you can link it to me I'll probably allow it. Regardless of whether it's 3pp or Paizo or homebrew I reserve the right to disallow anything if it proves problematic.
    Starting Wealth: Max for class
    Traits: 1 Campaign + 1 other (may take drawback for a 3rd if you wish)
    Bonus: you may select one free Story feat if you wish (you can thank Phoenix for this idea :3)


    Gameplay thread is also available for dotting.


    Awesome! Not sure if I will yet but is the vigilante class acceptable? Got a couple of ideas on it but if not then I'll go with something else.


    Vig is fine :3

    Edit: I am banning the Brute archetype though. For obvious reasons :3

    Scarab Sages

    Alrighty. Time to get cracking.
    Is it ok if I flavor an earthbreaker into a Giant's thigh bone? There's a campaign trait that requires Earthbreaker.


    AC 18[17], T 12[11], FF 16[15]; hp 40/40[54]; F +10[12], R +5, W +7[10]; CMD 16[17]; Init +6; Perception +12(14) Raging Song 21/21

    This will be the alias I, Choon, repurpose for this romp.


    1 person marked this as a favorite.

    Sure, it can be an ancestral thigh boneEarth Breaker. Not your ancestors'. The Giants'.


    Okies Ugg.


    AC 18[17], T 12[11], FF 16[15]; hp 40/40[54]; F +10[12], R +5, W +7[10]; CMD 16[17]; Init +6; Perception +12(14) Raging Song 21/21

    :D


    That's fine, I was looking at either the warlock or magical child archetypes as they both are interesting and have magic. Now I just have to narrow down which I want to play.


    *nods*

    W gets blasty, MC gets a cool familiar :3


    AC 18[17], T 12[11], FF 16[15]; hp 40/40[54]; F +10[12], R +5, W +7[10]; CMD 16[17]; Init +6; Perception +12(14) Raging Song 21/21

    To those undecided, playing a martial or martial-ish may not be a bad idea. Right now we're sitting at +5 attack and damage at lvl 2. :)


    If you make it to level 2 :3

    Martials can help with that!


    I'mma gonna download me the player's guide for the AP and read through it before pitching a few ideas.


    AC 18[17], T 12[11], FF 16[15]; hp 40/40[54]; F +10[12], R +5, W +7[10]; CMD 16[17]; Init +6; Perception +12(14) Raging Song 21/21

    It's kinda sparse, to be honest.

    Scarab Sages

    Aside for the traits yeah >.> That being said anyone else going alabaster outcast?


    AC 18[17], T 12[11], FF 16[15]; hp 40/40[54]; F +10[12], R +5, W +7[10]; CMD 16[17]; Init +6; Perception +12(14) Raging Song 21/21

    Shoanti for the win

    Hmmm. How do we feel about gunslingers? I'm really feeling the vibe of the small chick with the giant gun...

    Scarab Sages

    question for the dm... I am thinking of purchasing a carraige, preferably complete with a driver/manservant. A fellow to be left completely at home in most situations just I have this idea for this disinheirited Noble rapscallion who refuses to completely let go of that life.

    How much would it cost to say have that servant hired for a few months ahead of time? how much after that would it be a month?


    J - I don't have a problem with them overall, especially starting from level 1

    9 - *scratches head* they should have prices for that sort of thing in the Core or Cohorts & Companions.

    F$~%ing iTunes... does anyone who uses this have problems with it deleting your whole device library when you try to add new stuff?

    I have freed myself from the slavery of Apple, Inc. So I haven't touched iTunes in years. Sorry.


    Found it.

    Been actually considering Shield Champion Brawler, Probably because I watched Winter Soldier last night.


    Heh

    Hah! I made one of those, Mark! A while back. She was fun.


    F!+# IT! I got book 1 on so its good.

    *grumble* *grumble*

    Does anyone have an app they would recommend? iBooks is really sweet to use, in and of itself, but dealing with iTunes...


    I use the Kindle app to read PDFs.

    as to the itunes thing this happened to me one time and I was pissed... however I like turned it off then back on and all the stuff was still there... But I've had the same ipod nano since like 2011 I think? so not sure how helpful it is.

    As for the Manservant, would you allow the use of the Rich parents trait and the bonus money to spent entirely on a carraige (100gp seats 4, 2 drivers seat) the horse to draw it (200gp) and manservant to drive said carraige/slash wait on my silly foppish needs (paid in "advance" say for 6 months so 180gp) which would account for 580/800. Using the rest of the wealth for silly frivolous things like a cask of Old Law Whiskey, a bottle or 2 of Absinthe, spare noble clothing etc... maybe a bottle of two of fancy expensive perfume for gifting purposes, silk cravats, etc . . .

    If no I promise thats cool, I have two different ideas for how I want to build this, the 'spoiled' rich dandy Or a more streetwise sort.

    RPG Superstar 2009 Top 16

    I think I'm definitely going with that then. I rarely ever play full martial so it should be fun.
