Your town is overrun!
A wave of undead monsters of every rotting description have destroyed your kingdom. Though you have some skill, you are no match for their numbers. Through some miracle, your own cunning or strength, you have escaped the burning wreckage of your homes with whatever you can carry.
You begin play as level one characters the morning after the destruction a few miles away from the tower of smoke that was your town.
You get max starting gold for your class.
This campaign will be using a few new systems and changes that greatly effect magic, weaponry, and also makes a few new classes!
These are outlined in campaign info. (Or will be if you get here before I figure that out.)
More to come about me, the game, the system, and my Co-DM Icehawk333!
I'm here.
woooooooo
I think Ed is. I'm about to post to Avalon, Firehawk is too.
ahhh I am?
but what to play?
I thought you had a character? This is the campaign we talked about.
Oh that game, i mean this game, that character, not this and that, i mean why not that i mean this game.
Yeah i gots a sorcerer but i need to ask the dm some stuff to finalize, ithink foul has seen enough of annie
Note, someone has already applied for legendary rouge.
You may still apply, but you do have competition, to anyone interested.
Hello
Ask away Eddy. ;P
looks ok vincent.
it is built enough, but seems a bit weak character wise if you have anyone to fight you for the class.
If that does happen, feel free to do another character. :)
Hmm...the legendary Aasimar Fighter sounds intriguing.
Although, the legendary Vishkanya Rogue does as well.
how are we doing stats?
also I have an idea for a race but I may need to modify the base race a bit.
I wanted to play a changeling but change the size from medium to small.
this is actually my first take but the concept seems to work well this way.
also if I do in fact change to size small should I adjust stats for the size change?
medium to small:
per the monster advancement chart that would be: -4 strength, +2 dex, -2 Con
per the reduce person spell effect it is -2 str and +2 dex only.
I could just apply the young template which is -4 str, +4 dex, -4 Con (this template would allow me to actually begin at level 2 since the Template gives a -1 level (CR) adjustment
Note, in my original plans, the ledendary rouge is the only charecter allowed to be evil (so long as he still cooperates)
The ledgendary rouge should have stolen at least 300gp's worth of stuff in his lifetime.
Those are a few things i forgot to give magic in the write up.

20 point buy.
I don't think starting at a different level is ever a good idea.
As per race points, there is no change in stats between the two.
glad to see you've taken interest. :)
we have one applicant with LR, but you're the first to look at L. Fighter.
now that we have new people, we need to say the part nt everyone might like.
Because Icehawk and I are running this as Co-DM's Ice is running the encounters and I am running the story, we are both going to be running player characters. Mine is a blacksnake summoner with another archetype that removes all but cantrip spells and Ice is running a Sorcerer with a Divine Bloodline to be our healer as that tends to be the one people get "stuck with."
Ice has his character so he can experience the story as a player, which he rarely gets to do as he gm's most of our games. It will remain as mostly a supporter and will not be a deciding factor in any of his encounters, but will aid players in taking them on.
I am operating my character as a combat character, but also as a Semi-Leader that allows me to assist in guiding characters in-character as opposed to using deadlines and story things to rail-road people into the story.
Some people greatly dislike dm's with pc's, but i can assure you, these are only to assist the story that your players will be the spotlight of. :)
so just changing to size small off the base race is fine with no stat changes.
but still get the normal bonuses/penalties for size small right?
Yes, that's what i suggested.
It's not for me to decide, though. I'm just providing baselines.
what ice said, ed.
no young template. different level characters are not a good thing.
just do -2 str and +2 dex. cmb and attack roles balance it out enough.
will take a bit to figure out how to make this character work at level 1
i built it as level 7 before, and that is the level i really start to mesh with my original concept.
I just wish there was a way to get baleful polymorph earlier.
working on a new spell will post it when done.
okie dokie.
i wish this was level seven as well, kinda, but it doesnt fit the story and ice has built the first couple encounters for 1st level.
another thing. i am houseruling that sorcerer can use any mental stat as their operative casting stat wherever cha is used.
in other news, i miss my auto correct and im too tired for proper grammar...
Baleful Polymorph, Lesser
School transmutation (polymorph); Level druid 3, magus 3, sorcerer/wizard 3, summoner 2, witch 3
CASTING
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S
EFFECT
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target one creature
Duration 1 round/level
Saving Throw: Fortitude negates, Will partial, see text; Spell Resistance: yes
DESCRIPTION
As beast shape III, except that you change the subject into a Small or smaller animal of no more than 1 HD. If the new form would prove fatal to the creature, such as an aquatic creature not in water, the spell fails
If the spell succeeds, the subject must also make a Will save. If this second save fails, the creature loses its extraordinary, supernatural, and spell-like abilities, loses its ability to cast spells (if it had the ability), and gains the alignment, special abilities, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores of its new form in place of its own. It still retains its class and level (or HD), as well as all benefits deriving therefrom (such as base attack bonus, base save bonuses, and hit points). It retains any class features (other than spellcasting) that aren't extraordinary, supernatural, or spell-like abilities.
Incorporeal or gaseous creatures are immune to lesser baleful polymorph, and a creature with the shapechanger subtype can revert to its natural form as a standard action.
opinions or thoughts?

(This is because we lack wizards or any int caster)
** spoiler omitted **
opinions or thoughts?
It's a lower level save-or-suck spell, negating an opponent for nearly an entire combat, as a 3rd level spell, and, now a 1hd creature, you can kill it effortlessly.
The lowest level save or die is phantasmal killer (4th level) and it requires two saves, and the penalty for failing only one is just str damage, not instantly becoming a useless combatant.Is this going to be a creepy nature kid who transforms people then makes friends with the animals?
ice, Ed's thing is a you question.
in case you havent noticed, i like home brew and i am sometimes prone to giving ad-hoc bonuses for creative problem solving.
i like a story and i dont like rules to totally define my game.
this is rules mid-light.
Actually, looking at it again, it's not as bad as i thought.
It doesn't remove HD, and you still get 2 saves.
It's alright, not too disruptive.
Sorry about the quick judgment.
one thing to consider too. is the fact that without prepared casters (arcane at least) actual class level is higher to get access to that spell (level 6 sorcerer)
may have to change it to a level 3 summoner spell also.
I also did not care if you said no anyway, I just was throwing it out there.
time for bed I am sleepy
It's no more broken then other 3rd level spells.
(Spiked pit, for example)
I'm glad this is going so well, already. ^_^
This campaign looks very interesting, but I'm a little confused on how to apply to games on this website. It already appears that character sheets are being shuffled around. Is that something I have to do to apply? If so would it be ok if I use mythweavers instead? My last question is what time would the game start?
I forgot to say what I would be playing, I'd be another contender for the Legendary Fighter. If I don't get picked for that I'd like to play a ranger.
What most people do is build a character sheet as an alias.
I'm not sure what Mythweavers is but I'm guessing it's a character sheet building site.
If so, you can build it there and copy paste calculated information into an alias under a spoiler tag to keep things short.
I would like your alias to be fully inclusive, with all of your stat information, a physical description, and a short back story leading up to the point where the city is destroyed.
If you need any help on this, let me know. I can link a point buy website or something else.
The game starts when I have a balanced party to choose players from. :)
For Everyone: We have a group of semi-experienced players here and your DM's are here to help! If you need help with /anything/ feel free to post it here or PM Ice or myself. I am better with story and flavor options, while Ice is better with rules and building things. If you are asking for rules changes or allowances, please post them here if they don't absolutely need to be private, so both me and Ice can see it. :)
Welcome to the site, by the way!
yeah I do alot of posting from work and mythweavers is blocked (along with google docs, which sucks) but I can manage as long as I have something on these boards to work with.
I wish they would upgrade these forums to be more like Giant in the playground forums. allowing custom pics for your profile and also display images in the post. you can even assign a signature that will appear at the bottom of every post you make automatically.
They have stated that they don't want signatures because they clutter posting. They have a part in the site rules FAQ for it. And I think pictures would take a lot more than people think. Lots of copyright and licensing issues, plus a major posting code overhaul. They would have to look at /every/ picture to make sure it isn't bad, and formatting pictures for profiles would be a nightmare.
I think good enough is good enough. :)
I've created the character and I've created a message board alias, but I'm missing where I put my character information... Do I post it on this forum thread?
go to my account up in the top right corner of the screen
go to where it says create new alias and then follow those instructions (ignore the bit about factions unless you really want one)
Put it in the profile of the Alias. :)
Accept he says he has an alias already and your comment was not what he needed...
Go to the profile of your alias. There should be an option to create a profile from there.
Or, use myth weavers, and link to it from your profile.
Angelic blood and flesh cannot be taken as traits. they are feats.
How do you have fly at 1st level?
As said, Ice is our technical person.
He's the one that knows what's going on...
A nearly complete list of traits can be found here
And can i have an explanation of how got got your stats?
I assume you're using angelkin.
Also, i see where you got flight, but you have to roll to get that, or ask the dm if you can just take it.
