Can I still replace stuffs from the archetypes like sneak attack for sneak stab?The hell is Sneak Stab?
-.-
it changes the d6 of sneak damage for d8 when I se daggers-like weapons, but I do d4 with any other type of weapons.
The Revised Rogue is compatible with literally every Rogue archetype around... Except Scout, because it gets that archetype's stuff for free anyway.
So... Yes.
Any rogue talents to get bonuses to knowledges?
Canny Observer, Esoteric Scholar and Skill Mastery.
Not bardic knowledge but much less disappointing that I thought.
I... Uh... I'll take that as a compliment...?
It is one of those passive-aggressive compliments.
Any of you play vampire the masquerade? or world of darkness in general?, I would like to DM it...after and If I turn in my thesis.
Never played, have wanted to.
Uhm, in the swift style the third powers don't go well with just taking your dex to damage feat.

I played a lot of WoD when I was a teenager... For some reason, it was very popular over here. Haven't played it in years, though, except for the occasional one-shot adventure.

I'm in love with the d10 system. I have also seen a world building campaign that have been rolling on for years and I want to steal that idea, thought hard to do in pbp.

Similar limitations are applied to all Dex-to-damage feats: The Dex modifier is never multiplied for 2-handed attacks or similar conditions (like using Dragon Style).
The only difference is that your damage is limited to your Rogue level, to avoid dipping... But when it comes down to it, unless you start the game with absurdly high Dex score, chances are your level will equal your modifier by level 4. Maybe 5.

Uhm, though canny observer don't work for knowing combat unrelated things, like history, culture or behaviour of the monsters...

Yeah its ok, it saves me two fears/rogue talents.

It is closer to an Inquisitor's Monster Lore than to a Bard's Bardic Knowledge.
I guess I'll drop the Int/knowledge aspect, it was not very useful to start with.
So, what progression we are using? I don't understand Cyrus stats.
...
The one mentioned in the rules. :P
I'm not sure how to explain it better than what's posted there... What is not clear?
My ability score breakdown
16+2 Human Bonus + 1 Enhancement at level 2
12 + 1 Enhancement at level 4
12 + 1 Enhancement at level 4

16 +1 Enhancement at level 2 +1 Inherent at level 4
BTW, guys... Please, PLEASE, PLEASE... Modify your profile so that the character Class/level line tab uses the following template:
93/93 HP AC 31 (tch 18; ff 25); CMD 27 (+4 vs Disarm/Dirty Trick); Fort +13, Ref +14, Will +13;Low-light Vision/Darkvision; Perception+ 17; Sense Motive +17; Init +11
(if one of these values changes constantly, like a Magus that casts shield all the time, add the modified value in Brackets), like this: AC 31[35] (tch 18; ff 25[29])
It's much, much easier for me to find what I need when they all follow the same formatting style and order of information.
- - -
Also, add your passive skill check bonuses (Knowledge skills, Perception, Sense Motive and Survival) somewhere easily visible in your profile. And don't forget to fill Languages tab as well.
Last, but not least... Add a quick description of the character's appearance. Including immediately visible clothes and objects. Just so that I have a reference.
I also suggest adding a list with your commonly used skill checks, but that's for your own benefit, so you don't have to do it, if you don't want...
- - -
Use Donovan's profile as reference.
I get it. It's a better and smoother stat progression
Of course! Everything I do is better and smoother!
Have someone played with an investigator? are they good at being roguish?
Haven't played one yet, but I've seen them in play a couple times... They seemed pretty good.

Yes.
I see a lot of Discussion and not enough Gameplay! >:P

Oh I missed this!
I love WoD, Mage the Awakening is my favorite.
Scavion, please adjust Brother Cyrus' profile as mentioned in my previous post...
Jeez mom, my character had better formatting than anybody else anyways =P

I've seen everything played together and the mages are like the most crazy ones.
I decided to give your Revised Monk a fair shake. I honestly don't expect it to be great (sorry) but I want to see it in action.

Yep. Mages get to cheat, but they have the most fun. Also it's really terrifying since compared to most other WoD factions, you're pretty squishy and always in danger of going crazy and maybe summoning a computer demon. The best part is that as a Mage your adventures basically have no limits. Wanna go to the Gauntlet? Lemme just open a portal. Wanna chill with faeries in the astral plane? Sounds good. Got ripped into the abyss by a crazy mage? No problem, lets regroup, do some rituals and fight our way out. Maybe bump into some Hunters along the way and give them a hand.
I have a cool gun that was from the abyss that drove you crazy but was an enhanced item that changed into a sword on the astral plane since things look how they're supposed to look there.
Though I think I would start DMing humans for a start, maybe something like silent hill or a dark version of indiana jones.
Is not Cyrus a 24 PB?

That's fair. It's the one that had the least feedback and development time by far, anyway...
It ends up bad, I have can edit it. :)
Thank you, everyone, for formatting your profiles.
Just a few pointers:
Eitylen:
- Instead of "Saves", followed by 3 numbers... Make it "Fort +6, Ref +12, Will +6" (or whatever are the correct bonuses).
- Please add a short description of Eitylen's appearance and immediately visible possessions to his character profile after. This description should come right after your list of Passive checks.
- "Spoilerize" his character sheet.
Tai Leng:
- No need for the word "Saves". You can remove it.
- There's a missing parenthesis between "19" and "Touch". Please fix it, because it's OCDing the hell out of me now that I noticed it. XP
- Please add your Languages and passive skills to the character's profile... It's a pain in the ass to go another site just to check your Kn(Local) bonus or see if you speak Orc.
- Please add a short description of Tai Leng's appearance and immediately visible possessions to his character profile. This description should come right after your list of Passive checks.
Brother Cyrus:
- Everything is great! Good work! :)
- - -
BTW, *if* space ever becomes an issue and/or you feel the character description is too long, you can abbreviate "Touch" to "tch" and Initiative to "Init" in order to save space... If it's still a problem, you can also abbreviate "Ref", "Fort" and "Will" to "R", "F" and "W".
Is not Cyrus a 24 PB?
I'm so great, I don't even need the extra PB.
*quietly bumps his dex up*
When is your thesis due Nicos? I am really interested in that WoD game, just wondering how long I should be waiting. =)
April the 28th, though I'm not sure WoD is suited for PbP or the style of play you guys prefer, it's certainly quite different to PF.
It's a very RP heavy game, isn't it? I always figured those work way better in PbP. We can take our time crafting good posts more than anything else.
Perhaps more than RP heavy is narrative heavy (any game can be as Rp or combat oriented as people wants).
What have you heard about WoD? vampire? werewolf?, or would you be more interested in playing humans like in the fisher st club game?
In any case I hope you and scavion still want to play in Ambervale in May.
Eh... Playing humans is bit... Boring, I suppose. You don't get the cool powers and aren't a part of the bizarre societies of the supernatural creatures.
Hunters are fun, though...
I was thinking in a dark version of Indiana Jones, or something cthulhu meets archaeology.
If playing the supernaturals I would like a "world building game", where after WW III the players have the opportunity to reshape the world (or at least a country) to their wishes.
This would be New WoD or old WoD?
This would be New WoD or old WoD?
Old WoD, though My idea of playing humans comes from the New-WoD.
Old WoD has some bizarre lore... Like reality being decided by popularity... Heh...
Mages are weird, and probably the hardest to DM since they are so ambiguous. Vampirse are the base to measure the others I guess.
I haven't read most of the things, but Werewolves always sounded neat. So did the various Vampire clans.
I don't know much about the others except Mages can get nuts and Mummies are weird.
What I don't like about WoD is the absurd levels of specialization you need to be good at anything... :/

You haven't been a Mage then!
