Sorry - I built the armor from scratch - breastplate for creature (so double cost)=400gp plus a +2 armor=4k plus a +1 enchantment=1k for a total of 5,400gp. Guess I added wrong?

If so, then I'll leave it as +2 breastplate for the wardog (4,400gp) and keep the Hand of the Mage necklace (900gp) and Ring of Sustenance (2,500gp) for a grand total of 7,800gp!!

However, since I now have gold left over, I'll have the armor made out of Living Steel. That would make the breastplate 2,400gp (1,200gp x 2 for Med non-humanoid) plus 4,000gp for a +2 bonus for 6,400gp. Now add the necklace and ring and you get 9,800gp.

How's that? =)


I'll be Compiling most of the character tonight, as I still need to finish off a few things.

The Creator Nicknamed his project "DA" which stands for Divine Amazon,
though is was both success and failure in his eyes.

Character creation rules:
25-point buy
Starting cash is 10.5 K
two traits
anything I missed or got wrong?

GM:
Got most of the paragon class into a text file, but will be working on finishing the Paragon powers a bit later.
Gotta work on the actual character.


Given the sheer preponderance of melee, I'm currently working on a retooling of the tiny fey into a gunslinger...

What happens if a flying creature uses the Leaping Shot Deed feat? How do they "fall prone"?


Here's the basics of my submission: Evangline Valeria Astrid

Still have the equipment to do along with the back story.


I'm not really planning on having a backstory. The scientists didn't bother implanting him with any memories besides how to talk. He'll be born into the test facility with nothing to go on but instinct. Since he doesn't have hands (or their equivalent) I'll be reliant on more humanoid creatures to do things like open doors. With my ring of sustenance though, I should be good to go 22 hours a day. Based on past experience with this kind of game, I'm guessing we'll be able to address threats up to around CR 12-13 then we'll start going through resources really fast. With no healer we might get one CR 13 encounter done before we're screwed. With no oure casters or rogues traps and threats that need magical solutions might be the biggest issue.


Evangline Valeria Astrid:

I have Fast Healing 1, so before 41 rounds are over I'll be back at full HP, ready for the next encounter.


I also have fast healing, and DR and high AC and SR and high saves, but we're still going to take damage.


I have a wand of CLW and high UMD. My healing capability is dependent on how we get treasure, but if we get enough healing items my team should be ok in that regard.


I believe I have finally finished My character: Named Svitz


Svitz reporting in.


Ooh, fast healing. Clever idea.

Here's the revised Solvyn race, now called Vyslon to distinguish. Perhaps they're related in the way elves and drow are... Well, if they weren't a freshly created race, anyway.

Vyslon:

Type: Fey (2 points)
Size: Tiny (4 points)
Speed: Slow (-1 point)
Languages: Standard (0 points)
Racial Language: Sylvan

Ability Scores: Advanced (4 points) -> +4 Dex, -2 Con, +2 Int, +2 Wis, +2 Cha
Final ability scores: -2 Str, +10 Dex, -2 Con, +2 Int, +2 Wis, +2 Cha

Traits:
Advanced Dexterity (x2) (4+5=9 points)
Flight (x3) (4+2+2 = 10 points) -> 50' fly speed (average maneuverability)
Low-Light Vision (Innate to fey)
Breeze-Kissed (3 points)
Static Bonus Feat (Point Blank Shot) (2 points) (Quasi-justified as this race using anything except ranged weapons is just silly)
Vulnerable to Sunlight (-2 points)

Description:
Typically standing just over a foot tall, a Vyslon looks like a washed-out version of a Solvyn. Their skin is so pale as to be nearly transparent, with a faint bluish tinge conveyed by the blood moving under it. Rather than vibrant purple hair, their hair is a pale lavender or a nearby shade. Their translucent wings have just a tinge of purple to them, and would otherwise be colorless.

And here's the actual character (almost-raw Hero Lab output - once the alias is created, it'll get cleaned up):

Azure Zero: Did you take into account the racial prerequisites? Somehow I seem to be seeing traits with fey-only requirements right next to outsider (native) with elemental ties...

also, I seem to be missing some of your abilities, for I only count 27 RP
Advanced abilities 4
fey 2
fey dr 3
fast heal 6
seducer 2
gliding 3
breath 1
claws 2
energy resis 4
total = 27 points...


Love the pic there Svitz! It looks epic :D
As for healing, I could create a healbot to come along with us, let him be a GMNPC. I could use the Beast of Burden race I have created, as he would naturally prolong the life of anyone nearby and turn him into something that can heal us. Actually I could use this guy that I am building, change his stats around a bit so that he can use UMD and use some wands of CLW. Currently he can dish out a good dozen AC to anyone standing beside him, grant those beside him temporary hps and cover, and finally absorb half the damage the entire party takes (I fully expect him to take more damage than the rest of the party combined :P).
He was going to be a secondary character, but he might be what we need.


Ehm... I would like it if people would finally settle on a build. Making a few tiny tweaks aren't too problematic, but to make two balanced teams I need to know what the characters are going to be like ( to, for example, avoid putting all the dps beef in one group and all healers in the other)


I've settled on blob, just need to finalize gear and feats. His description should properly be up by tonight as I've got some time to write.


You've created monsters, Dr. Upton! Literally!!

This is it for me...hard enough to create ONE race.

No backstory - DD is happy to sleep in the sun and lick himself untill he gets a target to hunt =)


I've decided to stick to Barbarian, four attacks is nasty enough without adding 'blending mode'.


Both of my characters, Toxicroak and Beast are done. They both should be 100% complete as far as I can tell and I am completely undecided on which one to play :P
Both are very durable, both are only mediocre at offence, Toxicroak has got some great disables while Beast can buff those in close proximity and heal.
I'll let you guys decide which one I play with :)
DR J. Upton, feel free to use whichever one you think would fit best.


Actually, I want you to make the pick yourself so I can finish the team-set up

You know, never mind, here are the teams:

Team Alpha
Tocicroak/Beast o'Burdon
Kerian Caitan
Lacuna 6
BLOB
Svitz

Team Beta
Igeros271
Devil Dog
Karnicore
Eapheu Damira
Evangline


Okay, go team Beta! So what now? Do we go to separate discussion threads?


We could have 1 in the gameplay tab and another in the discussion tab, that could work :P


Alright so it looks like on our team we have:
Tree sorcerer, can heal, and im guessing focusing on summoning?
Abarant Psionic multiattacking DPSer
Spherical master summoner focused on mass summoning (obviously) and regeneration, good buffs.
Large, strong fighter, you do realize you only got 2 claws and 4 arms right?
and me.

now it seems the 3 of you are between fragile and medium defensively, Beast would make you considerably more durable, reducing all damage you take by half, making you immune to sneak attacks, increasing your reflex saves by 2 and giving you +11 AC 3 times a round as well as MORE healing. Biggest weakness is that you would all have to be huddled around me for greatest effect.

Toxicroak would be more of a scoutish type/debuffer. I would have the ability to render enemies useless for long periods of time and slowly debilitate them, scout with a decent sneak rating, get places with swim and jump, but he deals considerably less damage.

Which would you guys prefer? ^__^


I know it's possible to have multiple gameplay threads linked to a shared discussion thread. I'm in a game set up that way. I have no idea how, though, since I've never created a campaign here. Or it could just be set up as two separate campaigns.

Also, Dr Upton - can I get a ruling on the Leaping Shot Deed? Can I use it while flying? Do I drop to the ground, or can I recover mid-air?


I've done a shared discussion thread before and it's problematic.
You can't jump the to the gameplay thread through tabs at the top, and when you select the one you belong to it'll jump to the campaign tab.


Thanx Joseph, was thinking the same thing.
I think I'm gonna make gameplay the Team Alpha thread and Discussion will be Team Beta. The recruitment thread will remain open as a general discussion thread for all

I'll allow the drop deed in mid-air but with a few alterations:
Instead of falling prone, your fly maneuvrability drops to clumsy and you have to complete the move, what/where ever that may end up.


That method has it's own problems, as Beta team will not be registered as being in the campaign, the posting list box will not put the character alias at the top for the player, and will not be in the character or player tabs


Minor tweak: removed survival bonus and added a second set of claws for second pair of arms.


What if Beta team all posted in the gameplay tab once? Would that be enough to qualify them for it or would they be dropped due to 'lack of posting' or sumsuch?


I think between 3 to 6 months it'll drop beta team.


eh no loss then ;D I kid!! I kid!!


The DM can make sure everyone is under active player list after beta team posts in the gameplay thread once.

@Joseph: My char can get everyone back to full hp each encounter so out of combat healing is covered. I personally would like a debuffer as my debuff takes the same spells slots as my buff. I will cast it on occasion irregardless though.


I like Toxicroak's potential as a debuffer, as Keriann Caitlan's trip, grab and Combat Reflexes are very hard to escape from if you are already nauseated.


Toxicroak it is then :)
I am looking towards getting this thing going then, and pray we don't run into a herd of Beasts ^_-


Just a note Upton, use this character sheet and not B.I.T.E as I will update B.L.O.B. I couldn't change the name on the other alias so I made a new one with update info, still missing most of my gear and description but getting that up very shortly.


Not a big issue but you misspelled my name in the info Upton.


Hey, a proper name is important! it is how everyone knows you by. I had someone call me a Poison Dart Stink before :P


Bad news, Dr...Your Gameplay thread is hosed. the tilde at the end of the link (~) kills it. I saw it before. You'll need to send an email to tech support...

That's why I generally don't create the alias until the character is finalized and the game's about to start. Once you've reached the 10-post cutoff, you'd better hope the character is the one you're going to use...

Speaking of, it's time for me to go create Eapheu's alias. Back in a bit with it.


And here is said profile. Note that I didn't take that feat afterall.


I'm awaiting techs response. Azure, your the last, hows it coming together? would like to start as soon as the issue with the gameplay thread is fixed.


Any limits on spending other than it has to be below 10,500 gp?

And I'll be doing a few swaps of the feats.

GM:
I'll send you an updated race and paragon class in a PM when I get home.

And the Fey DR, even though I'm outsider(Native) is because it has Nymph(Fey) and Succubus(Outsider) blood, both have DR Cold-iron.


I'll drop,
as RL is starting to make a move and is going to eat my time for the next little while and I don't want to hold up the game for anyone.


Hmmm. If it is a problem, I can cover with beast for team beta until/unless we get someone to fill the spot. I don't mind playing 2 guys and I already have him built up.

Lantern Lodge

Hey, heard there was an opening in this crazy awesomeness and that I may be able to get in, as such here is my race/class build idea.

Elemental Infusion Trial 7, Codename: Raijin

Race:

Type:Outsider (Native) Air (3rp)
Size:Tiny (4rp)
Speed:Average 30ft (0rp)
Languages:Standard (0rp)
Ability Scores:Tiny, Advanced (4rp), Advanced Strength (4rp)
+2str +4dex +2con +4wis +0int -2cha
Defensive Abilities:Energy resistance lightning 5 (1rp)
Offensive Abilities:Elemental Weapons (6rp), 2x extra arm (8rp)

Class:

Monk of the Four Winds 5
Stat Block
20str 17dex 12con 16wis 13int 8cha
Skills:Sense Motive 10 (12 in snake style), Acrobatics 8, Perception 10, Climb 8, Stealth 8, Swim 7
Feats:Dodge, Deflect Arrows, Snake Style, Mobility, Alertness

That's the basics of it, I'm slightly burnt out creatively now, so I'm gonna take a break and set this up properly tommarow, let me know what you think before that.


This is a generic post being sent to everyone that I am currently playing with

Hey everyone. This is Toxicroak/Gobo Horde here. Due to the flooding happening here in Calgary and me supposedly going on vacation (which may or may not happen :P) my posting for this next week might be sporadic and lighter than normal. Sorry for it, but such is life :) If you need to, feel free to take control of me and I will pop in when I can.
Thanks ^-^


@Hordshyrd I like the idea, you are going to be a tiny air elemental (essentially) who cant fly, has 4 arms and lots of elemental fist attacks.
I do have a few questions tho.
No wings? Air elemental that cant fly? its different :)
4 arms. These wont actually help you out with flurry of blows, what are you planning on using them for? Cool awesome aspect?
You aware being tiny means you have to enter the targets square to attack (and provoke lots of AOOs while you are at it :P)? Just wondering ^-^
like it so far!

As for the rest of us, how is tech support coming along? We all still in this or have some dropped out already?


I'm just waiting on the DM to get things started, still here.


I think it is tech support we are waiting for.


About monks with multiple arms:
Flurry of blows does not work in combination with natural weapons. It does however work with a two-weapon fighting IF all attacks are made with monk-weapons and/or unarmed strikes.

Creatures with multiple limbs can use multiweapon fighting in place of two-weapon fighting

A four armed monk can make a flurry + 3 of-hand strikes with monk weapons and/or unarmed strikes. But he does take the TWF (or actually MWF) penalties on top of the flurry penalty.

But yes, you will need a good tumble score or take an AoO any time you engage in melee

And yes I am waiting for tech support. I expect them to get on the problem upcoming monday. If they don't, I could always opt to simply move to a new campaign thread and dub this one inactive.

I expect to make the first in-game post on tuesday or wednessday.


I am still here.

GM:
I am still waiting on a yea or nay about the final change to Keriann Caitlan, as you said to contact you for anything more than a new feat?

Flurry of Blows wrote:

Starting at 1st level, a monk can make a flurry of blows as a full-attack action.

When doing so, he may make one additional attack, taking a –2 penalty on all of his attack rolls, as if using the Two-Weapon Fighting feat. These attacks can be any combination of unarmed strikes and attacks with a monk special weapon (he does not need to use two weapons to utilize this ability).

It functions as Two-Weapon Fighting. Using Two-Weapon Fighting in addition to Two-Weapon Fighting seems a bit odd.
