Chimera Cove lies at the southern tip of a rocky and storm-swept cape projecting into the Inner Sea, in a no-man’s-land between the great nations of Cheliax and Andoran. The three islands sitting just off shore do little to block the sea’s relentless swells, but they do effectively anchor the persistent coastal fog, making local navigation perilous. The fishermen who settled this grim seashore decades ago have a knack for maneuvering their catboats to and from their spindly docks, but no merchant ships dare use the treacherous cove, even with a launch. Few outsiders find the settlement’s steady decline in recent years surprising, wondering only at why the place was ever founded.
This is the private recruitment thread for Treasure of Chimera Cove.
I was asked to run a one shot game that featured characters from the ACG, so here's the private recruitment page. Sorry this particular game already filled. I would like to sample the playability of classes to see if they are over/underpowered.
Point Buy 20, plus your 4th level Stat bonus
No score below a 10, before racial adjustment.
Races: Core only
Classes: ACG only
Traits: 1 trait from the APG
Everyone’s base begins: At Level 6. Full HD for level 1 and 2, roll for levels 3 - 6. Reroll 1's.
Starting wealth: 16,000 gp. You can have no more than 5000 GP in any one item.
Alignment: No real alignment restrictions, except you must work well together.
Ability scores and Skills: Explain how you arrive at your ability scores and skill totals. This makes it easy for me, so I do not have to deconstructive builds.
I would like this to be relatively fast paced game especially since it is limited to this one shot.
Bags the Warpriest! working on a sheet now.
Everyone post your class so the other know what who is involved.
Also, disclose your time zone, I'm in eastern.
I'll get the discussion and Game thread open soon. I won't start posting substance in the game till tomorrow, so everyone can get their character built.
HP rolls.
Oh yeah, dice love me.
Brawler here. Mountain Time US.
If no one minds, I'll fill the last slot with whatever "skill/spell-set" rounds us out.
The last player is also from the void game : Capt Johnson. He's in the GMT timezone, so he may not log on until a bit later.
Hello Gerard,

Dex 10 (0)
Con 14 (5 points)
Int 10 (0)
Wis 14 (5 points)
Cha 14 (5 points)
Pirate themed, ships and such?
Crap. I'm gonna be heavy!
Rough Build but I may change feats.
Champion of The Faith Warpriest
1-Aura, Blessings (Good,Destruction), focus weapon: Bastard Sword, orisons, sacred weapon (Good aligned), Fey Touched, Desperate Battler
2-Fervor 1d6
3-Detect EvilPower Attack
4-Smite Evil 1/day
5-Fervor 2d6, Divine Protection
6-Vital Strike
Basically I am thinking a Heavy Armor and Mountain of HP Tank.
Fey Touched means when I use Fevor to LOH I get 2d6+4hp
Divine Protection adds CHA to saves (Currently F9/R4/W9 with no gear)
Combat wise is pretty standard Wpn Fcs: Bastard Sword, Desperate Battler to up my to hit.
Power Attack, and Vital Strike means Roll 2d10+6 for damage
FYI: you can have up to 6000 in one item.
It is seacoast, cove, 3 islands, no sailor skill required but there will be small rowboat(s)
Hi all, I'm thinking of making an Arcanist. I'm probably going to go for battlefield control, but I'm not sure yet how exactly I want to build him.

I opened up the discussion and gamethread. No rush.
I unfortunately do have to sleep now.
8.30am just finished night shift. I will be awake in 8 hours and will finish gear and char sheet tonight.
As I build this, the class definitely looks like a more tanky, less damaging inquisitor. We'll see how it plays.
Since we have several martial characters, I'm curious to see how effective Threatening Illusion + Effortless Trickery is, especially since Arcanists can pump the DCs up quite high. Should make for some interesting RP opportunities since illusions are so flexible.
I've yet to deck him out with mundane gear, and I'm probably missing some important utility things from his spell book. I'll sort that out tomorrow.

So far the group consists of:
Warpriest
Brawler
Arcanist
With a Will save of +9 before gear the enchantment stuff should not be an issue for Xavier.
Note: With a 15 wisdom he is not an offensive caster. So he will focus on buffing and condition removal.
I've made an alias for Quiznab. Still got some more work to do to on it however (writing a background for one thing).
Trying to identify the hole... range/archer? traps/skills?
Mysterious Avenger w/scorpion whips and two-weapon fighting (remember that scene at the end of Underworld)... Combat Patrol and get trip happy. Cool, but very little damage output themselves.
Over-sized Large Crossbow & Gravity Bow (magic) combo for 3d8.
Crap. I'm gonna be heavy!...
He ain't heavy, he's my brother...

Looks like the skill monkey is needed.
Looks like another Nisroc... a sibling in another part of the world (or one that knows them).
So, in this book... that's an Investigator?
Half-Orc Investigator?
Oversized Large Crossbow (-2 to Hit), etc... Everybody needs a "BOOM Stick!
Wife calling!
As a suggestion, when considering the ACG classes, look over the archetypes. From my (admittedly fairly light outside of certain classes) perusal the archetypes often offer a substantial boost.
DUUUUDE!
With a war priest and brawler in the group you TOTALLY have to play a SKALD!
4 skills per level is ok, plus you get BARDIC KNOWLEDGE! Free skill points.
On top of that you can dish out FREAKIN RAAAAAGE!
Plus you know, Xavier is not a very good healer. So sharing a wand would be awesome.
I'd be more than happy to throw in on either a wand of infernal healing or wand of CLW. The former is more cost effective per HP, but is fairly worthless in combat.
Skalds look to be quite interesting. Give the party rage, reckless abandon and superstion? That could be good! Spell Kenning is a nice idea too.
Rage means more melee... And, I've NEVER been into Bards.
You don't need buffs anyway!
The day I ever say "I don't need buffs" will be when hell freezes over.
And here I thought Gerard would make a slayer. The class looks good though. Makes a damn nice TWF'r.
I have one wand of CLW.
Be warned everyone, I rarely heal people in combat.
My last 2 divine casters were a Sacred Servant Paladin and an Inquisitor.
Gerard so what did you decide on?
Looks like an over-sized, Large +1 Repeating Heavy Crossbow wielding Elven Investigator.

I have to read up on Alchemy/Extracts, but he's coming together... I'll try to finish up ASAP.
What's the timespan for the whole module? Hours, days, weeks? Most modules take you through 2-3 levels?
One day maybe two/three once you get to the site.
You may want to pick up a rank in sailor. I read a bit deeper into how the water plays into the game. One person should have sailor.
