So we are posting now in the gameplay thread?


You 'may' post into gameplay though make sure that you have everything in your character sheet that you might need. I am looking over each player's character sheet right now and making notes about adjustments needed.

Make sure to have a reason for your character on Pandora and include it in your background story.

Either link the description or spoiler what the contents of any kit you might have in your possession, as soon as it is adjusted you will need to make comments in your character sheet as needed.

Taunk, I will go over your sheet now.


Let me know how it goes.

In the meantime I'll start sorting out an introductory post.


Taunk:
Blaskus, where is it or how close to Pandora? Give me some more background! :)

Suggestions on the aspects of the Burnout Virus? Of course only a once a day Fort save. What would be the damage and other effects of it? Perhaps putting a 'rage' ability on the host once per day, though the save need to be done again after the 5 round use. Each use would increase the DC, normally you would not be able to do this but with Susano it is possible. Will this be your bonus ability?

Also what would be another ability you might want for him?

Do you really think Defender of the Society would work well with this character especially with Sacred Tattoos?

You have already given the links to everything, though to help organize just a bit more in 'Special Abilities/Class Abilities' I would label racial abilities, traits, Aegis abilities, and Fighter (Brawler) abilities.

Great job labeling the feats when you selected them!

You might want to get a few potions of CLWs, definitely use all that cash!

You have power points down but not the possible abilities, just leaving those as the link?

Is the name Susano from 'Akame ga Kill'? Just asking.

Michel Tam:
I notice not much has changed from the other game.

Please do conform to vital and skill information.
Your Knowledge skills probably could be condensed to just Knowledge +8.

Change your gear to reflect 3,000 gp. I would suggest bringing in a MC weapon.

Do you have some background information about your greater kitsume? Borderlands flavor?

Your bonus languages are what exactly?

Please explain at what levels you attained your feats.

You should either link the traits or keep the flavor text with them.

Why is balto considered your valet?

*Edited for Michel


Awesome! I'll figure out an intro post and await my sheet audit!


GM:

  • Unfortunately I cannot find any sort of map of the Borderlands universe that will help me describe it in a concrete manner. Regardless, Blaskus is one of the Core Worlds alongside such planets as Promethea, EDEN-6, and Athenas. Pandora, on the other hand, is a Border World and is presumably some distance away (though with no indication of just how far that may be).

  • Well in most cases the Burnout Virus renders the victim feverish and unable to move. In those rare cases where the effects could be considered beneficial the victim is instead filled with a false sense of vigor and strength while their body tears itself apart.

    So perhaps in those circumstances the infected gains an immunity to pain effects, reduction of non-lethal damage, perhaps the ability to reduce or ignore fatigue? Maybe even a small bonus to strength? The cost being a CON penalty with each failed save until death to represent the body destroying itself through overexertion.

    I didn't really intend for it to be my special ability especially since we already have Barbarians and multiple rage-based characters would be redundant. Earlier in the thread I proposed some special abilities HERE. If none of those work let me know and I can try and work out something different.

  • Well I am on a mission to save my planet from the effects of a lethal virus, so I'd say I'm a "Defender of the Society" in some sense. I also don't see how it conflicts with Sacred Tattoos. I can still change it if you want. Shield Bearer would be my alternate, although you would have to approve letting me use it even though I'm not an Ulfen. Maybe having it count as a Combat trait instead?

  • I bought some more items

  • I have no Psionic Powers and nothing to spend Power Points on until level 4. Nothing I can really link to. Sorry.

  • Nah. Hakumen from BlazBlue.

  • Stitches would be planetside, preferably near the following things:
    >A reliable source of food
    >A relatively safe place to hide/rest
    >Customers who are either unphased by lots of blood or too dumb to care.
    >Low 'shoot the rat-doctor on sight' ratio.

    I heard mention of Radiator Ridge. If that's the best place I can do that. Unless Firestone is still standing at present and Hyperion hasn't utterly ruined it yet. Whatever excuse for civilization would make it easier for the DM. :)

    If there are any questions I can work up a sheet that has links to every class option and feat I've taken. I should have a fair 'stash' of gold left (about 700-800 last I checked) but since I'm on world that should be fine for me. I will need it to make specific potions later on.


    Waiting to have my sheet reviewed before making a post


    Sorry, been rather busy, I'll get right on that as it is finally my day off,
    Could you explain your statement on being a valet?
    As for flavor, the flavor he had in the original game is that greater kitsune are to kitsune, what noble drow are to drow and ulathirid are to the ilithid, basically a rare subgrouping of their species that are stronger, smarter, and have more magical ability than the standard members of their species, that are normally expected to rule over their lesser brethren
    Michal didn't want to have that kind of responsibility, didn't want to be cooped up in one place, and didn't like telling people what to do, and generally wasn't happy with people treating him as though he were some blessing from the gods that they had high expectations for, so as soon as he could he ran away from all that, and he enlisted with one of the company ships to go off exploring,

    Could you explain what you mean about valet?


    Taunk:

    I was hoping for some more flavor of the planet. Not needed but nice to have. Don't worry about it.

    Thanks for more confirmation on the Burnout Virus.

    I was just thinking that the way you have written Taunk's background that it could be a natural progression. Nonetheless Resolve you may have as your starting ability. Add it to your character sheet. Put the others down under a spoiler labeled, 'Possible later abilities'.

    Hakumen from BlazBlue, makes sense too! ;)

    Stitches:
    Firestone is standing and you can live there, just understand bandits 'own' it again. You can live at Radiator Ridge and that is likely the best place for you. We will have you start there as the best option for a doctor right now.

    Stitches & claptrap:
    Stitches gets one of the small ramshackle buildings in Radiator Ridge. Claptrap is making the other NPCs that are in the place. It would have a population of at most a handful of people but I am leaving that up to claptrap. There can be a small tribe of ratfolk that help protect the village and scavenge for them. Any questions? Please PM me or spoiler your response.

    Chitwick, please separate your abilities by race, specific class abilities, feats, traits, and such. Also please have a description of the not obvious abilities or a link to them.
    Also mark how much ammunition you have at the moment.
    Looks pretty good!

    Michel you have abilities in Balto's stat block that says valet, you tell me what it means. Add the flavor to your character sheet.


    Aria Stron:

    Starting from the bottom up:
    I would suggest using all your money!

    Wands are cheaper than scrolls, scrolls are cheaper than potions!

    Great background! One small adjustment though would be only a month has passed since you escaped. What class would you say Persephone has?

    What abilities has she developed as a Siren?

    You might want to list the spells with the type of save and DCs.

    Would you please label the feats with when they were taken. 1st, 3rd, bonus, etc.

    Looks good!

    Everyone please have a description of your character in your Alias. Also keep record of any changes that might happen and keep a listing of clothing and gear on your person. Don't forget to have essential items!

    Duke Deluca:

    Great descriptions for his abilities!
    Would you please label the feats with when they were taken... F1 - Fighter bonus feat at 1st level, Human bonus feat, etc.

    Duke is human right? What special kind of ability would you give him?

    Looks pretty good!

    Velden:

    Looks pretty good as always!

    A wand would be cheaper than potions or scrolls.

    I would suggest using most of your money! You know how often finding a merchant can be, then again I plan on having vending machines more often.


    Anyone else that I am missing?


    Valet as in the familiar archetype, it gives up certain familiar abilities, for certain other ones
    Anyone who has a familiar can give their familiar said archetypes,
    There used to be only around four, but with the addition of the familiar folio there's around 12-15

    There are still only four or five animal companion archetypes though.

    As for flavor, I figured the archetype meshed with the little bit of backstory I gave for him, in that he's the spirit animal that came to him during his coming of age ceromony
    Balto is supposed to be something of a guide and eternal companion (unless he gets killed of course, which would kinda just for Michal)


    This is the (recycled) alias for my Half-Ogre Monk/Druid - from Rigor Rictus. The Alias I was using last time (York), has been recycled into another game.

    Obviously Rotann is not yet complete, but I'm working on it.

    Ah ok, I have not seen them but I trust you. Its alright.

    Keep me appraised Rigor.


    Dropping out to run a Rifts game, because...that's a thing, enjoy your game y'all, it's such a rad concept.

    Oh okay. Well if the bandits wouldn't shoot at me I'd have stayed there. But since they're bandits, and I know they would, I'd move over to Radiator Ridge. I would probably work out of there using one of the huts as my 'practice', though I would also be wary of anyone walking in carrying a lot of weapons. Unless they also happen to be wounded and in need of medical assistance.

    I won't turn a guy down for healing the first time, but after that I'm going to have to charge people. Potions cost money.

    Grand Lodge

    I took the Create Potion Feat for her, so the cost of potions is actually cheaper for her as she makes her own, which is why she has 4 each of the cure and resto potions to go on the side of her cleric spells.

    I will change the time line, that is easy enough to fix.

    In regards to what class Persephone is, I would put her to probably be a fighter class. If you wanted NPCs to be gestalt classes as well, she would be a Fighter/Barbarian.

    Siren ability - I was thinking something along the lines of a Phase Bubble. Essentially, she creates a bubble that repels attacks/attackers that come at her. (raises her AC though I'm not sure what level of +AC you would give that...) Also, prevents falling damage, as long as she activates it before hitting the ground. I was thinking the dramatic effect for it is that it has the Wings of Desna encircle her when she activates it.

    regarding label of feats: Will do :)

    Grand Lodge

    Everything is labeled now and corrected to fit everything you asked for :)


    GM:
    Thanks! I marked them as appropriate using a simple notation:

    GS is gunslinger
    F is fighter
    H is human
    blank is just natural feat progression

    Numbers are levels that I took the feats at

    Yes, Duke is just a "regular" human, like you or me!

    As far as a power goes I hadn't given it much thought. My concept was this Metalhead Marksman/Soldier extraordinaire, and I'm not quite certain what kind of unique power I could really want that is both a) interesting b) workable within my Shoot and Hit stuff field.

    Although I had envisioned him as a kind of "roadie" if you will, who has a penchant for pyrotechnics. Since I can make black powder I was going to work on creating barrels to explode and rig using my bolts - but that was more of a "what if I had time to set traps" situation and not necessarily usable outside of those specific times. It's always good to have a few giant red barrels floating around.


    Thanks everyone for making the fixes!

    Aria, good to know about the brew potions feat. Also I like the flavor of your ability and agree that would work nicely. Use per day would be 3 + wisdom modifier, and the AC boost would be +2 right now.

    The Action Skill/special ability that I have been writing about is something that your character might just develop or learn later. It may already be with your character but does not need to be. The only way to increase this ability is with Eridium and finding special someone's to infuse you with the new powers. Think Crazy Earl. ;P


    There. That should be a finished up character sheet :/
    I will go over it one last time, to be sure :)


    Redoing rolls to be in line with other players States,

    5d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 6, 1, 2) = 17 14
    5d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 1, 3, 4) = 13 10 --
    5d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 3, 2, 6) = 13 11
    5d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 4, 3, 2) = 16 11
    5d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 5, 6, 5) = 26 17
    5d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 3, 4, 3) = 21 15
    5d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 1, 5, 5) = 18 14


    Keeping originals


    What's up with the multiple accounts?


    OCD

    Silver Crusade

    yerr I'm a little OCD, Little with a really BIG "L", add to that mid level Bipolar and Dyslexia and you get someone with a silly IQ who has the social skills on/off of a Panda on Amphetamines.

    One of my best and oldest friends always tells me I have a "Rubik's Cube Personality" Sometimes it lines up and you can see the sides, but most of the time its to much of a mess to work out what the hell it is.


    LOL, that's a bit scary!
