Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

Hello! Heard you folks need a healer. I got one of those. But he's a dwarf. Is that a problem? :)

And all these names I recognize easily. This is an old school lot right here.

I will say I'm a bit leery of that Zeladiel character though. My guess is he's nothing but trouble. Is he any relation to Braddon? ;)

Anyhoo, if you folks don't mind me joining this ragtag band I'd be willing to roll in this one. Should be fun.


Hi Javell. Welcome.

I've seen your name around these boards for a long time but I don't believe I've ever had the pleasure to be in a game with you (amazingly enough).

If we're willing to hang around with a gnoll, a dwarf shouldn't be a problem.


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

You know you're right, I don't think we have. Did you have a different avatar at one point in the past? It's highly possible I could be thinking about another player. Just curious really.

Heck no! Gnoll, giant, dragon, it's all good. (Well, maybe not giant and dragon. That would probably be a bit much) ;)


Hello and welcome Javell.

A dwarf cleric is fine. Worshipping Sarenrae or Abadar are the most appropriate for the setting but really any good or neutral god is OK.

We are half way through chapter 3 of the AP so the character will be 7th level with 29,500 GP worth of gear. Feel free to make what you want, the character you are replacing was a specialised healer but you don't need to be quite so rigid. With two barbarians and a melee focused inquisitor the party does have melee combat pretty much covered. An evoker wizard rounds out the group so general divine caster really is the niche.

Once you have something fleshed out we will have a think about how to work you into the party. Unfortunately the group is in rather a paranoid state about a shapechanging genie that keeps trying to mess with them and steal their stuff so introductions might be a bit delicate.

I've had a couple different avatars over the years, but the name has always been the same.

Welcome dwarf! Glad to see you joining. No concerns from the ex slave Gnoll in having a bearded one in the group.


No gnomes!

Actually as far as a deity goes, gonna roll with Torag if that's cool. I know it totally doesn't fit but that's partly the reason I like it. I like different. :)

Also, can I scratch choosing a Campaign trait? At this point, they all seem moot and none of them really fit. If necessary, though, I can roll with one. No biggie.


Yeah Torag is fine, we'll make it work.

Any two traits are fine. Oh and it was a 20 point initial build.


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

Sorry it's taking so long. Building a 7th level character and having to choose spells is a mental beat down. Man Paizo has about a billion spells to choose from - and that's just 1st level I'm talking about. :P

Here's the gist of him: Emercy

Should be pretty much done mechanics wise(I hope. I do tend to miss stuff though). Still working on the Backstory bit. That's a bit tougher mainly due to the fact that it is my greatest weakness when it comes to building pc's. I freely admit it's just not a gift I possess.

Glad to have you on board. Looking forward to even more gaming with you.

:-D

Sorry I haven't had a chance to sort out equipment.
From Shiz we got bracers of armour + 3, ring of protection + 2, cloak of resistance + 1, longspear +1 of shocking.
And the Merchant paid us 1000gp.

Zeladiel is sitting pretty on over 35,000gp of stuff already. And I don't see anyone else taking those Bracers +3. Even if the ring of lesser fire protection is party treasure, that's 12,000gp Zeladiel is wearing that will stop him burning.
So I won't be buying any stuff, and you guys may even want to go through my inventory and sell some stuff.

That said, I would like to copy some spells, which will cost some gold.
Who is sharing in that 1000gp and
Khalid, did I ever pay you back that 175gp?

I do not recall. That being said I'm not sure I really care either.

Hm, Nuveril claimed that ring here when we were divvying up loot and "paid" for it at the time, though I see that Zeladiel had said he put it on here, after identifying it.

If Zeladiel wants it, I'll have to do shopping for Nuveril.

Crunch looks pretty good, just a few issues I'll note later.

In terms of background the big issue is why he is in Katapesh. Does he live there, is he a visitor etc.

In terms of tie-ins to existing characters (which will help with introducing him) here are some possible options to consider:

1. Leveraging his master merchant trait, he is a family friend of Zeladiel's who were local merchants before they ran afoul of a gnoll raiding party.

2. He is a client of Rayhan's the diviner who the party are currently visiting with. He may know Rayhan well under 1 also.

3. He is a contemporary or ally of the church of Sarenrae and knows Linah (the PC cleric of the leaving player) and/or Khalid (the PC inquisitor of Sarenrae). Perhaps he's an anti-slavery crusader and they know him that way.

These all give at least some of the party reasons to trust him which will be an advantage.


Crunch issues for Emercy.

- Do you want to just note that his init is +1 with his ioun stone out, +2 otherwise.
- AC doesn't include his nat armour bonus.
- Do you want to just note his domain AC bonus is a resistance bonus.
- Not sure you can actually take extra channel twice. Most of the extra x feats specify you can but looking at patherfinder srd it doesn't say this for extra channel.
- HP you can take the average plus 1 as you've done or roll if you feel lucky.
- Perception is +1 for trait bonus.
- Extra language suggest you take Kelishite.

There is no doubt in my mind that you are correct and that I have erred.

It shall be removed from my character sheet post haste... and likely replaced with those Bracers of Armour +3 :-)

I figured there were gonna be mechanical issues.

Will do on the initiative. Did forget about the nat armor.

Gotcha on the resistance.

You know, I did not know you couldn't take it twice. Will get that fixed. It's cool so now I can go with another feat and not feel guilty about not picking up more channels. Win!

Totally overlooked the trait bonus.

Kelishite, got it. I really didn't know what to roll with so I just went with the old school language.

Lol!


So Rayhan's offer is out there. Are you guys going to take him up on accomodations and so some checking at the docks or do something else.

Sovereign Court

HP: 49/49 AC: 22 Init: +6 Kelishite Human Inquisitor 7

Probably the best option.


If I have learned nothing else from Paizo APs, if we are set to be attacked while staying in the city, we will be attacked, whether we're in the inn, the wizard's house, the king's bedroom, or a massive secret vault buried sixty feet below the ground. If we stay at Rayhan's, we at least have the satisfaction of inconveniencing him.


Javell, any thoughts on background for Emercy?


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

Yeah still working on it. Roughly I can tell you he is currently in an inn in Katapesh heading for the market in the morning.


Okay dokey. Will wait and see but do have a think yourself about how he might be introduced to the party.


I seem to recall Nuveril having a dislike of sleeping inside. She'll likely claim the shed; sleeping on the roof is tempting from a cinematic standpoint, but it would have the same "no way out" drawback as the house.


Sorry for the delay goods, looking to go through Javell's background and update tonight.


hp 44/44; AC 17; Init +5 Male Elf Wizard (Evoker) 7

So very sorry. Away on holidays. Life has been busy busy busy.
So, my job is being upgraded and advertised. So I've spent the week before going on holidays applying for it. If I don't get it, I'll get shifted elsewhere, but I'd like to get it, so busy. Then I went on holidays to New Zealand for PaizoCon Oz. Seriously.
Apologies for not warning everyone.
Posting will continue to be erratic until Nov 1 while my lovely and I visit our cousins across the ditch. (We do not have actual cousins here... :-)


hp 44/44; AC 17; Init +5 Male Elf Wizard (Evoker) 7

Well, I'm back. Now all we have to do is find Dan again. :-/


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

I think I killed y'all's game, folks. I promise that was not my intention. You were doing fine 'til I rolled in here. :P


hp 44/44; AC 17; Init +5 Male Elf Wizard (Evoker) 7

Dan can be somewhat busy, but it does look grim.
