An invitation only campaign for a few friends. Start player discussions here.
Player Creation Rules. Slightly different than my other games. There are only 4 of you and no NPCs unless enlisted for story reasons, but no standard always traveling with you NPC/hirelings. No leadership feat.
1) 20 point buy, 3 traits (1 is campaign), gp starting, max hp at 1st level
2) All PRD classes (including ACG) plus all core and featured races plus android
3) Guns are emerging, technology items/feats/archetypes are not available yet. Will allow a retcon later if you wish.
4) I'm currently not using any 3PP material and I'd ask that you don't build your character with any. After that I'm always open to exceptions but expect my initial answer to be no, with justification required on your part, not mine.
5) Level up hps are as follows based on HD:
- d12: 1d7+5
- d10: 1d6+4
- d8: 1d5+3
- d6: 1d4+2
So I have an Arcanist made already but I am leaning towards more of a trap finding rogue with a tech desire background
Working on him now will have a better idea of which looks fun in a few
Hello... is this the right place? =D
I'd like to try a ninja... either elf/h-elf or maybe andriod. I like the idea of going full manga geek out! Would be using the Against the Technic League background trait.
Other option is a dwarf Foehammer fighter... hammer specialist, very tanky. Would use the Skymetal Smith background.
I'd prefer the ninja, as long as its not too much overlap with Kam's rogue idea. Mine would definitely be less mech/trappy and more stealth/attack.
Thanks for the invite Tike.
I'm thinking wizard going technomancer. I'll post something soon.
Might be some overlap with the ninja, I will also look at maybe a Slayer since you killed off Skulls, I was looking forward to playing him
Where is the handbook for this game? I looked but I didn't see it, is it something I have to order?
Also, I will allow significant feat, trait, skill retrain after technology is fully introduced, but no class/stat rework. Probably around level 4 or 5.

I am thinking that I may want to go with one of the bard/druid options. The Blight druid is probably leading the pack. thoughts?
He'd be surrounded by a foul miasma.

I am working on making a Investigator now, not sure if I will go with the Steel Hound or not, but I am leaning pretty heavily on at least going with the main class.
Look at the Shaman Dalamus, they could be really stupidly cool.
nomaddic -- Ninja/Stalker/Foehammer - striker/tank
Sam -- Investigator (maybe Steel Hound) -- utility trapper (range strike)
Epik -- Wizard/technomancer - arcane
Dal -- Blight Druid/Bard/Shaman - divine/arcane utility
If you go with something along these lines, may be worth Epik and Dalamus investing in stealth to make a party that moves quietly. Maybe an invis wand or scrolls later
Sorry for the delay, I am just trying to understand the land and find a character that melds. Still leaning towards the druid
We going to have any sort of front line type at all?
Dave which way are you leaning Tank or Ninja?
Ninja or stalker...
what's a stalker?
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/path-of-war/classes/stalker
How are we coming on character development ... anyone close ... anyone still on the fence?
How about traits ... rather not have everyone have the same campaign one, so list which one you want.
Early draft of a Diviner who will go Technomancer. I went with the "Local Ties" trait since it easily ties with an arcane background, but "Against the Technic League" is also viable.
Charlie, can you send me the Hero Lab file of your character so I can avoid rebuilding it?

Of note, for the first adventure, Androffan will still require a linguistics check to decipher. Without Androffan, the DC is doubled. Later on, after a certain point in the adventure, you'll be able to use it like any other language.
Same for knowledge checks relating to tech items. They will be high, maybe absurdly so near the early points of the adventure and as you learn more, they will go down.
Consider why your character is in Torch and what your relationship is with the other characters. You'll be starting this adventure already knowing each other: friends, family, coworkers etc.

So if we don't have a front line guy I can go with one of the barbarian arch types. I am trying to figure out what we actually need.
Note, the 3 traits brings up a warning in Hero Lab... had to add an additional trait on the Adjust tab to clear it.
Average starting gold, or max?

This forum avatar is a bit extreme, but the rest kinda stink. He actually looks mostly human, not like a skin-less terminator. Think Data from ST:NG, but less dorky. Actually, probably more like Roy from Blade Runner... but less albino.
Average

Dalamus, I think you can make a front line type out of the Blight Druid. The auto sickening of adjacent enemies is powerful for melee. Beef up his str and con and I think he could be a viable tank. Plus he provides the divine which we also need.
I say go for it.
The stalker hero lab dump doesn't have your known or readied maneuvers. You have those handy?
You are a nethys follower?
-Posted with Wayfinder
Yeah, I'm still pondering the background, but I figured he'd have a tight spiritual bond with Nethys since he was given life through magic.
I have the maneuvers picked, but not readied yet.
Disturbing Blow
Dizzying Venom Prana
Flurry Strike
Ghost Hunting Blow
Offensive Roll
Sting of the Rattler
Stance: Body of the Night
I can send you the character file, if you like.
Sidebar - I've been trying to figure out how to get HeroLab to display separate weapon sets... for example, thrown dagger. I can only get it to show up in melee on the statblock.
Ok back from camping, sadly 16 year old son had a party while we were gone so I am currently dealing with that. Tike I will get this completed ASAP, hopefully tonight.

Add everything you want as equipment sets, should replace the standard ones.

Saw that, but still can't get dagger to show up as ranged.
I did ... make sure u select ranged on the drop down

Tike. I need some clarity on the character creation. We are making 1st level characters, correct?
If that is true, then can you explain this part of your character creation rules. This just doesn't make any sense to me.
5) Level up hps are as follows based on HD:
d12: 1d7+5
d10: 1d6+4
d8: 1d5+3
d6: 1d4+2
It's for the future when you do roll hps. Probably not terribly clear.
-Posted with Wayfinder
Tike I will finish up my character tomorrow and get him to you, just been really busy.
OK, I think Sam is almost done with his, too and then we can get started!
Mostly done. Hate the icon but sadly Dave took the cool one...jerk
Androids do look human, BTW
-Posted with Wayfinder
Human or any race? Do they know they are androids?
Human. They may or may not know. Up to you. Won't have any idea how they were created, regardless.
-Posted with Wayfinder
Kovax and Ridic (Dalamus' character) are almost done. Let's get the 4th profile and have everyone check in on Gameplay.
You all need to decide how you know each other ... develop a bit of background together. We assume you're together at the beginning of the adventure ... in a bar, of course.
Kam already failing at reading directions. Roll d20.
-Posted with Wayfinder
Concerning our background, one common thread could be Khonnir Baine. He is a local expert on technology. We all have an interest in technology for one reason or another. Perhaps he is the one whom introduces us.
Ok....My avatar is ready, and my character is pretty much there.
As for how we met/know each other. I ws the crazy drunk Druid kicking everyones ass in the bar, and you guys were able to calm em down for fear that you were next! I am one bad ass gay druid!! lol
Another android... =/
Avatar updated... still got the tech mask, but less Terminator. Rough background below:
Razorend was created in Torch more than two decades ago, designed by a secretive splinter cabal of the Technic League. His creators were attempting to engineer the perfect assassin, programming in a wide array of killing techniques plumbed from sources such as the Red Mantis, dervishes of Katapesh, and ninja tongs from Minkai. Unfortunately for them, this mix of volatile knowledge also bred a mean independent streak. Despite a decade of "training", Razorend (at the time designated "HK-77A") would not come to heel. Before the League engineers decided to terminate the project, and their creation, Razorend broke free and fled into the city streets.
In the years since, Razorend has done his best to hide his true identity, often wearing a mask in public. He was created to be a loner, and trust is very difficult to give, even to those companions he's known for the last few months. He has shared his history with precisely no one. Instead of investing in lasting relationships, he would just cut ties and move on. More recently, he has come to grips with the fact that if he wants to thrive, not only just survive, he must grow those bonds.
He has developed into a devout worshiper of Nethys. His creators taught little to nothing of divine beings, but once free, he eventually learned of the god of magic. He believes his life force, or soul even, is born of magic and thus from Nethys. He prays to Nethys daily, and invokes his name often.
Razorend has managed to keep a living wage by offering his skills to those in need... sometimes as a thug, or as a burglar, even a bodyguard. These odd jobs have all been lacking, and he yearns for a more significant calling. His hate is pinpoint focused against the Technic League and those who enslave other androids. He refuses to work for them or their proxies, and when able, will go out of his way to sabotage their plans.
Kovax doesn't know who he is. He woke naked on a beach almost 5 years ago and has been searching for answers ever since. He has heard of strange going ons in Torch, of the ancient ruins all around Numeria and the whispers of a group known as the Technic League. He has strange markings all over his body that seem to match markings he has found in the ruins in this part of the world.
He is in love with technology and seems to have a knack for finding rare and unique pieces in his explorations. He is currently working on repairing a large rifle firearm he found in one of his searches, he thinks he has managed to get it to work, no one else seems to think it's all that safe but it hasn't blow up on him yet.
He has formed a friendship with one of the local tech hounds Khonnir Baine and has met with him many times to go over pieces he has found in his searches. Together they have discovered many unique and exciting things.
He is driven by a desire to know who he is, what his purpose is and where he comes from. Everything he does is in the hopes of finding those answers.
Also, we need player jobs:
Quartermaster: keeping track of mad loots ...
Chronicler: keeping track of quests AND XP
Timekeeper: keeping track of time (big picture ... what hour/time of day) and weather.
Note, I'll be actually giving XP in this AP for encounters, traps and the like. XP will be given out as a per individual breakout, but you should be able to keep track of it as a party (i.e. everyone will have the same individual breakout .. no one will earn XP on their own separate from the rest of the party)
Brad: post in gameplay soonest.
You had me at mad loots. I'll take Quartermaster.
I will timekeeper
