DM Voice's Envoy of Geb - An Undead Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master Mark Sweetman

Gathroc - yeah, still a bit much for my liking.

The concept behind the blade of darkness would be to add an ability for you to store 'soul points' in the weapon. You'd get the points through crit confirms or killing blows, and can then use the points for effects much the same as ki points or the like.

Is that snippet of interest? - if so I can splat up something more tangible later.

Haha, that's awesome and very similar to something I did for my vampire the masquerade conversion.

Paging Dr Daemon and Mr Gabriel - please report to the OR.

Paging Dr Daemon and Mr Gabriel - please report to the OR.

Really sorry about that, I have been using my sweetmates internet for the better part of 6 mo and he is moving out now, so he killed his interwebs, effectively killing mine. Today is the first day I have been able to get over to a friends to check on stuff in about 4 days.

No worries however I should now be back to my once a day posts.

Going to boons, I am interested in the boost to one of my spellcasting classes by 3, it would probably make more sense backstory wise to boost cleric spells since that is my 'primary' class. I feel it would be more beneficial overall to boost my wizard side however. Expanding that train of thought, I don't have my books so I can't double check right this min but I think that would give me access to permancy as a spell, what are your feelings on the use of it, ie permant bull strength to boost my lagging strength score?

Heh - NP Daemon. I'd be ok with an item that allowed you to switch between boosting one side or the other when you prepped spells each day, so you could retain flexibility.

As to Permenancy and spells - I am open to it in a controlled fashion. However according to PRD, Bulls Strength isn't a legal permanency target without DM Fiat.... however I have no problems with you casting it on yourself with a 5k gp cost sink.

Cool, so are we talking an item with a high level cleric and wizard soul bound to that I have to use while preparing spells in the morning or is this going to be a tome that has secret knowledge?

Which would you prefer?

Whichever is easier for you and wont detract from the game.

Puts a slight smile upon his benevolently evil visage... I haz an idea.

Voiceless,
How are we doing HP?

Also,
What was the ruling on favored class bonuses? Are we using them when we level or not?

HP is the same as it was for character generation (half round up), and the ruling on favored class from memory was for class levels only - and you have the options available from your progenitor race.

I realized that I forgot to roll HD. 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Ignac's New Bardiche:

+4 Keen Thundering Bardiche (plus secret stuff under DM control for now)

Sweet, I'll modify my character sheet to show the changes.

Also, I'm caught between selling my previous weapon and kepeing it as a backup. I'm edging towards keeping it as a backup, unless the party needs money, someone else wants it, or my new weapon asks that it be gotten rid of.

Ah, weapon jealousy :-P

Gabriel just needs to lobby going after the werewolves so he can get a more pimped out wagon.

That's what I was thinking, myself. We can kill a few and get you some bad-ass Werewolf claw, and keep your other vessel for when you need to be sneaky.

The big werewolf sounds look a perfect target; we could always try sending them into disarray by taking out the leader...

...not to mention Gabriel would not mind one of his hands :-D

Point to remember if you chase after the were-guys... in my world, it's not just human sized creatures that get lycanthropy...

And no worries on the post monster eating your 're-birth', happens to the best of us :P

Heh. I am totally expecting it to be at least some sort of giant :-)

I did wonder a bit about why the main thread was 'quiet', but put it down to start-of-the-year slowing... :-/

I am going to field some plans for my character and update my spell list sometime this weekend hopefully, I have a bit of time.

Hey Voice, my friend is trying to get started with PBPs. Would you be willing to accept him if he made an interesting character?

Ignac - I'm open to it, though will need to think it through a bit. Is he specifically interested in this one?

Also, is he only new to PbPs? - ie. has he got some pathfinder / 3.5 under his belt? Reason for asking is that as a high-level PbP this might be a steep learning curve if he doesn't have prior experience.

He was looking over my PBPs and asked if any had openings, and I remembered that a few people dropped from this one. We tried an IRL undead game before, but it degenerated, so he saw this and got interested.

He's got plenty of both.

We used to play high-level gestalt, so he should be able to get this just fine. He's been resisting PBPs until our mutual friend started one on here and we got into it. Since then, he's been curious about others.

Yeah - we're at 5 at present, and I think I could easily handle 6.

First step would be ask him to pop into this OOC and say hi. Then we can start seeing what might sit well with him and the rest of the group.

Not a problem.

Hello Voice and co, I'm Ignac's buddy.
Very new to PbP's on the Paizo boards, but I've done plenty of 3.5 and pathfinder (DnD and RP were kinda my life from 11-15)
Like he said, I'm interested in joining a PbP to kind of just...learn how to do an RP thread that involves dice.
If you don't mind, I'm going to go ahead and read through the gameplay and recruitment (for char gen rules) to get a feel for your campaign.
Looking forward to losing my life and becoming part of Geb :)

Heh - Hathin says hi... though he still wants to eat your pig :P

Let me know when you've started getting an idea of what sort of character you might like to try.

I'll conjure you an illusory pig on a silver platter :P

Well as of right now, I'm thinking of vampire of some nature.
In Classic Horrors Revisited there's Ancient Youth and Noble Dead vampires, and those drew my attention. If not those, then standard Vampire. Keep in mind, both of those special vampire types do NOT have a listed CR adjustment as far as I'm seeing, so that's something of note.
Class wise, I believe I'd like to try out Magus. Never even considered touching Magus until now.

Magus is a lot of fun, I am playing a Kensai Magus in another of Voiceless' games. If you want any pointers let me know.

Also, those two variants are +0 to their CR.

Information on Geb

I'm not that picky about background, as long as you've a reasonably defined personality that's fine with me.

You will be in service to a Ravener (Golarion's Dracolich) called the Shadow Claw. Recently made a Blood Lord, though that status is currently under threat.

Oh, and I can post a full character build out if you'd like :) worked on it all night and I'm eager to show my cards.

Full build would be good to see :)

Here's what we're looking at:

Actually...In hindsight...I want to take out Spell Focus for another Arcane Pool...putting my pool per day at 14.
If edits are okay now, I'd like to pop that on there :)

Raktavarna as familiar is fine - I actually just handed one out in one of the other PbPs I'm DMing here as well so I'm familiar with the familiar...

Leadership as a general rule I'm fairly leery of - and there are other ways to pick up followers (such as the Shadow Claw's rent-a-wraith service).

When you update to the profile, I like to see basic descriptions of each ability - doesn't need to be the full text, just showing what the mechanical impact is to the game.

For spells, retroactive is fine - and you can buy anything you want with your wealth to scribe in too.

Haven't had a chance to look over in full - and probably won't get to for a day or two. There'll be a little delay before I can bring you in to the PbP organically anyway.

So, shall I do wealth as per the recruitment thread's post, or is there a post that I missed that gave clear equipment guidelines?
Also, how would you care for HP to taken care of? Rolled, average round up, round down, or average 4.5 as I've done?

HP are either rolled or you take average round up - your choice, though you are stuck with the results of what you choose.

Wealth will be as per 11th level character. The others will be a bit ahead of you, but not too much.

If I might ask to make minor tweaks, I'd like to drop 5 ranks of Stealth for 5 ranks of Perform Dance (This is NOT for dervish dance!), and to drop Spell Focus: Evocation for another Extra Arcane Pool.

For HP, I'll go with average, rounded up, for 5hp per HD, as I never have great luck with HD.
11th is 82,000g, keyed in and spending :)

Grigore can hardly hold back his laughter at the thought of the beautiful dancing he will share with Geb.

I hope that your foes have more than enough blood for me, Voice. It would be most unsightly if I were to have to go out of my way to feed again.
Ready for your look-see, boss man :)

Greetings to the dead here in the Crypt, I hope that I can bring a bit of crimson magic to your world. I've read essentially your entire game, and you guys are awesome :) I would thoroughly enjoy playing with all of you.

Heh - that's a fair bit of reading ;)

Chuck up a dot on the main thread with Grigore so that the campaign shows up in your tracker.

Also - for the other players, as we've negotiated about 1500 posts I thought a short survey would be in order if you don't mind:

1. What has been your favorite part of the PbP so far?

2. What has been your least favorite part of the PbP so far?

3. What do I need to do better?

4. Any other comments?

1. I never get to play an evil character, and this PbP has given me an opportunity to play a very specific kind of Evil. Undead. Specifically, though, I'd have to say that any time we've been able to really plan things, like right now, I have fun tactically strategizing.

2. Nothing I can think of really bothered me.

3. Uhh....

4. Hmmmm....Good Job.

Join me and live forever!!

I'm already going to live forever.
