Death of a God

Game Master TheWorg

What's wrong with the occult classes? =P

How do you feel about a non-evil necromancer who delves into the darker magic for the greater good? I know some GM's want to keep necromancy as evil only in their campaigns and that's understandable if that's how you feel.

Actually I like ideas such as this as it breaks away from one of the largest in game stereotypes ever.

finally a gm who understands the not evil necromancer arguement.

Is this thread still open? I don't play much Pathfinder anymore (stick with Dungeon World rules mostly) but I'd like to be a PC in a homebrew campaign. My vote would be to tackle the god, but the Underdark is great too.

You can check my post history for my writing styles, I'm currently DMing a couple of campaigns on these boards.

I might be interested in the death of a god, though I'd be cool with the Underdark.

Sounds great guys. Always welcoming more players. A lot of interest,but not many submissions yet.

Alright. Might as well see how the stats turn out for me!

.... Wow. That's, uh... That's some really nice spreads. This'll be a really nice character. Drow Witch time, baby. Also, in favor of a Darklands campaign.

Before I get too far in, however, I would like to ask if out and out evil characters are allowed. Would like to make a Haagenti Demoniac, in all honesty.

Sir Longears here. (Darklands campaign)

I made Narekk for a RotRL game, but I have my doubts if it will even start... the stats are a not what I rolled above (he is at a 20 point buy), if Narekk gets picked, it will be quite easy to change it.

Any thoughts about him?

I'd like to play a supporting role. An old warrior whose strength has long since failed him in years past, who now is troubled by visions of the apocalypse. His PTSD-riddled visions of battles past have given way to horrific visions of battles in the future - battles for the fate of the world itself.

So, Oracle class, Mystery is Apocalypse. May I use a third party source for my Curse if it can be found on the pathfinder SRD?

You are drowsy and afflicted by fleeting hallucinations.

Effect

You take a -5 to Perception checks and take a -2 penalty to save versus illusions. However, you are immune to sleep effects.

At 5th level, add sleep and hypnotism to your spells known.

At 10th level, add dream to your spells known.

At 15th level, add project image to your spells known.

I decided to go with an Ifrit fighter with the Lore Warden and Martial Master archetypes. (these are to vary up the abilities of the character inside and out of combat so i don't have to be a one trick pony in combat and a no trick pony out of combat)

So here is my gear roll: 5d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 4, 4, 4) = 22 x 10 = 220 gp starting wealth

I have a question though, does the alternate racial trait Efreeti Magic allow me to use it on myself or only on humanoids and ifrits that are not me?

Efreeti Magic Some ifrits inherit an efreeti ancestor's ability to magically change a creature's size. They can cast either enlarge person or reduce person (the ifrit chooses when using this ability) once per day as a spell-like ability (caster level equals the ifrit's level). The ifrit can use this ability to affect other ifrits as though they were humanoid creatures. This racial trait replaces the spell-like ability racial trait.

I'd definately enjoy the death Of a God campaign if you have room. I can post pretty much every day if needs be.

Stats
4d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 2, 4) = 13 11
4d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 1, 2) = 13 12
4d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 3, 5) = 15 14
4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 1, 4) = 14 13
4d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 6, 4) = 15 14
4d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 1, 4) = 13 12

4d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 5, 6) = 21 17
4d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 6, 5) = 23 18
4d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 5, 2) = 13 11
4d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 4, 2) = 9 8
4d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 5, 2) = 17 15
4d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 6, 3) = 16 13

I'll take set1 since I'd like to avoid an overpowered character.

Threeshades's submission, I'd like to enter the Death of a God campaign.

My fluff has yet to be written. Crunchy parts in my profile.

Lol k what she said

gold: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 4, 2) = 12 x 10=120

Ew below average. Updating character sheet now, check my profile for early fluff.

Sounds great guys. Always welcoming more players. A lot of interest,but not many submissions yet.

They're not all complete, but there's definitely more submissions now (almost enough complete to field the Underdark party). When's your deadline, GM TPK?

Well that first one's just swell; let's go with that! Gonna pour over race/class combinations and pop back in with more later.

Introducing Kuzu Koryo, an older character that never really saw much action at the table, so here we are I guess.

She is a Kitsune Rogue(Kitsune Trickster) with a sentient mask that compels her to greater acts of daring and heroism. Her alter ego is the "Autumn Spectre".

I'd like to play a supporting role. An old warrior whose strength has long since failed him in years past, who now is troubled by visions of the apocalypse. His PTSD-riddled visions of battles past have given way to horrific visions of battles in the future - battles for the fate of the world itself.

And my rolls are:

I'll take set 2 for my character, assuming I'm accepted. 1 more total stat, and it'll make sense to only have 8 strength, being the weak old man that I am.

I am definitely interested in the Darklands campaign (I'm assuming that's what you meant as opposed to Underdark). Let's see how the dice treat me.

Set 1:
4d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 5, 3) = 15 13
4d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 1, 3) = 7 6
4d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 1, 4) = 10 9
4d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 2, 2) = 15 13
4d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 2, 6) = 14 13
4d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 3, 2) = 11 10

Set 2:
4d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 1, 2) = 10 9
4d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 4, 5) = 11 10
4d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 5, 6) = 16 15
4d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 2, 4) = 18 16
4d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 2, 1) = 13 12
4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 4, 1) = 14 13

I might toy around with that second set. I've got a hankering to play an archer of some sort, just not quite sure which flavor. Ranger or Inquisitor probably.

Would you be willing to entertain the idea of any interesting Darklands-themed companions? Furthermore, is this the type of game that starts on the surface and heads into the Darklands (a la Second Darkness) or a game that takes place entirely below the surface (a la Throne of Night)?

Would anyone like to have a shared backstory? My character is a wizened soldier-turned-prophet of doom currently living in Absalom. This is DM Mooshybooshy by the way.

Well Felstad, I wouldn't mind but how to link a wizened soldier and a pirate / ex-con

I spend my days as a beggar (deliberately starting with the minimum starting gold), warning everyone who will listen of the coming apocalypse. Sometimes I'm lucid, other times it seems like I'm talking to someone who isn't there. This kind of person can invite abuse from the cruel. Maybe you stepped in and defended me when I was being assaulted in the street?

I'll take set 2 for my character, assuming I'm accepted. 1 more total stat, and it'll make sense to only have 8 strength, being the weak old man that I am.

Do not forget you that you still need to take the least dice from the roll... this brings your rolls to (9,9,9,12,13,15 a 9 point buy) and (7,11,12,13,13,14 a 11 point buy)... I strongly suggest you to forget these rolls and take a 20 point buy instead!

Also take a look at Narekk's background, he is also a warrior, we can put something together.

Sounds interesting. Maybe you could be one of the few people who knows that Kuzu is a masked vigilante.

I I'll answer your questions quite soon. I'm currently bisy,but I'm loving the entries so far. You've got me excited.

I am liking the idea of a surface inquisitor being sent below to root out some sort of evil or vileness. Although, in order to really make this concept shine, I feel like I would need more details about the campaign itself. But I will be submitting a ranged inquisitor.

EDIT: Sorry, GM I hadn't refreshed the page and just saw your comment. I am having an extremely busy week myself as well so I can relate. I look forward to the details... ;)

An early (and sadly unfinished) sketch of Kuzu.

@Felstad-Mao may have encountered the beggar while "escorting" a gentleman (or potential target). Said fellow may have been cruel to the beggar and Mao may have shown kindness.

@Kuzu-Kuzu and Mao are both Tian. Definitely some potential for overlap on our backgrounds as well. Maybe Mao knows of this mysterious Tian hero and aspires to be more like her as a force of justice? Or maybe they actually met and Kuzu helped Mao get settled into life outside of Tian?

Autumn Spectre...you look familiar... did you apply for the solo criminal game? or something else. I definitely remember that name.

no wait I remember, the thread for GM's to find applicants. I thought that concept was interesting.

set1
4d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 6, 5) = 23->18
4d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 6, 1) = 17->16
4d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 2, 2) = 15->13
4d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 6, 4) = 21->17
4d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 6, 1) = 13->12
4d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 3, 4) = 15->12

set2
4d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 2, 2) = 15->13
4d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 5, 2) = 14->13
4d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 5, 1) = 14->13
4d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 3, 6) = 20->17
4d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 5, 3) = 11->10
4d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 2, 4) = 14->12

Oooh, love the background co-operation that's going on right now. As it stands, I've got the ideas for Myza's background, but I'm willing to work with others if anyone thinks they could benefit from being attached to her!

Thanks, Yeah I applied for that a few days ago but realized I would probably have better luck finding a game that was actively looking for players, as opposed to twiddling my thumbs all day. 'course I could still apply my other character idea while I play this one.

My backstory and descriptions are all finished up.

@Felstad-Mao may have encountered the beggar while "escorting" a gentleman (or potential target). Said fellow may have been cruel to the beggar and Mao may have shown kindness.

@Kuzu-Kuzu and Mao are both Tian. Definitely some potential for overlap on our backgrounds as well. Maybe Mao knows of this mysterious Tian hero and aspires to be more like her as a force of justice? Or maybe they actually met and Kuzu helped Mao get settled into life outside of Tian?

Cool you might even decide later that to join my cause.

Anyone with a Drow background that want to link to mine would be OK with me....

I got a character that wasn't selected for an AP that I don't want to waste.

Any chance I could own a bar, or at the very least have bartender as a profession

'Lanta here with a Vishkanya Bard (Archaeologist). Focusing on archery, while being able to scout, detect & disarm traps, handle diplomatic interactions, and do some buffing. DPS Skillmonkey. I noticed no one made much of a healer yet, so I'll be able to do a bit of back-up healing as well (I recently started another campaign as an Oracle of Life dedicated healer, so I'd rather avoid picking up the whole schtick here).

Primarily interested in the Underdark campaign, but I'm not opposed to Death of a God. Basic crunch in the alias, not quite done & I gotta add some gear and write up a backstory. I have two backstories in progress in a word doc, depending on where/how the campaign is actually starting.

Just like to second (fourth?) the request for more details on the campaign when you have the time, GM - are we starting above the surface? In the Underdark? Also, I feel I should point out (since no one else has) that Daniel Stewart's Drow Noble is stronger, racially, than the debatable Drider. So that should probably be addressed one way or another as well to maintain balance. That said, Dan, one of the backstories I'm writing is designed to work with yours.

Starting Gold: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 2) = 6 x 10 = half the gorram average -.-

Any chance I could own a bar, or at the very least have bartender as a profession

Put ranks into Profession (Innkeeper) with your background skills. The value of a physical bar or storefront is well beyond our starting gold, but that's not to say you didn't have one.

Back with more tomorrow :)

I'm guessing that that's a thing from unchained. Suppose I should read that now;)

Seeing as Myza here is Half-Drow, she might be a good tie-in.

Narekk: Good looking out. I'll go ahead and make a 20 point buy character. I'm intentionally gimping my starting gold - don't want to gimp my starting stats too much, too.

I like the idea that Mao would have shown kindness to me when I was being mistreated. My character would remember a good turn such as that. Maybe Reggie is amused by my apocalyptic ramblings and thinks they're entertaining to listen to as she gets drunk?

If you want, Myza here is a veritable pool of knowledge on a HUGE number of things, and is set up to be a good support-ish sort of person. She could potentially be of some help to your little crusade. Of course, this is all hinging on the fact that I need to know more about what's actually going on before I commit to her alignment and the like, so....

Well I guess the next step is to setup a recruitment thread for all of us to jump on!! lol
I knew that the Drow noble was super out there, and am willing to rein in some of his abilities. Just liked the story and such...easy to alter him to a regular Drow nobody....
Looking forward to seeing your tie-in Myza and Autumn....but I guess it is all conjecture until TPK gives us the ok and background!! (come on undead aboleth!!!) lol

I'm thinking I'll use Profession Innkeep/Bartender as my cover job. Hey Mao, How do you feel about working as a bar wench?

Hey, if all else fails, you can just take the Drow Noble feat line, which gives a lot of the goodies of Noble over time.

I think we need some overview of who and which character applied for which campaign so far.

I'm thinking I'll use Profession Innkeep/Bartender as my cover job. Hey Mao, How do you feel about working as a bar wench?

That makes really good sense character-wise and as a tie-in. Kuzu hooked her up with the job, I assume?

More like she greased the wheels since I don't actually own the place, but yeah pretty much.

Approve! I'm thinking I'll write their interaction (and her kindness to the crazy man ranting about the apocalypse) when I have a bit of time to dedicate to it (hopefully later this evening).
