Dragonlance: Age of Mortals Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master Darkfire142

Well in order to get the session going instead of sitting around for two days in real time really doing nothing....

I think I added the relevant information to my profile.

Posting has dropped a good bit recently. I know Seren had to bow out. Where are the rest of you at?

Right here! :)

Sorry to hear that Seren, you will be missed!

With the opening, maybe we can find a good Solamnic cleric of some sort, this game needs another human (or at least a good dwarf). :P

A gully, lol.

A gully, lol.

Lol...negative. I mean a strong, proud hill or mountain dwarf. Complete with battle axe, ale, and "By Reorx's beard!" saying.

Are you discriminating against the different dwarves now?

Always my friend. ;)

I like gully dwarves as a plot device, not a traveling companion.

I always laugh when I read Bupu's lines.

Awd is a vouyer, lol.

I'm still waiting on people to declare their actions. Are you questioning Derg and Cole further? Are you going to try and heal Pegrin? Are you heading back to town? Tell me what you're doing?

Hey guys! I am in another DL campaign with High God of Krynn. I would love to build a Dwarven Cleric of Reorx to round out the group. I really enjoy playing dwarves and have always been enamored with DL. I am currently reading Dragons of Autumn Twighlight to my boys ;)

Here is what I have currently. I will work on the background if you think it is acceptable and have an opening for me.

-A Member of the Holy Order of Stars.
-Daewar: Mountain Dwarf who is a member of the Forger Sect
-Worships Reorx and as such believes that the dwarves were the perfected race of Krynn. He seeks perfection in all he does.
-Can take Craft Armor and Weapons as a skill (Maybe it could be a way we progress our masterwork items?)
-Ole Stubborn Dwarf with a good heart who is loyal to his friends and enjoys a bit of drink and merriment
-Can help Drake stand in front and protect the current characters with his giant hammer while still providing the healing and restoration spells required to be successful.

Sounds good to me Rogrim. Dwarf characters are just fine, although I'll have to add you in at a later time back at the town. I have an idea of when to put your character into the group and I will inform you when you can come in.

That sounds good. Thank you for the opportunity.

Now THATS a dwarf! Good man.

I never knew Reorx granted the Travel domain, I thought it was Artifice (formally Forge), Earth, Fire, Luck, and Strength (although I could see him having the Rune domain also). I'm curious what supplement you found that in (disregard the question if its something you worked out with the DM).

Indeed I overlooked that. Travel unfortunately is not a domain covered by Reorx. The domains he has access to Artifice, Earth, Fire, Law and Strength. I don't see him as having the Rune Domain as most of the Reorx races are not very proficient in magical pursuits. So Rogrim will have to pick from that list of domains. Reorx is not a god of travel, in fact Dwarves in Dragonlance often are not vibrant travelers. Most mountain dwarves are perfectly content to stay in their holds. If you want the travel domain, Shinare the Goddess of Merchants and Traders might be more up your alley.

Rorgrim will not be no cleric of Sh..Shin...that woman Goddess! He is a true Daewar! Not some sissy Gully Dwarf!!! By Reorx's beard...Rorgrim will change his domain then! Follower of some woman Goddess. Pffft!

I will change the domain. Ferocity is a subdomain of strength. will that one be OK? By Pathfinder rules, you can always take a sub domain. I will go with what you decide though.

Indeed any Sub-Domains of the main domains are allowed. Feel free to take Ferocity.

Indeed any Sub-Domains of the main domains are allowed. Feel free to take Ferocity.

Awesome! Thank you!

Oh Mighty DM, did you mean Law or Luck for his domain choice? I was just curious because btb Reorx is TN, not LN. And his 5 available domains in the Holy Order of the Stars sourcebook are Earth, Fire, Forge (now Artifice), Luck, and Strength.

Indeed it should be Luck not Law. Thought Reorox was a lawful neutral god, but I guess not. I do have holy orders open at the time I wrote that.

As for you Rogrim, unfortunately you've got a few other corrections to make to your character. First of all you have 1 too many traits. Secondly you are using an Earth Breaker which is a Martial Weapon. An Earthbreaker is not a "Warhammer" which is the favored weapon of Reorx. Dwarfs treat dwarf weapons as "Martial" not "Simple" so a cleric is not proficent with Earth Breaker hammers.

I will fix both of those. On the traits, I forgot to take one of them off Herolabs when I switched. As far as the weapon, I will switch to the Warhammer as the favored weapon of Reorx. Thank you for the input. I am making the changes now and will re-post the build for your approval.

Here is the new build with the changes:

He is not smart. Very dwarven, lol.

He is not smart. Very dwarven, lol.

Rorgrim ain't no sissy gully dwarf and he ain't no scholarly pointy eared Elf neither! He may not be the smartest tool in the forge, but he's got some waking around sense and he knows how to knock a lil sense into a scrawny wizard!

I may drop strength and increase intelligence if it will be a problem, but with limited magic and medium BAB the dwarf needs to be able to hit things.

Not at all, just giving you a hard time.,

;) I am looking forward to RPing with you!

Even without Burby?

Burby is great!!

Burby is based off a character that was in one of my DL campaigns. So is Kendros.

Well seeing as Reorx is the god of crafters, and crafting is an Int based skill, I would think he would expect a bit more from one of his clerics. :P

Personally if it was me I would have gone with Str 16, Dex 12, Con 16, Int 10, Wis 16, Cha 11, but then I really dont like stats under 10.

Looking at the current party with three full casters including a full divine caster (druid), What do you think about this build instead. It would be the other melee character with Drake since the rest of the party appear ranged (archer, bombs, wizard, druid) and allow me the skill points and int to take craft weapons and armor to help the party progress their masterwork items. He has less spell progression, but better melee and skills. The Rping wouldn't change at all since he will still be a Forger of Reorx. Thoughts?

LOL, a squire to the knights, just like Reorx is seen as squire to Kiri-Jolith.

If I'm being honest I would personally prefer the cleric, Dwarven Cleric just has such a classical feel. Plus the healing potential he brings to the party is huge. I have a feeling this might be a tough campaign, and I think a cleric would be extremely beneficial.

Turning undead is important as well.

Well the actual Turn Undead feat/ability kinda sucks in Pathfinder, its a far cry from its AD&D glory days, but those sweet bursts of channel energy to harm undead when the need arises are pretty nice...."oh I'm sorry, did I just destroy the entire room full of skeletons in one round" :P

I'm getting a little worried about our Kender friend, its been almost a week since his last post, I hope we haven't lost him.

The druid and alchemist both have healing ability and channel is blah in pathfinder except for out of combat, especially with a dwarf! The inquisitor would play just like the cleric minus the channel, but with 8x as many skills as the cleric. For RP purposes, I would like to take craft armor and weapons. With one to two skill pts per level, clerics get crap. It is hard to make a really good battle cleric in PF. The 25 point buy helps though. Since the inquisitor is better at combat, he has to use far less buffing spells to be effective which would allow for saving spells for spontaneous healing. Inquisitor is just a name. I would RP him like a war cleric who spends his life seeking perfection in combat and forging. The class just allows better balance as a character.

In the end, I will go with what the party/GM thinks works best! Cheers my DL friends!!!

Reorx is squire to no one! Those ole lies been passed around human communities for years! They are just jealous Reorx was the one who forged Krynn on his anvil and saved his best for the Daewar!

LOL. Reorx is a sidekick!

Plus, The paladin will have LOH ability soon too.

So: Druid CLW, Alchemist CLW, Inquisitor CLW, and Paladin LOH. That is a lot of healing. Thoughts?

By the way, Ty for the input throughout the process Drake. Ultimately, I am looking forward to being part of the team!

The paladin could take Turn Undead couldn't he?

Will the Alchemist be able to use CLW as an extract? I didn't know as healing in DL is supposed to be the sole province of the gods. I know the Bard was informed he couldn't take healing spells, but the Alchemist is its own special entity, so it might be allowed. We'll see what the DM has to say on the matter.

And I agree, 2 skill points a level sucks. Whenever I DM I make minimum skill points 4 per level, it really helps out the fighter, cleric, paladin, etc. Plus there's no reason a Cavalier should have 4 per level whereas a Fighter only has 2. Although Wizards stay at 2, justifying that magical training and study is so intense it leaves little room for other pursuits (plus with their Int's they dont need 4).

As for the input, it is my pleasure Rorgrim. I'm just of the opinion that clerics are awesome and super useful, providing many boons, not just healing. And if the serious need arises, you are just a Divine Power and/or Righteous Might away from facestomping. ;)

If that is true and the alchemist and druid can not heal, that changes things. I may do the cleric and focus more on support with back up melee. I just hate having low skills in a RP campaign.

A druid can heal in DL since they get their magic from the gods but we need to remember that the alchemist and the inquisitor class came out way after 3.5 DLCS. There is a DL inquisitor PRC but it is kind of different from the Paizo class.

I think the inquisitor build is a better mechanical fit for the group though he will RP the same either way. Are you ok with the inquisitor HG of Krynn? I will work on his background now. How do you want him to have ended up in Pashin? Local smithy?

An inquisitor would be an OK class. As for why you're in Pashin, you're with a group of dwarves hired by the mayor of Pashin to investigate the sewers and evaluate the integrity of the construction. It was crafted centuries ago back in old Ishtar by dwarf laborers and there as and there has been some concerns of structural weaknesses developing. So basically you're a part of the survey crew to check out the sewers and advise on what kind of reconstruction is required. I have an idea of when the party will show up and meet you so be patient.
