Dragon's Demand (Inactive)

Game Master David_Bross

If interested post below. You would get PFS credit, although we're playing the whole thing in campaign mode, getting the 3 normal and 1 bonus chronicle at the end. The character you want to apply credit to can not play from the time the campaign starts until it ends, so it'd be useful to place it on a new level 1 who'd be level 4, and have 3xp reserved at level 5.

You can use a 4d6 drop lowest (assigned as you see fit), or take a 15 point buy. Most paizo material will be allowed and I'd discourage over optimization. You can use 1 trait or 2 traits 1 drawback from ultimate campaign. Max HP at first level, take 1/2+1 for levels beyond the 1st. You'll start with 150 gold.

This would be my first PBP GMing, I've played in a few. I'd only like people to apply who can commit to posting 1-2 times a day regularly. Its good to keep the posting rate up so we can finish this which runs from levels 1 to 6.

Dotting, although I have trouble posting on Mondays.

You say that MOST Paizo stuff is allowed. Is there any thing in particular that you don't like?

Sure, recruitment is about that particular part. Off the top of my head things that would be out are Gunslingers, gun archetypes, and summoners. I'm fairly versed on whats "overpowered" and would probably ask people shy away from those choices, if I saw them selecting them in character creation.

Hello,
What are the alignments & how about races and archetypes?

Thinking monk, something like a judo master...

Always up for a dice roll:

4d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 4, 3) = 12 -2 = 10
4d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 4, 6) = 15 -2 = 13
4d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 5, 2) = 14 -2 = 12
4d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 4, 4) = 16 -3 = 13
4d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 1, 6) = 16 -1 = 15
4d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 2, 5) = 16 -2 = 14

15, 14, 13, 13, 12, 10

Fairly average! I'm thinking Paladin.

I'm interested, and I'm up for a 15 points buy. I've always wondered how that would feel :-).

I'd like to play a human wizard blaster, chugging fireballs.

Totally interested. I have an elven hunter that I would love to play.. and i can rework her stats from 20 pt buy down to 15 if you have no objections to me not creating her specifically for this game. If you want to check her out she is under my aliases

I'm thinking of either a rogue or slayer, the rolls have been nice for them.

Dotting for interest

Would a Mountain Witch fit? This is more of a question about what the land is like.

Braggom, Barbarian from the Osirian Desert

Dotting. Probably going to make a Speaker For the Past (Shaman, Life Spirit). If non-core races are allowed, I'll be rolling up an aasimar; otherwise, probably a human or half-elf.

4d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 5, 5) = 17 16
4d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 2, 3) = 13 11
4d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 4, 1) = 13 12
4d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 2, 6) = 16 14
4d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 6, 3) = 14 13
4d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 4, 5) = 19 15

Decent enough.

Having never done PFS would I have to register this character if chosen?

Hateful Rager Half-orc barbarian reporting for duty

It wouldn't hurt to register. The way to look at it is that you can start a character at a higher level if you'd like to.

As far as archetypes and legality go PFS's rules are a good first pass. That said anything could go, depending on party composition, so just post your builds and I'll review them. I'd recommend good/neutral PCs because it'll facilitate the story in more positive directions.

You guys should think of reasons why your particular character would have an interest the Verduran Forest between Andoran, Taldor, and Galt. If you're a mercenary there would be available work on as caravan guards that pass through the dense forest between so many nations.

As a dense forest, Jazmine would have probably have just wandered in. She has spent most of her life tending to her forest home and rarely interacts with others. If there is a threat to the woodlands themselves or bad ppl in her sacred forest she would readily and viciously respond

I see him as a crusader going around trying to right wrongs and help Ragathiel to gain notierity. He isn't too bright though.

When are you looking to start and make your selections?

December 8th

Dotting this like it's morse code.

I'll probably take the point buy because I prefer math as opposed to luck, but what's an RPG without a bunch of weirdos rolling all over the countryside?

Although... of course, I wouldn't want to be a drag on my allies. Maybe, just this once, I'll take the rolls.

Dottity-dot. O, Mighty RNG! Don't be a Scrooge!

4d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 6, 4) = 21 - 17
4d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 1, 3) = 9 - 8
4d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 5, 6) = 20 - 16
4d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 3, 6) = 17 - 14
4d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 3, 6) = 15 - 12
4d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 2, 2) = 11 - 10

O, praise to thee, RNG! Since there's potential credit, might just play a Pathfinder or some such. Seems oddly appropriate :3

Edit: Before I forget, are we using traits? I'm assuming not, but figured I'd ask for the sake of clarity.

Let's see.........

4d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 5, 4) = 19 = 15
4d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 6, 1) = 11 = 10
4d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 3, 1) = 11 = 10
4d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 2, 1) = 10 = 9
4d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 2, 2) = 15 = 13
4d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 2, 6) = 14 = 12

I suppose it's fine. Now to start thinking.

Derp. Dunno why I didn't notice the trait bit at the top the first time; disregard my previous edit :p

Anyway, looking hard at some sort of romanticized Taldan adventurer. Rogue seems the most obvious fit, but we'll see where that goes.

Hateful Rager Half-orc barbarian reporting for duty

I'm withdrawing my application for this one.

Everyone have fun :-) !

Still here and still interested.

Thanks to David Bross, I caught a few things wrong with the original. Here is Braggom, Barbarian updated:

Still here and still interested.

As I said. I'm closing recruiting on December 8th (Have a convention next weekend).

4d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 1, 5) = 15 = 14
4d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 2, 6) = 11 = 10
4d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 2, 1) = 11 = 10
4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 6, 2) = 17 = 15
4d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 5, 1) = 16 = 15
4d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 1, 4) = 13 = 12

Hmmm...

I just realized that Ira previously rolled up a barbarian before I did, so I changed Crushtooth into a Drunk Master Sensei (monk archetypes). He has bardic performance instead of flurry of blows and will specialize in grappling, stunning and spouting wisdom of drinking fine ales.

I might do a halfling lunar or nature oracle or something like that. I like the idea of a halfling with an animal companion, and an oracle seems to be the best way to do that in a way that will benefit from the halfling's ability boosts. If I put a 15 in strength (13) and charisma (17), a 14 in dex (16), and a 12 in constitution I'll be doing pretty well, I think.

A small halfling riding a medium-sized AC with a sling, a lance, and a club seems like something that could work.

stat: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 2, 1) = 11
stat: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 2, 6) = 14
stat: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 1, 6) = 12
stat: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 5, 6) = 17
stat: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 6, 3) = 17
stat: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 5, 1) = 12

I will use these stats for Jazmine the hunter Elf and Giggles, the Velociraptor.
so...11 st, 18 dex, 10 con, 12 intel, 14 wis, 11 cha once the elvish traits are applied.

and here she is.. Jazmine the hunter, and her velociraptor Giggles

David, this is Paladin's character submission. I'm still working on her.

Her backstory includes that she was raised by a solitary elven druid. Can I have her know Elven in addition to or instead of Halfling?

Instead of would be fine

Works for me.

Would the character used on the playthrough be pfs legal lvl6 at the end? Or is it the only levels gained will be to the character you apply the rewards to please?

The character you play through has nothing to do with the chronicle sheets you get. Assuming you apply to a 0xp character you'd get a level 4 PC with a held 3xp chonicle for level 5.

Is the heirloom weapon trait ok?

Yeah just show what you're planning to do with it. (which of the 3 benefits you're selecting), along with the weapon.

Still hashing out character ideas myself, but in the meantime, here's a handy-dandy reference to what everyone has submitted so far for anyone currently examining the thread:

Braggom, Barbarian from the Osirion Desert, by Ira kroll

Marcellano Wintrish, Warpriest of Ragathiel, by JASON RODARTE

Crushtooth, Drunken Master Sensei Monk, by Vasari

Jazmine the Hunter & Giggles the Velociraptor, by Awennydd83

Nátulcien Ar-Feiniel the Oracle, by Paladin of Baha-who?

stat: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 4, 1) = 9
stat: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 5, 6) = 20
stat: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 5, 1) = 15
stat: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 3, 2) = 11
stat: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 6, 4) = 15
stat: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 3, 3) = 12

Gah...

Ok I have an idea for a Human Cleric that channel negative energy - Neutral Or a Human Magus Kensai.

How are peoples experience with each?

Clerics, regardless of their channeling focus, are pretty boss. The Kensai Magus Archetype is something I'm not super intimate with, unfortunately, but looking at it with nothing more than a cursory glance, I'm personally not sure I'd want to sacrifice both armor and suffer diminished spellcasting for a class that's essentially all about those two things >_>

But, hey, if you've got a neat concept and think it'd be fun, then I'd say roll with it! :D

I have a kensai magus that's almost 11, and I can assure you it's quite good. Becoming more of a melee fighter is quite effective. Once you hit late 7 or 8 and everything starts having elemental resistances and spell resistance, the standard shocking grasp cheese builds become far less effective. Using Bladed Dash, Force Hook Charge, or Dimension Door with Dimensional Assault with spell combat to full-attack at any range is more effective anyways.

Keep in mind that this module doesn't go above 6th or 7th level at most.

Nat would have a lance as her heirloom weapon, and a white tiger (medium) as her animal companion. The drawback would be Unlearned (the elven druid who raised her taught her about animals, plants, the weather, the seasons, etc., but pretty much nothing about anything else, other than a general reverence for the Elven moon deity), and the second trait that gives her will be Beast Bond, which suits her bond with the animal companion, and gives her a bonus to ride and handle animal, and allows Ride to be a class skill. This should make her able to guide her tiger around and attack with it without having much chance of failure.

Caster cleric.. negative channeller it is then. I'll try get it done by tonight.
