Check-in!
Here are my feat modifications:
All martial characters are considered to have the Martial Versatility feat, which means that any weapon specific feat is treated, is treated as a fighter weapon group feat (e.g. Weapon Focus would apply to Heavy Blades (fighter weapon group) not Greatsword). This is to promote the use of various drops and not pigeonhole fighters and other martials into a single weapon.
All characters will also get one free skill point in Profession, Craft or Perform that describes the summation of their personal history. Example: Ben the Fighter takes his free skill point in Profession(Miner) due to be a miner at the local mining company.
Weapon Finesse and Power Attack are free feats that you gain when you meet the requirements.
Dodge and Mobility are now a single feat that incorporates both feats into one and counts for both for any prereqs. (+1 to Dodge AC that increases to +4 to Dodge AC when being attacked by AoOs from movement). [Slight nerf overall, but you gain a feat slot.]
All crafting feats have their caster level requirements increased by two levels.
Crafting is no longer a 50% price reduction, instead crafting will cost 80% of the value of the item.
Two-Weapon Fighting is now a single feat that advances to Improved and Greater when you meet the requirements for those feats.
Vital Strike is now a single feat that advances to Improved and Greater when you meet the requirements for those feats.
Whip Mastery is now a single feat that advances to Improved and Greater when you meet the requirements for those feats.
All Improved combat maneuver feats are grouped into three feats and no longer grant +2 to CMB/CMD.
Improved Warrior Maneuvers: Bull Rush, Drag, Overrun, Sunder
Improved Thief Maneuvers: Dirty Trick, Disarm, Steal
Improved Wrestler Maneuvers: Grapple; Reposition; Trip
There are no requirements for these feats.
Greater Combat Maneuvers feats remain the same and require the lesser Improved version.
Weapon Focus now scales at 8th level to Greater Weapon Focus and gives a total of +2 to hit
Spell Focus now scales at 8th level to Greater Spell Focus and gives a total of +2 to the DCs of that school’s spells.
Weapon Specialization now scales at 10th level to Greater Weapon Specialization and gives a total of +4 to the damage with that fighter weapon group.
Leadership is banned. (May be given out as a bonus)
-------------------------
Start with full gold for one of your classes [the higher or lower, you choose ;) ]
One trait for you character must be from the Carrion Crown Player's Guide.
I'm assuming I made it in, since my name was green on the sign-up sheet ;)
(Revvy here btw)
Just wanted to make sure that skinwalker (nightskulk) as a race is allowed - Just cause it sounded cool to play and I'd like a feat they get - or if I need to change him into a halfling before I finalized Naxx's profile
Hey guys, checking in!
Still working on a character. Likely taking tiefling or aasimar for a little bit of an early entry into MT. (if that is applicable)
Swamped with GenCon coming up this week, trying to prep my games and get my RL stuff in order as well.
Likely won't have anything substantial until the first of next week.
Checking in also
First of next week is fine. I'm delaying DD and RotR until then as well as they are more intensive than a PFS scenario.
@Revvy: Nightskulk looks fine.
K, I'll update my profile sometime this weekend then...picking stuff in gestalt is even worse then building a normal PFS character , way too many options ;)
A couple caster updates:
I prefer casters to have a focus and what that means to me is things like the Druid who focuses on plant and plant-related spells or a Winter Witch (archetype and prestige class). When you train your magic gifts, you will likely be an apprentice to a single powerful member of your class and that person will have specialized. Seeing a sorcerer with powerful lightning magic, cold magic, necromancy, etc. would be quite rare. I don't have any formal rules for this, but please try to keep magic in a general "specialization", if that makes sense.
Things I don't like to see: Divination or Conjuration Wizard for the powerful school abilities and then most of your spells are Evocation or Necromancy. You're not really a Divination specialist if you know one divination spell per spell level.
As such, any elemental spell has any of the four base elemental types. This means that there are acid "fireballs", cold "lightning bolts", fire "shocking grasps", etc. This is only for spells without riders for the moment. Things like Chill Touch are specific to their existing elemental type. Things like Ice Storm or Ash Storm however could be reflavored to a Lightning Storm.
Heighten Spell no longer exists. If you use a 5th level spell slot for Acidball, then it's a stronger Acidball. All spells can be adjusted via Heighten Spell mechanics without the feat. Additionally, this means having this power doesn't count toward things like Spell Perfection.
Dazing Spell no longer exists.
Just to check to see if my idea on where I'm planning to go is ok with you for your idea of where the campaign should be going
I was thinking of taking a few different classes to work on my character as a concept as I level up
-Summoner, so that I can summon rats and rats swarms
-Bard so that I can play a flute and get some use out of it
-1 lvl in Cavalier to get a teamwork work feat that I can share with party members 1/day (and my cat eidelon) so that when they are adjacent they don't get damaged by ratswarms
-Druid with an arch type that gives you multiple animal companions and then take a few dire rats
-Maybe 1 lvl in wizard to get a rat familiar..just to get a rat more
This means I will be flooding the battlefield with lots and lots of not so useful stuff...but that hopefully will be able to provide flanking and can be boosted by bardic performances/spells..since this is pbp it shouldn't slow the game down I think, but if you think it will be a problem or it isn't the focus you are looking for in a character let me know and I'll tone it down..I don't really need the druid/wizard and I'm not sure if I will take them..but I'd like the lvl cavalier though
Sir Thomas checking in. Sorry to be late to the party running 7 slots at GenCon was a little ambitious. Got tomorrow off though.
Umm... that all sounds great, however I think I'm going to limit it to one type of companion with you (eidolon, animal companion or familiar). Too many companions plus swarms is going to be a lot to handle on the maps.
Just need to make sure my character is fine. Will try to have ut in before tonight
Can i just have a link to char gen again? Need to check if my char is ok before posting and making an alias?
Would a wyvaran be okay?
Character Generation is:
15 point buy
Two classes, separate progression. Take the better BAB/Saves/etc. Earn both classes abilities.
Feat Adjustments
Maximum gold for one of your starting classes.
Two traits; One from the Player's Guide.
Races are anything less than 15 RP.
A modified Wyvaran could be allowed. Off the top of my head, a flightless Wyvaran would be fine.
@Tektite: Early entry with SLAs isn't a problem for me.
@Revvy/Seth: Why would a Wererat and Wyvaran be associated with the professor? Not saying you can't play the race, but think about why a Wererat (naturally shifty and with a predilection for theft) and a Wyvaran (someone who prefers the company of other dragonkin [dragons, wyverns, and kobolds]) would be a great friend of the professor. Enough to be included in his will. Additionally, why would these reclusive races have met with a human dabbling in the afterlife of ghosts, zombies, etc.?
@Gaarm: Build looks fine. Movement AoO AC is off by one. You would be at 19 AC when provoking from movement.
@Sir Thomas: Build looks good.
im going for chance survivor. he saved the professor's life. and being an arcane user, the theories he had interested him :)
Thanks, working on it as we speak. For fun and interest sake, i stayed a kobold. not an optimized race, but fun. especially with fire dc up the wazoo!

One more question. How do you feel about taking a level in Mystic Theurge, the taking Evangelist levels with MT being the aligned class?
Umm... that all sounds great, however I think I'm going to limit it to one type of companion with you (eidolon, animal companion or familiar). Too many companions plus swarms is going to be a lot to handle on the maps.
That's why I decided to check before hand ;)
Yup. But +4 vs AoO.
Correct. Gm just said I was 1 over so I was trying to see where I was missing it.
@Gaarm: "Dodge and Mobility are now a single feat that incorporates both feats into one and counts for both for any prereqs. (+1 to Dodge AC that increases to +4 to Dodge AC when being attacked by AoOs from movement). [Slight nerf overall, but you gain a feat slot.]" -from my first post. You aren't getting the full benefit of Dodge and Mobility.
@Tektite: I'd like to see your planned build before allowing that. Evangelist isn't a terribly strong prestige class, bonuses-wise, but it does add some nice gravy for losing a single level of your preferred class. Also, I won't let your caster level go beyond your actual level.
E.g. - Wizard 5 / (Cleric 1/Mystic Theurge 4) would still only have a Wizard CL of 5 and only have access to 3rd level spells, otherwise it would break the game entirely for you to have access to 5th level spells at 5th level.
Ah ok! That makes sense. I was crunching numbers thinking something got mixed up with gestalt and herolab lol.
Is nizvit correct?
@Seth: Looks great. Never heard of the drain spider before, but cool. I guess my only question would be why a drain spider for a fire kobold since they hang out in sewers?
Well. Im thinking kobold cavern dug into a sewer. Hence how he came topside. There he found is little friend :)
Tektite here. I think I have the all the stats correct, but could have easily made a mistake.
Take a look and tell me what you think.
@Phyton: Looks good. What is your arcane bonded item? Also, what is your intended build path? (Nothing permanent but just as an idea for the Evangelist issue).
Update:
Please format your alias profile as follows:
Race: Fighter 6 / Alchemist 6 HP: 39/39 | AC 20 | T 16 | FF 14 | Fort +7 | Ref +11 | Will +3 | CMD 18 | Initiative +6 | Perception +10 | Sense Motive +3 | Knowledge(Arcana/Local/Nature/Religion) +13
Class: [ spoiler=Resources]Bombs 11/11 | Extracts - 1st: 6/6; 2nd: 4/4 | CLW Wand - 43 charges[/spoiler]
Gender: [Blank]
The first will let me easily reference your Current HP/Total HP | Different ACs | Different Saves | CMD | Initiative | Perception | Other Highly Used Skills (Not Appraise or Profession)
The second will let me keep track of your daily expendables on the fly without referencing your character sheets.
Archetypes are unnecessary. Abbreviations of the classes are ok (Alch/Ftr/Wiz/Sorc/etc.) for space reasons. If you multi-class, please put your class tracks as follows: (Wiz 5/Theurge 1) / Cleric 6
Will do when i have my pc. Graphics card died. Getting new one by weekend

Sorry, I wasn't getting updates for this thread and didn't think to check that often..I'll promise I'll be better from now on.
@Naxx: Why would a Wererat be associated with the professor? (naturally shifty and with a predilection for theft) would be a great friend of the professor. Enough to be included in his will. Additionally, why would these reclusive races have met with a human dabbling in the afterlife of ghosts, zombies, etc.?
My answer: It has nothing to do with being a wererat. Naxx is a traveling man moving from town to town, all over the country and a teller and collector of stories. He met the professor while being invited to tell his stories about legends (undead roaming small towns) and they've kept in touch since the first time, trading stories and information.
@GM: Forgot to add in the Arcane Bond, likely a ring.
You know, the more I think about it, with Gestalt, playing a cleric/wizard is essentially playing a MT, so I'm not sure what the benefit is in taking levels in MT.
@Naxx: Perfect. Just needed a brief understanding of why you are here and yours works.
@Phyton: Agreed.
We will be starting tomorrow as everyone has checked in. Thank you for being patient. The travelling has been a bit taxing.
Update:
Breath of Life no longer exists as a legal spell choice.
To make things easy, I'm going to have you spend days getting acquainted with the town. This will provide you all of the information in the town key and let me work in this information without you all having to visit every house and store.
Sound good? (This won't affect the adventure.)
EDIT: Map of the town and the town key is posted above the thread.
Since we'd most likely do that anyway..sounds good to me
Okidoki!

Out at Oktoberfest in Berlin until the 28th of September, thus my internet is going to be a bit spottier than normal. Will update whenever I can find access.
Bold Strider, weren't you just in Asia?
I was. I was in Tokyo for 10 weeks of work, then Washington D.C. for three weeks and I have a few months of Dublin, but I decided to head over to Munich for Oktoberfest.
Sounds like you are quite the uhh, strider.
Updates will occur tomorrow! That is when I get back to Dublin from Amsterdam. Sorry for the lack of posting, internet access has been terrible.
Should I have a back-up character ready to go? lol
@Naxx: Can you update your profile to include your eidolon stats, your feats, etc. Use one of my character's profiles if it helps. You are going to have a very complicated build and using one of my templates would make it so much easier on me, if you don't mind.

My apologies..I thought I had much more then I did..I either spaced out completely or something went wrong when I entered my information
I think I've got (most of?) it covered now
And again my apologies about the dire rats stats..I looked them up and just used to ones I found..I overlooked the fact that they had augmented summoning build into it's stats..my bad (I should have had 2 less to hit and damage)
Want to make sure? Any 3rd party allowed or none?
