Here we go! I hope youall have fun!
Image of Lady Lady Incendia Anisha Rosala, sits smoking a small Cigar and waiting to see who else they had conscripted into the good fight.
Her boots are up on the table, in a burned out and empty inn.
She looked over as the handing body of some poor soul who was in here when it was attacked. Seems the troops wanted some sport.
Her clothing was a well made black uniform, her only weapon by the looks of it a Cold Iron Dagger in one of her polished and well kept fine boots. The simple silver insignia on her collar showed she was an officer of the Calfon city Intelligence core. Her black orb eyes looked around, as she tipped some Ash off the end of her cigar, she flipped open an old news paper she had found and started reading, every now and then taking a pull on her smoke and tipping off ash.
A happy go lucky looking halfling in a shirt of chain which somehow seems to absorb the light walks into the room and sits down. There is a crossbow on his back and little other gear.
Incendia lowers her News paper and peers over the top of it with a smile.
The smile is beautiful as is the lady who gives it. Darkness also seems to spread from her, and a nagging feeling, a kind of slight dread. But her smile seems warm, promising so many pleasures.
"Good morning Master halfling, you here for the fun?."
Her ascent speaks of nobility, breading and education.
"Fun? War isn't fun. However it is a necessary evil, so on we go. At least I keep clear of the messy bits. "
She puts down the news paper, points with her small cigar at the dead body dangling.
"I bet he thought the same thing, that is until messy bit found him."
She reached down and pulled up form under the table what looked to be some kind of wine in a chard bottle. She then placed two odd matching mugs on the table.
"I have a little look around, want some"
She asks pouring him and her a drink.
"I'm Lady Rosala by the way, a specialist in... well lets say finding things out. Could I ask your name and lets face it what counts at the moment, your specialty."
She starts placing more mugs on the table and a few more bottles of wine saying
"For the others, I'm expecting there will be more of us in this new.. irregulars tactical unit"
She says, again with that smile.
While he does get up on the chair, he studiously avoids touching the mug. "I'm Canaan. I shoot rats. I mean I used to shoot rats. Now I shoot what I'm told to shoot. I'm pretty good at it. "
Okay, I think Sharptalon is 100% ready now! I just thought I'd point out that someone *could* ride him into/during battle. He won't accept a bit, but he can understand Common.
Well... though now I don't have a saddle in his inventory because I spent every gold piece on his magic gear. So you might have to provide that yourself.
Moved all the RP so far over to gameplay, kept the inn location until GM says other wise. Nice to see you Griffon.
Now I just have to decide how to introduce him... probably have his trainer bring him in and tell everyone to play nice.
Ooh, interesting
Yeah I think for Akumu he's really alien, and evil.
I think we have two more on the cusp of being done. As soon as they're in I'll introduce you to your first foe.
I think Sharptalon won't be introduced until you're back somewhere more official.
Also, I was just noticing how many evil monsters we have here...
Don't think of us as evil. We are just focused on completing the mission and will not let concepts like mercy or kindness pollute our accomplishing it.
"Your evil. Why should I trust you?"
“Evil? Such a small word to sum up my people, our culture, and our millennia-old dogma. I have little belief in the concept. I've seen holy men sacrifice innocents and be called saints. I've seen mothers who stole only to feed their children go to the gallows. I perceive evil to be an artificial construct, a mere description created by frightened clerks so they can determine whether one’s actions fall within or outside their narrow visions for what reality should be. But am I evil? I believe in potential. I believe that some creatures are without significance and not worthy of my hand raised to save them. Conversely, I believe the multiverse blesses some beings with extraordinary traits, with the potential to do—to be—great things. The fact that I exist to seek out such potential and help it flourish means that regardless of what you believe about such small words like ‘good’ and ‘evil,’ inarguably the cosmos has guided me to you, and as I believe in the power of that cosmos, I believe in you.”
Out of curiosity, how is Incendia seeing Akumu?
I reappeared. It works as per invisibility, so all I need to do is to declare a hostile action like, attacking the ground, and I'll reappear.
Wil o wisps are not invisible once they make an attack.
Or you could just dismiss it, but whatever works for you. :)
Dismissing is easier. Geeez. I don't want a repeat of the invisible man. Or in this case invisible wisp. LE is easy to get along with, really. We get the job done, we pack up, and go home. Most LEs don't get jollies terrorising and torturing people, but it appears to be my only source of healing. This is going to be fun, I'm a freakin monster!
And don't worry, we're not racist. We don't care if you have unusual appendages, don't walk on two legs....

Sharptalon would just gaze at you in blank incomprehension if you said something like that. He has a very... simplistic worldview.
Out of curiosity, how is Incendia seeing Akumu?
She is not seeing him, she is feeling his emotions V empathy, she knows his general direction that is all. She would not have the means to pinpoint him for an attack say. As I posted she is looking his general area.
My turn, how dos Shadoweaver know what Incendia is?
Empathy does not work on invisible people. You must see them. Plus it's concentration.
Are you disguised? I missed that if you are. He has a good Kn: planes check, and as fellow denizens of the shadow plane, he knows what Kyton are.
Oh, and by the way, there's nothing personal Canaan. Let me know if anything starts getting too much.
Given the name, I had no intention of being attached to him.
He's a test build more or less. I don't really see him as keeping up with the nonsense that allowing monsters in will permit.
Interesting. We have no healers. Fortunately the "superior beings" all get better from hit point damage, but we'll need to work on condition removal.
>Empathy does not work on invisible people. You must see them.
I never said it did she was caching sigh of him and as I said she was looking in his general direction. He was not invisible most of the time, as has been said, so take that as you will.
Also she
>Plus it's concentration.
never said it was not, just that
Discipline Talents (Ps)
Each discipline gains access to two psi-like abilities that can be used as long as the psion maintains psionic focus.
she was doing little more than looking his way.
>Are you disguised? I missed that if you are. He has a good Kn: planes check, and as fellow denizens of the shadow plane, he knows what Kyton are.
Yes hat-of-disguise to look human, she would freak the &^££& out of the locals walking around in her true form. hehe
Locals don't ever see me. Woot!
Have a bunch of houseguests ATM, so I'm a bit slower about posting than usual.
so, is it still possible to join up to fight?
Would envision Areth staying a bit behind or nearby the tents and observing the enemy frontlines.
You can still join up, but you will be in fight 2. We're about 30 (in game) seconds from rolling init with this fight.
understood
Just a test post to see if this displays properly.
Hi all, here is the Goo man himself :)
Should be done except for buying some consumables.
Basically this guy changes all the time, for instance he is currently set up with 4 arms...
After he changes he can then morph even further with Psion spells like metamorphosis or Animal Affinity. He can also do lots and lots of healing. And even more healing after that :)
When he comes in would it be alright if he came in as if he were a prisoner being dropped off or something? I have given him a pair of handcuffs and a bit of chain, and it would be a good "start" for someone just getting released from a lab :)
And 2 questions for you Choon.
1: I assume that Psion and Aegis PP totals are sepperate? I currently have them listed as APP and PPP.
2: I found the Shifters Headband which would be perfect for this character. Would you allow it to affect psion spells such as Metamophosis and Animal Affinity?
At his core he is a Fat Halfling priest/monk with a rapidly mutating and corrupt body :)
1) That's an interesting question, actually. Casting is separate, but technically power points aren't, the list of powers gets expanded.
I'll say yes, keep them separate.
2) yes.
1) Ya, it also can run into issues with which casting stat do you add for bonus PP, or if you add the same one twice. Separate pools gives you a little bit more, but it is simpler. Combined gives you a huge pool that you can spend all on 1 side.
2) Thanks!
Also I just noticed, my stat bar under my name is just basically 1 large line of code >_>
I have HP, and then I Have PPP and some APP and over there is some CP or maybe a CMD and DR... Any of that make sense XD
I'll keep the separate power pools in mind if I do a psionic character. By default, it says explicitly to join them. The stat boosts are calculated separately for each class, but they all go into the same pool.
Multiclass Psionic Characters
If you have levels in more than one psionic class, you
combine your power points from each class to make up
your reserve. You can use these power points to manifest
powers from any psionic class you have.
While you maintain a single reserve of power points
from your class, race, and feat selections, you are still
limited by the manifester level you have achieved with
each power you know.
I thought you pooled them. We should probably go with that. If they wrote it they must have had a reason.
I have played a LOT of psionics and GMs tend to go two ways with this.
Way 1:
With Gestalt you can have Multiclass sides of the Gestalt, on each Side you pool the power points. But you don't pool across the Gestalt sides, in other words you have two pools, one per Gestalt side. any race feats that add power points you add on each side.
Way 2:
You just pool them into one big pot. having each class add to the pot but any race feats that add power points you add once only.
Seem to be one or the other.
It might be easier to go with option 1. Sorry to wobble back and forth on this, but it's something I didn't think about initially. For this craziness I think I prefer to keep things distinct where possible. Reduces the possibility for miscalculation and error and just keep everything tidier.
Wouldn't it just be easier book keeping wise to use a single pool lol.
I mean gestalt is the best of either side but that class feature is normally shared so why split it now? In this case the aegis doesn't really have a large pool and can barely do anything with it to begin with so I don't see it being game breaking.
I mean you could be a level 3 aegis and level 3 psion on one side and still have the same total as if you had a level 3 on either side of the gestalt so I really don't see there being any difference.
I can already see having two pools being confusing lol, trying to keep track of that, especially with people that use their sheets and what not to do it for them. I know on my mythweaver sheet it only has one spot for it to do the math, and I sure as hell don't know how to calculate it myself. It just sounds like added work for no reason.
Ok, I can see that side too.
*sigh*
I'm trying to decide if I care anymore.
.
.
.
.
Nope. Don't care. One pool. Two pools. Use whichever. But racial additions to your pool will add only once. (I think that's fair).
Hrm, you mean favored class bonuses?
Yeah I don't think there was anyway to add that twice unless I am mistaken, that is what you mean right? Like when people play psionic races and take the pp instead of hp or skill points?
I think after I die I will probably make an aegis but steer clear from any other psionic classes lol. Was thinking of an aegis and hawkguard warder on one side and this cheesy scholar class and something else on the other side. Maybe a bolt ace? Is the gunslinger allowed?
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/3rd-party-classes/tripod-machine/scholar
Yes
It better be allowed since I'm playing a bolt ace.
Lol yeah that would be awkward.
Are you doing good with that class? What do you have with it Buzzard?
Lol also nice name.
It's a fighter/bolt ace so I can pump up the damage even on touch shots (since deadly aim doesn't work on touch shots with a crossbow).
We're a bit early into the combat, but I got lucky and critted my first shot, which is nice on a bolt ace since they up the multiplier on the crossbow to x3.
Not to mention you get back the grit point you spent, right?
