A Magus Kensai and a Empiricst2/Swash1 were sharing the front liner role, so getting some real muscle would be great.
Then I will roll with the mutation warrior fighter. SubiculumHammer, I've never played one before, no, so this will be a learning experience :).
I looked at the build rules from the beginning:
Max HP
Max Gold
Lvl 1
20 point ability buy
2 traits (one campaign)
I'm coming in at level 3. Should I use average hp/level? What's my starting gold? I hope to have the mechanics done tonight. Thanks!
Sounds good, SW!
3,100 gold, reason to be explained.
Take half or roll for each level, your choice.
Thanks!
except for first level hp, i think.
Yup, thanks Sub - max at first and roll or half for advancement
Okay! Here's SW with my first draft of my PC's mechanics. Feel free to critique him. 20pt buy with 3100g, most of which went toward full plate and a cloak of resistance +1. I used full hp first level and half thereafter (it was just easier). I picture him as a sort of gentlemanly type, educated (despite the low int I chose the Cosmopolitan feat and Fencer trait). Standard 2H power attacking, cleaving build.
Now we just need a backstory!
Nice SW, looks like a tank indeed!
I like the backstory, Rufus. Leeoli will be happy to run into his old alchemy friend.
Yup, good background. I like him already, although I can't speak for Zazaria...
Hey Rufus, welcome. A bona fide fighter type would be a great addition, although I resent Hammer's implication that a magus Kenai doesn't cut the mustard in terms of muscle...
I admit that I'm ignorant of the Magus class, I just figured it was one of those 3/4 BAB classes.
Not to worry, Hammer! Vrilli has a complex. It stems from many years of his powerful Rolemaster martials braining themselves with their own weaponry. Or entangling themselves with their own bola...
I have no idea what you're talking about, Mr A ....
Actually, Vrilli isn't all that tough, so it will be great to have some real grunt up front.
Yeah Leeoli isnt either...a consistent hitter yes for medium damage, and a bit hard to hit, but...
Sorry we're glitching Rufus, we'll get it worked out. Don't worry about that map quite yet, as that is for the 2nd level, and you're not there quite yet. Can you see it at all?
Aye, it's working!
Just letting you guys know I'm watching and reading; enjoying the interaction. I'll chime in when you have a direction and intent.
I think we are ready to go upstairs again
Okay; please let me know where you want to go from here, and who's leading, and who has light sources, if you're using them
Zazaria will take second position. If ithere is an undead-shaped problem she wants to be able to react quickly.
That's an awesome alchemical description Leeoli. Which way - north or south?
Agreed! To the south.
south
Is the slightly larger prison cell with the interesting weights and chains at I23 on the map?
Sure is
Anyi, Vrilli, Zazaria, any similat preparations?
Rufus, Leeoli feel free to proceed. We can assume that the others prepare themselves as well. If there are any specific ways in which you'd recommend they prepare, please say so and we'll go on the assumption that they agreed.
Busy day today, so I may not be able to post until tomorrow. Please bot me as needed.
NP Rufus; I'll be posting the result of your most recent post around lunch time. I'll assume that Zaz hits Leeoli up with his spell unless told otherwise.
Sorry guys; Mother's Day put me out of commission...trying to get 2 kids under 10 to make the day about their mom isn't easy. Catching up today
Zazaria, is Anyi still about, and interested in continuing?
She's a bit over committed at the moment: she works for the Ministry of Health, and the start of the new financial year - and some new projects, navigating the byzantine bureaucracy means that she's extremely busy. I suspect she's unlikely to continue. What would you like to do? I can run Anyi until we're out of Harrowstone if you like.
Gotcha, no problem. Tell her she's welcome back anytime. Yes, please run Anyi till we get out then we'll write her away for the time being.
Thanks!
Hope it's cool with you, MrA - I'll post for Anyi's turn right now, as there's not a whole lot she can do. Then, we can move through the enemies and Rufus to close the round. (Like it'll be that easy...hehe.)
man I frequently write the ugliest of sentences.
Lol, well dang Rufus
do my long arms go into effect next round for the purposes of aoo?
They'd be in effect now. I have to update the map here in a minute.
Lol, well dang Rufus
Lucky first combat roll! I think I'm going to enjoy this archetype!
I really dig the stretch arms;)
So who's turn is it now? :)
Zazaria's using her go with the flow ability, so Vrilli, then Anyi; if they don't post by the morning, I will.
Vrilli - Shaken =
A shaken character takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks. Shaken is a less severe state of fear than frightened or panicked.
And no problem at all!
Ta. So I guess Vrilli's attack is even less effective then...
Lucked out Z;)
Let me know if there's anything else you'd like me to do with Anyi, she's not really built for a battle like this
Do we have an idea of where the entity is that is casting these curses?
No, there doesn't seem to be a physical representation of it.
ouch. Zaz, we could sure use another channeling blast.
I was thinking about having Leeoli try some extreme acrobatics to get past the line to attack whomever ws throwing the curses, but..
To where are you trying to move Leeoli? I can't tell on the map. You can start and restart your move action, but you can't take a 5 foot step and a move. I'll figure that handing over the siphon is a free action, as you BA is high enough. So, I think you're good, just not sure which space you wat to get to.
Note that you can seemingly occupy the same space as Rufus, as he is dead/helpless.
Lets say that Leeoli moved, attacked the skeleton in front of anyi, and then moved into the spot of the skeleton (if it was destroyed that is).
Leeoli's AC is temporarily 21 and he is preparring to parry and riposte. He can take the brunt maybe
