Rough draft of my Barbarian for DM approval. I'll add fluff and finish the details later.

Sorry, I am not authorized to view that page. (403)

Sadness.

I know y'all are either in or headed to GenCon. (And for the first time in several years, I'm actually jealous about that, so I obviously need to do something about it.)

When everyone gets back to it, please let me know about any archetypes for Davosh, Edward, Kappi, and Vojtek. Nothing more than X archetype with Y abilities, and so forth. I can tweak any non-chronicle parts pretty easily since it's not PFS (yay, a nice little respite from "run as written") and have a few ideas for such already. My philosophy is, it's your game too.

No weird archetypes for me.

The paizo booth is mobbed. Catching up now. Voytek's story is awesome. My hands are full. I'll reply in game later.


Five-star Hound of Tindalos. Er, GM. Whatever. | RoW Encounter Map | A Fistful of Flowers slides

Vojtek's story is awesome. :-)

Hey S, check out the Adventure Card game...got to playtest an early version and it looked like it would be pretty good with solid replay value.

THanks guys - I'm planning to flesh out 7 years of prequel wandering at some point detailing how he got here. It may be a challenge to fill 7 years of adventure with no leveling up :)

Basically I want to explore his relationship to the White as a god-like figure of destruction and object of vengeance, but also of worship. It should be fun.

Anyway The reason you can't view Vojtek is because I re-did him on the RoW Obsidian Portal site. He was posted on S's In Service to Lore site, but it turns out you can't transfer characters from one campaign to another on OP. Anyway look at his page on the RoW site S set up.

He is a Barbarian, planned to stay single-classed through 20. He will pursue the dragon totem chain as a tribute to his hated god enemy, the White. If his weird relationship to the dragon seems illogical, he has a 7 INT, so it doesn't have to make much sense intellectually. Suffice it to say it looms large in his mind.

A couple of wights (and failed Fort saves) here and there should take care of that. ;-)

Hey that is a GREAT idea!

best book I have read in a very very long time: The Last Centurion by John Ringo. I can't put it down.

Nice write up S. Funny thing is my background includes a dragon also, but not exactly the same thing. I need to get my wanderings down and explain my "Lame" curse.

Ohh on the Obisidian Portal site you added Vojtek as an NPC, I hope your able to change it to a PC.

DM, in our other campaign I made a GOOGLE DRIVE SPREADSHEET to track xp. I took the liberty of adding a tab to that doc to track the XP of this game as well. Shoot me your email, and I will add you to the permissions list to edit and stuff.

Hey all, sorry for the delay. I'll post in-game very shortly. GMT, I'm going straight magus, no archetypes (although I was tempted by staff magus...). What is the starting gold? I'd like to know if I can afford a bow.

I need to refresh myself on Golarian history/geography to get a good background, but I like simple: Ali here is going to be a simple adventurer. And thanks to Vojtek for giving me a nice little hook.

And I've never played a female character before; seems like PBP is the ideal way to do that.

good grief. No girls allowed. :(

150 go. I got Voytek's file. Once OP is ready, I'll post it there.

You know vojtek is not from an enlightened society, he will probably expect you to do his cooking and laundry. I will leave the other duties he might expect totally on spoken and I think we all should for the entirety of this AP.good lord

Give it a try, big boy, and see what you've got left to pull back. :-) And I expect to have EVERYTHING fully role-played. Hopefully that will reduce shenanigans. Heh.


Five-star Hound of Tindalos. Er, GM. Whatever. | RoW Encounter Map | A Fistful of Flowers slides

Vojtek has ample opportunity to grow, then, and learn that gender roles are not cast in stone. ;-)

Seriously, I am quite sure you're kidding; but as someone whose stepdaughter started to play and then actually encountered a similar attitude at a PFS table (thankfully nipped in the bud by someone else at the table, since I wasn't there), I feel compelled to address it.

That is all. Carry on!

Per Diem:
  • Rod of Grasping Hexes 3/3
  • Levitate 1/1
  • Flight Minutes 9/9
  • Healing Hex used: None
  • Icicle Wand: 22 Charges
  • No worries here. The players all know each other (mostly) in real life. Phil and Adam (Kappi and Vojtek) have been friends with me since the late 80s. Mike (Ali, since the mid-90s.)

    So I'm thinking about Davosh. He's a huge departure from my normal characters. No matter the class, I have never made CHA a dump stat. I find myself doing a lot of the talking at tables, so this is going to be tricky. It always takes a bit to get into a new PC as a role, but I definitely feel like Davosh is an amalgamation of Egg Shin (Big Trouble in Little China), Anthony Hopkins take on Van Helsing, and a bit of Mako's sorcerer from Conan.

    The Party's mean CHA is 9.8.
    Without Ali and Eddie, we sit at a 7.6.
    Ha!


    Five-star Hound of Tindalos. Er, GM. Whatever. | RoW Encounter Map | A Fistful of Flowers slides

    I presumed it was basically giving each other sh!t. :-)
    Still felt compelled to say something, on the off-chance it was not.

    In other news, I am still unable to see the Obsidian Portal page. So, rocks fall and everyone dies. LOL

    I took a look at Davosh through level 10. I'm looking mostly at debuff hexes. I'm trusting in Ali and Vojtek to plug up the enemy and Kappi to keep the enemy off guard.

    I have a little bit of healing in the mix, but if Edward can cover it, I'll add AoE spells.

    I'm planning on a nice beefy UMD so I should be able to help with supplemental healing (via devices) as well. I'm thinking Vojtek will be the combat anchor, Ali will support that (looking for flanks, targeted strikes/debuffs/spells).


    Character Sheet | Tactical Map | XP

    if you guys take a look, I have fleshed out I think the first 16 levels are so for feats and rage powers.

    I think at around level 10 I can fly which will be freaking awesome

    Grand Lodge

    Male Human Oracle 4 Paladin 5 AC= 19; T=13; FF=16; HP 88/88; Init +3; Per +9; +13F +10R +13W

    Ok I might want a bit of advice for which option to take with this party.

    My overall character idea is Oracle/Paladin combination. Oracle will end up being capped at 3rd or 4th level eventually. The rest will be Paladin, or a prestige class if I find one that would be appropriate.

    What my build will do. I will be able to Life link with 1 person/oracle level. The result will be they will gain in effect Fast Healing 5. I will take that damage. As long as they don't go out of 100ft+10ft/lvl Range. The duration is unlimited so that is pretty sweet.

    I will end up having 2 pools of channel energy to cast each day, and Lay on Hands that I will use on myself as a swift action allowing me to heal move and attack in each round.

    Now I do have the Lame curse which in effect makes me a dwarf. 20' move not affected by armor or weight.

    My question is should I work it so as to be a Melee or Ranged character?
    That question leads to a stat question. I've been debating on the priority of my stats. Since I'm effectively a HP Battery, one would think that I should have a good Con. But since it looks like I will be the party face also, Cha is usefull out of combat also.

    Melee stat priorities Con>=Cha>STR>rest
    Ranged stat Priorities Con>=Cha>Dex>rest

    Should I take my Human bonus of +2 out of Con and put it to Cha?

    If you are going for HP battery, look at ranged because it does two things: keeps you out of melee, and forces you to prioritize DEX => better AC => even less damage.

    I would go CON, DEX, CHA in that order. It kind of stinks that you are forced to build your character around our throw-away stats. :(

    Sorry.


    MAP TEMPLATES | Social Combat | War for the Crown | Campaign Tracker |

    CHA is one of the most useful stats. This is my first character eve making a dump stat. CHA covers a host of highly useful skills (Bluff, Diplomacy, UMD). It's the prime casting stat for oracles (and others) so it sets your maximum spell level, Saving Throws for your spells, and bonus spells per day. Similar to Adam's point on DEX, CHA also affects huge portions of a Paladin's abilities. Your CHA mod gets added to your saving throws, and it affects Lay on Hands.

    The difficulty (by design) is that you have multiple prime requisites. CHA is the stat that will make you most shine out in both classes. I'd go: CHA>CON=DEX. (I'd go 10, 14, 14, 10, 10, 16)

    Bah, who needs an INT when you can have a Frost Giant's Strength? With the ability to bump up to Cloud Giant level? Mwahahahaha!!

    Sorry, for my lack of posting/monitoring on the discussion tab. For some reason I didnt realize we went on to page 2.

    Mike, Im willing to work with it, but I think its weird you are playing a chick. Kappi is pretty young and is pretty intimidated because he thinks you are a couple centuries old. So he probably wont give you any trouble.


    male Human Rogue 9 HPs 69/69, AC 24, FF17 Touch19), Init +6, (fort +5, ref +13, wil +5), Trap Spotter +20

    I havnt planned out Kappi's feats or "thief powers" (I cant remember what they are called). Except for taking Trap spotter at 2nd level, I think thats a given.

    But I plan on him progressing as a thief strong in sneaking, sneak attacking, trap finding/removal, etc...
    Other then appraisal he has none of the "face type" skills.

    I've never played a female before, seemed like the right time. I don't see it as getting in the way of anything...I'm not planning on being seductive or anything, so if anyone *else* decides to bring baggage attached to a male playing a female character...we'll have to deal with that. :-)

    May I suggest "fast stealth" for an early rogue talent? If you're going to be strong in sneaking, that's a must, IMHO. You're right about trapspotter--that's too good not to have.

    Play female all ya want ya pansy!!!

    Actually I have no problem with it. We will just have to deal with Edward's code. I still have yet to write it, but it will include aiding the weak and defenseless. The question will be how long till you prove to him that your not weak or meek. :)

    In my mmo's I play female toons cuz that's what I like to look at. So have at it big boy :)

    The funny thing is, Chris (Davosh) is a teacher at the middle school where me, Phil (Kappi) and him all went together. And while we were there we spent an inordinate amount of time playing D&D. Often in class. And one of the teachers who would consistently catch us and take our Basic D&D books away is teaching just down the hall from him.
