Gnick Gnack Paddywack's Rise of Tiamat (Inactive)

Game Master JASON RODARTE


1 to 50 of 91 << first < prev | 1 | 2 | next > last >>

Hi all, I am looking to start a Pathfinder version of the above game to take place in the World of Greyhawk. Looking for 4-6 players.
Character Creation rules would be:

25pt buy
Races need to be justified except for CORE
2 Traits, .
Average Gold.
No Evil
No gunslinger but Advanced Class is allowed (just no gun options if a swashbuckler).
Gods need to come from the World of Greyhawk.

I hope to make a determination by Friday.

Those chosen have to be able to post several times per day except for weekends.

Any questions?


I'm a bit fuzzy on what ROTL is.

I edited it out.


How do you feel about 3PP content? (Mainly spellbook supplements - 1001 Spells, Deep Magic, etc.) Total ban, totally accepted, depends on what it is...?

Liberty's Edge

interested and will get something in asap


I prefer the Pathfinder stuff.


Here is a list I found of the Greyhawk deities converted to Pathfinder:

https://metzger.obsidianportal.com/wiki_pages/greyhawk-deities-master-list


So, I'm interested, but I just have a concern about what you want with posting several times a day. I can post in the evenings and mornings everyday, but i'm limited on day posts Mondays and Wednesdays, and have more availability on other days. Otherwise, I'm interested and will get something set up. I just bring this up to begin with and would hate to be picked under false pretenses and have everyone waiting on me.


Submitting Golmar Almarch, 'Hoss' extraordinaire.

Anything you need on a background? Like, are there events going on that we know about, or is that relatively unimportant?

Edit: Background & Personality updated.


A little background and personality would be nice.

I am reading the module so I can get back to what you might be aware of.

@ Thalos: Thank you.


Thanks for the update.


Here's my submission, a Paladin named Kouran, he'll eventually progress into Dragon Disciple, fitting with the name of the campaign.

CLASS ABILITIES
------------------------------
Aura of Good: The power of a paladin's aura of good (see the detect good spell) is equal to her paladin level.
Detect Evil: At will, a paladin can use detect evil, as the spell. A paladin can, as a move action, concentrate on a single item or individual within 60 feet and determine if it is evil, learning the strength of its aura as if having studied it for 3 rounds. While focusing on one individual or object, the paladin does not detect evil in any other object or individual within range.
Smite Evil: Once per day, a paladin can call out to the powers of good to aid her in her struggle against evil. As a swift action, the paladin chooses one target within sight to smite. If this target is evil, the paladin adds her Cha bonus (if any) to her attack rolls and adds her paladin level to all damage rolls made against the target of her smite. If the target of smite evil is an outsider with the evil subtype, an evil-aligned dragon, or an undead creature, the bonus to damage on the first successful attack increases to 2 points of damage per level the paladin possesses. Regardless of the target, smite evil attacks automatically bypass any DR the creature might possess.
In addition, while smite evil is in effect, the paladin gains a deflection bonus equal to her Charisma modifier (if any) to her AC against attacks made by the target of the smite. If the paladin targets a creature that is not evil, the smite is wasted with no effect.
The smite evil effect remains until the target of the smite is dead or the next time the paladin rests and regains her uses of this ability. At 4th level, and at every three levels thereafter, the paladin may smite evil one additional time per day, as indicated on Table: Paladin, to a maximum of seven times per day at 19th level.

Backstory:
Spoiler:

Kouran was always a large child, and he used his bulk to protect kids around him from various bullies in his village. However, he occasionally lost his temper and attacked those around him in an almost feral way. At a young age, he was sent to a monastery after seriously hurting an older boy in a fist-fight. Thanks to the best efforts of the monks to help him control his temper, he created a personal code that allows him to help protect those weaker than him, while not hurting people unnecessarily. Since then, he has travelled the world, doing everything he can to uphold his code, usually attempting to either pacify or intimidate those who he opposes rather than attacking them on sight.


I would love to join in on this if it's alright with you! I assume this is a level 1 campaign start?


I'd like to draw up a Shadowcaster illusionist, if that's fine with everyone. I had the stats to post, but the site went and reset on me halfway... *sigh* Gonna have to redraw the whole thing up... The other option is an old fashioned necromancer.

Ok, let me know.


I've got an alchemist (with a level of fighter in the build) planned. Need to refresh my familiarity with Greyhawk before I cam make a suitable background.

Is it alright if I play as an Aasimar?

Alright, I'll rewrite her up. One Female Half-elf Shadow Illusionist (Shadowcaster archetype) coming up!

Aasimar are like Tieflings, they can show up wherever there are humans that commingle with the Upper and Lower planes. As to why one's adventuring, this one was born in the slums and feels the need to hunt down evil beings as a bounty hunter.


Not to speak for you Gnick Gnak, but Jiraiya, I believe the DM is asking what specifically about your character's background makes it imperative that you play an aasimar, as opposed to a humanoid from the Core Rulebook.


That is correct, Golmar.

I'm putting together a life oracle.

@Gnick Gnak PaddyWack: Any idea what part of the setting you are starting the adventure? Just curious for character background development.

Silver Crusade

Never actually played in Greyhawk but I have always liked Trithereon. Interested but as Fanguar said as well I would be interested in the setting of the adventure for helping with a background and character.


Character will be a fighter/alchemist. Still didn't get a chance to dig out my Greyhawk book to dig out figure out a background.


Alright, here are the stats for my Sorceress, I'll have a background up later today as well.

Traits: Signature Moves, Survivor
Feats: Toughness, Skill Focus (Sense Motive), Scribe Scroll
------------------------------
RACIAL ABILITIES
------------------------------
Thinblood Resilience (from the Underdark) [BOG]: Half-Elves from the underdark with this racial trait are accustomed to torture at the hands of their drow forebears, and gain a +2 racial bonus on Fortitude saves against poison and disease, including magical diseases. Darkborn also gain the poison use ability and never risk accidentally poisoning themselves. This racial trait replaces the elven immunities racial trait.

Adaptability: Half-elves receive Skill Focus as a bonus feat at 1st level.

Wary Many half-elves have spent their long lives moving from place to place, often driven out by the hostility of others. Such experiences have made them wary of others' motivations. Half-elves with this trait gain a +1 racial bonus on Sense Motive and Bluff checks. This racial trait replaces the keen senses racial trait.

Drow-Blooded Some half-elves born of drow parents exhibit more drow traits than others—particularly many of the physical features of the drow—and have darkvision 60 feet and light blindness. This racial trait replaces the low-light vision racial trait.

Elf Blood: Half-elves count as both elves and humans for any effect related to race.

Multitalented: Half-elves choose two favored classes at first level and gain +1 hit point or +1 skill point whenever they take a level in either one of those classes. (Wizard, Rogue)

------------------------------
CLASS ABILITIES
------------------------------
Spells: As normal

Cantrips: As normal

Arcane School: Illusion (Shadow)

Forbidden Schools: Necromancy and Transmutation

Extended Illusions (Su): Any illusion spell you cast with a duration of “concentration” lasts a number of additional rounds equal to 1/2 your wizard level after you stop maintaining concentration (minimum +1 round). At 20th level, you can make one illusion spell with a duration of “concentration” become permanent. You can have no more than one illusion made permanent in this way at one time. If you designate another illusion as permanent, the previous permanent illusion ends.

Binding Darkness (Sp): As a standard action, you cast a weave of shadows at any foe within 30 feet as a ranged touch attack. The shadows entangle your foe for 1 round plus 1 additional round for every five wizard levels you possess. In conditions of bright light, this duration is halved (minimum 1 round). A creature entangled by your shadows has concealment from those without darkvision or the ability to see in darkness, and other creatures likewise have concealment relative to it. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Intelligence modifier.

Shadow Spells (Su): At 1st level, a shadowcaster uses his shadow to prepare additional spells. He must spend his entire period of spell preparation in dim illumination to use this ability. He may prepare a number of additional spell levels of spells equal to the level of the highest-level wizard spell he can cast. For example, if he can cast 6th-level wizard spells, he could prepare six 1st-level spells, two 3rd level-spells, or any similar combination that adds up to a total of six spell levels. These spells are stored in his shadow. He can only cast these spells when he is in an area of normal light or dim light. He gains Shadowtongue as a bonus language. This ability replaces arcane bond.

Tarik of Urnst

Tarik was a young chymist apprentice studying in Radigast City (in the County of Urnst). Swept up in the civil war which briefly rent the nation, he was drafted into service with the Countess as a soldier. His deft hands meant he was assigned to be a bowman. Eventually the troubles calmed, and the opposing parties made peace. Finding out that his old master had died in the troubles, he went wandering across the Flaeness. Hoping to eventually get back on track with his old profession, he does practice his old trade to the extent that he remembers it.

Where does one find the rules for Shadowcasters? I don't see them anywhere in the d20PFSRD.

Just curious since I've never seen them before.


Sukari, are you using the Advanced Races guide for the drow half-elf?

One of your traits has a BOG after, what does BOG stand for?


I think Shadowcasters are from Inner Sea Magic?


OK, found it.

Now I know why I've been confused. The person refers to the PC as their sorceress, even though it is a wizard.

I thought of putting an idea for a mounted gnome summoner which might work ... have the idea he was mistakenly thinking himself a magnificent cavalier on his golden dragon steed (serpentine eidion, think Chinese dragon dancing dragon). A kind of Don Quioxte, misguided hero.

I can provide the stats when I get home.

If you like the idea, then he might not be powerful, but he might be fun ....

I'm a UK player, just so you know I will be posting.


Lets see is starts in and around Goeff. There doesnt seem to be much there in terms of established history. Depending on how things go I might extend the adventures to Against the Giants.

Norman:

Norman spent his childhood reading, studying and reading, and the books he chose were those histories and legends of heroes past, the dead god Aroden and any others. When he wasn't reading, he and his friends played out these legends, being famous dragon slayers or leading the armies of Mendev against daemons of the worldwound.

He grew and has continued his love of books, visiting bookshops at every opportunity. It was in one of these forays that he found the Arcanis Adventuis: Dracones de Plano externae, which not only described the great and ancient dragons of the outer planes, but hidden within the way to summon them and do your bidding. It was here he found a way to summon the dragon that he now rides and lives out his adventures, making his own legend.

Oh just been in Golarion mode, substitute Greyhawk places etc, to ov to the right setting.

Well, I'll let you be the judge.

Backstory:
In the church of Xan Yae there is a well-known but little mentioned sect devoted to delivering vengeance on behalf of those with willing purses but deficient skill at arms. Tom Gendry was born into this sect. Trained from birth to be a killer for hire, Tom reconciled his angelic nature with his family's violent profession by only taking on jobs where the target of Xan Yae's vengeance was a true monster. His family pressured him more and more to take on more morally grey jobs in the service to Xan Yae. Eventually his sister locked him and a merchant whose cart had splashed mud on the wrong noble into a hut together, threatening to not let Tom out until he'd "toughened up." Tom spent the better part of a day quietly drilling a hole in the wall of the hut before slipping away from his sister and the rest of his family for good. Now a bounty hunter, Tom still delivers Xan Yae's vengeance to those he feels are deserving.

Let me know if Aasimar is ok or not, if not I'll rework him as a half-elf or something.


I would rather not have aasimars.

Male gnome, and I need to up him to a 25 point buy ...

With 25 pt buy, Strength goes from 10->12, Wisdom 8->9 and Char 11->12, with associated changes to skills etc.

Liberty's Edge

I've got a Half-Orc Shield Champion Brawler I'm chomping at the bit to play.

My setting-neutral personality/background is that she's a freedom-fighter type that is inclined to distrust large, heavily organized groups with specific agendas, even when that group's goals or ethics align with hers.

Taking a rough pass at plugging that into the setting, I'm thinking that perhaps her parents were forced to give her up due to commitments to the Harpers and spent her young life in an orphanage as a result. While she bears some personal animosity towards the Harpers as a result, she takes much greater issue with their tendency for "ends justify the means" approach to world-saving.

If this sounds like someone you'd want in the campaign, I can have the crunch up later tonight or tomorrow.

Alright, I am now a half-elf.


Since someone's doing a slayer, I could put together a dwarf warpriest for additional healing and offense. would just need to come up with a background.
