In the City of the Drow

Game Master Castle Blades

The Drow city of Kev'ronn is one that everyone knows, after all it is the only one that rises above the surface. Many people head to the city to trade and receive the quality items that are made by the Drow there. It's not strange for the occasional person to go missing in the city, after all that happens even in the most normal of cities, but one day, a very important person goes missing, Father Dawnsinger, a cleric of the Platinum Dragon Balserius. There are many reports of two Drow entering the temple, but none ever walking out. Investigation reveals no signs of struggle or any blood. For some reason you are in the city, whether it be to do some trading, look for an adventure or maybe someone you knew disappeared.

Looking for 4 to 6 players all 5th level.

Races: Any allowed even 3rd party, just need to run them by me first.

Classes: All, including 3rd party, just run them by me first and the Gunslinger will have to fire against regular AC and they can only have early firearms.

Stats: Roll 3d8 for each stat individually

Traits: 2 traits and one drawback for an additional trait.

Religion: All of the Golarion gods exist here along with some of my own ones.

I think that covers all my personal rules, if there are any questions please ask me.

DOT

Path of War, Ultimate Psionics, Spheres of Power, and Pact Magic permitted?

Last two can be found here ... SOP Wiki

Just making sure but that is 3d8 for stats? Any Min or Max?

I'll allow those, and yes you take your total roll for the stats.

1: 3d8 ⇒ (4, 6, 5) = 15
2: 3d8 ⇒ (2, 3, 6) = 11
3: 3d8 ⇒ (3, 2, 5) = 10
4: 3d8 ⇒ (3, 6, 1) = 10
5: 3d8 ⇒ (7, 5, 2) = 14
6: 3d8 ⇒ (3, 8, 2) = 13

LOL, I hope someone has better luck than me and I will see what I can do with my rolls.

Anytime I see roll for stats I feel as if I have to and I like the idea of a Drow city setting.

Stat 1: 3d8 ⇒ (8, 1, 1) = 10
Stat 2: 3d8 ⇒ (7, 7, 3) = 17
Stat 3: 3d8 ⇒ (3, 1, 7) = 11
Stat 4: 3d8 ⇒ (6, 6, 8) = 20
Stat 5: 3d8 ⇒ (7, 8, 2) = 17
Stat 6: 3d8 ⇒ (6, 8, 6) = 20

Pretty good, pretty good. Will you be using maps and will there be downtime for crafting and the such? How sandboxy is this adventure? Starting wealth? That's all my questions for now. Sorry.

I will try to get a good map of the whole world, but I might not be able to get a detailed map of combat situations, I will see what I can do. There will be downtime for that stuff, you won't be forced into anything, but I try to have my world be alive, so if something isn't messed with something might happen. Very sandboxy, basically you get to do what you want within the rules of the civilization you live in, all I did in the intro post was set up a hook that you don't have to bite on. The starting wealth will be the average for your level, so 10500 Gp.

Interested

I feel obliged to roll for stats whenever I see a campaign that does so.

Not bad, is this a straight roll or are you allowing re rolls of 1's

ohh, interesting. What to make...

Will you allow the race builder? Monstrous characters? Templates?

Any restrictions on gear other than with caster level limits if Magical items is permitted?

What I could do with my rolls ...

Hmm, why not?

I'll have to think about it.

I take it alignment is not of the evil Drow variety?

No Race builder, no monster characters, depends on the template.

I take it the city is in the darklands?

Do surface dwellers visit there?

As I said in the into, the city is on the surface and a place of commerce.

hmmm...

3d8 ⇒ (1, 4, 3) = 8

hmmm.... those are some rough rolls! But I've wanted to do spheres of power for so long!

The combination of 3rd party, sandboxy campaign and rolling for stats is too good to pass.

I won't complain, not at all sir.

I will think what I want to bring to the table and return shortly!

Thank you, I will adjust my build for LE and one other thing, and work on my fluff/gear tonight.

@Louxman, those rolls are still good enough to work with.

This stat rolling option is interesting. Perhaps I'll see what I roll and what I can come up with.

3d8 ⇒ (8, 1, 1) = 10
3d8 ⇒ (2, 3, 5) = 10
3d8 ⇒ (6, 3, 6) = 15
3d8 ⇒ (2, 8, 5) = 15
3d8 ⇒ (3, 3, 6) = 12
3d8 ⇒ (1, 8, 8) = 17

Decent stat options. I'll see what I can come up with.

Stat 1: 3d8 ⇒ (2, 7, 1) = 10
Stat 2: 3d8 ⇒ (4, 4, 2) = 10
Stat 3: 3d8 ⇒ (2, 4, 5) = 11
Stat 4: 3d8 ⇒ (5, 5, 2) = 12
Stat 5: 3d8 ⇒ (6, 5, 3) = 14
Stat 6: 3d8 ⇒ (1, 8, 6) = 15

Well that blows. Sounds like a fun campaign, but these stats are awful compared to the other rolls on here. Good luck!

Ok, I have an idea for a former bandit who's wife was captured and sold into slavery. He's been tracking her down for years, and his bet lead says she's in this city.

He's a sniper by training (gunslinger bolt ace).

He's been sneaking and infiltrating across much of Golarion and even into parts of the Darklands. Now to make that possible, I'd like disguise as a class skill, but he's a gunslinger and it's not practical to do that and still be useful with a crossbow (they are rather feat intensive). If there were a trait which gave disguise as a class skill I'd be good, but I can't find one outside of campaign traits. Is it possible to put one together? It would be much like any other trait which grants a class skill.

Well I have had this idea for a really neat sounding character for a while now and this might be a good place to make him come alive :)
The basic idea is that of a Whitesmith quadriplegic who animates his prosthetic limbs to help him get around.
The basic gist is this: Amputated limb -> wears fake arm -> casts Animate Object on the fake arm, granting it the Graft ability -> uses Personal Refinement to maintain the effect.
End effect is that I have a fully functioning arm made out of metal that lasts indefinitely. (It also has a tiny sized slam attack if I want to go that route for my combat style)

After all that then I will be doing other things to give him a metal focus, things like taking the Transformation feat to transform him into a pseudo-construct, the Ascetic Control talent to eliminate those fleshy needs, and other things like gearing my Casting Tradition around metal themes (Obvious Enhancements granting a steel-like sheen to creatures, same for Unnatural Transformations. Enhancement Dependency alse seems very thematic).
Now I am unsure if I am going to stay a pure Whitesmith or if I want to multiclass into Incanter for extra Talents :/

Fluff wise, he would have gotten himself captured by the Drow a time ago, and for a time. Then a family member would have paid a small fortune to get him back and the Drow agreed. What Drow did not say however, is that they had already tortured him, and so they sent him back as a quadriplegic.
Back home (in a blacksmiths shop) there was nothing for him to do, but with great effort, and very slowly (he had lots of time) he begun to learn Enhancement magic. His first great achievement was when he was able to make a dolls hand clutch a doorknob and open it for himself, without the help of anyone else. Then over time he had a set of prosthetic limbs created for him (again, blacksmiths forge) and he then practiced moving around with those until he could do so almost effortlessly. Finally he had gained his mobility back and with it his freedom, even if he could no longer feel anything, and even if he had started becoming more and more like the metal he relied on, at least he could move!
And thats the start of it anyways :P

A question for the setting: you did say it was sandboxy but are you expecting us to go into the Underdark for/against the Drow or are we going to be doing things any surface dweller might do? I was thinking of using the Drow as a kind of feared background hook, or at least someone to have a grudge against but I dont want to me shootinf myself in the foot :p

Color me interested.

GM, I'm shooting you a PM. I've got an idea, but I'd like some input on it before I go wild with it.

Nevermind. I didn't know I couldn't send you a PM.

Regarding the setting, it is a sandbox so you can do and go where you want, and as I have said before, the Drow city is not in the underdark.

I meant go through the city into the underdark. I figured since it is a Drow city, it must have connections below.

Oh, I love sandbox pnp. Let's see what I can come up with.

Stat: 3d8 ⇒ (5, 7, 5) = 17
Stat: 3d8 ⇒ (3, 3, 4) = 10
Stat: 3d8 ⇒ (4, 5, 3) = 12
Stat: 3d8 ⇒ (3, 6, 8) = 17
Stat: 3d8 ⇒ (4, 4, 8) = 16
Stat: 3d8 ⇒ (8, 4, 7) = 19

Those stats should work.

Oh, yes there is a way in

I think I'm required to try and come up with something given those rolls.

Whenever I get the required amount of players.

Would you allow an elf (probably wizard) in Kev'ronn? Maybe some captive?

Yes, do you know why they might be a captive?

Given my less than stellar rolls (17, 16, 16, 9, 8, 7) would you be open to a Gathlain Eliciter

A sort of face come manipulator but very physically frail?
