Kingmaker: Conquest of the Stolen Lands (Inactive)

Game Master Aqua-Thor

Level- Gestalt 1

HP- Maximum 1st level, roll every additional level. Retraining HP from Ultimate Campaigns is available.

Ability Scores- I will be using a 24 point buy, single point scaling method. Basically, each score is set to 10 and it only takes a single point to raise a stat by one. You may also, if you need a few points, subtract up to 2 from a single score to gain that number of points that you can redistribute. No score may be above 18 or below 08 before racial modifiers. You may also 'buy off' a racial penalty to a stat by spending a respective number of points, such as paying 2 points to eliminate a Dwarf's CHA penalty.

Classes- All official Paizo classes are allowed. 3PP material is available if I own the book. Ask away. Auto accept includes Dreamscarred Psionics, Radiance Pact Magic. No Path of War, please. Label any element of your character crunch not from a Paizo hardcover with its source.

Races- All official Paizo races on the SRD, I require at least one Human character in the party, due to the patron which sends the PCs to claim the Stolen Lands. Like classes, etc. I will consider 3PP if I own the book it is from. It can't hurt to ask. I will admit to a prejudice toward humans, but can easily overcome it for a compelling character.

Alignment: I have a preference for non-evil but am willing to entertain all alignments. No loners! Whatever the alignment.

Feat- You gain a Bonus Feat at 1st level. No leadership.

Skill Points- I will be using the background skills option from Unchained.

Traits: You start out with 2 Traits and a Campaign Trait. You may also reflavor Traits, so long as they make sense, and may take an additional Trait if you take a Drawback.

Starting Wealth- 200 GP, plus a single, non-magical, non-royal outfit of your choice, which must make sense with your character. You also have a free, nearly blank map of the Stolen Lands that just basically has it's borders, and small outskirts from other River Kingdoms. Spellcasters with spellbooks may purchase additional spells, but they must pay for a scroll of appropriate level, then the cost of inscribing in your spellbook.

I need a good general background about who your character is and what brought him to Restov, not a novel, but enough to make me interested in working with him or her for (hopefully) many months. This should include an enemy candidate of some sort, someone you care about who I could mess with, and how you came to the attention of some noble (enough for the letter of introduction below.) Do not use Alystair in your background; everyone should be new/untied to him. I want to see your traits evident in your background somewhere, and your other crunch as appropriate

I need a letter of introduction from a noble, high or low, of Brevoy somewhere, OR a damn good reason why not and a damn good reason Lord Alystair would consider you for the position. Write it as the noble; your character can be aware or unaware of the contents as you choose.

I need a set of goals, both yours and your character's, so I know what you hope to gain during the campaign. (no promises.)

"Will you be allowing crafting?"

Yes, with a few minor changes. The biggest of which will be splitting craft miscellaneous item into a different feat for each of the body slots and one for unslotted items, so craft magical waist item, craft magical hand item, craft magical neck item, etc. . . If you take a feat with the intention of crafting a specific item, check with me first. I don't want to disappoint you or retcon a feat choice.

"Can I create a race using the rules in the advanced Race Guide?"

No.

"Can I use a monster race or template as one side of my gestalt?

No.

Shi'Vatha, which in the Celestial tongue means 'Seeker of Evil', Warden Archon of the 7th Tome Zaphkiel was never a very good Warden Archon. Or rather, he was a very good Warden, and little escaped his notice.
But he was not stoic and stone faced like the other Warden Archons. He enjoyed listening to stories, he smiled at things the others found no more important than a stray breeze.

So when Iomedae came seeking an entity willing to form a bond with one of his chosen Paladins, not as a spirit companion, nor even an animal companion, but as a lowly summoned creature of little power, Shi'Vatha thought for only a few minutes before grinning at the god and stepping forward.

Iomedae was not sure of this choice, but it would be dishonorable to turn down one who had volunteered to give up so much. And so Shi'Vatha gave up the power he had and bonded to Casarina Methaila, a valiant Aasimar Summoner Paladin of Iomedae.

Shi'Vatha was not as strong as most eidelon's, due to his summoner's primary path being that of a Paladin, however, he was an excellent scout, his small feline form allowing him to sneak through places Casarina could not and ferret out information for her.

The two were quite the well known pair in the Church of Iomedae, and got many of the most dangerous assignments. They were well respected, even though the two had something of an odd couple feel to them, for Shi had a wicked sense of humor, while Casarina had no sense of humor at all.

The church respected the pair, none-the-less, for they were especially well known for tracking down dangerous artifacts and destroying them, wherever they might be hiding (or hiden!). However, they were also very good at investigating mysteries as well.

It was on one such assignment that the team met a horrible ending of their pact. Casarina had been tasked with investigating the sudden betrayal by a priest of his flock, and subsequent sacrificing of many of them to some unknown entity.

The pair did as they normally did, Shi'Vatha scouting ahead (although close enough not to lose his life force from being too far separated from his partner), and Casarina dispatching foes with the occasional assistance from Shi'Vatha.

Unfortunately, they fell into a trap devised by those who had turned the priest. The two were captured, and taken to an evil cave where blood was spilled in a horrifying magical rite. Casarina's mind was broken with fell magic, and her former good and right nature turned to chaos and evil. Casarina awakened and began to walk the path of an anti-paladin summoner.

The ritual did not go as expected though, for it had not been performed on someone who was both a Paladin and Summoner before. Casarina's tie to Shi'Vatha was rent assunder, both gaining a burning rune on their forehead as the bond was rent. Casarina could not summon a new eidelon, and Shi'Vatha could not return to his home.

Casarina was afraid to kill her former ally, for fear her ability to summon, or use summoner magic, would also be destroyed permanently. So she locked the catlike eidelon in a steel cage and tortured it when bored.

After several months of such treatment, amazingly, Shi'Vatha's shattered mind began to reform, the madness induced by the destruction of his bond receding, and his original good and upright nature returning. Finding himself suddenly able to control his own evolution, he waited for Casarina to depart on a murder spree, and evolved an upper torso, turning himself into a taur. Using his newfound hands and skills, he used a bent nail from the wooden floor of his cell to pick the lock and flee back to the church to tell them what had happened.

The church of Iomedae is nothing if not loyal, and Shi had shown such loyalty as few have for the church. However, his manners and mannerisms were not... exactly what they expected of either a paladin or a paladin's creature. And his newfound (and understandable) attitude of Antipathy toward Paladins was also something of an embarrassment.

So while the church is still very friendly toward Shi, and accords him a priest of Iomedae, he is not sought after often to go on missions. Indeed, while he's still accorded all priestly ranks and favor, Shi has officially gone on 'sabbatical'.

The church, wanting to do right by Shi'Vatha, has asked the Brevoy lords who are mounting an expedition to the Stolen Lands to employ Shi'Vatha in their group. They feel getting him away from church politics and the Paladin training grounds would be good for both the church and their loyal priest in absentia.

Also, I picked a small MW longbow for the free MW weapon. Shi's proficient with all martial and simple weapons (outsider). I figured since he's not likely to ever need melee weapons, a ranged weapon made most sense. I spent 200gp in starting funds to add the +2 STR bonus to the MW bow.

Racial mods : Str +4, Dex +4, Con +2, Int -4

Small Mods : Str -4, Dex +2, Con -2
Stat Spending : Str (4) Dex (4) Con (4) Int (6) Wis (2), Cha (2) Buy off -4 Int Penalty (4)
Because Shi is small, he has a str cancelling penalty, gains 2 dex, and loses 2 con. He'll likely become Medium sized at some point, and gain +4 str, -2 dex, and +2 con.

A large part of his point buy went toward the INT, because Eidelon's are normally dumb, but he isn't.

Note that as he levels up, he gains Str/Dex ever few levels, so those stats will increase over time.

Born a war orphan of Varisian parents, Hatham lived much of his early life moving from base camp to base camp, learning the idiosyncrasies of military life. Once he was old enough to hold a dagger, his lithe frame and quick eyes were put to use scouting forward positions against the savages in the Tian lands, until he had earned enough coin to return to the land of his birth. Upon arriving, he found an old letter implying that some inheritance was owed him due to his parents' service on behalf of Ustalav. This has inexplicably led him to a pub in Brevoy, seeking out Lord Boehnre. With little left in his coffers, Hatham has been living off the land on the long road and is quite ready for a bed that doesn't hang between trees.

Norvallen de'Naoch was raised south of Brevoy in Rostland, raised amongst the picturesque fields and forests underneath that beautiful sky. His family worked the fields as did he, planting and gathering the crops. Both his father Darin and mother Katrina may be reserve soldiers for Rostland, but as they grew older they simply pass down skills to their children.
Of the five children, Norvallen is the second oldest, he has one older sister and three younger ones. A nightmare for any male, of course. As it stands, Norvallen is the only one to not share any features with the rest or his parents. Its easy to tell, with Norvallen's near-white hair and features that he isn't Rostland stock of blood. Norvallen was adopted as a young babe of three, after his mother fled from the Southern lands with him and weakening each day from wounds and fever. Darin and Katrina took in Norvallen as one of their own, as the young mother passed away, though Darin was guiltily glad to finally have a son to teach and take care of after three daughters were born to him. The fourth daughter born simply cemented the decision in his mind. The fact his son's hair would literally grab things and act like a limb could be ignored for finally having a son.
From his father, he was taught him most of what he knows; the skills to hunt and forage in the thick forests, the time and care of the farm, and the skills of fighting unarmed or with a crossbow. His mother taught him a little of cooking, but she tended to have her hands full with four daughters clamoring for her attention when chores weren't about to be given out.
The magical side of his skills? Those were an inheritance of his mother, whose familiar stayed and watched over him. It was a strange creature, a swoop lizard named Sama, that his mother and father originally wary of but later accepted the presence of when it never attacked their children. When it started hunting mice and rats to feed itself, it was may as well been the family pet to Darin. Over the years and with some difficulty, the strange creature helped teach Norvallen the ways of magic by trial, error, and the general feeling coming from the strange creature on whether he was doing something right, wrong, or the "Oh God, run!" moments.
Joining the militia for the hometown opened his eyes to his differences. There, he learned of the fear and ire towards Issia. Just how different he was in looks, from the shape of his eyes and chin along with his hair color. Still, he was a Rostlander and he did what he could to live up its ideals. He hunted the wild beasts that preyed upon herds and men, patrolled the nights for dangers, and followed the drills for when, not if, Issia would finally push too hard. If he could forget that bastard Devon, his foolish attempts at bullying or showing up Norvallen, and his supposedly woeful tales of being ignored by his noble father rather then accepting his status as an unwanted bastard, all the better. Devon hated Norvallen, often claiming that he wasn't a true rostlander and shouldn't be in the militia due to that fact. Many a fault and mistakes at Devon's hands were often tried to be explained away as Norvallen's, if not an out right attempt at framing him. Fortune was on Norvallen's hands, as the truth came out and Devon was told to leave the service. Devon swore vengeance upon Norvallen in any way he could, but left in search of fame, fortune, and over time food. His fate is unknown to Norvallen, but the last he heard was a rumor of an adventuring band accepting him.
The change in Norvallen's life came after his eldest sister Nadia already had left for the Stolen Lands with her soon-to-be husband, looking to try to settle in there. Ambrelic Donovan, a high nobleman visiting the area for a selection of wine, lost his son in the thick woods and the sun was fast approaching. His own guards had failed to find the boy, and in fear requested the militia's help for the search and in hopes nothing horrible has happened to his heir.
Speeding through the woods, catching sight of a track here and there with Sama flying over head looking as well, Norvallen found the small child huddled underneath a fallen tree as a pair of wolves surrounded it. The beasts were digging at the ground, trying to widen the small gap to get at the child, growling all the while. The first never knew what hit it, as a mass of white hair struck out and slammed into the beast's head with an eldritch blue glow, knocking it out right before a second blow by Norvallen's foot snapped its neck. The second beast took longer, but slowly fell under the assault of magical prehensile hair, fists, and feet. Healing the child's wounds, and feeding him some berries that were safe found along the way, the pair returned with the two wolf carcasses trailing them. At the town where the nobleman was still shouting for someone to do something or search faster, Ambrelic Donovan was most grateful for his son's return, offered a notable amount of gold as a reward. Upon hearing the child's tales, and noting the two wolf carcasses outside waiting to go to the tanner, Ambrelic mentioned that Lord Alystair Boehnre was looking for people to make another expedition to help the Greenbelt. Writing a letter and giving it to Norvallen, he wishes him well and leaves to take further care of his son.
Having mulled over it a couple days, Norvallen decided to try to take up the offer and left most of the rewarded gold to his parents, some to equip himself and pay for the journey. Rostland needs the favor of the Stolenlands to counter Issia, and this job might build the good will to protect his family and home.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
------------------------------

Crafter (Ex)

A machinesmith adds half his class level (minimum 1) to all Craft skill checks.

Prototypes (Su)

Machinesmiths can forge steel and manufacture ordinary items superior than those made by mundane masters at their craft. But their true power comes from being able to imbue prototypes they make with mobius energy. Machinesmiths spend their time creating magically imbued prototypes that can mimic certain spells. A machinesmith prepares them by manufacturing a small, hand-held prototype, and then activates them by imbuing the prototype with mobius energy before activating it. When a machinesmith creates a prototype, he infuses the machine with a tiny fraction of his own magical power. Prototypes behave in some ways like spells, and as such their effects can be dispelled by effects like dispel magic, or resisted with spell resistance, using the machinesmith's level as the caster level. Feats, traits, and other abilities that alter or improve spells do not otherwise affect prototypes. Prototypes known may be used in the creation of magic items as if they were spells.

A machinesmith can create only a certain number of prototypes of each level per day. His base daily allotment of prototypes is given on Table: Machinesmith. In addition, he receives bonus prototypes per day if he has a high Intelligence score, in the same way a wizard receives bonus spells per day. When a machinesmith imbues a prototype with mobius energy, he infuses the machine with magic siphoned from his own magical aura. A prototype immediately becomes inert if it leaves the machinesmith's possession, reactivating as soon as it returns to his keeping—a machinesmith cannot pass out his prototypes for allies to use. A prototype, once created, remains potent for 1 day before becoming inert, so a machinesmith must re-make his prototypes every day. Making a prototype takes 1 minute of work—most machinesmiths prepare many prototypes at the start of the day or just before going on an adventure, but it's not uncommon for a machinesmith to keep some (or even all) of his daily prototype slots open so that he can prepare prototypes in the field as needed. If the machinesmith is interrupted while preparing a prototype, they must succeed in a Concentration check, or the prototype slot is used up. Although the machinesmith doesn't actually cast spells, he does have a prototype list that determines what prototypes he can create. A machinesmith can utilize spell-trigger items if the spell appears on his prototype list, but not spell-completion items (unless he uses Use Magic Device to do so). When a prototype is released, it exactly duplicates the spell upon which it is based. The machinesmith uses his level as the caster level to determine any effect based on caster level. Creating prototypes consumes raw materials, but machinesmiths regularly collect odd bits and pieces of scrap in their travels, making the cost of these materials insignificant—comparable to the valueless material components of most spells. They only require their trusty set of artisan's tools and blueprint book to construct a prototype.

If a spell normally has a costly material component, that component is expended during the consumption of that particular prototype. A machinesmith can prepare any prototype found within his blueprint book. Blueprints are the directions for creating prototypes, akin to inscribed spells or scrolls, that only machinesmiths can decipher. To learn or use a prototype from a blueprint, a machinesmith must have an Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the prototype's level. The DC for a saving throw against a machinesmith's prototype is 10 + the prototype level + the machinesmith's Intelligence modifier. A blueprint book may hold any number of prototype blueprints. The machinesmith must refer to his blueprint book, as a wizard refers to their spellbook, whenever he prepares a prototype but not when he consumes it. A machinesmith begins play with two 1st level prototype blueprints of his choice, plus a number of additional blueprints equal to his Intelligence modifier. At each new machinesmith level, he gains one new blueprint of any level that he can create. Adding a blueprint to his collection requires the same costs and time requirements as a wizard adding that same spell to their spellbook. A machinesmith can study a wizard or magus's spellbook to learn any blueprints that are equivalent to a spell the spellbook contains. A wizard or magus, however, cannot learn spells from a blueprint. A machinesmith does not need to decipher arcane writings before copying the blueprint

Repair (Su)

A machinesmith can fix broken items with a mere touch. This acts the same as the spell mending, with a few exceptions. The machinesmith repairs 1d6 points of damage plus 1d6 points of damage for every other machinesmith level beyond first (2d6 at 3rd, 3d6 at 5th, and so on). The machinesmith can repair a number of times per day equal to 3 + his Intelligence modifier. Unlike mending, this ability can heal constructs.

Greatworks (Su)

In order to craft grandiose examples of their art, machinesmiths create permanent energy sources, called mobius cores. They use this to power their most cherished creations. Machinesmiths do not create a mobius core lightly, for it means the crafter entraps a piece of their magical essence outside their body. At 1st level, a machinesmith can choose to create a mobius core in order to power a greatwork. Machinesmiths currently know of three common types of greatworks, but there may be more. At 5th and every five levels thereafter, the machinesmith upgrades a greatwork they currently possess in order to represent his growing skill and power. Upgrades must be performed in order and the machinesmith must meet the level requirements for the upgrade. The capabilities granted by previous upgrades remain and stack with any improvements granted by the new upgrade. When installing a new upgrade, the machinesmith may reconfigure old design decisions, such as damage types, made at previous upgrades unless otherwise noted.

Unless specifically stated, only the machinesmith that created the greatwork knows the intricacies of the operating the machine. Spell-like abilities granted by a greatwork use the operator's levels in machinesmith to determine their effects.

A machinesmith tinkers with their greatworks constantly. They initially create greatworks during their spare time, even the minimal down time during adventuring. However, if a greatwork is destroyed the machinesmith must start over. Remaking a destroyed greatwork requires 8 hours of uninterrupted work, plus 8 hours for each upgrade. In all other respects, this resembles the process for crafting a magic item.

If a greatwork is lost and cannot be destroyed by the machinesmith, such as by an enemy, the machinesmith can sever the connection between their mobius energy and the greatwork, rendering it inert, one day after it is lost.

Trapfinding (Ex)

At 2nd level, A machinesmith adds ½ his level to Perception skill checks made to locate traps and to Disable Device skill checks (minimum +1). A machinesmith can use Disable Device to disarm magic traps.
