Leinathan/mdt's Kingmaker (Inactive)

Game Master leinathan

Sorry for your loss, TLO3. Words really aren't adequate for something like that.

I'm sorry that he's gone too.

Happy Halloween!
And for everyone who has wondered how do you say All I want to do is eat your brains in American Sign Language.

I'm considering opening up a second round of recruitment to replace those we have lost. Any thoughts?

Guess we might need to see what certain roles we need to fill in the eventual kingdom. Also looking at what our groups consist of.

We need front liners or those who use Strength/Dex as a main stat. We also need at least one or two people with Int as main stat.

A quick summary of what everyone's highest bonuses are yields:

STR:
Wilhelm - 16 (I'll be increasing CHA with gear before STR though)
Dante - 16
Vors - 16
Viktor - 16 (color me surprised)

DEX:
Koilia - 16
Dantalion - 17

WIS:
Anastacia - 16
Rowan - 15

CHA:
Felix - 18
Lanya - 18
Viktor - 16

Based on primary stats alone, I'd say an INT based class (Wizard or Witch) would be desirable. From a party balance standpoint, I broke people down by their roles (very roughly):

Melee damage/tank:
Wilhelm
Dante
Vors

Melee backup/Support:
Viktor

Archers/Ranged Damage:
Dantalion
Koilia

Divine casters:
Felix
Anastacia
Rowan

Arcane Casters:
Lanya
Viktor

I'd be inclined to say we probably want another arcane caster that's INT based (Witch/Wizard/Magus(?)). The last person can be pretty much anything. I don't think it's a big deal, but we do currently lack someone whose schtick includes disable device. I'd probably look at recruiting 2-3 with at least one being a full arcane caster.

I was thinking that you definitely need a rogue. I'm probably going to wait until I see what happens with the Felix group until opening it up. Regardless, I'm going to rule that the new recruits are going to not have a shot at the ruler position, it wouldn't be fair to the first group. I never noticed the absence of INT casters but now that you've brought it up, its obvious. And kudos to Wilhelm for the organizational chart!

Well for the Ruler position, that seems fair, the other positions might have openings including Consort.

So a Rogue and a Wizard/Witch/Alchemist would be preferred it seems. The Greenbelt looks like it could be a good home to a Witch living in the area.

Would it also be an idea to discuss leader positions in the kingdom already? I'm guessing new recruits might also have an idea in mind for their role within the kingdom just like we did. It could be handy to know what roles we need to fill and adjust on that.

Lanya at least would try her hand at either the Councilor position or the Grand Diplomat, though I could see Felix be the Diplomat as well. My other option would be Consort, but we'll see where life takes me ;)

Or just Alchemist, Vors is a Barbarian right? So there is are trap finding and Alchemists get Disable Device as a class skill. The only difference between a Rogue and an Alchemist when it comes to that skill is 1/2 level. (And possibly the fact that one is Dex based whereas the other is Int based.)

Yes barbarian, and I am not going trapfinding.

Terracotta monk is good for traps.

Archetype that gets rid of trapfinding?

I've never played Kingmaker before (shocking, isn't it?) so I don't know what rulership positions there are. I think I would like to be a Postmaster if there is one. My idea is to eventually set up a message system much like the old Pony Express in the 1800's United States connecting all of our villages and outposts.

No Postmaster... link to positions

@Rowan, probably the closest thing to it is the Marshal position.

I am sick. Throwing up. Will hopefully post tomorrow.

Hope you get well soon Kertuffle!

Yikes, that's a bummer. Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks, feeling better today!

Glad to hear you're feeling better!

I tried to access Paizo for a couple of hours yesterday and couldn't. It was wierd, I don't think it was my computer, every other site I loaded worked fine, but any Paizo based site would never finish loading. Has anyone had any similar problems?

They dropped servers for 6 hours for maintenance.

Well, that would explain it then.

I added the explored hex (I think, correct me if it's the wrong one) to the Greenlands map. If you want to take over control of it, just send me a request. Alternatively I can unlock editing by those who have the link. Let me know what you prefer.

Good Job, you did add the right hex. I've sent you a request for access. Thank you.

Added you to the list of people who can edit the doc. :)

Thanks.

If we all have a preference or two we might discuss who fits what the best.

Any of the STR based roles for me. General, Warden, Royal enforcer

Also any strength based.

Spymaster or Marshall

Where can I find descriptions of the positions? I'm interested in Marshal and/or High Priest but would like to read about them before I decide.

Try these Ultimate campaign rules and scroll down to the Leadership Roles section.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hope everyone is enjoying themselves. I'm not going to be able to post until probably Friday night. Until then enjoy the holiday.

Hanukkah Sameach. And happy thanksgiving or harvest.

Sorry about the gap in posting, I work for Wal-Mart and had three Thanksgiving dinners to attend, one of which was out of town. I was planning to post after the Iron Bowl yesterday, but that was one damn fine football game and the repercussions distracted me for the rest of the night.

I won't be able to post again until Friday. Sorry for the last minute notice. I'll have my character updated over the weekend.

I've reopened the recruitment thread. Also if everyone could PM me who they support as leader.

Should we be doing a little in character jockeying for the role first? Right now the only one who pretty openly wants the job is Felix. Also, I added a post to the recruitment thread mentioning what roles we needed filled. Is Koilia still playing? I haven't seen him post in a little while. You mentioned wanting 4 (to bring us to 12?).

I'm sorry to say Koila is not playing any more. Feel free to plead your case for being leader. As always Wilhelm your help is appreciated :)

Bummer. No problem on the help. I'm stuck at work making a series of incremental fixes to some code and then waiting for it to compile before repeating. Leaves me a lot of short periods of downtime. :)
