Leinathan's Rise of the Runelords (Inactive)

Game Master leinathan

Loruk seems like a pretty solid character. How did he come across this goblin tribe AND get them to not murder him at first glance?

Well, Korham, it depends on what he's like. I certainly have no problem with a LG monk, or a shoanti monk, or a LG shoanti. It just has to be justified.

No thank you to rich parents. As for traits that provide Craft or Heal bonuses... *checks book* the Artisan social trait provides a +2 bonus on a single Craft skill. The Mentored trait gives a +1 bonus on one Craft, Perform, or Profession skill, and increases your aid another bonuses. The Precise Treatment trait gives a +1 to Heal checks and allows you to substitute your Int modifier for your Wis modifier on Heal checks.

I also forgot about the extra skill point I'm giving everyone for Craft, Profession, or Perform, so consider me rebuked.

I know about the 0-level spells from your curse, but you don't start adding higher-level spells to your spells known until 2nd level. You should only have 2 1st-level spells known.

thanks, I couldn't find any, going to go with artisan, I didnt care for rich parents that much, just was a though, I got 180 to work with anyway, thanks. I will have the character posted in a matter of minutes, finishing touches going on character sheet.

Trait: Goblin Watcher
Loruk has spent a lot of time watching Goblins at Junker's Edge. He's seen how they work, how.. simple they can be. He knows their language, he knows what they like (fire, shiny stuff, killing dogs and riding on goblin dogs) - and he knows how to kill them (favored enemy: Goblinoids).

Now, the Bileworths (the tribe he befriended and led) - had always been a small tribe. They where reckless, stupid and had no disregard for their own or other's safety (so pretty much a standard goblin tribe) - but they didn't have quite the same lust for blood as the others.

Loruk had seen this particular tribe often, usually bullied by the bigger and stronger tribes. The Bileworths where perhaps smarter, seeing as how they survived in fewer numbers, but they lacked a leader with enough brawns to give them some leverage at the junkyard.

Taking this knowledge into play, Loruk had little trouble infiltrating the tribe and taking charge - all he had to do was help them out at the Junker's Edge.

And thank you. I've been thinking about this character for a while, and I've done my best to make all his traits and feats fit his background as perfectly as I could. I don't want to play your run-of-the-mill brutish half-orc - but rather a tough man with a good heart - seeking to do the world some good.

I get the Cure spells as bonus spells whenever they open up thanks to an increase in caster levels:
In addition to the spells gained by oracles as they gain levels, each oracle also adds all of either the cure spells or the inflict spells to her list of spells known (cure spells include all spells with “cure” in the name, inflict spells include all spells with “inflict” in the name). These spells are added as soon as the oracle is capable of casting them. This choice is made when the oracle gains her first level and cannot be changed.

As for that extra perform/profession/craft, I'll simply add profession dancing.

Sorry for all the rule blah blah =P

Ah, good, Loruk. Make sure you switch to having one of the campaign traits...and I can't find the goblin watcher trait. Mind pointing it out to me?

I have no idea how I didn't notice that about oracles. That's ever so very nice, and makes me think much more highly of them.

Might just be in the Anniversary Edition - perchance that is not the edition you are going with for this campaign?

Goblin watcher is a campaign trait, though it might only be listed in the Anniversary Edition.

Oracles are pretty good as long as you're aware of their weaknesses - lackluster saves, a limited spell selection and that you need to specialize.

Fast Learner will allow me to pick up the extra hitpoint AND pick an extra spell known from lvl3 onwards. I'll probably pick toughness at 3, since I'm a support caster who needs to soak up hits while providing utility, buffs and debuffs.

@ Korham Asiha - maybe our characters know one another before the adventure starts? That would strengthen the fabric of the party. I always prefer having parties that 'make' sense that way .. hehe :) there are plenty of opportunities: A he's her protector/guardian B he's from another tribe and their fates seem intertwined C they cling together because of their Shoanti heritage D they traveled to Sandpoint together.

Would like to submit Khalbar Bloodsong, Shoanti Barbarian, looking for his stolen family. He is built on a 20pt buy and I can tinker the details if you take a liking to him.

In the interest of full disclosure, I am DMing ROTRL in RL and have have 3 games on the pbp boards now. I always wanted to just be a player, but haven't had the opportunity yet. I'm interested to see your take on it. Pretty easy to keep OOC knowledge out for low intelligence axe wielding barbarians.

Let me know if what details to add/subtract.

For the life of me I can't find that trait in my book, and its not on the PRD either. Funnily enough, my copy is in fact the anniversary edition, so i dunno whats up.

Page 4, Anniversary Edition Player's Guide Link

Khalbar must have a campaign trait.

Also, what would be his motivations to stay anywhere once he's "recuperated" instead of simply moving on to Magnimar to search for his family? Say, he's getting hired for hero stuff, what's to say he won't be like "eh, I don't care. I care more about my FAMILY" and then run off into the sunset?

Wow. I certainly missed that.
Feel free to use those, folks.

Updated Korham's gear, quick question though, I would like to have a chess board or something as another keepsake from his father. Would that be allowed and how much would it cost?

Also total comeliness of Korham is 12

Here he is, if you want something changed just ask me and I'll change it, also please read the other notes section as that provides some more information about his personality. Thank you for considering me :)

@Korham - I think it wouldn't be something you would have bought, so as long as its not something mechanical, you could have it for free. If it is, you could have it for the cost of the actual item.

@Jimmy - I'm having issues accessing that site. Is there another way for me to get to there?

The chessboard could probably be covered by the 'boardgame', Korham. There's lots of fun stuff in there =P

@Jimmy - I'm having issues accessing that site. Is there another way for me to get to there?

You could try going through the site and make an account if that doesn't work I can post his info here.

@Jimmy - I think I would prefer the latter, honestly.

No prob, I'll keep the character sheet for my purposes to keep control of level and all that.

Notes: Young dwarf friend to the sheriff. He has a good sense of honor, tradition and loyalty. He will defend sandpoint to his last breath and then some. He dislikes Goblins and has been trained to fight them and their orcish leaders. He also dislikes thieves and assassins, as they are dishonorable and, well not good. He is a perfectionist at his craft of being a smith and he prides himself on it. He can fix nearly any weapon and armor if given time and resources. He will give it his all to help a teammate who has earned his respect, be it in a tavern brawl or a good story during ale. He stands at 4'10' and uses a weapon as long as himself. He has a long brown beard that reaches about 1 foot down. He always keeps his holy symbol on him, on his weapon and the symbol itself around his neck.

If you go to .. my account -> create new alias .. you can copy/paste all the necessary info into the profile page and pick an avatar :P

Khalbar updated with Friends and Enemies campaign trait. His father and uncle saved the Ranger Daviren Hosk from a bugbear ambush on the Storval while he was out hunting goblins. Hosk pledged aid if any family ever came to Sandpoint. This pledge is part of what brought Khalbar to Sandpoint to begin with. I also added teh mount and trait-specific tack to the stat block.

How do I add all the information once the alias is created, editing it doesn't add any other options from what I see?

Once you've created the alias you simply go to the profile page .. paizo.com/people/nameofthatalias .. and you click on edit my profile :)

@ Leinathan, should I replace the Missionary trait or can I use the old trait?

Okay so here is the character: http://paizo.com/people/ArtaxeFireforge#newPost

Now, I tend the forge around town. Perfect make with steel and stone. I can turn nearly any weapon or armor into a weapon of power, and not just by making them, by wielding them to, don't-cha-no, laddy.

I'm toying with 3 different ideas: a cleric, a hexcrafter magus, or an alchemist.

Are there any appropriate archetypes for alchemist that you would suggest? I've never played RotRL or seen it played.

when is the submission deadline?

I will be on vacation till July 17th

I will not bother applying if this would be a problem (I don't want to waste anyone's time with a submission if I can't be there for game start or knowing that being away will put me out of consideration right away)

Comeliness roll 4d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 6, 2) = 16
drop the 2
which leaves 3+5+6=14+(cha17)+3 that makes my Comeliness 17

Hey, Yoricks, feel free to submit. You're a great player and I like those.

Well alright then. :) I'll have a character posted this evening.

Comeliness: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 4, 2) = 16
Dropping the 2 makes 14. Plus whatever my Cha ends up being.

Ain't we the prettiest adventurers group this forum has ever seen?!

4d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 6, 5) = 16

Drop the 1 gives me a 15 plus my charisma bonus..

it does look to be a comely bunch.

Comeliness: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 1, 6) = 13
Removing the 1, so 12 total then.

Also, I'm assuming +2 points for being Neutral Good, altered 'Boss' accordingly.

Rhanloi, do you have a bookshop yet, or are you just trying to get one? Do you see this as being something that actually happens during the campaign, and if so, how are you planning to manage owning a store while adventuring?

system dropped my attempt to answer this earlier...ugghh!

4d6 = (6,6,2,2) = 14 + (14cha) = 16 comeliness

wait we get bonuses for being good?

Stats: Stats will be generated via 20 point buy, with an additional 1 point given for being Chaotic or Lawful, and an additional 2 points given for being Good or Evil.

I know that was talking about the Comeliness

Never added two points to comliness. Only stated that I altered 'Boss' s stats. Apologies if I did not make that clear.

How do you get the green lettering for dice rolls?

Comliness 4d6 + 0 ⇒ (3, 3, 1, 6) + 0 = 13 (10 CHA)
Dropping the 1 = 12 Comeliness

Here is my Characters Bones!

I thought about making an evil character (an Inquisitor), because I've never done it before, and I think Lein would be a great DM to do one with, but unfortunately, I couldn't quite make the motivations work.

@Rhanloi you could type dice=Comeliness for instance between brackets to do so.

Had I not seen already a rogue in the entries I would have made a dwarven Oracle that could do a kind of lockpicking. But my monk should be able to work fine with a rogue now, Stunning Fist, Sneak Attack combo anyone?

For the record, nobody should let my application stop them from applying with a rogue if that's what they'd like to play! Remember that no character is guaranteed a spot until the GM says so. :P

Khalbar is updated with the extra ability points for Chaotic Good (I missed that first time) and for the extra skill point for profession.

Here goes nothing on the Comeliness roll:
Comeliness: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 1, 4) = 7

Seriously! Ok so that's 6+1=7 comeliness. Must be all the facial tattoos?

BTW, just did a quick run through of submissions (hope I didn't forget anyone...):

Pick - Duergar Rogue
Mongrrrym - Dwarf Ranger
A'letta - Shoanti Oracle
Arteaxe Fireforge - Dwarf Paladin
Boss Loruk - Half Orc Urban Ranger
Korham Ashia - Shoanti Monk
Khalbar Bloodsong - Shoanti Barbarian
Rhanloi - half-elf Wizard
Sethren - elf Wizard
Lady Pasara - Human Paladin

If it helps round out the group, I can roll up a straight up cleric/healer type to keep everyone running. just LMK.

It's not a real problem for me Dien. Haven't been able to play a monk yet, so I'm alright anyhow.

Okey-dokey, just don't want people to feel like something's already definitively 'taken'.

Khalbar, my oracle is a utility/support character. It's just in the early levels that I can frontline/tank because of my cha to AC, but that stops after lvl3-4. So a pure healer would most likely kill the group's offensive, but a cleric or inquisitor on the side would make things easier of course.

But, rangers and paladins can use CLW wands as well so if we keep those items in stock we'll be more than fine.

Here is Human Cleric of Desna I'd been toying with anyway: if the group or DM likes, I'll run him and withdraw Khalbar; fine with me either way... Will add an alias if necessary later.
