MUMMY'S MASK ADVENTURE PATH - GM Spazmodeus

Game Master Spazmodeus

What would you think of a reflavouring of the Ravener Hunter to be centered about Osirion instead of Mangwi?

I am willing to do some reskinning but this one may be too much to make it fit. The flavor of this isn't really in the AP enough in my opinion.

May I present Akil Khaled Aasimar cleric Herald Channeler of Horus.

After reviewing this one more, I am going to recommend switching to a different character. Too much overlap in the party it feels. I like the character concept, but it is the wrong fit for the party. Please submit something else though, if you wish to play. Thanks.

I'm going to throw a dot here. No promises.

Yeah, I might have to agree, sadly... I was thinking maybe 'the power of the desert' or something like that, but seems a bit too far-fetched.

After looking at numerous options, concepts and build possibilities I have decided on a spiritualist (shadow caller)/rogue (cutpurse) that will fit the character concept the best. I will be completing it over the next few days. I will be doing a even class distribution so I will fulfill the trap finder/skill monkey and secondary healer role. let me know if there are any questions.

Here's an update for Abu Shufta. I'll be adding his background later today hopefully. He's currently stated to be a very good trap finder and solid disabler, as well as a decent if limited face. Let me know if there are any questions :)

I'd love to submit Mahzuzi al-Wati for your consideration. :)

Throwing my name in the hat with an unchained summoner. It's going to be a melee bruiser alongside his eidolon, kind of 2 beatsticks for the price of one. I like the idea of using a fauchard to crit fish/trip everything and butterfly's sting to let my eidolon smash heads with a constantly-critting butchering axe.

Dotting my interest...Planning on building a Shaman's Apprentice Half-Orc Fighter with a Sacred Tatoo. He will be aiming at the Living Monolith PrC because I love the flavor of it and this is the perfect AP to build one in...As such he will be taking the Sphinx Riddler campaign trait.

The build is intended to be the melee tank & Damage sponge that the others stand behind.

If this rough outline of the character plan is okay then Full crunch and background probably by Wednesday.

I have a question about re-skinning an eidolon. I plan to go with the Twinned Summoner archetype, which has to use the Twinned eidolon type. So far so good. However, there's another eidolon type that got me thinking.

The Ancestor eidolon type is a manifestation of, well, an ancestor. The campaign trait Mummy's Curse involves one of your ancestors being cursed by a mummy (these names are pretty self explanatory lol). Could I reskin my Twinned eidolon into being my ancestor? Fluff change only, but I think it'd be pretty interesting if an ancestor of mine from thousands of years ago somehow noticed that old crypts are opening and was like "hey, I'll help this kid kill mummies and maybe finally get this curse off my whole damn family tree".

That is an amazing piece of fluff if I do say so myself.

Finally I had the time to write down something. I haven't been too descriptive about the exploration of the necropolis because I don't know what can be - or was - found there, and also because I'm not sure if you want us to know the group beforehand or that we have done the exploration with some other groups. I've also realised I've got another trait to pick, so if I choose something that should be mentioned, I'll tweak the story a bit, but mostly, these are the basics.

Senophris is a Sanctified Slayer Inquisitor. For now, he's set to be one of the party's DPS, and could develop some other secondary roles with minor changes/retraining depending on what we need and who's picked.

As a purely RP element, I am okay with this. I’d rather it be played as an uncertainty though. You have suspicions but not definitive proof as you ancestor does not retain all of his memories in the process.

Here is where we are with the submissions so far. If I am missing one, or if I missed a response, feel free to let me know. Thanks.

Ok, I think I got it figured out now...realized that I had background skills on, so just removed those. Added the exotic weapon feat and switched out Armor Expert for Tongue of Many Towns. (Was not too sure but should I have 4 traits due to the disadvantage, or just 3?).
Think that should do it!

Seems good now. And yes, 4 traits would be correct, so you can select another one. Thank you.

I have updated my character on the forum, it includes a breakdown of all my skills and contains a link to some of the archetypes and substitutions if that is helpful in your audit.

It also contains a correction to the original sheet (adds str to damage) and a small stat tweak (int 12 --> 13, cha 13 --> 12).

I hadn't even realized that Sekhmet was a possible Diety :-).

Right, I definitely have almost all of my character ready. I have just one question left.

Mechanically, he is a Hunter (Scarab Stalker) with a "Small Cat Companion" (Now grown to Medium size at level 4) companion. The two very much fight as a team.

He definitely worships one of the old religions (Devotee of the Old Gods trait). Mechanically, he is getting NO benefit from his religion. So the question is "just" chrome (but incredibly important chrome). There is NO mechanical difference caused by this.

He views his Animal Companion, and their partnership, as sacred to his diety.

So, I see 3 alternatives. I'd prefer the first but all are acceptable

1) He worships Sekhmet and his "Small Cat" companion is a lioness. This makes a lot of sense to me. Lions are actually RIGHT on the line between medium and large and it makes perfect sense to me that the significantly smaller lioness is a "small cat"

2) He worships Sekhmet and his companion is a Leopard. Either Leopards are close enough for Sekhmet or his belief that his companion is sacred is actually totally false (its been thousands of years, some errors are likely to have crept into things :-))

3) He worships Bastet and his companion is a Leopard. Either Leopards are close enough for Bastet or his belief that his companion is sacred is actually totally false (its been thousands of years, some errors are likely to have crept into things :-))

[Aside] Real world Egyptian religion is fascinating, at least partially because it changed so much over the millenia. In our real world, Bastet STARTED as a Lioness God (very similar to Sekhmet) and only later turned into the pussy cat God we've come to love :-)[/Aside]

I have another question. Does the Boon Companion feat work for eidolons, and if not is there an equivalent feat that I could take?

Submitting a dwarf terra-cotta monk from the Pahmet people of Osirion. Details are in the profile. He is not an overpowering fighter, but he has very strong saves, a high AC (higher against undead) and lots of hit points. I used the standard PFS 5 points per level and put his favored class points into the ability to ignore hardness when striking with his fists. He has a natural connection to other Pahmet dwarves and monks who are tasked with preserving the sanctity of graves, so he could be drawn into the events not so much as someone wanting to get rich but as one wanting to make sure the dead are not disrespected.

I've never run a dwarf before but I like how Djzero turned out and I hope I get to run him.

I was looking over the various bonuses Djzero gets from various racial traits, class skills, and traits, and I noticed something odd. The alternate racial trait Death's End (Source: Heroes from the Fringe, p. 5) states

Death’s End: Some Pahmet come from long lines of guardians who train to defeat any undead that enter the tombs they protect. Dwarves with this racial trait gain a +2 bonus to AC against undead and a +2 bonus on saving throws against spells and spell-like abilities cast by undead.

This replaces defensive training and hatred.

But the saving throws seem redundant to the racial trait Hardy: Dwarves gain a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against poison, spells, and spell-like abilities.

Does this mean that the bonus on saving throws against spells and spell-like abilities cast by undead stacks with the bonus from Hardy, since only Hardy mentions the racial bonus? If not, then maybe could the Death's End replace defensive training and hardy? If not, then I'll see if I can replace Hardy with something else.

Ok I finished Abu's background and made a few updates. This should be fineal pending any feedback. If chosen I could adjust a few things to meet team needs pretty easily.

Btw I hate trying to find a decent avatar image. Always such a pain and I'm never satisfied lol.

Made some minor updates to Alderway.

Maaan, do I feel that. There are no pictures for most of the rarer races, and nothing even close to a wyrwood.

Will rework my paladin tomorrow. Chat game last night. BSA Troop meeting tonight. Neither gave me time for a full character build.

Oh yeah! Same here.

So, I see 3 alternatives. I'd prefer the first but all are acceptable.

I’m ok with any of these possibilities. Mechanically it is a “small cat”, but it can be a lioness.

I have another question. Does the Boon Companion feat work for eidolons, and if not is there an equivalent feat that I could take?

It is specific to Animal Companions and Familiars. If there is a feat that allows similar for Eidolons I am not aware of it, nor would I be comfortable with this reskin of Boon Companion.

Does this mean that the bonus on saving throws against spells and spell-like abilities cast by undead stacks with the bonus from Hardy, since only Hardy mentions the racial bonus? If not, then maybe could the Death's End replace defensive training and hardy? If not, then I'll see if I can replace Hardy with something else.

Given the confusion from different sites (Archives vs. PFSRD), I will need to see the source material in order to make a ruling on this one. I don’t own this book, can you get me access to it?

Here is where we are with the submissions so far. If I am missing one, or if I missed a response, feel free to let me know. Thanks.

Here is the section in Heroes from the Fringe on Pahmet Dwarves.

Pahmet Dwarves

The Pahmet have been present in Osirion since ancient days and claim to have been sent by the gods to warn the pharaohs of impending crises and disasters. Though most scholars suspect that claim is more legend than history, the ancient pharaohs of Osirion treated the Pahmet with great reverence. In return, the Pahmet guard Erekrus, a necropolis in the mountains of southern Osirion, where the Pahmet interred the bodies of pharaohs deemed particularly worthy.
The Pahmet are a rigid and often mistrusting people; it is common for its members who avoid contact with outsiders to have the xenophobic alternate racial trait. Many Pahmet have the lorekeeper, mountaineer, rock stepper, and surface survivalist alternate racial traits. Those who come from long lines of keepers who dedicate themselves to the guarding of tombs also often have the death’s end alternate racial trait described below.
Death’s End: Some Pahmet come from long lines of guardians who train to defeat any undead that enter the tombs they protect. Dwarves with this racial trait gain a +2 bonus to AC against undead and a +2 bonus on saving throws against spells and spell-like abilities cast by undead.
This replaces defensive training and hatred.

For clarity and ease of reference, the core rules state:

Hardy: Dwarves receive a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against poison, spells, and spell-like abilities.

Since it appears those with the Hardy racial trait already have a +2 bonus on saving throws against spells and spell-like abilities, the +2 bonus on saving throws and spell-like abilities cast by undead seems to add nothing, unless the two bonuses stack.

FYI, on the web site differences, there are 4 things to remember:

1) Archive of Nethys is now the official home of the material.
2) Archive of Nethys gets to include the full text, including the non-open source information, because he makes no profit through his posting of the site.
3) Because there's no profit, the Archive of Nethys is basically a labor of love, and the guy hosting it has a lot of trouble keeping up with everything.

4) Because it is a for-profit site, PFSRD20 has to use ONLY the open-source material, but they can pay for a staff, and their site incorporates all the errata . . ..

Generally, I use whichever I already have up for the quick scan and thought/evaluation process, but I always check and compare the text between the two, trying to make sure that I'm working both within setting limits and incorporating the applicable errata.

Edit: At a quick glance at the Pahmet Dwarf question, I would be looking for errata for Heroes from the Fringe noting that the alternate racial traits provide bonuses of the type RACIAL. By the letter of the two texts, Hardy provides a RACIAL bonus and DEATH's END provides an UNTYPED bonus.

I honestly doubt that such was actually the intent, but it is what the formal text on Nethys says . . .. And the normally errata-integrated text on PFSRD20 matches. <shrug> I guess it depends on whether you are a "letter of the text" or "my understanding of the intent" kind of rules interpreter. I am generally a "my understanding of the intent" kind of player, myself.

hit dice Nathifa: 3d8 ⇒ (1, 7, 7) = 15
reroll 1: 1d8 ⇒ 8
hit dice BasekaMau: 4d8 ⇒ (1, 3, 7, 6) = 17
reroll 1: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Summary - An Osirion human Scarab Stalker Hunter who is a partner to BasekaMau, a Small Cat (Medium Lioness) Bodyguard Companion. A worshipper of Sekhmet she views hew Lioness companion as a sacred gift and obligation.

She is fascinated by the history of her people in general and of Sekhmet in particular and has become an adventurer at least in part to further her knowledge.

I'll finish up Tanit tomorrow morning (Stats are probably correct, need to add background etc)

Good to know; thanks! I'll check for errata on Heroes from the Fringe and post if I find anything.

I'm probably going to adjust Djzero's racial traits regardless of what the decision is on this to replace greed with lorekeeper and to replace weapon familiarity with shadowhunter.

If the benefit of Death's End does not stack with hardy, I will probably replace hardy with magic resistant.

Edit: I didn't find any errata. I'll post a question on Paizo rules forum thread. See what others think.

Senophris ready. I might tweak some minor things, like a skill point here and there or a purchase with the gold he still has got left, but mostly that's it.

Ok, everything should be in my profile now. If there are any issues please let me know

Asaran has been modified based on the different character generation rules. Have a little left over to spend on consumables, but otherwise good to go. (Unless I missed something, of course)

Busy Day Today. I may not get to post much, sorry. I will do what I can though.

GM, if there is no comment by our submission, how should we interpret that?

In this case Gummy, it means I hadn’t seen more than a concept. It was an oversight on my part, as it seems more like a plan than an actually built character. I apologize. I am review later tonight.

FYI, on the web site differences, there are 4 things to remember:

All valid points. The source though is newer and I have never actually seen it. AON is official but has been known to make mistakes so I wanted to see the actual source to confirm. Kind of along the same lines of PFS in my opinion.

Edit: I didn't find any errata. I'll post a question on Paizo rules forum thread. See what others think.

Keep me up to date on it. Given AON is more official I am inclined to accept it and if the source says the same (and I assume you are copying the quote from the source), it does seem like it would stack. Different bonus types.

Here is where we are with the submissions so far. If I am missing one, or if I missed a response, feel free to let me know. Thanks.

I present for your input Sertonek Bersiv, A Shaman's Apprentice Half-Orc Fighter with a Sacred Tatoo. He has taken the traits Sphinx Riddler, Artifact Hunter, and Finish the Fight.

Sertonek Bersiv
M NG Half Orc (Sacred Tatoo/Shaman's Apprentice) Fighter, Level 4, Init 1, HP 40/40, Speed 20
AC 21, Touch 11, Flat-footed 20, CMD 19, Fort 8, Ref 3, Will 4, CMB +8, Base Attack Bonus 4
Heavy Flail +8 (+9*) (1d10+6, 19-20x2)
Spiked Armor +8 (+9*) (1d6+2, x2)
Orcish Horn Bow (Compound +4) (20 Common, 20 Blunt, 10 Thistle) +5 (+6*) (2d6+4, x3)
Spiked Full Plate +1 (+10 Armor, +1 Dex)
Abilities Str 18, Dex 12, Con 16, Int 13, Wis 10, Cha 8
Condition None

Mechanically speaking he is a bruiser in heavy plate armor focused on getting to the front lines and brutalizing people with a heavy flail. If there is no way to reach his enemy he will resort to using his Orcish Horn Bow to shoot them from afar.

Background wise, Sertonek was an orphan raised by the shaman of his orc tribe within the Mwangi expanse. He grew up knowing that might makes right, but the shaman that was his surrogate father also taught him the value of knowledge, and the power that can come from it. Serton, the shaman, would often set him riddles or puzzles that he would have to answer before he could be dismissed from his work. Be unable to answer, or give a poorly reasoned answer, and he would be punished with a lash. As an apprentice Sertonek learned that a muscular brain is just as important as a muscular body.

His mentor also tutored him in ancient knowledge and languages, although he never showed much aptitude for any of them except for Sphinx. Since the day he first heard about the enigmatic beasts that were a perfect combination of wit, wisdom, and wild power, he has been enamored with them.

He has traveled to Osiron in hopes of meeting a Sphinx and convincing them to give him a blessing of their power. He also hopes to bring antique treasures from the expedition home to his master.

After thinking about it a bit, I'm going to make some adjustments to the character, so you might want to hold off doing a close study until I post my 2nd draft. Nothing major is going to change, but I've decided I want a few more skill ranks, so I'm going to do something I don't usually consider and drop the charisma to 6 and work out how to boost the Int up to 12. As mentioned earlier, I also want to adjust the racial traits a bit as well. I think these changes are in line with the character concept and not power gaming.

The Pahmet dwarves are likely less comfortable and skilled at social interactions, so the low charisma is consistent with how I planned to RP the character anyway. I plan to add a skill rank in a craft and profession skill to give the dwarf some skill at stone mason work. That seems consistent with the character concept as well, since he could then be consulted on crypt construction and is also consistent with the Terra-Cotta Monk's focus on stone and earth. I will probably pump the remaining two ranks in knowledge skills. Djzero will never be an expert, but I like to at least have the option of making a roll when there is knowledge to be gleaned.

Anyway, I'll post again when I've made the adjustments and I'll have a spoiler at the bottom to detail how the skill ranks were distributed and the scores calculated.

Here is a 20 point buy, 4th level version of Meriui bin Mercia, for your consideration.

He is a glowing light of security and safety for his allies, not really a beat-stick that easily eliminates foes.

Description: The dark tattoos across the young man's clean-shaven chin and the dark pits the matching ones make of his eye sockets are pretty universally the first things people notice about the young Kelishite. His almond-colored eyes, black hair and the tattoos combine to leave little doubt that he is Kelish in origin. His solid metal armor is fairly simple, but with an angelic ankh engraved into the breastplate. Wearing that much metal brings him some derision. The tower shield, on the other hand, has many desert people openly laughing at him, as anyone with his obvious background knows that mobility is key in open combat. The silver angelic ankh hanging by a cord around his neck is very obvious. His pack appears well-worn and loaded, though the array of weapons keeps most thieves outside arm's reach.

Sorry for the delay, I had a short vacation. I would like to submit Devon Durant, a unique catfolk rogue, your consideration. Let me know if anything looks off.

Just a reminder to those wishing to submit a character, recruitment will be closing end of tomorrow. I will be looking over things more today and tomorrow, and I may have questions into the weekend as well. I will be presenting the list either Monday night or Tuesday morning. Thanks.

Djzero has been tweaked and is ready to go.
Changes:
Charisma dropped to 6; Intelligence raised to 12.
Added skills: appraise, craft (stonemason), knowledge (nobility), profession (nobility).
Dropped feat: ironhide; added feat exotic weapon proficiency (dwarven sphinx hammer). This lowers his AC slightly but gives him a weapon that can do more damage and that can be thrown. If you think he is not as potent offensively as is needed, I will drop combat reflexes and add power attack to boost the damage more when necessary.
Replaced some racial traits with alternate trait. He now has SR 9 and can use non-magic weapons, including unarmed strike, to do half damage to incorporeal creatures.

I think Djzero can serve as a front line fighter but he has some additional skills and abilities to offer in the area of spotting traps and secret doors. He will be very hard to affect with magic and is particularly potent against undead. His background is a natural fit for the AP as he has trained all his life to be able to deal with the maintenance of necropolises.

See the profile for the crunch and fluff. I have provided a modest background entry because if selected I want to adjust it to fit the needs of explaining why he is being added to the party. Some of the background elements were generated using the Ultimate Campaign sourcebook. If the GM has a suggestion for how that background could be changed to better fit the storyline, I'm happy to make changes.

Edit: I just remembered you want a wish list. I'm going to add that as a spoiler on the profile. I'll also add a spoiler with some notes about my experience as a player and GM in a spoiler on the profile.

Hi GM, I've rebuilt Mahzuzi to be a gnome instead of an aasimar. I hope that alleviates your concerns? :)

Ah, yes. FCB is all in HP so that should be good. I’ll also add a wishlist of items sometime later tonight for your perusal.

Throwing in a dot, will rush the character together and try and get it up.

Question: what do you think of The Mummy films? I love them to bits and I want to play Imhotep in Mummies Mask!

He'll be a human Psammokineticist, so I might cross over a lot with Cuan but it's just so fluffy! Ideally I'd use a Ghoran since they have so many appropriate abilties but they're quite powerful and I'd feel bad. :) {If the GM says its ok I'd happily rebuild later ;)}

Please explain what you mean by playing Imhotep. While I do enjoy the Mummy movies (well the first two at least), I am not sure if I think this is a heroic character to try to model yourself after. What are the motivations you want to incorporate? Raising your dead girlfriend from the grave? Raising an army of undead monsters to bring a plague to Osirion?

Here is where we are with the submissions so far. If I am missing one, or if I missed a response, feel free to let me know. Thanks.

Malera Hann (HatersInHeaven): Osirian Human Divine Hunter (Paladin) Looks Good.

Shani (Newbonomicon): Human Oozemorph (Shifter) Looks Good.

Teos of An (Daniel): Garundi Human Fighter Looks Good.

Nimaethep (Starfox_SFX): Catfolk Monk of the Lotus-Nimble Guardian-Trapsmith (Monk/Rogue) Mostly looks good. Touch of Serenity should be 2/day (1/day per monk level, +1/day for for every 4 other levels). Might want to add Survial skill as it has a bonus beyond default.

Ebron Rys (Jagael): Elf Blood Arcanist (Arcanist) Looks Good.

Alderway (Skelatox): Wyrwood Sniper (Slayer) Seems like there may be something missing. There appear to be 2 extra feats but no reference to Slayer-Talents. Skills have a few issues I think. I am coming up with 38 points and I believe you should have 40. Can you show the ranks for each skill as well? Also, I think you forgot that Escape Artist becomes a class skill for you from the Freedom Fighter trait.

Asaran Neitekh (Tilnar): Human Divine Tracker-Trapper (Ranger) Looks Good.

Amadune (Darkwing_DM): Human Cutpurse-Shadow Caller (Rogue/Spiritualist) Reviewing.

Abu Shufta (Baggageboy): Half-orc Phantom Blade (Spiritualist) Still reviewing.

Djzero (Clebsch73): Dwarf Terra-Cotta Monk (Monk) Reviewing.

Rerus Ingundl (flooraboleth): Human Shifter Reviewing.

Tamit (Pauljathome): Human Scarab Stalker (Hunter) Reviewing.

Senophris (jereru): Half-orc Sanctified Slayer (Iquisitor) Looks Good.

Sertonek Bersiv (Nairb the Grey): Half-orc Fighter What is the additional bonus to every attack? You have an * on it but no explanation of what it is referencing. The only thing I can find is Finish the Fight. Otherwise everything else seems fine.

Mahzuzi Al Wati (eriktd): Gnome Archeaologist (Bard) Reviewing.

Mekonnen (Gummy Bear): Human Speaker For the Past (Shaman) Can you explain the math on Disable Device and Sense Motive. The bonuses are not adding up.

Meriui bin Mercia (houtonj): Human Sacred Shield-Warrior of holy light (Paladin) Looks Good.

Devon Durant (Brainiac): Catfolk Cat Burglar (Rogue) Reviewing.

Helikon: Aasimar Herald Caller of Horus (Cleric) Asking for new submission.

Cuan: Pahmet Dwarf Psammokinetic (Kineticist)
Lekkric18: Twinned Summoner (Summoner)

Nikolaus de’Shade: Human or Ghoran Psammokineticist (Kineticist) Please explain what you mean by playing Imhotep.

It is from Finish the Fight. I am terrible at remembering conditional bonuses like that. Static bonuses (like from Sacred Tatoo) are easy because they are already in the number, but without some kind of reminder I would always be missing out on my Finish the Fight to hit bonus...so I added it in as a parenthetical.

We don't talk about the third film!

Basically I do in fact want to play Imhotep, a cross of the historical figure (who was eventually deified!) and the Mummy version.

Short version of background would be LN Imhotep awakes/is released from inside the Wati Necropolis (probably by accident). He uses the various adventuring parties as a way of getting in/out and spends much of book 1 trying to come to terms with the world that has passed him by.

He'd still have all the 'power over the sands' etc because of being a Psammokineticist but none of the undead raising. He's a genius and a polymath (9 different knowledge skills) but doesn't have dreams of world conquest. He does despise at least one Ancient Osirian pharoah since he served the Pharaoh loyally before falling for Anak-sun-Amun. In a slight change to the film he didn't kill the Pharaoh but the Pharaoh, when Anak-sun-Amun committed suicide rather than lie with him, had Imhotep condemned to the Hom Dai in an act of revenge.

Despite that, and as a devotee of the gods of Osirion Imhotep abhors the undead, and so has plenty of reason to act on behalf of Wati. In the long term he would like to find and ressurect Anak-sun-Amun, but it has to be ressurect not 'return as an undead'.

If another PC/NPC turned out to be her reborn that could be a lot of plot fun!

I attach crunch, more or less completed for your viewing. Sorry its going to make a VERY long post.

I'll try and refine this tomorrow but I hope this meets the minimum requirement at least.
