@Jon Whitewalker sure and you can take an alternate birth background if you want a specific ancestry for your aasimar like angel-touched, etc. The d100 percentage roll for your ability, if you take it, replaces whatever spell-like ability you would get from your ancestry, whether using the generic background or the celestial specific one. Note that a couple of them on that table can be taken as alternate racial traits, so they may not be worth replacing your SLA with it.

That would help us greatly.

With my rolls I am not sure what to play.

With those rolls you could play anything and it would be awesome. And I hate you.

Was thinking class. Race will be Aasimar.

Thanks Stormcrow, 70 gives a +2 to Con, because I was gonna try to pick a variant that fits my class, but I wanted to be sure my con was sured up.

Zayne don't be like that ^.^

Well. Wait till we know for sure what AP we will be playing before you make a character =^^=

Was joking when I wrote it but after going back through the rolls of others...things are not even. Sure everyone is pretty awesome but there are still some far and above the others. Oyzar managed four 17's. Like a 60 something point buy.

Can we switch to something equally powerful but more fair like a 30-35 point buy at 1-to-1?

^ Also that. No idea what character I will pick until the game is chosen.

If we do go KM... please limit the amount of animal government roles :P

HAH! You could call your kingdom the Animal House and all be anthropomorphic or talking animals!

Thats what I was thinking, But it is strongly leaning toward Mummy, but I wouldn't mind a Kingmaker, or even Reign of Winter.

Storm if we pick Anthro template animals... I will only become more awesome. I will be King Ape!

And I know Zayne I was joking too. But you are right, some of us are getting way lucky. I was thinking whoever is picked we fine the average in PB and allow some extra buy for the other players. So if me and Oyzar are selected you figure our totals and give the other two the benefit of bonus PB.

You can always reroll. None of the rolls are set in stone until you make and present the character. There is also the foible and fame option, in which you get one 18 and one 8 and then roll 1d10+7 for the rest of your stats. It's one way that Way of the Wicked presented their rolls for your classic strong but dumb villain.

With Aasimar and all that I am looking at 18,18,18,17,17,13 I can take that.
Anthro Ape is +2 Str +6 Dex and +4 Wis. +3 Natural Armor

Zootropolis here we come!
Heh. If we all were Furries i can see it happen.
But we are not =^^=

@GM
With such a high starting roll system, i suggest either as mentioned before, 30 point buy 1for1,
Or maybe 2d10+7, take highest?

I have a friend who is a furry he is pretty normal otherwise.

Anthropomorphic templates are so broken, especially when you add in crap like feral and then become a monk with the vow of poverty.

Im one too =^^=

They are pretty bad, some are underpowered too with so many ECL adjustments but no worthwhile benefits. But yeah Feral and all that are bad in general. So I will stick with my 18, 18, 18, 17, 17, 13 build. It should do ok.

Yah. We arent any weirder than any other sub culture

True, I don't mind anyone so long as no one gets hurt.

Nah the weird people are the ones who don't play RPGs. Them twitch Call of Duty/Battlefield people scare me.

Room for one more applicant? Especially if I don't care which AP is run?

Sure. We're still voting on APs right now.

People seem to be leaning toward Mummy's Mask or Kingmaker at least in discussion.

Fairly sure I already have a character that I can use, just have to adjust him for the game. That and his motivations somewhat, but of course it seems using ultimate campaign help out a bit with that.

Which one is Kingmaker? If it's building a kingdom, I'm probably not that interested...but like I said, I'm not all that picky. Anything good for a sniper is fine with me (I like playing snipers. Decent damage, minimal risk. My idea of fun).

Was thinking about a potential way to allow gestalt(since it seems to have been asked for a lot) and still keep the relative power level low(ish):

What if you allow a sort of half gestalt, where you pick one class as your base, which determines your HD/BAB/Saves/Skill points, and then the second class only grants you class features(Sneak Attack, bonus feats, spellcasting) and skills.

This way, if you want to play a combat assassin and gestalt say fighter/rogue you would have to pick which one granted you the base abilities.

Thus, you could either have the fighter's BAB, Fort and HD, or the Rogue's skill points and Ref, but not both.

Any AP is leading at the moment with 10 while Mummy's Mask is at 5. Kingmaker is building a kingdom out of lands near the borders of Brevoy. Lots of bandits, fey, plant monsters, angry foresters, deluded dancing blood draining sidhe, the usual. Oh and one very very very very dangerous berry bush. Dangerous for kobold PCs anyway.

I like the idea of Kingmaker.. probably because I want to rule the world but hey who doesn't am I right?

I like gestalt idea. A Paladin of Freedom//Bard is my favorite idea of all time!. Of course he could never run a kingdom without falling or converting to a LG Paladin.

No gestalt for this adventure. I'll do it for the next one I run.

And if you want to run a paladin of other good alignments, it's pretty easy to adjust their abilities to CG or NG.

@Whitewalker Jon Why does Everyone Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears come to mind as your character's theme song?

Because it is classic.

Mummy scenes you may have forgotten

"I'm your servant! He was sent to kill you!"

If we do go with Mummy's Mask, let's hope someone remembers to take remove curse.... Them scrolls get awful expensive

Remove Curse is a level 3 spell available to most classes around 5th level.

1 = (4, 3, 4, 5) = 13
2 = (5, 5, 3, 6) = 16
3 = (5, 5, 6, 4) = 16
4 = (5, 4, 6, 3) = 15
5 = (5, 5, 5, 3) = 15
6 = (6, 6, 6, 3) = 18

Well that's a lot better than the last set.

Lots better, I dub thee my Squire!

Remove Curse is a level 3 spell available to most classes around 5th level.

Yup, but it's one of those spells no one ever remembers to memorize or take as a slot.

If you look at MM's campaign traits... RC is a must have!

You know its rare to see a Kingmaker get off the ground. Would be fun to see.

Are you voting for Kingmaker then, Kiasyd?

Yeah, sounds like a hoot!

Play method

I could do either play method, but my internet connection would be kinder to the rest of the group if we did PbP. But I'd really like to try a VTT game sometime...sometimes living halfway to nowhere sucks.

Ok we have about an hour 15 before voting for an AP ends. Right now Mummy's Mask is in the lead, with Kimgmaker behind it.

Any is still in the lead :P lol

Any is still in the lead :P lol

But does that really count as an AP? That sounds more like a 'vote' of "abstain", which then either becomes GM's Choice or opens it up to a second round of voting...which would likely repeat the cycle. "Any" should really be counted as one vote for each AP, or (as I believe it is currently being counted) as a "floating" vote for whatever AP happens to be otherwise winning.

Sorry, sometimes I can be a bit pedantic.

I'm going to have to withdraw. Have fun!

I want to see how you run Kingmaker

I would like to see a Kingmaker (Mostly wanna steal your ideas for my own alternate version of it)

Ok voting is done. We will go with Mummy's Mask as the AP. Character creation rules have been posted earlier. I'll add in a description tomorrow as it's time for bed for this old man.

Scratch that. I didn't see the last vote. So we're tied at Kingmaker and Mummy's Mask. I'll cast the tiebreaking vote and go with Mummy's Mask.

So, you're not exactly 'scratching' anything, are you? :P
