Hey all,
I'm interested in running Carrion Crown #5 'Ashes at Dawn' using the mythic rules.
Looking for 4 characters that are level 11 with mythic tier 5, and different mythic paths.
I'll up the CR of encounters appropriately, but otherwise try to run as per book.
Game to last about a month, so I'd like people who can post at least once per day.
Previous knowledge of the book NOT a problem. Knowledge of previous books of Carrion Crown a plus.
Looking for characters, not just stats - don't just want to do combat.
Don't need to post from an Alias, but please link to one.
15 point buy
Core rulebook + APG only.
No Traits.
82K equipment, no more than half in any one item.
Dotting for interest.
Dot!
I think I'm finally going to try out a Barbarian...
I have all of the Carrion Crown books, so I can read through the first four to get a good idea of what's going on.
I'm thinking Halfling Summoner / Hierophant, though I haven't really decided what the eidolon will do. I know Hierophant seems like a strange choice (since summoners cast Arcane spells), but it has good buffing for summoned creatures and eidolons.
full at first, half+1 for second on.
so a wiz11 would be 6+(10*4)
I'm thinking an Order of the dragon cavalier going guardian or an Archaeology archer bard going trickster.
Sounds good!
Very happy for feedback on this both on how to make it a more fun game, and how to make it a better playtest.
I'm especially interested in how the Lesser Trials work out.
@Hawken I can truly sympathise, but time is very short and I's like to get started. I'm certainly not closing till I get 4 characters though. When will you be able to start posting?
Posting as Shalm's alias Seamus Sams, halfling summoner 11 / hierophant 5. Will have back story up later tonight.
Backstory is up and ready to go. Please let me know what you think.
If you have room I'd like to make a Phalanx Soldier / Guardian.
@Seamus/Shalm: Looks interesting - All you really need to know is
The Whispering Way killed a good friend of yours (Professor Lorrimor). You tracked the killers and realised they've been trying to get ingredients to somehow raised an ancient Lich-king known as the Whispering Tyrant.
If that happens Ustalav will fall under his shadow, and the living will envy the dead.
In terms of Ascension and Mythic Weakness; do you have a preference?
@Hawkwen: I'm off work tomorrow looking after a sick kid, so I get it. Get the backstory in and I'll wait for your sheet. Be warned if it is too crazy I might ask you to change some stuff round though!
@DM Mathpro: You still interested? The basic monk looks interesting, and I'd like to see what the Mythic rules do to a monk. Still needs some background/personality and the mythic adds
ALL
Okay, so two things I should have mentioned.
Party cohesion: you were all brought together as friends of friends. Since then you have repeatedly saved not only each other's lives, but each other's souls. Two of your initial companions haven't made it - and it is going to probably take a Miracle to bring them back.
While you can bicker among yourselves, and argue about what to do, you need to have a genuine cameraderie. No PvP (unless it is in the last few days of the playtest).
Closing
I'm going to need to close the game down about dec 19th/20th, possibly till dec 26th.

Sounds good to me. Still fleshing out my Inquisitor/Champion, but the bones are there.
Quiet, intense, but with a heart of gold, Morrack has taken on the mannerisms of a man hunted. Watching the doors, keeping his back to the wall, and other tactics some call paranoid have become second nature to the dwarf.
@Pendin: I'm only looking for four characters. I've had 7 people express interest, but only one (@Seamus) has met the selection criteria so far.
@psionchamster: Sounds interesting - I like the paranoia.
@Harakani
As for Ascension, the artifact one seems the most likely, since he's a con artist that deals with fake magic items. Does that sound good?
Hmmm - actually, maybe we want to wait to see if people want a party ascension.
But yeah - sounds good.
The adventure is way beyond normal con artist stuff though - it's a challenge of about CR 16-19. Happy to have been a con artist in background, and even using it now, but you're starting to approach the "construct my own demiplane" level.
Hey it's Hawkwen, here is my background and rough Mythic template. I will import my stats Sun. night and finish out the mythic stats. Let me know if there are any changes you would suggest. Thanks.
"The only good necromancer is a dead necromancer. Especially the kind that don't die on their own. I hate them, hate them so much!" Morrack raises his bushy eyebrows over the rim of his tankard and glances around the room again.
Sitting with his back to the wall and his axe near to hand, the grey-clad dwarf's gaze never stops roaming, always checking escape vectors, watching the hands of strangers, and looking for other threats.
Hello all, crunch is not 100% complete [Mythic details to be added - most likely Champion or Guardian], and also the background section is turning to be larger than expected, so it is still ongoing :D
In any case I would like to apply with my frontline Barbarian - Reknarok (a.k.a. Reknar). Let me know your input on him - all details so far are in the alias.
I'm going to make Reknarok's mythic goal in life, to try and match Seamus' Eidolon combat prowess :D
Here is my monk. I need to get background up but other than that I think he's all good to go. Let me know if you have any questions/complaints.
so currently submitted:
Jennix, Morack, Reknarok, Veimos, Seamus.
Have I missed anyone (all the aliases confuse me sometimes).
Closing to new submissions
Seamus:
You're in! Might need to keep some of the CN tendencies a bit under control when the others are looking... but if you do succeed, you'll be able to sell fake relics for the rest of your life!
Jennix:
You're in! Get me the stats when you can please. I'm interested to see the interaction between loremaster and mythic.
Morrack:
You're in! Can you put your background into your profile please.
Veimos:
I need to see a background, even a short one. I'm curious to see what a monk can do with mythic given the normal short shrift they are given. Assuming you are still LN?
Is Dual Path necessary for the build to work?
Reknarok:
Nice background! Are you okay if Lorrimer rescues you at the end, and you have a debt of honour to him - a debt you intend to repay by killing his killers?
Reknarok doesn't seem to have any mythic tiers. Can I ask that you not take Archmage, Champion or Heirophant please? Any chance you'd be interested in Marshall or Trickster?
Will be home in a few minutes. I'll update In a sec. Thanks!
Great, I'll have it all done tomorrow night when I get back into town. Thanks
No issues in being saved by Lorrimer - bring it.
This guy is clearly a Champion, however there is of course space for adaptation - so in this case, and since the concept is one of a Barbarian "tank", would it be acceptable if I took the Guardian path?
I think it would fit nicely into his background (not finished on paper, only in my head for the time being :D)
Let me know.
Guardian is okay - you and Veimos will be in competition for the Guardian slot.
Ok, I am working on his mythic advancement right now - I DID consider trickster but it seems so far off with the current character... Not only flavour wise but also in terms of sheer mechanics.
Let me first put up the guardin aspect of him as soon as I have it
"So much for the vaunted secrecy of the blasted Whispering Way, eh? Those silly dwergkid wouldn't know how to keep a secret if their mouths were all bricked up and mortared! Ha!"
Ok, Mythic Guardian Advancement done - spolier below and in the alias:
Mythic Powers:
Mythic Power (Su): Mythic characters can draw upon a wellspring of power to allow them to accomplish amazing deeds and cheat fate. You must choose one ability score as the one most associated with your mythic potential. Once made, this choice can’t be changed. You can draw upon your mythic power a number of times per day equal to your mythic tier plus your mythic ability score’s bonus. In addition to abilities gained from your mythic path and overall mythic tier, you can expend one daily use of mythic power to increase any d20 roll you just made by rolling 1d6 and adding it to the results. Using this ability is an immediate action that is taken after the original roll is made and the results are revealed. This can change the outcome of the roll. The bonus gained by using this ability increases by one die size at 4th tier and every 3 tiers thereafter to a maximum bonus of 1d12.
Ability Score chosen: Strength - 7 daily uses
Ability Score: You gain a permanent +2 bonus to an ability score of your choice upon reaching the 2nd mythic tier. At 4th, 6th, 8th, and 10th mythic tiers you gain a permanent +2 bonus to another ability score or increase one of your existing bonuses by 2.
Strength +4
Mythic Feats:
Combat Expertise (Mythic)
You can dart out of the way of attacks with an expert defensive stance.
Prerequisite: Combat Expertise, 1st mythic tier.
Benefit: Whenever you use Combat Expertise, you gain an additional +2 dodge bonus to your Armor Class. You can expend one use of mythic power to negate the attack penalty caused by using Combat Expertise for 1 minute.
Dual Path (Mythic)
You excel in many areas, allowing you to select path abilities from two mythic paths.
Prerequisite: 1st mythic tier.
Benefit: Select a mythic path, other than the path you selected at your moment of ascension (see page 3). You gain the 1st level ability of that path (archmage arcana, champion strike, divine surge, guardian’s call, marshal’s order, or trickster attack). Whenever you gain a path ability, you can select from list of abilities presented for both paths, as well as from the list of universal path abilities.
Fleet Charge (Ex):
You can expend one use of mythic power to move up to your speed as a swift action. At any point during this movement, you can make a single melee or ranged attack at your highest attack bonus (in addition to any other attacks you might make this round), adding your champion tier as an insight bonus on the attack roll.
Damage from this attack bypasses damage reduction.
Power Attack (Mythic)
Your attacks are truly devastating.
Prerequisite: Power Attack, 1st mythic tier. Benefit: When you use Power Attack, you gain a +3 bonus on melee damage rolls (instead of +2). When your base attack bonus reaches +4 and every 4 points thereafter, the amount of bonus damage increases by +3 (instead of +2). In addition, the bonus damage from this feat is doubled on a critical hit.
Guardian Features - As they increase in tier, guardians gain the following abilities:
Bonus Hit Points: Whenever you gain a guardian tier, you gain 5 bonus hit points. These hit points stack with themselves, and do not affect your overall Hit Dice or other statistics. (+25 HP)
Guardian’s Call: Select one of the following abilities at 1st tier. Once chosen, it can’t be changed.
Absorb Blow (Su): You can expend one use of mythic power as an immediate action whenever you take damage
from a single source, such as a dragon’s breath, a spell, or a weapon. You take 10 fewer points of damage from
this source per guardian tier you possess. In addition, for every 10 points of damage prevented by this ability, you gain DR 1/epic and 5 points of energy resistance against all energy types (acid, cold, electricity, fire, and sonic) for 1 minute. This DR and resistances stack with DR or resistances you possess from sources other than this
ability.
Level 1 Mythic Guardian:
Call Arrows (Su): As an immediate action you can cause all ranged attacks targeted at allies within 30 feet to
redirect to you (even if you’re out of the attack’s range). This causes the attack rolls to be made against your
Armor Class. This effect persists until the end of your next turn, automatically retargeting any ranged attacks
away from allies and onto you.
Level 2 Mythic Guardian:
Ally Defense (Su): You can expend one use of mythic power as an immediate action whenever a melee attack is declared against an adjacent ally. The attacking creature must roll twice on its attack roll and take the worse result. In addition, the target of the attack gains an insight bonus to its AC equal to your tier until the start of its next turn.
Level 3 Mythic guardian:
Cage Enemy (Ex): You can prevent an enemy from escaping your reach. Any creature attempting to move out of you melee reach provokes attacks of opportunity, even when making a 5-foot step. If the attack of opportunity hits and deals damage, the creature does not move out of your reach and its action is wasted. Creatures taking the full withdraw action do not provoke an attack of opportunity from you due to this ability (although they still might for other reasons, depending on their movement). In addition, if you charge a creature and hit with the charge attack, that creature cannot move from its space until the beginning of your next turn, although spells that move the creature still function. You must be at least 3rd tier before selecting this ability.
Level 4 Mythic guardian:
Epic DR (Su): You gain DR 5/epic. You must be 3rd tier before selecting this ability. This ability can be taken a second time at 6th tier or higher and a third time at 9th tier or higher. Each additional time it is taken, the DR is increases by 5, to a maximum of DR 15/epic.
Level 5 Mythic guardian:
Drive Back (Ex): You can use the force of your sweeping blow to drive creatures away from yourself and your allies. As a standard action, you can make a single combat maneuver check and apply the results against the CMD of all creatures within your reach. Any creature struck by this attack is also subject to a bull rush combat maneuver,
using the results of the attack roll as the combat maneuver check. You must be at least 3rd tier to select this ability.
Just wanted to add that, if the group and/or the DM feels we are missing a rogue/ninja/Mythic Trickster character type, I can conjure one up in short order - crunch probably within the day today - but it will take me some additional time to build up a decent background - tomorrow maybe.
Let me know :D
Awesome, I'm ready to go whenever!
Veimos:
I need to see a background, even a short one. I'm curious to see what a monk can do with mythic given the normal short shrift they are given. Assuming you are still LN?
Is Dual Path necessary for the build to work?
Background is up. Its really short and I might add to it later today but we'll see.
I am still Lawful Neutral and no Dual Path isn't relly necessary for the build to work but wasn't really sure what other feats to take for the build and was originally trying to decide between champion and guardian.
After much internal debate I'm picking Reknarok. If this hadn't been a playtest I would have broken down and picked Veimos as well.
Alright, can those picked please sound off in the recruitment thread.
I'm here and ready to go.
Ready to kick some butt!
Sound off!!
Did you mean Discussion thread or..?
