Yeah but how do we tell him apart from Igor, who has a reputation for using substandard parts, or Igor who has a mail order organ business and is rumoured to source from failed adventurers or that other Igor who has a bad reputation for sloppy stitching?
The trick is memorizing the scar pattern....
Guess we're waiting on Vixen.
Not just myself but Luke too.
At this point I am just trying to finish the backstory. I have the gist of it but am trying to round it out.
Build wise I am mostly done. Still finishing on the gear and a couple weapons. I will post the build later this afternoon as I have a 3 hour drive I will be making in about 90 minutes. It won't be until early evening till I am finalized on everything.
I will have it done today, it just won't be posted until much later. Also, anyone know a good repository of Varisian names?

I usually go off of what real-world culture Paizo is inspired by. Taldor is Turkish because it's based on the Byzantine Empire, Cheliax is Roman, Osirion is Egypt, Ketapesh is Persian etc.
Varisians are pretty fairly based on Central-Eastern Europe like The Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Austria, maybe Greece, that sort of place. (The Sczarni are obviously The Romani, for one) I'd look up Bohemian names. That usually gets you something in the ballpark. Or I just make something up, like I'm pretty sure the Shoanti are some sort of Native American/Indigenous Australian hybrid, but I just like the sound of Askan and I figure his background would keep him from having a real "official" Shoanti name anyway.
Huzzah
Flicking the ash from his cigarette, Alex reaches over and takes a mug of what could, if an astoundingly generous and tastebud-less man might be asked, be called tea.
Fastfist bounces back and forth on the balls of his feet, his hood and mask still covering his face. He runs through a few forms, punching and kicking the air, then with his sword, spinning and cutting and kicking. Finally, he sheathes his sword and resumes bouncing.
Come on, there's stuff happening. We need to get a move on.
"if you keep running around and bouncing like that, when you do get to the real work... You will be too tired to help. So calm down and relax, we will have enough excitement soon enough" the calm man says after a long swill of 'tea'
While Borden only swigs ale like water and looks... bored.
No excitement here... I mean, I'M Borden Read - the saga's are literally waiting to be written by me - all I need is an adventure or two to act as muse... I'll pad and add in the good stuff from there.
Sorry for the delay. Busy weekend. Will have everything up tomorrow. Probably after work.
Tactics- I'll likely fall into 2nd rank to give some inspirational words and then use my long spear and arcane strike to support the front liners.
Grease for area control or combat debuffs and the odd CLW post combat to clean up.
Still here.
Combat: At first level Lazlo will focus on flanking, as he really doesn't have much options besides that. By level 2 poisoned rapiers shall be something all mobs worry about(Unless they are immune to poisons), 4th level studied combat and studied strike get into the mix. Planning to get the infusion discovery as soon as possible. I have some idea where I'll take Lazlo feat wise in the long term but my plan when it comes to that may change if I see any feats I like in the ACG book(10 days to go).
DM, can I take the Spell-Less Ranger Archetype as well? Spells don't mesh with the character concept I have in mind...
sorry guys but I prefer that my character match up with my mental view of how they are...
as for my character, his combat style is very nonlethal, disarming and tripping and restraining
I just got the boards back like an hour ago.

Be careful with all the poison... You have to get the feat Use Poison, you have to worry about the cost of poison and repoisoning your weapon after every hit....
@ GM thanks
Alex Stride sips his tea, which was prepared in an old boot and boiled until orange with some of yesterday's milk, and smiles at the other would be adventurers. "Soon enough we will have Gaedren by the short and curlies, then he will answer for his misdeeds." the smile is harsh, and brittle, any who look into Alex's eyes will see that the ranger is looking forward to the encounter
Aye? I've a score to settle with that poxed goats pizzle, Borden says perking up some.

One reason I went back to Vanilla bard. I think thats fine to stick with what you feel best with. I've used that archetype before myself.
As I am fond of intertwined backgrounds, how does anyone feel about my tying my campaign trait into their story? I have the Missing Child: Sibling trait. I noticed several of you that I can easily tie that in.
Thoughts?
You can be the sibling of the friend I lost?

Sure! Although I don't see the section in your alias for the backstory. I just want to tie in little details.
My back-story is fairly nonexistent... Ill tie one into yours that one detail is all I have
Alright, I have an alias, a name, and some crunch. Kazandru. Backstory is coming along. I should have it posted tomorrow.

Right ok, I'm going to get started then.
Just a warning, I'm not going to be available for most weekends this month. I noticed yesterday I'm in work for about 10 days this month due to going camping and stuff with the family. I'll keep you updated, and it shouldn't cause too much interruption as I'm only away for a few days at a time in most cases, and at weekends that tend to be quiet on here.

Investigator gets Poison Lore at level 2 which eliminates the chance of accidentally poisoning yourself while applying it to a weapon, along with other bonuses that are related to identifying and neutralizing poisons.
Sorry for the delay - Basil Kettering is ready for review :-)
Tada! Thus the games begin:)
My background is done and in the alias.
If at anytime you start feeling that Lazlo characterization is starting to take away from the fun, please tell me and I'll tone him down.
Nah - I need your depth to show case my shallowness.
Done. I edited my previous post to include it.
Okay sorry Guys but my college requires that I pay attention in class ;) Ill catch up now
Mr. The Vigilante,
we are waiting on our scout,once he is back, we will kick off the game :p maybe you just stepped out .... Then stopped because nobody followed you
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Please only my secretary calls me Mr. The Vigilante, no need for formality between us; that paranoid guy with the rapier will do just fine.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
"Mr. That Paranoid Guy With The Rapier Will Do Just Fine," The man smirks indulgently, "You could always return to the group or just join the monk on his scouting expedition"
Auroch Umm... I think even you would know the auroch... Its the equivalent of a cow
I know what it is, just in character he does not. :P
.....damn, nobody even wants to know what I was going to use it for...
oh well I'll save it for another day
All the auroch-related plans I foresee spell fun but doom for the children. Think of the children, Death_Keeper!
I was. The Auroch was just going to be used to simplify our lives.
Don't go too far in this convo.... I'm headed to work until late
As a guy just separated and moved out I feel ya.
