I have the books. You just have to point me to the book and page number.


Male Human Warlock 1

Uh, I still have no idea how much money a warlock starts with. (Not that I'm buying much beyond a light mace, some leather armor, and an absurd amount of random knick-knacks.)

On a related note, I'm guessing colored water doesn't cost anything?

You do have Complete Arcane, right? If not, use the sorcerer's starting gold.


What is the Starting gold? Max or Avg?

I checked. It isn't there. Anyway, going with that.

Sorry, this thread normally doesn't come in my queue, so I attached it to my Favorites Bar. Can anyone give me a single post list of who's playing what? Are we still needing a warforged? I can oblige.

The things are still pretty much open for most players. I need one prototype warforged, but I can easily make him DM PC. What did you had in mind?


Male dwarven kineticist 3

I've kinda been building up a warforged monk. I had the idea of replacing the slam attack with being unusually agile for a warforged. Explained by either having longer limbs or limbs designed slightly differently. eg. digitigrade legs or a tendency to drop to all fours when running. I guess the in game bonus could either be a movement speed increase or a bonus to acrobatics or something similar.

We've got a soulknife, a cavalier, a wizard(probably), a monk, an inquisitor and a warlock. I'm not sure what class Sunset's playing. Basically, we mainly need a slightly better healer.


Female Human Cavalier 8 (Order of the Dragon)

Working on background but here she is so far.

Her animal companion is a huge dog, think Tibetan Mastiff, so I used the wolf stats.

An Oracle of Lore might work for my character concept if we're in need of a healer.

I mean recently and illegally created warforged who escaped from his creators. Depending on your character concept, we can change his ability modifiers or something else to make him unique.

Meaning you play a standard warforged with a character-appropriate bonus added. An extra limb, a net bonus to charisma, a power point or two, that sort of thing.

Dark Archive

Well, no. Let's say that you wont to play a rogue. Your warforged can be of small size and made in the shape of a monkey. His ability modifiers would be +2 Int, +2 Dex, -2 Wis (because he is new and untried model) and they would replace standard warforged scout ability modifiers. Instead of slam attack, he could have prehensile tail which could work as third limb, etc.


Male dwarven kineticist 3

My idea for a prototype warforged, created by one of the groups in Sharn (need to do more reading to fill in the details) as a spy and if the situation calls for it, assassin. Taught martial arts so as to have no need to sneak weapons into or out of rival houses/strongholds/whatevers. Mostly blends in with other warforged, but has much better observational (either suspicious or perceptive trait) skills and an eidetic memory (trait from iron heroes).
Only ability change from your standard warforged would be +2 wis instead of intelligence.

EDIT: Instead of the slam attack they could either have some bonus to perception or acrobatics or something or possibly an inbuilt hidden compartment in the composite stuff to conceal stolen documents and/or small items/weapons.

Dark Archive

Hidden compartment is not a big deal, so go right ahead with that. The monk warforged can be in some way connected with Kalashtar or inspired.

If anybody else wants to play unique warforged character, drow or something else, go right ahead.


Female Human Cavalier 8 (Order of the Dragon)

Ok background done.


Male Mostly Human

So, we're looking like we're needing the obligatory healer. Would be ironic coming from a prototype warforged. But I could try to run with it. Suggestions?


Just about done here as well.

Well, we've already got a prototype warforged with the monk, so you can do whatever. As long as we've got more healing than what we'd have just with the inquisitor alone. (Besides, beware the Traveler's gifts and all that.)

EDIT: Might as well make a list of the characters so far:

Spoiler:

Fharalkakhad(Eric Swanson), Kalashtar Soulknife
"Honest" Finial(Davi The Eccentric), Human Warlock
Rhiannon d'Deneith(Mark Thomas), Human Knight
__(Gameender), Changling Inquisitor of The Traveler
__(Calxymenthian), __ Diviner
__(Sunset), Satyxian(?) Fighter
__(grmnbln), Warforged Monk
__(Urizen), __ __

Perhaps a warforged reliquary? (Yeah... I may have gotten this idea from Matt McGee's Ossuary Golem)


Fem Elf Bard 3

*bows*

Sorry for being so slow to respond.

Yes: Going to g with Satyxian with fighter build eventually maybe prestige classing into "Dread Pirate" or other similar 'swash-buckley' type class.

Don't have time atm to grab the books and give you the page numbers, sorry. Will only be able to look in on the pages for the next four or so days.

Again, sorry for the hold up on my end.

Look forward to a big post when I get time to ask lots of other questions.

Like, Paizo characters are 'tougher' than the old 3.5 ones, so does that 'reduce' the older Iron Kingdoms level listing?

Are the 'quick plates' Templates from the back of the Monsternomicon allowed to be bolted on?

Cheers!

Spoiler:

Warlocks (introduced in Complete Arcane) derive their strange
arcane powers from unsavory and sometimes evil forces.
In Eberron, warlocks seem to have close ties to the various
fiends that inhabit the Material Plane, including night hags
and particularly rakshasas. In fact, some warlocks believe
that they siphon power from the rakshasa rajahs imprisoned
in the depths of Khyber to manifest their eldritch blast and
other magical abilities. Such individuals are sought out by
the Lords of Dust to serve as agents. Often these warlocks do
not know the true nature of the masters they serve.

Thought you'd find this interesting

** spoiler omitted **

Yeah, I vaguely remember hearing that somewhere. As far as Fineal goes, the Lords of Dust are probably the most likely source of his pact. Of course he doesn't particularly care about that at this point, but it's probably going to end up getting involved several levels from now. (Read: In a couple years.)

Also, be sure to delete the quote marks around Honest if you're quoting me. Having two sets of quote marks does weird stuff to the BBCode.


Ok, think I'm finished now, just need to finish buying equipment.


Gamender here, with a partially created character. Sorry about the delay, the 'something I ate' I said earlier turned out to be some form of intestinal flu. Haha. Yes I laugh.

Oh, and before I forget, can I take changeling racial feats, nightflier? Racial Emulation specifically from RoE p.110. And any other changes to the changeling while I'm making the char?

Edit: I can't find mention of starting gold for an inquisitor. After a quick board search, the most I could find is a suggestion to use Cleric starting gold, so I might as well use that, unless you say otherwise Nightflier.

I am not at home today, so I'll review your characters tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.

Elaborate on the reliquary. What would I be building that from? I confess that I get a little lost on all these variants, but once I get on the right track, I pick up quickly. Or if not a warforged, then I'm willing to look into anything else. I'm flexible. :)

I guess I'm usually the type of guy that tries to play the niche that needs filled rather than grabbing the first available option.

I'm not sure how it would work in terms of the variant rules myself, I was just thinking that if you where to play a priestly warforged, then it might be interesting to have holy symbols etched onto the surface, and a holy relic of some sort sealed inside the chest cavity... if I had to guess what that could do rules wise, it might have something to do with enhanced channeling.

Like I said before. Take one of the regular types of warforged(warforged, warforged scouts, psyforged, whatever), then get a bonus feature added. One of his examples was a gold-plated warforged that got +4 to Charisma(which is a net bonus of +2), so a warforged covered in holy rites to the god of your choice would probably get +4 to Wisdom(net bonus of +2).


Male Mostly Human

Davi / Calix - Sounds good! I'll get to work on it. :)


Would it be better to be a Warforged Priest or a Warforged Favored Soul? I assume it's Wisdom vs Charisma. I figure if taking advantage of FS, you'd get spontaneous casting and a better chance to dump Wis and focus more on Cha. Thoughts?

I'm also open for any feat/spell/prototype suggestions. I'd definitely would like to go with the gold plating as suggested above for starters.

EDIT: or maybe some gestalt FS/Sorcerer? Hmmm....

Just concerned because WIS and CHA are the penalty stats for Warforged.

Yeah, Favored Souls need a lot of stats. If you want a spontaneous divine caster, I'd say just go with the playtest version of the Oracle. (Or you could, you know, go with the almighty font of healing known as the Cleric.)

If you are prototype, you decide what are your ability modifiers. If you take gold plating, you will loose armor bonus, because the gold is soft, but you will gain Charisma as primary ability. It would work best if you decide which class you want to play, and I'll propose prototype for you.

Guys, I have some real world issues so I will not be able to give you my complete attention for the next few days. Sorry for that. My posts will probably be erratic, like this one.


Female Human Cavalier 8 (Order of the Dragon)

I'd say go with the gold plated pimpforged with the holy reliquary housed in the chest cavity. Maybe an ancient scroll of your faith's scriptures. Kind of like the Golem of Prague but with a personality.


I'm not familiar with the Golem of Prague. Reference?

Old story. A rabbi makes a man out of clay and breaths life into him with mystic rituals to protect the Jewish community from being exploited by the Holy Roman Emperor. Eventually, the golem turned violent and the emperor begs the rabbi to make it stop. The rabbi changed the word on it's forehead from emet(truth) to met(death), and the golem turned back into that much inanimate clay. More info on Wikipedia.

Thanks again, Davi!

Guys, I have a fever, so please bear with me if I ask something that we already discussed. Now, who has questions about the characters and which characters are ready for review?


Female Human Cavalier 8 (Order of the Dragon)

Ready

Grand Lodge

Would there be an interest in a gnome artificer? I think that someone put up a couple of minor Pathfinder tweaks to the class. You need someone to complain about the treatment the "poor bairns" are going to receive. :)


Ready.

Sovereign Court

Almost ready, I'm still debating between a Diviner and an Oracle of Lore. Any thoughts people?


Female Human Cavalier 8 (Order of the Dragon)

Go with new hotness.

If you went with the Oracle, I'd be the only real arcane caster in this party. You have been forewarned.

Anyway, ready.

I like it. Perhaps there is some material in "odd dark influence that seems to permeate her house" for a bonus feat? Perhaps something about Dark Six?
