Nightflier's Shadows of Numeria (Inactive)

Game Master nightflier

DT is up.

Dotting

Dotting.

*cracks knuckles*

Let's do this.

I still can't figure out how to add an avatar/picture. I've done it before but I can't find it. I can edit the profile of my character, and I can see the avatars of all my characters, but I don't see a place to change/add a picture.

Only discovered this discussion thread now. Repost from recruitment thread.

Seems the party will consist of these characters:

Alvoise of Karcau - male Dhampir - Bloodrager (Celsetial) - CG
Henric Xantrian - male Samsaran - Investigator - N
Jayla Talusia - female Android - Slayer - TN
Raskir Windspeaker - male Werewolf-kin - Shaman (Nature) - NG
Valeria Avila Leonard - female Dragon-Half - BloodRager (Abyssal) - NG
Victor Gallant - male Kitsune - Swashbuckler - CG
Wily Ondir - male Undine - Bloodrager (Fey) - CN

plus mine to be done.

Plenty Bloodrangers being tested. Race variation rather interesting.

Seeing there is a large amount of arcane abilities in the party, I was wondering if I should take some other test class instead of Arcanist. From the arcanists discussions there is huge debates even on the latest version particularly require high Int and Cha to make it worthwhile and serious issues regarding arcane reservoir and arcanists exploits.

Should I instead of Arcanist take up the Hunter? A ranged combatant, based on modern day hunters where I live, with the animal companion teamwork could be interesting to try out? I do prefer playing spell caster / ranged attack type characters over melee characters, I tend to build lousy to almost useless melee characters.

Seeing this is one of those rare opportunities to take up very exotic race for the character, I thinking of Strix which does have Ranger as a favoured class option, as Hunter is a replacement class for Ranger and Druid.

I see the revised version is available this morning. Going to grab it now.

Yeah, I had a quick glance at it myself. Not sure how I feel about the investigator's studied strike as opposed to sneak attack, but... Guess I'll see how it goes.

Bloodragers don't have to worry about any changes so far until level 3.

If players want renders of their character I can do it, but I'll require certain notes on their appearance,
And no I can't do custom tatoos or any scars.

Valeria Example

KM game Sample

Interesting postures. So many.

Do you guys think I should go with Hunter instead Arcanist.

Looks cool. Hm...if you see the android from inner sea beastiary. That's her. Except she wears a chainshirt instead of leather chest.

Better part is I do have that book,
So I have a good idea on build, and colors.

And you'll have the same attire as myself,
unless you want the metal rings showing for the whole torso.

@DarkOne the Drow
go with what you feel like playing.

I going to start building the Strix Hunter. I see they have improved the animal companion, also given animal focus to companion, clarified some teamwork abilities, making the Hunter class more interesting than Rangers for me to take up, considering I was never really a fan of Rangers to start off with. Hunter seems more to what I ranger to be. Then again I basing my concept of the modern day rangers where I live.

@DarkOne the Drow
I can do Strix with wings for a render,
though I'll admit, I'll have difficultly finding male clothes/armour with an open back for the wings.

Wow! Found more information on the Strix that did not appear in the Advance Race Guide. In the Inner Sea World Guide, they are even as a playable race and includes a nice description of the Strix. Also has very important information to the setting, their home territory where my character would come from. I see on D20FPSRD someone added random starting ages and heights and weight tables, that don't appear in the 2 source books. This will be useful.

@Valeria, you love making portraits of characters. I surprised you able to make a Strix with the available components. I have not yet decided on gender. Good picture of the Strix is on pg 313 of the Inner Sea World Guide.

That'll be fine Valera.
Thumbs up for your artistic side ;)

Nifty, slayer a hd10 instead of hd8.
Favored target swift action lowered from 10 to 7th lvl.
2 Extra skill points :) (this was a topic of debate in a slayer thread)

finesse at first level, so nice.

Hey, guys. I'm having trouble posting, most probable because of the playtest document being downloaded in thousands. I hope that the thing will be resolved today, as most people will download the playtest after receiving the email from Paizo.

Sadly they did not have either of the strix for avatars, so took a drow one instead.

Will write up her appearance soon, though basic features is listed on profile page. Will be wearing a type of leather armour, that also serves to protect her shoulders from the talon's of Krist her hawk. Wings will simply be folded behind her when not in use, sticking out the leather top that has special cut with straps to allow for wings.

Added appearance description to her profile.

I got them mostly done,
I just need Jayla's Height for correct perspective.

@DarkOne the Drow
I don't have that book, but they are in the ARG.
And could not find leather armour with a open back, but I did find something close.

Note: I'm changing my height to 6 foot 6, Since I don't have a 6 foot 3 height present.

Thanx for your effort Valeria, though I changed armour to padded, due to the weight issue of leather.

Got feat and 3 traits / bonus feat to do. Animal companion to be completed. Defence and offence entries to be completed (will be done after feats/traits are done)

Androids are 6ft in height.
Where could we see the masterpiece?

Just realized the 3 traits, will try to find another one. Finally got the avatar.

Group Render 01

Looks cool.

Your on the left Side, Xaikon's on the other side.

Planning a Christmas Render for a bit later, along with a swim suit special for those that want reminders of summer.

Seems SKR is still planning on tinkering the Hunter class, liking some of the suggestions being made, particular to the animal companion part of the class. Considering they want the hunter class to have the most powerful companion, yet there are other classes such as Summoner that have more powerful animal companions, even by just expending 1 feat in some cases.

I hope I got a reasonably close look for Jayla and Xaikon.

Do you mean on appearance? :)
I'm sure at some point she'll have to reveal her face.

Do I mean on appearance, the answer is yes.

Then be patient. The time will come...it will come ;)

Seems Hunter class will be getting more changes according to SKR, that would affect my build of character. Currently Cha is low due being rather useless skill, but he is thinking of fixing the animal handling with more improved animal companion which relies on Cha. Also sporting the idea of spontaneous casting of druid spells that others (particular LadyWurm) and myself have been campaigning for to solve some major issues if animal companion is removed for long periods without opportunities to get replacement.

Lets see how all this plays out...

First thing is the impending brawl at the center table....

You guys don't have to worry. I'll allow character rebuilds as needed.

Great. Seems like he is planning adding Precise Shot for ranged style, and Precise Strike for melee style, as free feats to hunter. Just have no idea where it is going to appear.

Thanx for rebuild allowance.

Looks like shaman getting some changes too.

Think I got all sorted out on Xaikon's profile page, except background though it will include her journey from home territory Devil's Perch.

Going to begin working on Krist's profile now.

Nightflier, you said rebuilds are allowed.
Will adjust bio for the details too.
Since Jayla's functions are most dex, I'd like to switch the following:

Krist is up at http://paizo.com/people/KristZaikon, still missing feat, tricks and few items.

I'm gonna pause the game till Monday to give all of you enough time to rebuild your characters as needed, and then we'll proceed with combat.

Oki, Krist is done, ready for combat too.

Everyone ready?

Ready.

Ready for now. We do changes once next version comes out as there is significant changes planned. If Precise Shot comes in on 1st or next few Hunters levels I will substitute the feat, probably with a flying feat.

Ready

yes

So, that's four PCs. I'll give an additional day for everyone else to update their characters. After that, only those of you who posted here will remain in the game. That way I can adjust the combat to be challenging, but not overwhelming to remaining players.

Hmm, I should probably look again to see if they changed any shaman rules. I did not notice any but I should double-check.

I adjusted to-hit bonuses, but beyond that I'm still good with my feat/attribute selection.
