Welcome to An Age of Embers, a Pathfinder campaign that will be loosely based off of Dark Souls. Check out the Campaign info tab for character generation breakdown as well as general setting info.
Most info you will find out as you play, but I'll tell you what you know at the moment and feel free to ask any questions you may have.
Doop
Backstory will be up later
What spells do you have Matt?
Spells have been added to my page.
Also, you going familiar or item option for arcane bond Josh?
Can I get a list of the more common gods followed in Gyt and what they represent?
I have a weasel familiar, and cool.
The Church in Gyt has slowly begun the process of annexing religions as the age continues. For example, Souna the Virtuous has a very small cult following, plus Erhart as her Champion. At one time she had quite a few villages dedicated to her worship, but as the Kingdom of Gyt grew, so did it's Church, and they began to convert followers of other religions en masse. Eventually the old religion would be considered 'heretical' or 'illegal' and would see no more growth while The Church flourished.
They worship a being called "Facientem" who is the Creator of all, including the various divine beings. The Church refuses to acknowledge other gods, calling them Divine Emissaries, or Divine Beings. They believe in the Nine Hells, which Facientem also created as a place to stow his 'failed' creations (the Wicked, Evil creatures, etc.).
The Church's reasoning as to why Facientem never appears to anyone is that, in layman's terms, he's important to concern himself with the day-to-day of his creations. It is said that he appeared in the beginning, and will appear once more in the end.
One of the main tenants of the Church is that everyone was created, made, by Facientem for a specific purpose. Like a scythe harvests wheat, or a plow through a field, every person was created to fulfill a specific purpose. It is the believers job to discern theirs and live up to that purpose. If they fulfill their worldly purpose in the mortal realm, then they will be lifted up on high. Should they fail to serve in their purpose then they will be cast down into the Nine Hells, where all failed creations are sent.
All other religions, by comparison, are uncommon to rare. Gyt is a large place with many different cultures and beliefs that were folded into it during it's era of expansion - much akin to the Roman Empire.
If there is a type God you wish to worship, go ahead an make it and submit it for review.
Wanted to ask before I post on gameplay thread, does Erhart visibly wear/display the symbol of his faith and would it be necessary for me to make a check to recognize that it is religious in nature? Not interested in the knowledge behind it, just whether or not I can recognize it as such.
I'm not trained in religion so I can't even attempt the roll. Oh well, my plans for that will have to wait a bit longer then
There is a reason for it that will be explained more when I finish my backstory, which will be tonight if I'm not too busy with school stuff. Also, it is more for roleplaying/character development and nothing too major so it isn't an issue to delay it.
Well, inspiration has struck and my original intention of a short backstory has changed into something that looks like it will take up a page and a half. Doesn't look like I'm going to be able to finish it tonight but I will get what little I have up now. Let me know if I need to change anything so far, Zack.
And with that, I am going to have to be done posting for the night. Got some work to do and have to get up early tomorrow.
Woot! First roll and it's a nat 20, a very good sign
yea saw your 19 and did a double take since you had a -1 to your roll haha also how does the dc thing work, is it that we are suppose to roll then after we break the dc we can unhide the post and use it?
Yeah, that's what I did. Editing a post doesn't change the rolls so I just went through with the roll and added stuff after
Ah, wasn't sure if it worked with preview as well. Now I know
In about 2 hours I'll assume no one has anything they wish to investigate further. I'll move the story to the next morning at that point and you'll begin your mission.
I am okay with this, I haven't been able to post much since I have been doing a school project. I also couldn't think of anything else I needed to do
Also Want to know how extra spell slots from int work. Do the higher spell slots mean I an place 1st lvl spells in them since i have access to them or do i have to wait for that lvl of spell to access them?
I believe the wording for it is that you have to have the level of spells unlocked but, ultimately, Zack makes the final call
EDIT: Yeah says under table on ability scores page that caster has to be high enough level
