I am interested but I don't know if you still need or want anyone. Are there any roles that are needed still?
But a follower of Dao would be a fun, fun character design.


I'm interested in playing a Kitsune sorcerer. Is that cool?

Silver Crusade

all of those are cool.

Silver Crusade

Okay, a few rules.

You need to submit your player characters to the wiki when you get the crunch done. So that includes a picture too.


What can you tell me about the modified Draconic bloodline?


wiki?


Like this?

Couldn't upload picture so put in a link. Avatar i will use on this board's alias won't be the same of course. Didn't put any traits in as I don't know what the trait rules are. Assumed average starting gold for my purchases. Is that ok?


After reading up on the wiki link on the previous page, I have been sold on a Daoist (I know they are pronounced the same way but which spelling do you prefer? ) Oracle. I take it the ancestors mystery is the best equivalent?

You get 2 traits.

Heavens, actually. :) Ancestors are for the diviners of spirits.


Do you still have room GM? I'd like to make a kung-fu hero, similar to the "man with the iron fists". Probably brawler/monk....

Silver Crusade

I haven't culled out any characters yet.

no one has submitted a rogue, for instance.


Dotting for interest... possibly as a ninja, or a regular rogue, if you prefer.


Unless I missed it... is half-elf allowed? I didn't see anything about crossbreeding with humans and the Spirit folk...


I am dotting interest, so close is in July? As for my character class path, Armored Archetype Soulknife/Aegis/Metaforge - Aberrant Aegis suit. The reason for the Armored Archetype is because the Aberrant Aegis suit is more like psychoactive skin and the armor protection comes from the Soulknife. Is this permitted? Are Psionic races permitted on top of the already permitted races?

Note: The Aberrant suit depending what powers were chosen would look something like the Independence Day Aliens wearing their bio suits covered in crystallized rock. How would that be viewed? ... LOL

As if you are an ogre or oni. That's how you you'd be viewed. :)


LOL, I figured that but I had to ask since it is on my want to play list. Anyway since I will be lynched or chased out of town, how about a Dragonborne Enlightened Monk and Psychic Fist Prestige Class? Also, can he have hook swords or just stick to the Temple sword?

Silver Crusade

Hook swords are possible. Dragonborn enlightened monk is possible. Here are the rules for Dragonborn.

I didn't add them in because used 3rd Edition OA as a guideline. But there is no reason why their can't be half-elves.


Hmm, does replace skill training trait mean the Intimidate Trait? I used CTRL+F to look for skill training and it is not in there verbatim.

Alternate Traits:
Gliding Wings: Some Dragonborn (19%) have wings like the winged kobolds. They take no damage from falling (as if subject to a constant nonmagical feather fall spell). While in midair, members of this race can move up to 5 feet in any horizontal direction for every 1 foot they fall, at a speed of 60 feet per round. A dragon born with gliding wings cannot gain height with these wings alone; it merely coasts in other directions as it falls. If subjected to a strong wind or any other effect that causes a creature with gliding wings to rise, it can take advantage of the updraft to increase the distance it can glide. This trait replaces the Skill Training trait.


Alright, I think I added An Kai Hong to the wiki with a photo. I put the stuff in my profile then posted a message. Is that what you wanted?

** spoiler omitted **

That's one thing I didn't change. It's meant to replace Intimidating Presence.

That would work, yeah. It works for now.


Hmm, disregard the hook swords, not for this character although those weapons are awesome. I will just use a Temple sword if I need a sword but a Psychic Fist should be quite sufficient without a martial weapon.


Here is the basic info on my proposed "Wandering Monk" trope character...
It uses the Brawler Class from the ACG, but I could adapt to a monk easily enough if you aren't comfortable with the ACG classes. I like the brawler because its more of a martial class versus the monk which is more mystical.

each level*.

Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A brawler is proficient
with all simple weapons plus the handaxe, short sword,
and weapons from the close fighter weapon group. She is
proficient with light armor, but not with shields.

Martial Maneuvers (Ex): At 1st level, a brawler can
spend a move action to gain the benefit of a combat
feat she doesn’t possess for 1 minute. The brawler must
otherwise meet all the feat’s prerequisites. She may use
this ability a number of times per day equal to half her
brawler level (minimum 1).
If this ability is triggered before the duration expires,
the brawler loses the previous combat feat and gains a
new one in its place.
If a combat feat has a daily use limitation (such as
Stunning Fist), any uses of that combat feat while using
this ability count toward that feat’s daily limit.

Martial Training (Ex): At 1st level, a brawler counts her
total brawler level as fighter levels and monk levels for
the purpose of qualifying for feats. She counts as a fighter
and monk for feats and magic items that have different
effects based on whether the character has levels in those
classes (such as Stunning Fist and a monk’s robe).

Unarmed Strike: At 1st level, a brawler gains Improved
Unarmed Strike as a bonus feat. A brawler’s attacks may
be with fist, elbows, knees, and feet. This means that a
brawler may make unarmed strikes with her hands full.
A brawler applies her full Strength bonus (not half ) on
damage rolls for all her unarmed strikes.
Usually a brawler’s unarmed strikes deal lethal damage,
but she can choose to deal nonlethal damage instead with
no penalty on her attack roll. She has the same choice to
deal lethal or nonlethal damage while grappling.
A brawler’s unarmed strike is treated as both a
manufactured weapon and a natural weapon for
the purpose of spells and effects that modify either
manufactured weapons or natural weapons.
A brawler also deals more damage with her unarmed
strikes than others, as shown above on Table 1–5

The Basic background is that he was once a simple peasant blacksmith whose family was slain by bandits. He learned Kung-Fu in order to exact revenge and now travels the roads seeking out dangerous enemies to test himself on.


@GM Elton - Are the dragon gliding wings really air bladders instead of wings since most Oriental Dragons do not have wings?

True, most orient dragons do not have wings.

However, I still went with the occidental version for completeness.

Here is the type concept drawing.


Very nice!

Ugh finding a picture for a Dragonborn or Half Dragon monk is more difficult than I thought it would be!

Silver Crusade

the only pick I could find was a dragonborn monk in dark sun.

Dark Archive

I'd be very interested, but...

I'm not too keen on psionics AND...

I'm at a convention this weekend, so I will not have time to build a character before Monday sometime.

Silver Crusade

Well, if I get a lot of people, I may have to ask for GMs. :)

@GM Elton - Can I please have 3 more gold to afford a Temple sword?

Silver Crusade

You have to be more economical.

LOL, I tried, no problem - adjusting character sheet now to be more "economical".


Ok, I found a good weapon replacement and changed from ranks in stealth for more of a monk role playing aspect to ranks in perform string instrument. Yeah, I thought about the flute too but Qian does not want to be called grasshopper.


I've done the crunch besides for the money. Is there anything more you can tell me about the Kitsune of these lands to help with the creation of the backstory?

Need to add it to the Wiki with picture.

Here you go, read this first and I can build on it.

Kitsune


I notice my picture some how was deleted again, I will fix it tonight.


Thanks. I will try to have something written up tonight. Do you want every one who applies to post their sheets to the wiki or only those who are accepted?

Silver Crusade

Everyone, basically. :)

Silver Crusade

Okay, applicants so far:

Setsuna - (Sol)

Kai -- (Ashe)

Himiko Ojimi -- (Himiko)

Qianbei Yi -- (Anderlorn)

Stricia --

10 so far.

Named: Setsuna, Kai, Himiko, Qianbei, Stricia. 5 so far.


GM Elton does this satisfy your perception of modest living and 6 possessions max for vow of poverty (going to be tough but a monk is the most capable of it.).

Monk Outfit (Free, 2 lbs, 2 Items), Monk Spade (20 gps, 12 lbs, 1 Item), Common Pipa (5 gps, 3 lbs, 1 item), sack (1 gp, .5 lbs), and wooden bowl (1gp, N/A lbs, 1 item). He gave up a blanket for the pipa and I feel a monk should play an instrument as part of their meditation and role playing in general.

As far as gold, would 1 week of modest living be equal to no more than 5 gold? This includes all expenses.

Silver Crusade

Personally, there's something wrong with someone taking a vow of poverty in real life. As the GM of this game, it's up to you to take it.

That should work out.


If I have Qian take this vow, would it place a hindrance on the party and possibly exclude the build from the campaign?

I am taking it out.

Silver Crusade

You didn't have to take it out, it would have been interesting.
