The issue I have with this even the Robin Hood Idea is.. What do yo hope to gain out of the character change.. because so far Billy has changed Two characters.. that seemed to at least function fine.. so the first question is to what your truly WANT from the character... Do you want NOT to be overshadowed or Double up? Simply got bored easily with chars and have to switch alot? Want to do more Damage? I ask especially because we NOW have a Ranger.. and he will surely use a bow so thats a thing.Barbs are ridiculously awesome... especially at this level.. even more so at 7th.. (( Hint Hint.. Aasimar Bards make things cry))
Which reminds me.

I have an awesome spiked chain artifact in mind for Vash, actually....
The Promethean Links: +5 speed merciful shocking burst thundering chaotic outsider bane adamantine spiked chain, a 5-ft length of the chain that Zeus used to bind the Titan Prometheus to Mount Ida (I think) as punishment for bringing fire to humankind in the dim mists of prehistory....
Eventually, Heracles came along and freed him by breaking the chain that bound the Titan to the mountainside.... The Promethean Links are a fragment of that very chain....
If we get to make Christmas lists I would love an intellegent item... Never had a chance to see those mechanics in action. Or even if not my character, just one for someone in the party. But again, merely a humble suggestion from a PC.

Best intelligent magic item I ever saw was made by a friend of mine who was playing an eldritch knight, who crafted this item:
An intelligent flying carpet named Shaggy, who spoke with a voice that sounded like the Scooby-Doo character of the same name.... It was a shag carpet.... Since it was intelligent, it could make itself fly around on its own initiative, which my friend exploited by holding his actions til after Shaggy went each round, essentially allowing him to move at carpet speed and get a full-attack.

Darn I'm gunna have to pawn Highlander for a bit... But I need that Baldric.
BTw there is an obvious reason I have not posted.. as I was expecting response.. otherwise I will post up what he does with the loot.

Okay, I give.... What response were you expecting?
Hrm? I was expecting something from Jewels is all because it seemed like she would say something after that.... but we are now far Past that point. So like I said I'll post up My little bit instead.
Oh, ya, duh! Lol! That makes sense. Yeah, she gets all gooey, of course.... I'll post more details next time lol
LOL, its fine dude.. I assumed you forgot or overlooked the obviousness.. My response will have all of this stuff included so it will be .. longish.
Billy reporting in for duty. Should I post in gameplay or wait for a better moment.
Go ahead and post whenever.
Do you have any background fluff ideas for Kailin to help drop him in, Billy? Or shall I work my mojo....
I was thinking of a mystical intro for him, since he is clearly a supernatural muse-inspired creature of the outer planes. Perhaps he has come to Earth from a hillside portal to Fairyland (a.k.a. The First World, a.k.a Alfheim, or Elfhame) at this momentous point in history to record the epic saga of The Fierce Ones, foretold in fey prophecy to win back the mortal world from the evil Old Ones in its darkest hour....
I dont tend to be great at backgrounds so your idea sounds good.
Hey all, I'm back and would be happy to go play with some vampires. =)
Welcome back, Ruladin smiles this day
Hey all, I'm back and would be happy to go play with some vampires. =)
Welcome back, Rad! Just in time to roll initiative -- The FOs are back on the roof of the White Tower in London, where they've discovered that the Nazis have set an ambush.... There are three lookouts posted w rifles on three of the outer towers in the wall surrounding the yard....
This is mostly to whomever is a spellcaster in our little group of 9!
Do keep in mind that Rad is a Spellslinger with 4 prohibited arcane schools. His only real spells come in the form of Necromancy, Transmutation, Evocation, and Conjuration.
I will likely do less summoning now that we have a summoner in the group, but it would also be good if you others helped to meet the basic Dispel Magic requirement. I get less slots because of no school and anything not listed above takes 2 slots for me to prepare!
Thanks.
MJ, expect a loot list soon. I wont RP it since were past that scene.
Also, next level Rad takes Leadership, please be ready to go over leadership scores and what I want to establish with the feat!
I will help out as much as I can, but I'm basically a zero calorie sorcerer substitute, so pretty limited in known spells and spells per day. I'm mostly focused on buffing and AoE control spells.

Rad may have a little trouble with Leadership.. considering all the possible negatives.. and his neg Cha.
And Levinson, You vastly underestimate the spell list of the summoner.. and Summons.. they are very... useful to say the least.
I do love the summons... Standard Action casting and minute/level duration is quite nice.
I have minor healing and battle field control, but mostly I am here to make you all bigger and stronger. :)
While Rad isn't optimized for leadership, it's still something he wants to do. You can lead by action or principle rather than charisma. And Leadership is a pretty badass feat in almost every regard. Optimizing for it often breaks a game wide open anyways.
Huh, I've always ignored Leadership, as the gamers I've gamed with til now never seemed to take it. But now that I've looked at it more than a casual glance, I can't believe no one has taken it in one of my games before now.
I think this would be a break down of Radsworth's leadership score.
7 level
-1 cha
+1 generous and fair
maybe +2 from great renown (fierce ones?)
-1 moves around a lot
+2 has a base of operations (navajo reservation)
so a leadership score of 8 or 10 with great renown.
sound about right Ruladin?
I'd say that in the context of the game world, given that The FOs as a whole have managed to acquire two legendary artifact-level weapons and thwarted Cthulhu's will sufficiently to attract the attention of the Great Old One himself, that the great renown bonus is appropriate for Rad's Leadership score (and any other FO who takes the feat).
He doesnt have Generous and Fair... He is known to be the one to suggest people die or take the more "Logical choice".. he would be about a 9 or worse because he could get the Cruel negative.
Hmmm... Never played with leadership before. Although my character would seem rather suited for it.
7 (level)
5 (cha)
2 (renown)
2 (base of operations)
-2 (possibly? Not exactly a mount/animal companion/familiar, but the eidolon fits that spirit)
So with a score of 14 or 16, I could have a classroom of undergraduates and a graduate teaching assitant or three follow me around...
Well, again, given the severity of the game world, making the "logical" choice--which, to be fair to Rad, in his case has usually been suggested "for the greater good", to quote Hot Fuzz (my fave cop movie)--would not necessarily be considered cruel to your average moral individual in the same situation. Certainly not the heroic choice, but more of a, well, "logical" choice.
I agree that the generous and fair bonus would probably not apply, but it is understandably difficult in this new, horrific world, to be either without sacrificing yourself in the end. Thus, I'd say he doesn't get generous and fair, but neither could he be considered cruel by most survivors in this decidedly much crueler world. So, a score of 9 seems appropriate for Radsworth.
While we are waiting for Grimm, those coming after the Nazis can feel free to post your actions, and I'll fit them in chronological order retroactively if need be (or we can assume that late posters held their actions til they post, and reset their order in initiative)....
Silly question for Ruladin or anyone,
Can fly speed be used for a charge? Particularly can Kepler charge the tower snipers by flying at them?
If you have an actual speed not brought by Magic (( IE Wings, Swim, Burrow) You can Indeed Charge.. So Says Ruladin.
Tanks gunna tank...
Yea, looking at the chart Sun Mi will still be 5th level, which is maximum cohort level for a 7th lvl character anyways. Aaron will usually be my highest level follower, though he's just there to provide a sour outlook on Rad from someone other than Derrik.

The main thing is this: Will taking the Leadership feat increase your enjoyment of the game? If so, it will probably increase everyone's enjoyment, and I say go for it! :)
Can I get a breakdown of your Stealth mod, Yingzen? I don't doubt that you can get it that high at 6th level, just want to see how you did it, 'cause your mod is about 5 pts higher than I can account for....

..best..dm..evar..
I can help on Ying.
Dex +4, Skills +9, Sneaky Trait +2, Shadow Armor +5..
20.
Unless skills is 10, but it shouldn't be. 6 ranks +3 trained.
Ahhhh.... Shadow armor is what I was missing.... Carry on, ninja-bird! Lol!
I believe w recent Dex belt, he has +5 Dex.... Hence Stealth +21.... Most ninja-like....
6 ranks, 5 from dex, 5 from stealthy ability on armor, 3 for being trained and 2 for tengus being naturally stealthy. FYI it goes up 2 when he is in forests do to the rouge talent Terrain Mastery
Nice.... That's a stealthy Tengu!
if your going to do something be good at it
::Looks at his diminshed spellbook and tiny gun""
"sigh"
: : Looks at her non-existent spellbook and tiny gun : :
"Sigh..."
: : Remembers giant death monster: :
"Oh right!"
:)
But don't be sad Radworth, your gun is super magic and your character is so awesome RP-wise
The submariners must play "Shoot'em up" with Derrik again, before he can close in and annihilate them!
Ya know, Kepler makes a fine mascot for The FOs....
He's a raptor-bear-monster, which would make both a cool logo, and stuffed toy....
He's fierce, capturing the spirit of his team....
And I could see a guy not-quite-cool-enough-to-make-the-team wearing a fuzzy Kepler costume doing cartwheels back at Pandora's Box everytim w the FOs kill a monster....
